Captain Marvel: An Unbridled Meh

Well, it looks as if the MCU has out done itself, like this ended up being double the length of the normal rant breakdowns but there is so much to lay out, hope you enjoy it folks ;) /

[@MauLerYT]

The rudimentary research into space travel at light speed, amounts of solar systems and planets and all that is totally something I recommend people look into to get more accurate numbers, I just did a few google searches with Fringy and checked a couple of websites. It seems I might have underestimated the distances and made a few mistakes that makes it all seem smaller than it is but that would only make the overall point more relevant; Light speed just aint gonna cut it, not by a long shot when it comes to travelling between galaxies.

[@OutsideTheTargetDemographic]

No one ever really travels at light speed.

[@mrdoitright88]

Yep, only covers the monotone part of her personality. Whereas the animated CM in the 2010s, she's a badass in the battlefield and the fun big sister when she's Carol Danvers.

[@Schnort]

I have very little control over my emotions. It is something I have struggled over my whole life. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy affect me the most. This is not what being "too emotional" looks like. Like, when she was a kid in the kart racing accident, she should have been fuming or bawling or ANYTHING besides having a blank face. During the scene where she was sparing with the other guy in the beginning of the movie, she should have been defeated despite her powers because her judgement was clouded by how emotional she was. Maybe she accidentally hits someone or breaks something in a fit of rage at being worse than the other guy. I can't sense any emotions in this character, especially not any that are "too emotional" to the point of hampering her.

[@bankait_rex1860]

She has trained her whole life lol.

[@Lobsterwithinternet]

Because it's a metaphor for women being hormonal and it being a great thing.

[@DarkSithBarbie]

She is absolutely not a realistic and relatable strong female character for several reasons. 1. During her derby race as a kid, she really did need to slow down on the turns. But because she was immature, she ended up nearly break in her neck from bad judgement. Her dad, who not only let her race but also most likely helped her practice, yelled at her for good reason. "You don't belong out there!" Translation: "If you are going to be reckless, you don't need to be doing this." 2. The group of men mocking her on the obstacle course are heckling her to motivate her. Has no one seen a military movie before? Has no one hung out with a group of men before? EVERYBODY gets heckled and mocked in training, because it's character building. Tough Love. If she was so immature and self-victimizing to realize that she was not the only person being verbally harrassed, she doesn't belong in the military. 3. The message of her being "too emotional" is a jab at women being more empathetic and verbally high context. She is not emotional! She is overly sensitive and incapable of taking criticism. That's not emotionality! 4. I have had far more criticism and bullying from other women growing up. I could count on one hand how many times I was bullied by a man on one hand. Half of them were just off color jokes that went too far, and the others was one particular boy who was obnoxious. 5. She is sooooo arrogant! I cringe internally and externally any time she makes an executive decision. Legitimately, if she were a man acting that way, that character would still be a massive jerk. My best example isn't from this movie but in End Game when she tells Rocket from Gaurdians od the Galaxy, "Earth isn't the only planet that needs help." Oh, really, Cpt Meh-vel? You're going to to tell the person who has literally been traveling the universe helping different planets, too? This is why mansplaining ia not a thing.

[@YouWillBeHappyOrElse]

Your points 1 and 2 are actually points on which they could have done legitimate subversion. Have her slowly come to realize that those things weren't people telling her to quit, but teaching her what the price of persistence would be. Have her begin to remember the full context of those broken memories--and how she only remembers the hurts she felt, not the things that came right before and after. And instead of "Just a Girl" playing in the background of her triumphant and unstoppable rampage, every time she falters, she hears an echo of someone encouraging her, someone supporting her, and THEN she gets her second wind. She's no longer afraid of failure; she becomes the hero everyone knew she could be, and she was the only one who ever doubted. Every other Avenger basically becomes who they are because someone believed in them and helped them--Yinsen for Tony, Odin for Thor, Betsy for Bruce, Erskine for Steve, Clint for Natasha. If anything, needing the support of others makes her MORE of an Avenger.

[@bleung2274]

It could have been a story depicting the conflict between the Kree, the Skrull, and a young Nick Fury thrown in between, forced to figure out just what his place is among these alien factions, having to come to terms with realizing that humanity isn't the masters of the universe but more like an ignored puppy on a backwater planet. The Kree were superadvanced, their motivations were intentionally kept shallow, but their motivations were what started this entire mess in the first place. Their motivation is effectively the one thing that can be considered the true antagonist (not the figurehead antagonist that needed to be propped up against the cardboard protagonist), but we barely get anything to understand it. They didn't want us to understand the story or appreciate the foundations - they just slapped together a foundation and assumed that because the mainline story was already accepted, whether it made sense or had any depth didn't matter. The Kree/Skrull conflict was used as a framing device for the protagonist, but somehow even when it is neglected, it is more interesting than the protagonist. The director or writer was apparently so obsessed with making the movie revolve around the lead actress that they never considered what a prequel movie could have actually done for the big picture. If they had any consideration for making it an interesting story, they could have at least put her through an actual arc, or else use her a framing character to make the Kree/Skrull conflict or the other lead characters more prominent. But in tried and true fashion, this wasn't about the big picture or about the team, just about the leading lady.

I wish I could understand the writers of these movies. They're so uncreative. 'The protagonist is a girl, so we must center the story around her being a girl'. 'The protagonist is black, so we must tell a story about racism, colonialism and prejudice'. 'The protagonist is Asian, so we must tell a mythical story with lots of martial arts and zen BS'. I mean, isn't it a bad message placing these characters exclusively in this kind of story? As if they didn't have any other stories to tell? Such a terrible concept.

[@wingsoffreedom3589]

The irony is they create their own racism the reason why white characters have been more interesting in the MCU and it's not the racism of the fandom it's the racism of the marvel team. Like you said when they write for a girl character it must be about her being a girl or a black character being about the black experience. I remember when Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out Falcon's entire personality changed from a practical soldier and friend with a sense of humor and honored to take Cap's shield in Endgame to a jaded black guy who saw the shield as a symbol of American racism as soon as the series started. Then he can't get a loan from the bank because banks are supposedly racist in real life, even though in-universe it makes no sense since he's a celebrity superhero who does government contract work that pays in the mid-6 figures. That's like telling me Lebron James can't get a loan because of racism what bank would be stupid enough to Incur that kind of negative publicity. They always end up writing women and minorities down to their immutable characteristics which makes them one-dimensional and often the character's on-screen life circumstances are incongruous with the average person in that demographic so often the allegory is lazy and contrived like Falcon's bank issues he is not an average black man, therefore, he will not have an average black man experience. Meanwhile Straight White characters actually have to be a character with motivations flaws and desires because the writers don't have immutable characteristics to fall back on as a shield against criticism do they actually have to put in the work to make the character interesting. There whole lack of good diversity accepted by the Fandom is a self-made problem and then they victim blame the fans for not eating up the vomit they spew onto us.

Extremly easy fix for the whole power limiter thing: Instead of telling plank that the patch gives her her powers the kree could have just told her that her power is in fact her own, that she is a mutant or something along these lines and that this patch is in fact a power limiter. But they gave her that power limiter because the power she got is far too great for her body to bear with it and without the limiter her own power would destroy her and everything else within a hundred kilometers radius. This would make for a far more believable story, paint the kree in a benevolent light, explain why noboy else has this power, leverage planks own professed goodness against her taking the patch off and the kree could even use the excuse of trying to help plank control and/or extract her power to experiment on her with her consent!

Brie Larson is a good actress, this movie just really didn't work with her and she wasn't trying her best. But casting her was a good idea in plan, just wasn't executed as well as it really could've been. She's got the credentials to back her talent up, just this movie was a miss for her.

[@papershadow]

I recently watched the entirety of the show just for old time's sake. Not only did plank have some solid screen presence, but also legitimate characterization. Plank has been shown to be caring, loyal, protective, scheming, moderately aggressive, opportunistic to the occasional treachery, and quite possibly actually sentient. Literally a cartoon block of wood in 2000s children's entertainment media that was created from a dare has more character than this lady.

I find it quite funny how in the 80’s we had a better female protagonist in the alien series (ripley) who had flaws but was still a strong female character and 40 years later when women rights is a major deal now, they put less effort into making good female characters. Just bc a woman needs help in a situation doesn’t mean that they are looking down on her or making it a “damsel in distress” trope, tony stark needs help numerous times throughout his movies as well as the avengers movies, same wth Thor, captain America, etc. Idk why it’s such a major thing to have a moment of weakness in a female character when it’s clear they have no issue doing it for the male characters of the franchise. Imo it’s actually more sexist to do it like that and act like this is ok. Disney as well as Hollywood as a whole needs to get this through their heads tht watching perfect characters be good at everything isn’t entertaining, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, I just want to watch an entertaining marvel movie wth good comedy, solid action, relatable heroes and ridiculous villain plots.

Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men. The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles. "Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?" "We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country." Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country. Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010. "It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."

She's like the reverse Tony Stark. In Iron Man, Tony starts off as a snarky, sarcastic and egotistical guy who becomes humbled and heroic when he undergoes a life changing event and gets his power. Carol Danvers starts off as a passive, down to earth girl who becomes really cocky and arrogant once she gets her powers.

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Stark does not "get" "his power" He builds a conbat suit thats ahead of its time. He builds a powersourcs, in a cave, to power it. Stark did not get shit handed to him. He build it.

[@CrowAtNight]

@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Maybe "get his power" wasn't the best combination of words to use, but you still get my point. From the start of the movie to the end, Tony Stark's characterization progresses while Carol Danvers' characterization regresses.

[@jimsondergeld2262]

Danvers was never passive, even in the flashbacks. She went from cocky and arrogant ordinary human to cocky and arrogant human with Superman powers. Whereas in "Iron Man", Stark went from snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy to slightly less snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy with a super suit. It wasn't until "Infinity War" that that "snarky, sarcastic, egotistical" was finally decimated out of him.

That is actually a great character flaw and plot point. her obsession with proving her self leads to arrogance and her not acknowledging that you have to fail to be able to succeed.

Carol’s relationship with Jude Law (don’t remember his character’s name at all) should’ve been given more development and focus. From what I remember, he was like a mentor to her. Why was he so significant (according to the movie) to her, evil or not? Why did he take her to his planet when she got her powers? What did she mean to him? Why keep her alive? Why did he give her HIS blood? Are they just mentor and student or friends? Why was her blast in the desert such a “comeback” when he demanded she fight fairly? To the point where she felt the need to say she has nothing to prove to him. He clearly meant something to her at SOME point because otherwise that line feels meaningless.

Such as captain marvels defence people don't like it because she's a female isn't accurate and now I can share well articulated arguments/explanations why the movie was awful. Same as black panther and it's racism defence. I didn't like it because it wasn't a bunch of white people running around I simply didn't like it because it make no freaking sense at all. The plot was stupid, the half advanced culture half primative thing was odd. Choosing their leader based on who hits harder while being the most technologically advanced civilization and using spears...... Yeah I seriously thank these guys for spreading awareness that marvel can't keep using lazy writing and hiding behind woke propaganda. People know everything that's wrong with the movies now you can't flash shiny CGI fights at everyone.

[@Punished_Trump]

What? You mean Captain Marvel WASN'T the first movie to ever feature a strong female lead? Don't speak such lies. I'm considering this a personal attack.

[@kaisersoymilk6912]

Capt Marvel has a different message, in those movies the message was: women can be strong characters too. Today's message is: women are not strong characters because they are oppressed by men, so only by shitting on men they can prove they're strong and just as good (if not even more) in murdering 3rd world brown people abroad like their male counterparts. Epic movies of today are like unironical versions of Starship Troopers: "I'm doing my part!" o7

