Brie Larson the frontrunner for Captain Marvel

[NinjaPug]

Brie Larson the Frontrunner to Play Captain Marvel (EXCLUSIVE)

After her Oscar-winning turn in “Room,” Brie Larson may be ready to step into the shoes of Marvel’s most popular female superhero.

Sources tell Variety Marvel is in early talks with Larson to play Captain Marvel in the studio’s standalone project. It is unknown where things stand in negotiations but sources have told Variety she is the choice and Larson is leaning towards playing the part.

Marvel had no comment on the story.

No director is currently on board. Marvel, however, had always planned to have an actress lined up early, with the idea of possibly introducing her in one of its upcoming films before its “Captain Marvel” movie bows.

“Inside Out” scribe Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman are currently writing the script, which follows Carol Danvers, an air force pilot whose DNA is fused with that of an alien during an accident. The resulting alteration imbues her with the super powers of strength, energy project and flight.

Kevin Feige is producing the pic.

Larson has been choosing both big-budget spectacles, like the upcoming “Kong: Skull Island,” and prestige films, such as “Room” and “The Glass Castle,” which she is currently filming.

She can be seen next in Ben Wheatley’s “Free Fire” opposite Armie Hammer. She is repped by WME and Authentic Talent and Literary Management.

[CyberCubed]

I haven't seen anything with her in it, but from her picture she looks like a hot babe, so I suppose she'll do ok in the role. Ms. Marvel was designed to look good after all.

[AT-Man]

Isn't at least one version of Captain Marvel a muslim? I kind of hope the MCU one would be too.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Her name doesn't ring any bells... still, except for Mark Ruffalo, I've loved all of Marvel's casting decisions. So I'm willing to be won over.

[chrisdude]

I adore Captain Marvel, and this is probably the most anticipated casting of my life.

And I don't even know this person.

Isn't at least one version of Captain Marvel a muslim? I kind of hope the MCU one would be too.That's the new Ms Marvel, who took up the name when the old Ms Marvel took up the Captain Marvel name.

[ToTheNines]

Larson is an ok actress, not liking this casting though. This past month, the hot rumor has been that the director and lead had the same first name... was really hoping for Kathryn Bigelow and Kathryn Winnick.

Bigelow has worked with a ton of MCU actors and has made two classic war movies. I don't know about big action and stylized fight scenes, but she's insanely good at building tension.

Still hoping.

[Bry]

Whoa! I'd actually never considered this casting. But I've enjoyed her in pretty much everything I've seen her in, and Marvel has a pretty damn solid track record with casting, so I'm hoping this works out.

She was in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" as Envy Adams, was a regular on "The United States of Tara", made some appearances on "Community", was more recently in the movies "Short Term 12" and "Trainwreck", and won an Oscar for her role in "Room". She's a capable actor who's definitely on the rise, so this is a solid get for Marvel if she signs on.

[ToTheNines]

Ah, Community... that's gotta be her major in. Seeing as she's likely to be in Infinity War part 1 even before her own movie, the Russo's are likely to have major say in this casting.

[plastroncafe]

Loved her in "United States of Tara" and "Scott Pilgrim," but I haven't seen her Oscar nod flick. She's an interesting casting consideration. Certainly has the chops and the range, but I'll be honest I was kind of hoping for Gwendolyn Chrstie or Katee Sackoff.

Though I'll be the first to admit that neither of them really has box office recognition. At least not that I know of.

[ProactiveMan]

I like Brie Larson - I don't know anything about Captain Marvel, aside from being confused over the Captain Marvel vs Shazam! situation a while back.

[drgon78]

Never heard of her.

[TurtleTitan97]

It's official: Brie Larson has been casted as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel: http://media.comicbook.com/2015/10/captainmarvelbanner-154678-320x180.png

[CyberCubed]

http://media.vogue.com/r/h_480,w_480/2016/01/15/3-brie-larson.jpg

Dare I say it, she almost looks similar to Melissa Benoist. Not as cute of course, but rather similar.

[drgon78]

She was Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim vs the World and she is going to be in Kong Skull Island.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

That's a very flattering photo. But don't you go cheating on your bae, Cubed.

[Ninjinister]

Badabababa I'm lovin' it

[Cure]

Her best movie is 21 Jump Street.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Sweet! So glad they are going with Carol. She will ALWAYS be the ONLY true Captain/Ms Marvel to me. Love the character- as my username implies- and this looks promising.

[ToTheNines]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CoGOUHbVIAAdpbs.jpg

[plastroncafe]

I'm guessing this means the character is no longer a contemporary of Stark, and is losing some of her military rank, as Larson is only in her mid 20s.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Pretty sure Carol was always about mid-twenties. She was also a flying ace and prodigy as a pilot. No reason she should have to lose any rank due to age. She just earned it earlier than most.

'Mississippi Grind’ Helmers to Direct ‘Captain Marvel’

“Mississippi Grind” Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have been tapped to direct Marvel’s “Captain Marvel,” starring Brie Larson.

Since announcing the Oscar winner would be playing the titular superhero, the studio has taken its time in finding the film’s director. Marvel made it clear they wanted a female guiding the ship on this film’s voyage.

Marvel was not available for comment.

The studio had met with several contenders and sources say the studio not only wanted to make sure that the search was thorough but that the script was in the right shape before tapping who would direct it.

Kevin Feige has an eye for tapping talent that is ready to break out with James Gunn and the Russo Brothers as prime examples and it looks to be the case again with this duo.

The studio was looking for a unique point of view and they are heading into a new era films where they want to grow and change in a certain way that fits that new

Execs met with the duo many times before the studio decided to go with them and time and time agan the pair impressed the studio with what they wanted to do with this character.

The two have the advantage of navigating the TV and film world and Marvel does see that as a strength when it comes to developing and shooting their films.

Best known for their character study dramas like “Half Nelson” and “Mississippi Grind,” Boden and Fleck have spent a lot of time directing episodes for such popular TV shows as “The Affair” and “Billions.”

