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.

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.

Yep. The Wizard is Shazam. Everything else is WB rolling over.

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.

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.

I love love love how she looks with the helmet on.

*ranger_scout* · 12-04-2018, 10:22 PM

I thought the trailer looked awesome. This looks like another epic chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Disney may have accidentally slipped. That Jude Law is Mar-Vell. According to the official Captain Marvel Site.

Was that a secret? I'm sure that it's been common knowledge for a while the Jude Law was playing the Original Captain Marvel.

Marvel has been trying to keep this all a secret. That even Jude Law couldn't say who he was playing.

After watching this I am more excited for the movie. Those first 2 trailers were terrible

*ZariusTwo* · 01-08-2019, 03:35 AM

I concur, that looked better. Brie is still a personality vacuum though.

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.

Another TV Spot showing the same old ****.

Shots of her as young girl to a woman told she can't do anything cause she is a woman blah blah never give up blah blah

*Autbot_Benz* · 02-11-2019, 09:44 PM

This might be the first Phase 3 movie I skip. Nothing interests me at all and I can't stand Brie Larson. Might go see Shazam instead

~~Leo656~~ · 02-11-2019, 10:04 PM

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.

fellow raging misogynist too brother

though Wonder Woman was better and didn't need to use girl power to sell it

~~Leo656~~ · 02-11-2019, 10:40 PM

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* · 02-11-2019, 10:48 PM

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

*Autbot_Benz* · 02-13-2019, 02:10 PM

Spoiler:
