Captain Marvel - The most BORING, MEDIOCRE Marvel movie yet

Great news, everyone! Now that I've seen Captain Marvel and temporarily sobered up long enough to do the review, I can finally give my thoughts on it with a proper review. Enjoy.

Brilliant line. And she has to overcome the oppression of Gravity.

[@stonedvillain79]

The reason Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley are the strongest women in cinema history, is because they were vulnerable first. They had to overcome fears and failure, and grow into stronger, warrior type characters. These elements are completely lacking in modern story telling.

[@Truthster772]

stonedvillain79 yes! I couldn’t agree more!

[@AnjanaBSubba]

You just described every strong character, period. This is why James Bond become much, much more likeable from Casino Royale onwards because it showed his vulnerability and weakness but he said got up and did his job.

When was Ripley vulnerable at first? She's rock solid from the get-go as far as I remember?

[@cyclopsdias]

Some could argue it's also the likelihood of someone to be that kickass that makes them a fun character.For example,Ripley's journey into being a badass was also organic(apart from also having her be vulnerable).She wasn't a know it all who excelled at everything instantly.She was a smart,capable woman to begin with,who used her brains to win.I think that even if she wasn't beat around so much,she would still be an awesome protagonist because she does her best,without ever being superhuman or unnatural. Rey is just godlike from the get go.She easily defeat Kylo,a trained Force user with NO force training,something not even Anakin could ever do,and he was practically Force Jesus.Even without ever failing,her success is overwhelming,she completely obliterates ANY opposition and is perfect in everything she does with no real set up,reason,or training.

[@SairajRKamath]

There's a scene in 'Winter Soldier' where Fury takes off his eyepatch and tells Alexander Pierce that he "needs to keep both eyes open". It was so bad-ass and made you imagine that his blind eye is a scar from some dark event in his past. But NOPE - 'Captain Marvel' made it just a cat scratch. Nothing to take seriously.

[@quannguyenle9775]

yup, that really piss me off too, they could make that scar come from Fury trust some Skrull disguide as somebody he trust and lose someone because of it, but no, he has to lose it by the most stupid circumstance possible

[@sonofaquack6987]

kinda sad they even put the eye thing in there. they could've done it in another movie before the events of the Avengers. C'mon. A cat? You guys could've done better.

[@Kewryn]

And this is a surprise? I would think that by the time "Captain Marvel" came about, MCU made it VERY clear that they were gonna sacrifice character depth for cheap laughs... or is it that you didn't saw "Thor: Ragnarok" or "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2"?

Can't agree with you more. I usually rewatch all the marvel movies but this one was hard to sit through in the theatre. There's something about Brie Larson's portrayal as Captain Marvel makes the character really unlikable.

[@madeliner1682]

@Clifford Terrell Giving a bunch of the traits of toxic masculinity to female characters does not equal writing strong female characters. Character strength is not judged by muscle mass or a flat ratio of wins versus losses, but on the well roundedness of the personality and the amount of depth in thoughts and actions portrayed in what is intended to represent the kinds of complexities that are present in real people. Captain marvel is not a strong female character, she is a strong female caricature.

I'm pretty sure at that point everyone on the bus is gonna think Captain Marvel is just some mental case having a go at old ladies and someone will step in to try and restrain her. If nothing else it might make her question whether she's even got the right person, or if she's just targeting innocent civilians now.

So I recently watched this for the first time and found it fell flat on many levels: Fundamentally the movie does not successfully get you behind Danvers as a character - it kinda felt as though the narrative was being told the wrong way around as you really don't get to see Danvers as an interesting character. We don't get a good sense of who she was (although the film repeatedly has other characters telling us how funny she was - why not show us her being funny?) and the only development is that she figures out the life she had forgotten. She's a pretty dull protagonist to be honest. The cat. Is the ...uh ... CGI stuff supposed to be funny? It's as though an outlandish comic element rejected from Guardians of the Galaxy was transplanted into a different sort of film. And the whole Fury thing was lame. I kept thinking 'where did that come from?' or 'how does that work?' E.g. Danvers' photon blasts at one point can suddenly jump start a car (I think it was a car). Danvers goes into a house in civvies and then walks out in her Kree suit despite not having had any apparent means to carry it for the last hour. These moments became jarring. Mary Sue: i've been re-watching a lot of the MCU in the last week or so and I think this is the only film in which the hero wins simply by beating up the bad guys at the end. There's always a trick or a MacGuffin, starting in Iron Man 1 where ironmonger is killed by blowing up the Arc Reactor, up to Endgame (tony uses his nanosuit to pinch the stones off Thanos). For Marvel to simply destroy Ronan's troops only serves the rather forced 'she's been held back' narrative, which isn't really a compelling way to end a heroes' journey story imo and it just feels forced in as a deliberately feminist element that feels narratively regressive. It also paved the way for a similar unearned victory moment in Endgame. Retcon the origin of the Avengers intiative. No thanks. Not necessary. Again, feels forced.

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

Carol Danvers doesn't have a character aside from "badass woman". It's that way in the comics too and surprise, surprise! Marvel keeps trying to force her into becoming a popular character. Your observation about the heroes not just winning by beating the bad guy up is a good one and not something I've ever seen many other people notice. That's actually how most of the best superhero stories work. Sure their powers help but in the end the hero's intelligence and/or heart is what makes them successful. One of my favorite tropes in Batman stories is the villain thinking they're going to have one final showdown fight with each other. The bad guy thinks they're going to finally see who the better fighter is...and then Batman more or less cheats (in the sense of not fighting with "honor") and quickly defeats them. They're superheroes and supervillians not two guys fighting over a UFC belt.

Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, and Thor had more compelling origin movies than Captain Plank. The writers of those four movies really made you see the four men as who they were as characters and how they changed to the world around them. Tony starts out as arrogant and uncaring to the world around him until he almost dies and is captured by terrorists who were using his weapons. After being rescued, Tony changes and decides to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves. Bruce starts out as a man who has been transformed by a version of the super soldier serum and has to learn how to adapt and control himself so he doesn’t Hulk out. Thor starts out very arrogant and doesn’t think before he acts. He nearly starts another war with the snow giants and, in turn, loses his powers and hammer. During his journey, he becomes more humble and caring to others and earns his powers and hammer back. Steve starts out as a small, sickly but determined man who is hell-bent on fighting in the war. He wants to protect his homeland and people and he hates bullies. Steve already had a good heart and courage, which is why the super soldier serum transforms him into basically Hercules, but he has to learn how to balance his powers and not lose himself. During the war, he loses people, like Bucky, his brother from another mother, and makes the ultimate sacrifice by plunging a plane full of warheads into ice, knowing he probably wouldn’t survive. When he wakes up in the modern time, he learns he’s lost everyone but Peggy and Bucky (who Steve didn’t know was alive until Winter Soldier.) In a nutshell, Captain Plank has nothing on these four in regards of story and character growth. She starts and ends the same. The only difference is that she fights for the Skrulls instead of the Kree. Her character is very bland and her growth is nonexistent.

Much like the Drinker, I didn't have much of a problem with Captain Marvel. I didn't think it was that great, but I didn't hate it either. I wasn't really interested in the feminism angle, because I watched plenty of movies with strong female characters growing up (Ripley in the Alien franchise, Valeria in Conan the Barbarian, Sarah Connor in Terminator, etc.), so the idea of a strong female character was nothing new to me. The only thing that was new was the media hype suggesting that this was something revolutionary, which was cynically exploited by the studio to increase ticket sales. I only had two main gripes with the movie. The first was turning Dr. Lawson/Mar-Vell into a woman, which I felt was disrespectful to the source material. There was also no need for it, since the character's gender is irrelevant to the plot. I suspect it was only done so that Carol Danvers wouldn't owe anything to a man, while in the comic, she chose the costumed identity of Ms. Marvel (remember, it was the '70s) to honor a man she respected and who she'd been through a lot with. The second had to do with Brie Larson's performance. It's okay, as far as it goes, but I don't think it goes far enough. She's a human who has been brainwashed by aliens and thinks she is one, but she doesn't act in a remotely alien manner. The Kree are an intensely war-like militaristic species. One would think she'd be a soulless, ruthless killing machine, a soldier to the core, much like Kurt Russell in Soldier, because she has no memories of anything else. She should have been more of a fish-out-of-water after she arrived on Earth, because humans are aliens to her. That would have given the character an arc, rediscovering her lost humanity and what it means to be human. But that would have meant giving her a flaw, and apparently, female characters aren't permitted to have flaws, for fear of looking weak.

This movie had also some poorly managed marketing. On the other hand, Captain marvel was a movie everyone was talking about and promoting for years. It had all the support of the media, the heavy weight Disney behind its ass and the connection with endgame, and of course the fact that is a MCU movie, and just that is enough to guarantee its success.

Honestly, I think your comments are fair. Thank you.

The Long Kiss Goodnight did it better. Same premise, no feminist propaganda.

[@gungral2097]

@safe space I stated it. They seem to have forgotten Wonder Woman, Alita, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill, Etc etc....had strong female leads who didn't rely on feminist propaganda to sell their movies

[@Revanchist-PL]

The Long Kiss is honestly one of my favourite action movies

[@danielwood1540]

This movie was like ordering a pie and realising after there’s no filling........

[@maklasika5055]

Yes, my expectations have truly been subverted, and I cannot wait for the next one. Your video, that is.

Thank you! It is NOT essential to Avengers: Endgame at all!

In 2016, 10.5 litres of pure alcohol were sold per adult in Scotland, equivalent to 20.2 units per adult per week. The UK Chief Medical Officers’ low risk alcohol guidelines advise against men and women drinking more than 14 units a week on a regular basis. This means that enough alcohol was sold last year in Scotland for every adult to exceed the weekly guideline by 44%, every week of the year. In Scotland, sales of alcohol per adult per week are 17% greater than in England and Wales.

I bought a ticket to Cold Pursuit, and instead snuck in and saw this. Not only were there plenty of seats opening weekend, but this nowhere near lived up to it's hype...not even close. The movie was entertaining...as are most, but honestly I'd wait for this to come out at Redbox or cable. Larson is nothing to write home about - I don't see her as a star in the making.

Brie Larson > burt lancaster

Yall talking about poor captain marvel personality when literally half of the male characters in marvel have the exact same stupid personality

[@chronica6457]

Factually incorrect Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Iron Man all had entire movies dedicated to them going through massive crisis Plus there's more to their abilities than just "oh yeah I have powers lol time to suddenly learn to fly and destroy everything"

Wow you're dense as shit
