Just seen it. Standard marvel stuff with the same formula, a few decent jokes and a pretty rubbish villain. Falls in line with pretty much every other marvel movie, though it does get pretty tiresome after the 15th time. Only real dissapointment was having a pretty underwhelming soundtrack despite having the first half of the 90s at your disposal.
Film Captain Marvel

That is dumb.
I mean why are you avoiding the fact that Wonderwoman, people had no issues with her being strong? Same as Tomb Raider, Alita, list goes on.
The issue is these characters are like a massive deus ex machina coming out from nowhere.
Rey taking the spot and disrespecting Luke, Captain Marvel stupidly the main avenger.
That's the issue.
Same. I was pleasantly surprised when that one started.
Good shout also on Jude Law. This is the only film I've seen him in aside from Spy where he's hasn't irritated me.
Nonsense. I liked the movie and I still think it was dumb to make her this powerful. It feels not really balanced compared to rest of the cast. Feels like she can take on Thanos on her own and the rest of Avengers are not really necessary.
Yeah, you really aren't as "woke" as you think you are mate.
I agree with most of this. Larson comes across as arrogant rather than cheeky though, that's the only thing I really didn't like, but Sammy L and Goose saved the day
omg leave daddy alone
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, hello ignore button! We got one!
You seem rather happy to put someone on ignore.
To be fair, ignore is one of the best features on this site.
In the football forums I'd agree. Oh my lord, do I agree!
However, I do find it childish, especially if you are directly going against a pov. It's such a kid putting their fingers in their ear move

But to ignore after reading their fandom being insulted is just...childish?

Same thing with all forums for me, it's particularly useful in the current events forum. Some people even when presented with facts will never change their opinion as they're stubborn arseholes and dont want to admit to being wrong. Instead they double down their opinion. Those are people that i'd never get along with so best to phase them out so I can enjoy reading the forum. It's a bit like being at school and having the option of deleting bullies from your life.
True, but what if you didn't bother to try to engage them in the first place? Is that still okay, or your own version of the doubling down?
I don't bother interacting, if I read a post and I roll my eyes and then read another post and roll my eyes again then they're on my official "should probably ignore" list. I just don't have the patience to attempt to discuss an issue with people that so clearly won't change their mind. As I say, reading this forum for me is about enjoyment, not getting involved in debates with people who I will never see eye to eye with.
Okay then, but if you are unwilling to engage them, then surely their beliefs shouldn't matter?
Each to their own mate, I have no problem with your reasoning. Personally though, I like to at least see what's going on otherwise we get hoodwinked rather quickly as the recent world kind of shows
She has had 7 reboots or something like that. Her powers shouldn't be a issue.
I think the character is fine. I think the movie should have been done in phase one. Putting it out now feels forced, but that's more of a timing thing with endgame being around the corner.
The meltdowns in this thread. I do find it funny that when people dont like things, they go out of their way to ensure nobody else likes it or to say why somebody is dumb for not liking it.And likewise the other way, if somebody doesnt like something, they dont have to.
but that bit where people are called names is just too funny.
Thor can now take on Thanos on his own, as he showed when he should have gone for the head. In fact within the space of 2 hours of getting absolutely decimated by Thanos, to managing to be blasted by the sun, to getting a new weapon, he managed to over power Thanos (who had every stone by that point).
Red Letter Media review is up. They are usually more entertaining than the actual films.
In fairness he might just want to avoid seeing the posts if he knows he'll strongly disagree with them and doesn't want to engage with the poster at all. If it makes the Caf experience more enjoyable for him then who are we to argue? Also I suppose when you're talking about a Marvel movie it's a bit different to the actual discussions that go on in the CE.Okay then, but if you are unwilling to engage them, then surely their beliefs shouldn't matter?

I mean I've never put anyone on ignore because I enjoy getting pissed off far too much for my own good but I guess normal people prefer to use the ignore function
Not that it'd be a plothole anyway, but he trusted the cat. Which works regarding the Captain America quote surely?
Her origin story is as sensible as most of the other characters in these films, or do you consider imbued with Asgardian divine strength to be well established?
Also, Brie Larson has never tweeted anything remotely comparable to Gunn (who nonetheless was harshly treated I feel).
I'm also not sure what similarities the character has to Rey other than having a vagina and being the lead in a sci fi/fantasy movie.

Is this me?
I think I was talking about RedSky ignoring that meamth fella but I'm so tired I don't know any more. Maybe it is youIs this me?

Eh? I've ignored nobody in this thread, just explaining why I like the ignore feature.
Their made-up magic powers aren't realistic enough, unlike the made-up magic powers of boy heroes.
Nope, that's not it. It's the fact there's no journey, development or tribulation (equivalent to what we see male characters go through) before they can magically do any and everything in record-breakingly short time.
Develop the characters properly then you can give them whatever power. Cutting that development to a quarter or a fifth and it's implausible, even in the made up worlds they inhabit.
Thinking about these things make them more enjoyable than just taking it in, bad or not, and moving on. Even if they are superhero films, it doesn't mean they can't be cohesive and well written or take you on a journey that leaves an impression, which is why, as you've done yourself, we can tier these films and say what's dire, average or good.
I don't really get why people feel talking these films down has any merit when they, like everyone else, invests time and money in watching them.
I've stated multiple times in the past, that some of these films are definitely cinematic experiences that don't stand up without the spectacle, or certainly won't leave the same impression on you if you look at them objectively without the razzmatazz and over stimulation you can get at the cinema, but I would always hope to see films where the writers and directors have tried to provide both the former and the latter. I also think, on the whole, these MCU films are improving so you do hope that trend continues across franchises.
To
1. That's easy - she's on the 'other side of the universe/galaxy' and preoccupied with some other villain with comms to her either not working or being interfered with by some other big, old meany. Hell, they could even have her going through her own tribulations as an inferior fighting for her own life etc.
2. Ties in with 1. you definitely don't want her introduced too late, unless Thanos 'Hulks' her, and we're instead dosed with more girlpower, it's going to be extremely anti-climatic a finale to literal decades of hard work and construct.
Your bolded really is glossing over all the gripes I and others in here have stated in saying the film barely does any of that and makes her seem detached and, effectively a trump card pulled out of nowhere (her film coming far too late) they missed a huge opportunity to insert the character, who is clearly integral, in a more seamless and agreeable way.
I feel exposition for extremely powerful characters is multiples more important than it is for lesser ones and by comparison, they were painstaking in slowly upping Thor's power before having him max out, finally, in his third film (onward), and look at what they've done with Hulk!
As I said in my earlier post, Superman has the same issues and it's why they're in a corner with him until the Darkseid's and Doomsday's enter the fray, even then, Superman is a multi-layered character compared to what they've offered up with Captain Marvel in this film.
I'm not going to call it a bad film, but at the same time, they've missed a trick, or several, with the way it has been written and that won't be rectified in End Game unless she's put through the mill and isn't just an easy saves the day character.
That's the annoying thing about it, everything needs to be a gag. That eye patch included. When Nick Fury delivered that dramatic line captain america, he was dead serious.
Now we know he was play acting as an intimidating guy, it's another joke.
In Marvel everything is a gag. It becoming a problem now.
That is spot on.
"I watched Captain Adequate, and then I found out about the Brie Larson's white men video, now I hate that movie".
Now Disney/Marvel are lucky because regular consumers don't really watch those stuffs, Brie is lucky.
How is he play acting at being an intimidating guy? He's in countless bad ass scenes in what feels like several billion films and in this particular movie is continually shown as brave, respected, commanding and resourceful and takes the frankly incredible and life threatening events around him in his stride. He even has a character arc in this film, certainly more than the lead, from relatively naive run of the mill fed to something more like the older Fury we know later on. I think explaining the eye patch was unnecessary (not everything needs explained or linked back to other films) but it hardly weakens his character.
Saw it last night, thought it was a fun movie. It had the same issues most origin movies have with too much time spent mastering the powers, believing in themselves etc. etc. etc.
I thought Brie Larson was a bit wooden, like she was in a daze for the whole movie. Dunno if that was purposeful based on her having been reprogrammed but I have seen her more engaged in films before.

Talos was great but I am guessing the Skrull's being refugees rules out a Secret Invasion storyline?
You should probably just stop watching Marvel movies.
Funny thing is I watched every single one of them. I'm okay with all other Marvel movies except this, and Black Panther.
Should I to stop watching my favorite genre? Absolutely not.
Am I not allowed to criticize this Marvel mess? Oh hell yea, I can say anything I want.
Does Marvel have blinded fans? Of course.
I'm probably going to regret asking, but what was wrong with Black Panther?
Political agenda something something identity politics something something.
We have a live one here.
The annoying thing about Marvel fandom is that they think they are the best studio out there.
Proud of that "Marvel Formula".
The fans are toxic, they can't accept criticism.
The Marvel sheep fans are like Apple sheep, they are the same. They won't find any wrong in their favorite multi-billionaire company because they are simply the "BEST".

Generally because it is accepted as a masterpiece (better/same level as The Dark Knight), but the movie was honestly average.
The lore for Wakanda is just dumb as feck (Rhino farm, Spear battles, Lazy city building, etc). Nothing political for me.
Most of the Marvel films are downright average, with a couple really poor ones and a couple good ones. I find them fun but as a whole their not exactly masterpieces. No one in this thread has really acted in the way you suggest, you got called out because you complained about Marvel's 'political agenda' when it came to CM even though you hadn't seen the movie.
Actual people claim this? That's a bit silly.