“Inside Out” scribe Meg LeFauve and Nicole Perlman are currently writing the script, which follows Carol Danvers, an Air Force pilot whose DNA is fused with that of an alien during an accident. The resulting alteration imbues her with the superpowers of strength, energy project, and flight.

Kevin Feige is producing the pic.

They are repped by WME and Management 360.

[NinjaPug]

Marvel just announced that this movie takes place in the 90s and the villain will be the Skrulls.

http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-marvel-will-be-a-prequel-set-in-the-early-90s-samuel-l-jackson-confirmed-to-co-star-comic-con-2017/

[ToTheNines]

That's really weird. I guess her powers stop or slow her aging.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Sweet concept art!

https://www.comicbookmovie.com/captain_marvel/brie-larsons-captain-marvel-battles-the-skrulls-in-first-movie-concept-art-nick-fury-confirmed-a152755

Skrulls... this sounds promising!

[NinjaPug]

Yeah I'm really curious how they connect her to the present day MCU. Something has to take her out of commission after the 90s or she would've been around to help in the Battle of NY.

[TurtleTitan97]

Oh man, I can't wait to finally see the Skrulls on the big screen!

[ZariusTwo]

Skrulls, woot. Guess FOX negotiations do pay off.

I have no care in the world for the comics Danvers [the fault of crap like Civil War II], but I'm very curious about how the MCU will pull her off, especially as she's more no nonsense.

[Spike Spiegel]

If they have Skrulls, the Fantastic Four can't be far behind.

[TigerClaw]

With the Skrulls showing up, I wonder if we will get to see Super Skrull as well.

[NinjaPug]

Pretty sure Marvel and Fox share the rights to the Skrulls but Fox has Super Skrull. Similar to the Watchers showing up in Guardians 2 but not mentioning Uatu.

I'm hoping this sets up the Secret Invasion storyline for Phase 4.

[TigerClaw]

I'm hoping this sets up the Secret Invasion storyline for Phase 4.
Maybe they will have a character similar to Super Skrull, but they don't name him, kind of like when we saw Uatu show up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, but he wasnt named, but looked kind of like him.

[ProphetofGanja]

Yeah I'm really curious how they connect her to the present day MCU. Something has to take her out of commission after the 90s or she would've been around to help in the Battle of NY.

I've been wondering the same. Maybe she gets her powers, fights a secret invasion of skrulls, and then goes to space for a while to do space things and then the end of the movie has her return to earth in present day.

Or since she's premiering in Infinity War maybe the end of her solo movie will tie in to those events

[NinjaPug]

Maybe they will have a character similar to Super Skrull, but they don't name him, kind of like when we saw Uatu show up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, but he wasnt named, but looked kind of like him.

They can't do that. All of the Watchers looked the same in Guardians.

[TigerClaw]

They can't do that. All of the Watchers looked the same in Guardians.
The same can be said about the Skrulls, they all look the same, so there has to be one that's very prominent to the story.

[ToTheNines]

Better look at the concept art.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHCr6jmUQAANnO_.jpg:large

[AT-Man]

Looks like Captain Spider-Girl.

[plastroncafe]

https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/8/8a/Spider-Girl_Vol_1_0.jpg

You think so?

Because I think it looks more like Captain Marvel.http://comicsalliance.com/files/2012/07/capt-marvel-jamie-mckelvie.jpg

[MsMarvelDuckie]

You really don't know much about her do you? That is her costume as Binary. If they are using that costume it minght be more of a space adventure type story.

[DestronMirage22]

Now that's a costume!
VERY accurate to the source material.
I hope it ends up looking like that in the actual film.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Same here. Looks amazing. I just hope the actress who is going to be in it is worthy of it!

[AT-Man]

You really don't know much about her do you?

^ This, and I said "Captain Spider-Girl" because she looks like a blend of Captain America and Spider-Girl.

[ToTheNines]

I think it's perfect. Can't wait to see it for real.

[saintsaucey]

You really don't know much about her do you? That is her costume as Binary. If they are using that costume it minght be more of a space adventure type story.

It's also the costume she wears now as captain marvel

[snake]

Honestly, I can't wait. I enjoyed both of Brie Larson's roles in Skull Island immensely.

[chrisdude]

The Binary costume is a white leotard, unless I'm missing something.

[ZariusTwo]

Geneva Robertson-Dworet, currently penning the Gotham City Sirens script for WB as well as the Tomb Raider reboot has been brought in to complete the script

https://www.newsarama.com/35948-report-gotham-city-sirens-writer-takes-over-captain-marvel-script.html

[ProactiveMan]

Not very practical shoes though. Looks like a good way to tear a ligament.

[ProphetofGanja]

Jude Law Lands Male Lead Opposite Brie Larson (http://variety.com/2017/film/news/jude-law-captain-marvel-brie-larson-1202621673/)

It seems he'll be playing Mar-Vell, supposedly (the article title says he's confirmed for the role but in the article itself it just says he's in negotiations)

I still kinda wish they'd gone with an older actor for Captain Marvel, I'd really been holding out hope for either Angelina Jolie or Charlize Theron (also I had huge crushes on them when I was younger :lol:)

Oh well, I'll give Brie Larson a shot since I'm not familiar enough with her work to say I'm not a fan. Guess I'll finally get around to watching Kong: Skull Island sometime

[chrisdude]

My first choice was Ali Larter. I don’t know Larson’s work, either.

[Autbot_Benz]

Pics of her in her costume

https://i.imgur.com/11XUv40.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/uejMSTg.jpg

[ProphetofGanja]

I see they changed up the color scheme quite a bit

Has her outfit ever been green in the comics or has it usually been the red/dark gray combo with some yellow/gold?

[Candy Kappa]

Odd color combo, makes it less striking and she kinda blends in with the background. Maybe it's for after effects or other reasons, but beyond the colors the costume itself looks solid

[Krutch]

Looks very CW to me.

[ZariusTwo]

Has her outfit ever been green in the comics or has it usually been the red/dark gray combo with some yellow/gold?

The original Marvel's earliest outfit was green and white

[Leonardo_thebest]

She's perfect. The costume looks great and comfortable.

[Sumac]

Looks very much like some elaborate costume for swimming, but as always judging about quality of the costume, by some photos is wrong.

[Andrew NDB]

Might not really be green. Might be like those pictures of Hayden Christensen on the Episode III set with a blue vest, presumably to be color-replaced later on.

Either way, it's about 100% likely to not be her final costume in the movie.

[TigerClaw]

It might just be a prototype suit.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Why the heck is it GREEN??!! Not sold on that if it's the actual suit. Just looks wrong to me. I had high hopes for this, and now they've dipped a bit.

[drgon78]

Set photos mean nothing, I will wait until I see a trailer before I judge the movie.

[Optimus Primer]

It might be some some sort of Kree costume, and she gets the normal red, blue and yellow costume later in the movie.

[NinjaPug]

Is this for Avengers 4 or Captain Marvel? This was taken in Atlanta where they're wrapping up filming for A4 and CM isn't supposed to start filming until March in California. Seems like it's for CM though with the 90s hair and what I assume is the Kree version of her suit before going with the traditional red, blue and yellow.

[TurtleTitan97]

Is this for Avengers 4 or Captain Marvel?

I've heard that these set photos were from Avengers 4.

[oldmanwinters]

Speaking of awkward set photos, anybody else remember Chris Evans in those giant fake feet for the street chase scene of Captain America: The First Avenger?

[Andrew NDB]

I've heard that these set photos were from Avengers 4.

Has to be. Though what was all that talk about "Captain Marvel" being a 90s period piece movie? I'm assuming we can junk that rumor?

[NinjaPug]

Has to be. Though what was all that talk about "Captain Marvel" being a 90s period piece movie? I'm assuming we can junk that rumor?

Pretty sure it's still set in the 90s. It was never a rumor either - Feige is the one who said it.

[ProphetofGanja]

Has to be. Though what was all that talk about "Captain Marvel" being a 90s period piece movie? I'm assuming we can junk that rumor?

Not a rumor (https://variety.com/2017/film/news/captain-marvel-brie-larson-90s-prequel-1202503813/). Their plans may have changed since then, but judging by that old-ass car in the photo I'd say it seems like that's still the plan.

[Andrew NDB]

Pretty sure it's still set in the 90s. It was never a rumor either - Feige is the one who said it.

So... so time travels to 2018 at the end of Captain Marvel, or gets frozen or something? Is that in her backstory?

[ProphetofGanja]

So... so time travels to 2018 at the end of Captain Marvel, or gets frozen or something? Is that in her backstory?

My guess is maybe she is off in space somewhere for a while and when she returns to Earth it's present day, sometime around the events of Infinity War

[Andrew NDB]

My guess is maybe she is off in space somewhere for a while and when she returns to Earth it's present day, sometime around the events of Infinity War

I don't think she can pull off being about 23 years younger, or older.

[ProphetofGanja]

I don't think she can pull off being about 23 years younger, or older.

They could always just pull a "time is relative" and say time passed differently for her while she was in space, or because of whatever powers she gains she doesn't age normally anymore

[TigerClaw]

Looks like the Captain Marvel movie is going to be an Action Comedy.
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/captain_marvel/captain-marvel-screenwriter-geneva-robertson-dworet-describes-the-movie-as-an-action-comedy-a158271
"Captain Marvel has a very funny voice, and it’s more of an action-comedy. I love funny female characters, so as Tomb Raider got more serious, I got even more committed to the idea of Captain Marvel being hilarious.

That’s not just me inventing that. Carol Danvers is one of the funniest comic book characters. She’s so sassy, she’s such a smartass, she won’t take sh— from anyone, and the comic books do an amazing job at capturing that voice, and it was important that the entire Captain Marvel creative team [kept that].”

[Sumac]

MCU movies...action comedy...you don't say?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

So, a former military fighter pilot who is a recovering alcoholic is supposed to be funny?

[plastroncafe]

So, a former military fighter pilot who is a recovering alcoholic is supposed to be funny?

Worked for Tony Stark?

[Cure]

Oh boy, a Marvel character who is a smartass. How original.

[NinjaPug]

Yes, they're bringing Ronan back! Coulson fans will be happy too.

The film stars Academy Award winner Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, with Clark Gregg, and Jude Law

[Autbot_Benz]

https://news.marvel.com/movies/86686/production-underway-marvel-studios-captain-marvel/

Glad to hear this I loved Lee Pace's Ronan from the first GOTG movie.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Worked for Tony Stark?

Different animal. Stark was ALWAYS a bit of a smart@$$. But Carol is a more serious character. She is driven to be the best, and her early life was not as pleasant as Tony's. There is a REASON she became an alcoholic. Unlike Stark, who was mostly a social drunk and a bit self-absorbed for a long time.

[Mayhem]

Glad to hear this I loved Lee Pace's Ronan from the first GOTG movie.
Ronan and Korath (his second in command) so there is obviously something outer space related going on then perhaps.

[ProphetofGanja]

Yeah, the movie is going to feature some of the Kree-Skrull war.

It'll be cool to see Agent Colson on the big screen again, much more so than Ronan or Korath. As characters we really didn't learn much about them in Guardians of the Galaxy.

I wish Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't brought him back; it totally negates any emotional impact his death had.

[Andrew NDB]

About the only thing that's going to turn me off about this movie is if the marketing machine starts to push it as an "important" movie.

[Krutch]

I just always found her very underwhelming in everything I've seen her do.

Scott Pilgrim, for example. Everyone played these over the top personalities perfectly. And then there was Envy Adams, the larger than life superstar, and she just kinda... talked slowly. A bit. Kinda.

She has this permanently uninterested vibe in everything she says, in every role.

