I was wondering how you were able to see it a couple of days early. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see any of that in the movie. It felt like whether Captain Marvel was a woman or man it wouldn't have mattered. So it wasn't some propaganda driven bull hockey like Black Panther? Nice....

kingseanjohn Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Without giving any spoilers, is this something that should be seen before End Game? @PapaShogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie just fills in a lot of the blanks of the end results we already knew. There is only one key connection to Endgame, and that is at the first post credits scene. I get the feeling that same scene will be in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the movie, solid B+ movie. larson was pretty ood, i thought a few scene with fury were a bit wooden. The action at the end got a bit over the top I thought, but it was great until the end.

I think it was deliberately femist when compared to other super hero movies, but not in a negative or preachy way. Strong female leads with three charterers in the movie.

And that would be the introduction of SWORD. Because if its just Captain Marvel showing up to take down Thanos, its really anticlimactic. BUT, if the distress call is not just to her, but to the entire SWORD agency to come and save them, that is a much more believable and satisfying. That Fury has been a special attachment to them, and was only going to call for a global situation that couldnt be handled by the Avengers, which then opens up Phase 4 top the Cosmic side, without having to commit to the Fantastic 4 just yet. If we could get references to BetaRay Bill, Nova and others along side Captain Marvel to sake out Thanos, that would be the reveal to reinvigorate me to another full phase. (the Guardians could even be folded in as their tactical extraction team, all they are really good at is stealing stuff) I think they ae better than that. If Marvel kills Thanos im cool with it, as long as it is an alley-oop, not a well i am here to kick the piss out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I liked it a lot. I feel like the best way to gauge MCU movies now is to just slide into your personal rankings so here I go: 1. Civil War 2. Infinty War 3. Winter Soldier 4. Ragnorok 5. Avengers 6. Guardians of the Galaxy 7. Captain Marvel 8. Iron Man 9. Black Panther 10.

Mox Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I enjoyed it. The villain is a total nothing burger but Larson is great. Her banter is top notch and her back and forth with Fury was great. Pretty damn disappointed there was no reference to secret invasion at all. Post credit scene and scenes that happened back then but tie into now were all good. My roommate has this as a top 5 Marvel movie, I'm thinking much lower than that but still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Overall a good movie, it’s what Marvel does these days. But they went for some big emotional swings, but I don’t feel like they really earned most (or maybe even any) of them, which made some of those feel flat at times. Honestly if anything, it made me exited about what they might do with Monica Rambeau now that she’s aged 20+ years Im not sure I came out of this movie believing that Captain Marvel is the most powerful hero in the MCU...? And are we just retconning the Tesseract now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kidding right? I came out hyped as hell for Endgame cuz she's the reason for the title. She IS the Endgame. Straight up my favorite MCU hero. The mid-credit scene got me hyped as all hell. It's like bringing Barry Bonds up looking for a HR swat and knowing you're gonna get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't really care either way but most of the fans who get off on feats have done the research and say she's still behind Thor and on par with IW Iron Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes very strong, shes a badass fighter, but I saw her throw how many photon blasts? and just about every person got back up from them? And Im supposed to equate that to being able to take on Thanos with an Infinity Gauntlet? Maybe thats the effect of a decade of these MCU films, but I have seen Thor and Star Lord and Vision do many of the same feats, if not more impressive ones inside of the MCU. For as much as the Russo's talked her up, she did not live up to that. 9 hours ago, Deadpulse said: How is it being retconned? Everything we knew was that Howard Stark found it when he was looking for Cap, and now it was missing from their custody for the better part of a Decade and no one knew about it?

Yeah the emotional swings they took really fell flat for me - but I'm a guy so maybe that's part of it. I thought they tried too hard at times to hammer the social messages in and make them BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. But I also came away from this movie wondering how she's the most powerful hero in the MCU. Half of the movie was her falling over herself trying to do photon blasts, and people getting back up from it. 10 minutes ago, StLunatic88 said: Sorry, nothing I saw her do WOWED me.
