This is how Captain Marvel is going to defeat Thanos.

All of the Avengers are dummy thicc and when they sneak their ass cheeks claps, alerting everyone. CM will be able to sneak right up on Purple Chin and choke him out.

WHOOOOOO, that took foreeeeeeeeever, guys.

Anyways, in the interest of fairness, I liked Brie alright in "Kong: Skull Island". However, working in her favor was the fact that 1. The role didn't ask a whole lot of her, and 2. Tank Top.

Right now she's playing a character I don't care about, in a movie I don't care about, in a series I generally care little for. So all I'm left with to comment on are her looks and her generally-salty attitude. Her looks are alright by me, but the few clips I've seen of her interviews don't make her seem like anyone I'd wanna sit and have coffee with.

I still say this movie's going to do much better than okay, and all this hoopla is just people getting a bunch of stuff out of their system. I agree, the marketing is questionable, but anyone expecting it to under-perform are underestimating the Marvel Machine. Unless anyone seriously expects it to make $2 billion, in which case, they might wanna curb their enthusiasm a bit.

What was there to even like of her in that movie!?

Seriously, man, I don't remember the tank top being that good. She was just "eh". "I'm gonna photograph all this and wear a baseball cap."

I think she wore a baseball cap? Man, who else was even in that movie?

John Goodman, Samuel Motherfvcking Jackson, John C. Reilly. Was anyone else in it? Besides Captain Marvel, self-appointed goddess-queen of the MCU?

*Candy Kappa* · 03-04-2019, 04:14 PM

I do not remember her in Skull Island...

*Andrew NDB* · 03-04-2019, 04:16 PM

For some reason I do remember her at the end of Skull Island, where she's in that room and they're talking about other monsters... but I don't remember even one thing she did during the core of the movie itself.

An ad for the movie came up in my FB feed, so just for fun I decided to look at the comments. YIKES!

Almost every comment was in the vein of, "I'll just take my toxic masculinity and stay home, thanks", with the others taking them to task for not being more excited. It's like "Answer The Call" all over again. And those are the comments that have been allowed to stay up!

That got me thinking, though - and feel free to call this a "conspiracy theory" - but you remember how with "Answer The Call", Sony went out of their way to delete all the "regular" complaints about the movie - stuff like "I'm just not interested", "It just doesn't look funny," etc., and leave up all the Toxic Man-Rage comments, so as to insulate themselves and their film from any and all criticism, and create the narrative that EVERY single person who wasn't excited was a "hater" or "manchild"? Could this be a case of history repeating? Do you think Disney is "pruning" the comments on social media so they can mold the larger story to their liking, the way they did with "The Last Jedi"? I wouldn't put it past them.

It just jumped out at me because I really don't think there's THAT much hate against this film, NOR do I think all of the people saying they're going to skip it actually will. I fully expect 8 out of every 10 "I'm staying home" nerds to be there opening weekend. But going ONLY by what I see on social media, there seems to be a lot of anger and resentment and little else. Which is weird. That's why I think Disney is trying to craft their own narrative out of it.

As I've said before, if people paid good money - and lots of it - to see TWO Ant-Man flicks, then this movie has absolutely nothing to worry about. But the chatter surrounding it is... interesting.

They still might wanna put a "gag order" on Brie, though... just to be safe.

For me its looks really boring and that Brie needs to shut her ****ing mouth on Press Junkets unless its about the movie

~~Vegita-San~~ · 03-04-2019, 06:22 PM

there is no doubt about it.

it's disney's turn to take a call letter from the page of paul feig and amy pascal.

they don't care that even with one movie under her belt, captain marvel has not EARNED the right to defeat thanos in the last 5 minutes of a movie. this is their 'girl power' glass ceiling, progressive bullet point movie. and to hell with everything else.

Brie gets to say everything they wish they could, in public. and if it fails, she gets to take the fall while protecting her bosses.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-04-2019, 06:33 PM

I simply haven't been bothered to drop a dime on any of their movies since "Age Of Ultron". Once upon a time, I was mildly curious for Thanos, but once I found out that they weren't even going to try telling the story correctly I checked out entirely. Plus the 100-year build over 87 movies was exhausting.

So that's why I'm personally not invested, but I'm surprised at the current chatter. I figured everyone would be doing cartwheels for this, same as Black Panther.

Do we really KNOW that she's gonna just pop in and wreck house at the end of the Avengers flick? Granted, it sure seems that way, and I agree, that's kinda lame if true, but has that been confirmed or are we just going by what it looks like might happen?

I don't know. I feel compelled to speak up and say that some people just don't care because We Don't Care, NOT because it's a chick-led super-hero flick. Like, I might be persuaded to go see a She-Hulk movie, for instance, depending on various things. And I like Wonder Woman more than most people seem to. So my personal hang-up isn't about "Grrl Power" or even Brie being who she is; I simply wasn't interested when they announced this a few years ago and I'm still not interested. That should be allowed, I think.

Either way, I predict... let's say $1.2 billion.

This is part of what has me resenting the movie and the character to begin with. Mainly because Feige went to several comic cons and has let the fans know that she will be the new face of Marvel after Robert Downey Jr leaves the franchise, and I'm with you, she has not earned that throne! ONly thing she is good for is Rogue fodder when she comes into the picture.

Nines, if there were a like button, I would've liked your post. Just letting you know that.

By the way, Rotten Tomatoes have finally counted a review. It qualifies as rotten.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cap...arvel/reviews/
https://www.timeout.com/us/film/captain-marvel

Joshua Rothkopf's opinion basically boils down to this:

Carol Danvers is not a good or likeable character.
Brie is not good in the role.
None of the other characters are that great either.
The movie seems to rely more on 90's nostalgia and references to the other movies than it's own narrative.

I'm still going to watch this movie tomorrow but judging from this and some other opinions I've seen, I get the feeling we have another Hulk, Iron Man 3 or Thor 2 on our hands here.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 03-05-2019, 06:30 AM

there was an interesting article I Saw, that showed that maybe the powers that be over at Marvel Studios MIGHT be ashamed of this movie.

they seem to think that it's being quietly promoted and the promotions are being buried where they might not get noticed.

which kind of leaves me to believe this is DISNEY's girl power movie, and Marvel proper wants nothing to do with it, as they seem to be the last classic story tellers left in hollywood that know how to do fun, entertaining movies like they used to be done.

I remember the days when movies were for everyone to enjoy. Simpler times, those days...

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go see a movie made for white-collar suburban Caucasian dads who always wear flip-flops and drink coconut rum.

Unless they’re actually in an Avengers movie, not interested in what a single man thinks about Captain Marvel. Not a single ****ing one!