Also, it doesn't help when actors constantly try to vocalize/push an agenda. There's alot of eye rolling that comes with that which I can't really help.

(and the shallow part of me wishes they casted someone, y'know...pretty. But I get thats purely subjective.)

So, yeah. I don't hate her or anything. She just kinda annoys me and has yet to bring anything to the table thats interested me.

You're probably thinking of Carol Ferris AKA Star Sapphire.

[Krutch]

Visually looks different than the usual Marvel movie. The only thing I've seen from either director is Half Nelson and that went for the handheld look, so, pleasantly surprised.

Still not hyped, but Marvel's track record already has my ticket bought.

...

Still wish it wasn't Brie Larson, though.

[ZariusTwo]

Carol FERRIS.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Not a fan of Brie, but that was a good trailer. And Marvel's had my ticket money on prepaid for a couple of years now.

[Andrew NDB]

Not bad at all.

[AquaParade]

That trailer didn't really click with me. Brie Larson's lines came off a bit hollow. I'm still pretty confident the movie will be good though. I'm quite excited to see the Skrulls on the big screen.

[ZariusTwo]

Looked pretty lifeless and boring to me.

as expected on twitter women are treating this trailer/movie like the second coming of christ

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I think Wonder Woman was far more impressive, both as a trailer and as a cinematic achievement for women.

[Autbot_Benz]

Also at the end of the trailer they linger on the word HER before adding the O to spell Hero that was groan inducing :roll::roll::roll::roll:

[Andrew NDB]

But if she ain't, that'd be hilarious. :tlol:

I'm actually betting she's human. It's a Marvel movie... there will be lots of comedy like that.

i.e., she barges onto a bus, knowing there's a Skrull aboard. Creepy old lady smiles at her, maybe says something that could vaguely be construed as sinister... then POW, punches her, while the real Skrull reveals himself behind her.

Totally calling that.

Also at the end of the trailer they linger on the word HER before adding the O to spell Hero that was groan inducing :roll::roll::roll::roll:

Yeah, that was the only thing I didn't like about the trailer. C'mon, folks. Just make and market a great Marvel movie. It doesn't need to be an "important" movie. WW already played (and deservedly so, really) the "strong womyn" card.

[Powder]

Does nothing for me, & Brie comes off so stale.

[drgon78]

Yeah, the Her + 0 thing was groan worthy.

[TigerClaw]

I think the Trailer was fine. Seeing that shot with the Blockbuster made me feel nostalgic about the 90s. So I'm looking forward to all the 90s references they might be throwing at us. its gonna be fun.

[Andrew NDB]

Finally able to watch it with sound. The music... wasn't what I imagined it (but it's a trailer, whatever), but it all works. It's a suitable teaser. Shows the tone, teases the villains and the players. The first actual trailer will be held to a higher standard.

Plus, this could possibly be the most Samuel L. Jackson in a Marvel movie yet. I'm getting like a "Long Kiss Goodnight" vibe from this, except instead of a sleeper assassin, it's a superheroine who can move worlds or something. And as a huge fan of TV's "Agents of SHIELD" I'm super interested in Younger Coulson.

This is why mainstream comics have become toxic to me. We're in an age where the movies rewrite the comics, when the comics are supposed to be leading the movies. It happens at DC, too. None of this would happen if Disney didn't own Marvel or WB didn't own DC.

[ranger_scout]

I thought that was pretty good for a teaser trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing a female-led movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will be a nice change of pace.

I'm past caring.

[AquaParade]

I'm past caring.

How come?

I'm still debating whether or not to see this in theaters. I love the MCU, but the individual films are about 50/50 with me. I've loved all the Russo bro's efforts, as well as a few others.

The trailer didn't do much for me, but I am excited to see the Skrulls.

[Leo656]

I enjoy Zarius because he's proof that I'm not the absolute limit in being a cynical curmudgeon. :lol:

We good, homie, we good. :)

Well, you guys know I'm not the biggest fan of these Comedy Central try out sessions posing as superhero movies anyway. I've always made the argument that if Batman & Robin were made by Marvel and came out today, it'd make millions.:lol:

On this, we agree. I've said the exact same thing about Batman & Robin. Stay outta my head, man, there's snakes in there. :trazz:

People are so weird, with the "We want it REAL"/"We want it to be a silly cartoon" moods they get into every few years with comic book flicks. I kinda understand it, but kinda don't.

[TigerClaw]

Here's the new Trailer

0LHxvxdRnYc

[AquaParade]

While I can’t agree on the Batman vs Robin comparison, being that Civil War, Infinity War, and Avengers are all leagues above that film, in my eyes, I have become very selective with which MCU films I invest in.

That trailer looked better than I expected. I want to like this movie, but so many of the non-Russo MCU flicks have left me dry lately (GoTG 2, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man 2), that I really need to hear that these films are bringing palpable movie atmosphere and bold choices before I check them out.

Long story short, I’m absolutely loving about 25% of the MCU films that come out, but that other 75% is some of the most lifeless, boring movies I can remember watching. Even when it has strong components, like quality actors, they still have this stale feel about them.

[TurtleTitan97]

Well I'm hyped. That shot of Carol fighting those ships in space was badass.

[Autbot_Benz]

Still not excited. I just feel Brie is bored/phoning in her performance

Similar, but different. I've mostly just settled that these things are for a lot of people, but not me. With some exceptions, of course. I like the Captain America stuff. I don't think I'll ever forgive them for making Thor a joke character/series. I'm like, all-out, they're not for me, and that's fine, but sometimes things catch my eye.

This one, to me, looks perfectly fine. But it also just looks like "Marvel Movie #84: This Time, It's A Chick".

[sdp]

Damn, I think I'm an old man because I keep getting confused with DC Captain Marvel who is now Shazam. This already has me being against this movie but the movie looks awful, the suit is ugly, and how are the skrulls one of the coolest set of villains not even shown doing anything cool? Why isn't this Miss Marvel with the iconic black outfit instead? I can almost imagine Kevin Feige throwing chairs in his office when he saw that the slowpoke mess that is DC somehow beat them to the punch with a successful female superhero and just rushed this.