When I first watched this video, I made a comment about the concept of "Show, don't tell". Now that I watch the video again, four years later, I still think of that concept and how they didn't understand it, but it also made me realize something else: I think I finally understood the true nature of what once was called a "nerd". So, I'm aware there's descritptions of the word, please bear with me, I mean something else. Nerds were people knowing names of characters, taking the storie "too seriously", theorizing about future plot elements or hidden meanings in certain instances, buying merchandise and overall being fans of something that "isn't real". I know, that's not all there is to being called a nerd, but it's a strong indicator and it's something all nerds have had in common. Now think about it: A normal popcorn flick would mostly be understandable, even if it was the second installment and you never saw the first one. Most serialized works were shows you would watch in the evening after work or for "housewives" to get over their boredom in between chores. Times changed; Netflix and chill was a thing. Overall, media changed. It was more accessable, as in, more people watched TV, went to the cinema, movies looked better and were easier to produce, etc. Back in the day, someone who watched or read something lasting longer than two hours, like Star Wars or Star Trek, something you had to get behind to actually watch an episode of, just wasn't for everyone. Watching something, getting invested, because you won't understand shit and thus won't enjoy it if you don't, is something entirely exclusive to works with thought put behind them. If you watch Lord of the Rings, you would need to remember the characters, their names, how the lore works, in order to fully understand what's happening and to get invested in what might happen in the long run. People who knew "this much" and took the lore seriously instead of simply glossing over it, because "It's ABoUT SpACe MAgiC", those people were called nerds. Nowadays, those people aren't that much of a thing anymore, even if the words Geek or Nerd are still a things in society. The reason being aforementioned shift in how movies and shows are made, since now people tend to watch things more intently; more people are now paying attention to what they are seeing. But of course, not everyone does. Those people would still stick to their popcorn-flicks and rarely think further about what they have even seen. The people making and defending this shite are those I would put into the "Desperate Housewives" category. The kind were you can accept that they would probably remember the names of the characters and sometimes theorize a little, but whatever happens next is a shortlived exitement, an outrageous climax to one episode and characters might just act however down the road. They don't want to and won't think more deeply about a deeper lore or character arcs, because they can't be bothered to give that much of a fuck. That is why they also don't think that others care about any of that and if you complain, you are a "Menbaby", because you "care" enough to realize the problems occuring in the logics department, despite being a grown person who shouldn't care that much about something that isn't "real". Which is ... one of the biggest things people made fun of in "Nerds" back in the day; also the most integral part in being called. It's not "Menbabies" - it's "Nerds" they hate. Because they care. Or in other words: "Because you are a nerd, but we can't say that, because being a nerd is being cool nowadays, because just saying I like comics or videogames already makes me a nerd".

funny how everyone in the movies criticism of her is "she's too emotional" when she always only ever shows the same emotional range of a plank of wood.

[@stpbasss3773]

She has 2 emotions, getting offended and PLANK.

[@Briaaanz]

I honestly think it was intentional. A historical Trope is that women have always been told that they are emotional, subject to hysteria, etc... so the point in the movie is that she is still told that, even though she displays absolutely no emotional range. So yeah, I think it was intended; just wish they handled it differently

[@storysurgeon5922]

@@Briaaanz wouldn't give the writers that much credit tbh

[@DarkSithBarbie]

Apparently being overly sensitive, arrogant, and incapable of taking criticism is translated at emotional instead of just immaturity. Instead of, you know, trusting her emotional reasoning or being compassionate to a fault.

[@random.3665]

I think what is often meant with "emotional" isnt that a character is displaying emotions strongly, but rather that they base their decision making on emotion instead of reason. And in that regard, lots of the stuff that Captain Marvel does can be seen as "emotional", as she often makes quick, impulsive decisions that are not well thought out. The problem is that the movie usually rewards her for acting like that, instead of showing the drawbacks.

The fact that the movie has 1.2b in box office doesn't mean 1.2b people went to see it. That would be a bit more than a seventh of the world's population, and we know there's not that much well-living people to go to a cinema. Also, the average cinema ticket costs more than a dollar.

I refuse to accept that the cat scratch is why nick lost his eye. Not just because that would be stupid and some form of character assassination, but it doesn’t even fit with what we’ve seen before. Nick’s wound is shown to go from his nose down to his cheek. Or cheek up to nose, it doesn’t matter. Based on how a cat’s paw and limbs work, that cat would not make the wound that direction. The cat uses the paw that’s on the same side as the eye. That cat would not push its leg to the other side of its body, rotate its paw, then scratch downward to go across the eye like that. That scratch would go from his temple down to his nose. It’s literally not possible for that scratch to be caused that way. Like, not only is it stupid in-universe for it to happen that way, it’s stupid out-of-universe too.
