Hey people, claim down. Captain Marvel (able to blast energy from hands, fly, doesn’t need oxygen, godly strength) will lead
- A blind guy that knows fancy fighting,
- A deaf girl that knows fancy fighting,

- A immortal white guy that knows fancy fight with a sharp stick and guns,
- A guy with sharp sticks out of his hands
- A family that gets big and small,

What do you mean uneven?

Fucking Superman, MCU Superman.
Hulk was mostly accepted due to comedy and Mark Ruffalo. He’s another Paul Rudd type person.
Marvel as the lead can’t be the clown. Ruffalo can’t fix the suit. It would take to long for a new one.
I want a three tier system with adult, dark, and kids MCU. You can do a combo massive team up every 10 yrs or so. Team ups can be FF style (dumb and explosions) or John Wick style (high and long action).
Counterpoint: Thor. He blasted lightning out of his hammer, flew, didn’t require oxygen, and had godly strength. He was placed alongside: A guy who can fly in a metal suit. A guy without a jetpack who throws a shield A guy who gets big and angry A regular guy with a bow and arrow A regular chick with a gun
At the time of this team up, Thor was still a cocky jock who had about as much character development as Captain Marvel has had to this point. But no one was concerned about Thor ruining the MCU.
Why is Captain Marvel different?
Yes people hate Brie bc she’s a women or she appears to be a bitch. Will I say she is my favorite actor, no. Better then Joe McHale or Aziz Ansari. However, she does a great job with Captain Marvel.
DC had the same issue that the MCU is running into. The lead shouldn’t be your god killer. Maybe they do a “with all this power I failed bc I didn’t play to everyone’s strengths,” story.
If Hulk or Thor lead, it would be the same issue. The eternals failed for the same reason. “We have a fast girl, a guy that has finger guns, and someone that kills a literal god.” It felt empty and pointless from the other members view point. Imagine Hawkeye getting killed by a bullet with the Hulk, Sentry, and Dr. Strange standing next to him. You would question why he’s there.
A girl that can fly in a metal suit, A guy that can fly in a metal suit.
Which ones are those?
Iron heart and war machine
Thanks
Is it me or does Brie Larson have this constant look on here face where she feels she’s better than everyone and is constantly judging everyone for that?
I think that’s a you thing, not a her thing…
Ehh well, that’s why I asked
Edit: the hell are the downvotes for? I’m being serious
There’s a lot of hate around captain marvel as the “woke hero” so I think people are suspicious of anyone criticizing her in the role
Idgaf about that. Just that the actor seems a bit smug. Or at least rocking an RBF
The character is a bit smug, but in a playful way. Personally, that’s one of my favorite things about her.
Well I hope they do something because in Captain marvel she just seemed seriously constantly upset and unhappy and it turned me off from her character.
It was probably a bad script or maybe the actress did not do a deep enough dive into the character to bring out some sort of playful light-heartedness, but I find it difficult to relate to her when her whole character is “I’m angry at everything because sexism”.
Maybe I’m just not her target audience.
It’s not just you. Not everyone can project empathy and relatability.
I mean, I’ve been told I have a constant RBF, and I’m also a 220 lbs bearded combat vet that uses the “1000 yard stare” so people will get out of my way. I’ve been told I terrify people sometimes. I can’t judge her too harshly on her facial expressions, but in a lot of the things I’ve seen that she’s in, there’s this gnawing feeling that she’s pissed off because she’s above whatever she’s doing. Her early career with things like Community and Scott Pilgrim, I didn’t feel that way, but since Captain Marvel, there was a shift. Does that make sense?
Yeah, but it’s not your job to project your character’s personality to an audience., so it’s ok to have RBF. I’m not familiar with Larson’s work before Marvel, but it seems like if that IS your job, you should be able to do it in spite of bad writing, bad directing, etc. Ewan McGregor, for example, projected his way through much, much worse dialogue and crude CGI/green screening requirements in the Star Wars prequels. He had to act alone, on an empty soundstage, with a tennis ball tied to a stick. The tennis ball had a mark on it to show where your eye line was supposed to be. You’re supposed to be Obi Wan Kenobi…to a stick. If he can do that, I’m not cutting Larson any slack 20 years later.
Yeah, I get that vibe a bit. In any case, Captain Marvel is utterly uninteresting to me. Like you, I’m not 100% sure why, but I don’t care about her problems or adventures.
I hope they get decent weiters and good villains.
Neat. I think Brie can carry an avengers film, given a decent script.
“The Marvels” was a big improvement from “Captain Marvel”.
The uphill battle here is that it doesn’t feel like Marvel has ever really settled on what the Marvels are all about. Kamala Khan has been the first Captain Marvel that really resonated, but it still feels (both in comics and movies) like they’re figuring it out as they go.
And I can’t express how glad I am not to have seen “Mar-Vell” in the MCU, and how much I hope we never will. Each story I have read with a “Mar-Vell” appearance was weaker due to their presence.
Though that one time that
Thunderbolts Spoiler for Atlas
Atlas just up and kills Mar-Vell was actually pretty satisfying.
I wish this obsession with superhero movies would finally end. It’s been going on for what, more than ten years now? And it’s always the same, some bad guy wants to destroy the world (or the universe or the multiverse), then an excessive amount of cgi action happens and finally the good guys win.
Why not make some original movies with new stories, instead of rehashing the same old slop over and over again?
More than ten years? Well… Yeah, technically we could say that I guess…
The first Ironman was released in 2008…
Time for your nap, old man.
I don’t even mind the concept, but the execution is painful.
I don’t care for Brie Larson.
And I think Captain Marvel is a boring concept, wish they wouldn’t use that character as a focus.
I don’t understand the hate. I like her & Nova & Ms Marvel.
I don’t think hate is warranted, but the movie presented a back story about as interesting as Tom Holland’s spider man movie did.
That, in combination with them being rather smug feel a bit like they were just an insert of the sake of some marketing department. Similar to the science department in black panther being just one person
…but why?