Young Samuel L Jackson looks so weird and plastic-like, it's distracting but that's not a bad point, I actually find it cool that movie studios are doing it even if it's obviously not perfect at this point.

[Leo656]

Damn, I think I'm an old man because I keep getting confused with DC Captain Marvel who is now Shazam..

F*ck that. He's STILL Captain Marvel. He's the original, the one the name was coined for. It's called "The Marvel Family", not "The SHAZAM Family", fer chrissakes. :tgrumble:

I always refer to this company's version as "Captain Copyright Loophole." It's the pettiest sh*t ever. Cap's one'a my favorites, so this is one I refuse to give up. DC can throw their hands up because it saves money on legal fees, but that don't make it right.

Marvel were a pack of jackals to pull that stunt. I don't care how many years ago it was. Jackals and ghouls.

If DC/WB had any guts, they'd call their movie "The REAL Captain Marvel", and the lightning bolt would look like a middle finger. :tgrumble:

Less confrontational, they did once publish a book titled "The ORIGINAL Captain Marvel". I'd settle for that. So long as everyone knows which character's the real deal and which one's the scab.

While I appreciate fans of Billy Batson wanting him to keep his Captain Marvel code-name I'm surprised that anyone can side with DC on this.

The whole mess was started by them when they sued Fawcett purely because Captain Marvel was outselling Superman. It's not as if the lawsuit stood much weight, like pretty much every superhero is a riff on the original Superman.

Once Fawcett was shut down Marvel had every right to get the rights to the name. Their company is called Marvel and that's a codename which hits the ear just right so why not?

You could argue it's a dick move to try and keep the name even after none of their characters using the name took off (I was a fan of Genis-Vell who had a good run but ultimately didn't take) but I suspect that's not going to be much of a problem after Carol's movie hits. It's a sad irony that Billy Batson ended up being purchased by DC who can't use the name but let's not forget this was all started by DC trying to shut down competition.

She was pretty hot in "Skull Island", but I've never really cared about this character, and I really don't like "Grrl Power!" flicks, on account of me being a raging misogynist and all.

https://i.imgur.com/iAVtaGT.gif

[Leo656]

I thought Wonder Woman was pretty balanced. It definitely had a bit of a "slant", but it was much more even than the animated Wonder Woman feature. That one had its moments, but also had too many "Raging Feminzi" bits.

If anything, the fact that the live action film had the guts to have Diana essentially be a raging dumbass at the 3/4 mark earns it some points. In most of these "important" movies, the female protagonist is completely infallible, whereas Diana committed herself entirely to a singular idea and acted entirely on that, AND turned out to be completely wrong (not just as to Ares's identity, but the idea that killing Ares would stop the war(s) completely).

Making her both completely noble but also totally ignorant took guts. It enhanced her arc by actually forcing her to learn something, instead of magically being the one to have all the answers. Instead of her simply being a beacon of light to the ignorant apes in "Man's World", both she and Steve Trevor had a lot to teach and learn from each other. I think that's why it was such an easy hit for a lot of people. They could have easily made it an alienating "agenda" film, but they didn't.

[Autbot_Benz]

agreed than Marvel came along and said come see our Agenda film Captain Marvel. Speaking of I just muted brie larson on twitter and it was the most satisfying thing I have ever done

Ew.
How about making movie to speak for itself instead of turning it into propaganda piece?

Oh, wait. I forgot, lefties believe that people are too primitive to understand anything that does not beat audience in the head, like a jackhammer, with their ideology. Which, in turn, reveals that lefties ARE primitive.

There is difference with weaving message into the movie and making message the centerpiece of the movie where everything is secondary. Second way doesn't usually elevate its artistic qualities.

It's not about having political message in the movie, it's about going about it with a grace of an elephant in a porcelain shop.

Original Star Wars also had political "agenda", but it was gracefully woven into movie and didn't detract from enjoying it as the story.
The story was written and, more importantly, presented in such way, so you didn't need "author mouthpiece" in the film itself or hilarious ads and articles in magazines to understand allusions and what is what.

No-one loves to be preaching.
No-one loves outright blunt propaganda.

With this kind of marketing you have to accept it for what it is: marketing. The "SJW" slant is not going to have an impact on the actual movie. I don't care if Brie Larson said something "feminist" to promote the film. It's literally her job. Every advertising campaign has a narrative to push because it solidifies the concept of the film in the public mind. The casual viewer might care about the "sjw" aspect, but the fans are going to see this movie regardless, so why market towards them? Those tickets are already sold. It's the general public that needs to get informed and hyped up for the movie, and this is just a way to do it.

The point is, ignore the marketing if you don't like it. It's not going to have any effect on the movie. Marvel has a good track record of making passable, entertaining movies- and this is probably going to be just more of the same.

I wish they used the bathing suit costume though

Captain Marvel is an effective Avengers prequel in some ways akin to the 1st Captain America movie. It’s pro-woman without being overdone with pre and post credit scenes that made me tear up and gave me goosebumps respectively

[Andrew NDB]

It’s pro-woman without being overdone

Eh, and that's fine but it's like... as opposed to what? Is there "anti-woman" Marvel movies out there I'm unaware of?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Eh, and that's fine but it's like... as opposed to what? Is there "anti-woman" Marvel movies out there I'm unaware of?

Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 come to mind as examples that could be used. Because Tony's a lecherous dick. :tlol:

Really, Marvel has a problem with not using the interesting female characters they already have, not some "anti-woman" problem. Which to some people, that'd just be semantics.

Scarlet Witch has barely gotten, what, 30 minutes of development across her three film appearances. Wasp is getting there. Black Widow's had decent development, but far from comic levels of interesting.

But then, we can easily use Hawkeye, Falcon, and War Machine as contrasting examples on the other side of the aisle.

