Brie Larson the frontrunner for Captain Marvel - Page 23

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 03-06-2019, 09:36 AM

The funny thing is, my wife doesn't want to see this one but I do. (Because the MCU movies are Pokemon, and I gotta see them all.)

So I'm going with the guys instead this Sunday night. I'll post my thoughts after the fact.

I'll prob wait for Endgame then and just grab this later on when it eventually hits sky tv.

I'm going to see it, I've got nothing better to do on a Friday, I always watch these movies so I have an informed opinion, regardless if I like it or not. You shouldn't dislike something you haven't had experience tasting.

If I'm lucky, it'll be Iron Man 2 level underrated at best.

Iron Man 2 at best, Iron Man 3 at worst?

.

It's not a matter of disliking for me, I just haven't felt like racing to see it either. I like a lot of these movies and have gone to watch them when they come out but I've missed a couple too.

And just gonna leave this here...

Man The Blu Ray Forums are not having any "political BS" aka anti Captain Marvel Talk. I just got banned for next week because I told a fellow person who wasn't excited for Captain Marvel that if he didn't like it when he saw it. he would be a misogynistic white male troll who should be locked in a dungeon

*ZariusTwo* · 03-06-2019, 03:19 PM

Stuckman didn't even like it

STUCKMAN.

How long until they give Black Nerd an envelope and he tells us how the movie is the best thing ever?

*neatoman* · 03-06-2019, 03:58 PM

I forgot to mention this earlier but there is a rather weird line about the United States air force in the movie. Carol's old friend claims the reason Carol was a test pilot is because women weren't allowed to have combat positions in the air force in 1989, so therefore testing new craft was the only thing they were allowed to do that was "impressive".

I had to check on Wikipedia to see if that was true because it sounded strange.

It's partially true according to Wikipedia. Women had been allowed in the Air Force since 1948 and were given equal status in 1976. They did serve as pilots in 1986 on tanker planes, though for some reason they weren't allowed to be in combat until 1993.

So the line is technically true (depending on your definition of "impressive") but somewhat misleading.

You got people now demanding the removal of all movie critics on youtube if they don't have a degree in film or something.

Anyone that doesn't tow the social justice line, for certain.

Jesus... you guys gotta read the comments section of this video. And look at the likes vs. dislikes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTPhWGtr4vQ

"My wife's boyfriend recommends this movie."

"After watching this, I think I made a mistake booking the tickets early."

"She seems like someone who's always going to ask for the manager."

"Disney: Ok Brie we need some damage control. Go be friendly.
Brie: Does not compute."

"She is the complete opposite of likeable, funny, and witty."

"Not sure how someone can come across so unlikeable in an interview that was meant to make them more likable and relatable."

lol...

The more I think about it, the more I realise how this movie feels like a step backwards. It's kind of like if Man of Steel impregnated the first Thor, then the baby was raised by the first Ghost Rider and had Spider-Man 3 as a teacher.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-07-2019, 01:09 PM

I'm just completely baffled by the response (having not seen the movie itself). I really figured this would be one of those "bulletproof" ones. I never expected that the first MCU film to get a middling critical response would be "Finally, Someone With A Vagina: The Super-Hero Movie". I mean "Black Panther" got the cover of TIME Magazine; I figured this one would get a parade.

People are saying this one is "Meh", but a lot of them have been "Meh" and this one is just the first time a bunch of people all noticed at once. Wonder why now and not before? It's weird.

I still predict huge bank, though. The reviews are a bit embarrassing but it won't stop anyone from going to see it. A lot of people are like CKD and they just go see these things ritualistically at this point.

That bit never gets old.

Also: The jokes people are making about Brie Larson's butt double are very mean and very funny.
