Same thing if the rumors are true in the sequel, that movie will do well, but not cause of you Larson, it would be cause of Rogue and X-Men hints.

I didn't see the first one - I kinda never cared about "Captain Copyright Loophole" (Captain Marvel is the guy in the red suit with the lightning bolt, and I'll go to my goddamn grave saying so) - but I think you're right on with this. I never hear anyone talking about that movie, and barely heard anyone talking about the movie when it came out, even - just people talking about Brie Larson and how she behaved in interviews, but NOT the movie itself- and I completely feel that its box office was greatly enhanced by being the last pre-Endgame movie.
Maybe it was good, maybe it wasn't, I don't know, BUT, my gut tells me it only hit that gross because it was positioned correctly for maximum impact. And I think if the X-Men characters rumor turns out to be true, it'll be another case in point.
I get why they need to "protect" that character, since they need their own Wonder Woman/"Strong Feminist Icon who can also pack in a crowd", but it felt a lot more organic with Wonder Woman than it did with that movie/character. It's like Hulk Hogan's totally organic rise in popularity between 1980-1984, versus Ultimate Warrior's completely manufactured rise between 1988-1990. Hogan got over because people liked him, Warrior got over because people were TOLD to like him. Kinda the same thing.