[raph27]

I think y'all are taking this "SJW political agenda" stuff too far. Sure, stuff might be said in interviews, and of course, your typical movie news sites will take the smallest thread and try to spin a giant story out of it, but nothing about the film's actual marketing (trailers, TV spots, etc.) says "blunt pandering to women" to me. I am excited about this film. Why?

- it's the bridge between Infinity War and Endgame

- I think the 90s setting is fun if not pushed on too hard. It'll be fun to see another MCU movie not set in modern day.

- Building off that point, all the stuff about SHIELD becoming the agency we met in Phase One sounds great to me, especially young Nick Fury.

- Carol Danvers was one of the few superheroes I wasn't introduced to by movies, having read her origin run from a while back. It's exciting to finally see her come to life on screen.

- Expansion of the Kree backstory from the bits and pieces in the first Guardians movie piques my curiosity.

- I'm interested in the split up backstory plot that the trailers seem to be showing. I liked those bits in Aquaman and hope they're even better here.

Now if that makes me a Disney shill, or a raging feminazi, or some political warrior, I don't care. People are excited for the first of twenty-one MCU films to have a female lead. I'm not going to get all up in arms about that. I'm just looking forward to a superhero movie that looks interesting and continues a franchise I enjoy, as is usually the plan.

I'm mostly insulted by her wearing a NIN shirt as if it's genuine. Anybody who was alive in the early 1990s can tell you that girls didn't listen to NIN, and the ones who did generally weren't as... Well-groomed, let's say, as she is. :lol:

That bit feels too try-hard. A Nirvana or even Green Day shirt would be acceptable. But they probably just grabbed the first shirt they saw at the Hipster Store. :trazz:

I wonder if she prefers Pretty Hate Machine or Downward Spiral

[Leo656]

Or her favorite song! :lol:

She'd say, "The 'F*ck You Like An Animal' one." Like everyone else who A. Doesn't know the title, and B. Never heard any other NIN songs. :lol:

That hair of hers is freshly shampooed AND conditioned - probably hot oiled, too - her clothes are clean, and she has ZERO visible track marks. This woman has never listened to NIN in her entire f*cking life. That's a shoot, brother.

[Papenbrook]

I don't usually talk about Marvel stuff, but I feel that I need to state this.

People are already review-bombing this film ..., even though it hasn't been released yet.

Like, I know that the vast majority of people don't like social justice politics, but come on. It's absurd. :roll:

[neatoman]

Technically you can't "review bomb" something on Rotten Tomatoes before the movie is out, the score shown is the interest meter. Although 67% negative votes of over 34000 is something to behold. I do find it funny however that the movie is literally coming out next week and there still aren't any official reviews out yet.

Anyway, I don't really pay much attention to Brie. I know she tried to defend A Wrinkle in Time by saying it only got bad reviews because it "wasn't made for 40 year old white male critics". While that doesn't exactly make her charming, it isn't that far off from something any other actor would say. What did tick me off more about her was her "response" to Stan Lee's death, posting an image of herself looking bored and disinterested. That really made her seem like a sarcastic bitch to me, it's the little things. But like I said, I don't pay much attention to her, all I know is what spills over.

[Leo656]

The movie's probably fine. People generally just really don't like the "You better LOVE this movie or else you're obviously a ___________!" nonsense. No surprise that some people would get really defensive about it.

The way they choose to express themselves is bizarre to me, but eh. I don't pretend to understand nerds.

Hold on there young SJW(Joking :P)........ Neatoman is right there aren't even reviews yet :lol:

Apparently this movie is receiving record lows for interest/rating (Not Review) on rotten tomatoes which is saying something. I highly doubt this movie will be as bad as this score indicates, but maybe Marvel put out a bad movie????? I agree with Neatoman that is is strange they are holding back reviews with the movie coming out in 10 days, makes me wonder if the movie is actually just bad. I am still going to go see it regardless.

That is really messed up that she would do that after Stan's passing.... :(

[Andrew NDB]

It's got freaking Coulson in a big role? A digitally de-aged Jackson in an also big role, all throughout (they've said as much)? A 90s vibe? Kree stuff? Possibly even stuff that will payoff in Agents of SHIELD, which I love?

I mean, I'm already sold. I've been sold. My thing is not so much that the marketing department with the SJW campaign is going to ruin my enjoyment of it or even stop me from going to see it... it's just... I'm surprised that they think they even need that angle. It's like even now, in 2019, they're nervous and unsure it can truly stand on its own as a film.

They shouldn't. Knock it off. It'll be fine. Stop annoying people.

[Leo656]

To be fair, convincing people at large that women are awesome and not terrible is a Sisyphean task.

[neatoman]

By the way, the "want to see score" is now down to 28%. It's kind of bizarre to see so many people voice their intention to not buy a movie ticket. I understand it here, knowing the context, it's just very unusual.

Anyway, I'm off to not buy a boat now. Then I'll have the same opportunity to fish far out at sea, which I don't intend to do. With that fish i could have prepared some sashimi and pasted som fresh wasabi I won't any access to in the forseeable future. Ah, the things I could do but won't, it's what isn't the best in life.

Man, people can be so immature. Even after one of the SHAZAM! actors told them to stop, they still insist on doing it. :(

I guess but even if we assume the dislikes are inflated 3 times due to sock accounts, you'd still end up with a rough 50% here.

People are weird. Like all the people on Facebook or whatever making it a point to post, "I have never watched an episode of Walking Dead!" Or "I have never seen Game of Thrones!"

Who cares?

[neatoman]

I wonder how the "Superhero Fatigue" crowd feels about this? If the low hype here is anything to go by, then Captain Marvel could be the first the first MCU movie to underperform since the Hulk.

A very easy way to feel special: just say you don't like / don't watch something popular and voila! :lol:

I have never watched either show, since I am not fan of fantasy and zombies, but I won't brag about it like it's some kind of big deal.

To be fair, convincing people at large that women are awesome and not terrible is a Sisyphean task.
:roll:

[Leo656]

You get permission to roll your eyes at me when you've seen half of what I seen, Junior.

My disdain for the so-called "fairer sex" is no secret and never has been. I assume you somehow missed it.

Individually, one or two are okay. Collectively, they're terrible.

[Prowler]

People are weird. Like all the people on Facebook or whatever making it a point to post, "I have never watched an episode of Walking Dead!" Or "I have never seen Game of Thrones!"

I have never seen either show either, but I've never even once thought of posting it as my FB status.

it's not like GoT doesn't seem interesting to me. I just never had the motivation to pick it up. And actually, I avoid mentioning in public I've never seen it, because some people will just be like "WTF WHY DON'T YOU WATCH GOT?! IT'S AWEEEEEESOME!" and make me feel like I need to justify myself or something.

I don't care about checking out Walking Dead at all, though, but then again I don't go around announcing it to the world either.

[Leo656]

To be fair, GoT and Walking Dead both seem kind of interesting, but I'm way too late to the party to jump into either one at this point, and as usual, the fans kind of turned me off a long time ago anyways.

They definitely don't seem bad, but they're not on my radar. I'd never waste my time going on FB and pestering people about it, though.

TWD seems to be about zombies, which isn't something I care much about. I dunno what's with everyone loving zombies lately. Anyway, TWD seems to also get a lot of criticism from fans, while GOT gets way less and is generally considered to be one of the all-time greatest shows ever. Plus, it's based on very highly regarded fantasy novels. So I might get on to the Song of ice & Fire books someday and check out the tv show. I don't care if I missed the boat. You can always watch or play stuff years after it comes out. it's not going anywhere.

I'm not up to date with TV and movies nowadays. Plus, a lot of tv shows have synopsis that don't seem very appealing to me. I might be being unfair, but if a show synopsis or premise doesn't interest me I'm just not gonna bother with it really. Especially since America Tv shows tend to milk the cow until it goes dry. I was once accused of being "close minded" for this, but I don't feel like siting through a bunch of 40-50 minutes episodes of a certain tv shows whose premise doesn't appeal to me at all just to see if it's good or not. I seriously don't. But sadly, some people out there seem to just check EVERYTHING out. You gotta prioritise.

I'd have no qualms on investing in a Netflix account, but in European countries Netflix doesn't have even half the content that it does in USA. To compare: US Netflix has 1157 tv shows and 4593 movies in it. Netflix Portugal has... 215 tv shows and 537 movies only. :lol:

[Leo656]

I'unno what's up with Zombies lately, either. It's funny, about 20 years ago George Carlin did a bit in his stand-up set where he was trying to disprove the existence of things like ghosts, spirits, angels, etc., by pointing out that you never see these things anymore, despite the fact that, according to scripture, they used to show up all the time. :lol: And to make the broader point he started talking about other fictional, supernatural characters, and at one point dramatically asked, "Where the F*CK are all the ZOMBIES?!" :lol: So now whenever a new piece of zombie fiction comes out, I quote him and laugh.

I actually have seen a little bit of Game of Thrones, because my wife is obsessed with it. I see a lot of people on FB talking about it, as well. From my perspective, the main audience seems to be horny housewives who are too "highbrow" to watch porn. I'm sure that's not the entire audience but it definitely seems to be the majority.

Well it's like that meme of miracles being very common ages ago, but since the camera was invented... miracles became practically inexistent. But then photoshop was invented and the number of miracles skyrocketed again. :lol:

Really, housewives? I know GOT has sex and nudity, but I mostly associate its fanbase with people under 35 years old. Men in particular. I do know some girls who watch it but they're generally the type of girls who grew up watching Harry Potter, TLotR, etc.Although GOT does seem to be a bit more popular with your average non-fantasy fan than stuff like TLotR is.

I kinda view GOT as being sorta like an R-rated version of TLotR. I could be wrong, but that's my first impression of it :trazz:

[Leo656]

I'm sure there's a very mixed audience but I can't speak to that. Going by FB and the people I hear talking about it at the gym, it SEEMS to mostly be watched by women, and the sex/rape scenes seem to be a huge draw. When I scroll Comments sections on articles about it, most of the people commenting are women, also (or claim to be).

I'm sure it's like the Spice Girls; there's probably a huge male audience for it but they're not the ones going around making noise about it for semi-obvious reasons. "Spartacus" was the big thing before GoT, and it was more or less the same thing: Cosplay Porn For Housewives.

Nothing wrong with that, but it's still kinda funny.

Well that's strange. I've never seen GOT as being a thing that's mostly liked by or aimed at women and that men are hesitant to admit they like. I guess there's some "hot guys" for them on the show, but so are some hot women, I assume? You make it almost sound like it's Sex and the City or Sailor Moon :lol:

I knew it had sex scenes, but rape ones? I think that'd bother me, honestly.

[Leo656]

I think the one chick was walking around naked for most of the first season or so, but I don't remember. Again, my wife watches it, I mostly just read and glance up occasionally. Not a big TV guy anymore.

Oh, yeah, it's an extremely rapey show, but then as I understand it the books are even worse. Much of what articles I've read have been discussing about whether this or that in the show or books is "appropriate" or presented well enough given the subject matter. Like one chick gets raped by her brother next to the corpse of their dead son, there were like a million articles about that.

It's apparently all about warring political factions, rape/incest, ice zombies, and a chick giving birth to some dragons. And then she banged her nephew and they're gonna unite the houses and save the world from the ice zombies, or something. I truly don't know much beyond that.

It all seems very silly to me, but again, this is just based on the very limited amount of it that I've been exposed to. I won't knock anyone for liking it - if nothing else it looks Very Expensive and the cast is attractive - but I think it would exhaust me. When it was new she had me watch the first two episodes and that was about all I had patience for. Which again, isn't really about the show itself; I can't really watch TV anymore, it's too passive. I only ever have it on as background noise while I'm reading or something.

Again, I'm sure someone else could tell you more, but those are the broad strokes as I understand them. And I honestly can't remember personally witnessing any guys talk about it in real life, just women. I know men watch it but I can only call what I see, y'know? I just always chuckle because most women are extremely quick to demonize porn, and the people who watch it, but they're alright with this stuff. :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

I knew it had sex scenes, but rape ones? I think that'd bother me, honestly.

I can't think of any real rape scenes in GOT... There's that one early on with Momoa and Emilia Clarke... but Clarke's character ends up liking it and decides to up her sex game.

There was a scene a season or two ago with Cersei and you-know-who that people said was a rape scene, but TPTB said it wasn't.

[Leo656]

Maybe I'm confused, then. Perhaps what I'm thinking of is that the books were more rapey than the show and the show simply fudged things a bit to get past the censors or something.

Like just last week I read an article about things that were changed from the books to the show, and apparently after Day One in the books Mamoa's character just raped her nightly until he later got killed off. So I'm not shocked that they changed all of that.

I often wonder what the hell fantasy writers have against women. I know what *I* have against them, but I'm not out here writing stories for profit about rape and incest and making TV shows about them. :trazz:

Maybe they don't want to post spoilers.

While that doesn't exactly make her charming, it isn't that far off from something any other actor would say.


To be fair, Wrinkle was getting some unnecessary criticism.

[Krutch]

[Andrew NDB]

Oh yeah, true.

Well sh**, only one actual rape in 8 seasons of a show where/when that'd be going on left and right? That's not bad. Plus he got eaten by dogs.

[Xav]

This is hilarious are they really that scared of this movie getting bad press?

Rotten Tomatoes Removes 'Captain Marvel' Anticipation Score in Response to Trolls (https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/02/26/captain-marvel-rotten-tomatoes-anticipation-ranking-removed/)

[Leo656]

This is all just theater. It's absolutely going to do better than Wonder Woman. It has everything that movie had insofar as being an "important" movie, PLUS a "Marvel" sticker on it.

I don't think it'll be bad, but even if it was, it really wouldn't matter. There's an automatic guaranteed return on these things. Even the "Ant-Man" movies made a good chunk of change, despite "Ant-Man" being right there in the title.

I don't plan to see it, but anyone expecting it to fail, or even be bad, is being silly. Marvel films generally aren't for me but it's not like they're incompetently made. They're entirely Populist Crowd-Pleasers designed in a focus group to achieve maximum impact across all demographics, and they succeed in that, every time out.

Like "Black Panther", I expect that they've gone the extra mile to insulate the project from any and all criticism, but that even without that it will do fine.

[neatoman]

Rotten Tomatoes just updated the entire site to remove the "not interested button". Before this happened the interest in the movie dropped to 27%, it did slow down but only because it reached so many votes that new ones didn't even make a difference in terms of percent.

[Vegita-San]

that is just beyond pathetically sad on RT's part.

[AT-Man]

Got tickets for the first screening in my town in March 6th. It's on 2D, so I'll likely go see it again later in 3D. Happy times! https://cdn.betterttv.net/emote/5a6edb51f730010d194bdd46/2x

[neatoman]

that is just beyond pathetically sad on RT's part.

The funny thing too is that this might be the only legitimate time where a massive amount of people just went ahead downvoted a movie like this. I remember similar reports about people intending to do the same thing with the new Ghostbusters, the Last Jedi and Black Panther, but that did not actually happened in those cases. Ghostbusters had 92% interested ten days before release (thank you way back machine), Last Jedi 99% and Black Panther 97%. To be fair, Ghostbusters and Last Jedi did actually end up having low audience review scores but it's not exactly hard to find negative opinions of those movies outside Rotten Tomatoes.

Again, I doubt it would have mattered much wheter or not RT removed certain features so abruptly. It is still uniquely fascinating.

People really need to get a hold of themselves. It's not gonna flop, or even underperform, just because y'all want it to.

So stop trying to downgrade and ruin it. In other words, don't spoil it for others.

I'm gonna see it regardless. I think Rotten Tomatoes is doing the right thing. a lot of the times and not just with Captain Marvel but other movies. There are fake reviews or posts. and its usually by trolls. There's no way of knowing what is real and what isn't.

Some are arguing that they are silencing the critics. But in reality. They are trying to remove the fake reviews which are usually from trolls who are review bombing. and you see that almost everywhere.

The movie is not going to suffer because of this. Rotten Tomatoes isn't really relevant any more. Most of that stuff come from people who are members in that site. and not the average moviegoer. I doubt they go to Rotten Tomatoes for anything.

Some people are overeacting over comments from Brie Larson. Which are completely taken out of context.

This is over supposed comments that she said. That she hates white males. Which isn't true. People see that. and then lose there **** over comments taken out of context.

Why am I not surprise by this comment. Lots of the stuff being spread around about Brie Larson are a bunch of lies.

[AquaParade]

I do want to see Captain Marvel.

Brie Larson sure is coming off as ignorant though. I don't think she knows what she is talking about. She has a big microphone, lots of attention, and a desire to make a difference. She isn't going about it the right way though. You can see that she is stirring up a big ****-storm online, and not in a good way. It's not a positive discussion she is leading, it's toxic. It's entrenching people further in their views, not leading to a healthy open-discussion.

You need to know how to get your point across without throwing a bunch of fuel on the fire.

Papenbrook you sound extremely paranoid :lol:

All bc people don't think a movie will do well does not mean they purposely want it to fail. But then again I have been wrong before and I know how crazy current and past members can get.

I am mostly in the dark about this movie, I have not been following the movie or Brie Larson too closely. I have seen the trailers and it doesn't look like a good movie imo.

This movie is either going to do really well bc of the ties and implications it will have for Avengers infinity war part 2 or it is going to bomb bc it is genuinely a bad movie, Captain Marvel to my knowledge does not have the fan base to prop up a bad movie like Spider-man, Batman, TMNT ect......

Basically we will have to wait and see.
