The MARVELS Review - Was it Actually Kinda Great?

[@edblann]

1) they went to the water planet to intercept the villain 2) Carol's relationship with the Prince led her to the realisation that the villain was specifically targeting planets she has a connection to 3) there is a line in the epilogue of three film about how the water planet is fine. I got all of that in my first watch. How did y'all miss it?

[@kelownatechkid]

Yeah I definitely think the plot needed some work but I am getting the impression a lot of people were asleep during this film 😁

[@Babivegita]

Because Matt went in already hating it before watching it. Anyone with half a brain would've been able to catch all those points you mentioned after a single viewing.

[@JustJessee]

​@@Babivegitading ding ding! When you make up your mind before even sitting in the seat that the movie is beneath you, you're gonna jump to every conclusion, create every nit to pick, and piss on every chance that deserved a second glance.

[@mercuryyoung9206]

“It moves too fast, normal sci fi films take a minute to explore this new place” While I definitely understand this point; I do appreciate that it was faster because sometimes movies that do that leave us feeling “ok this crazy villain is literally destroying planets non stop, why are y’all taking walks and exploring this planets food when any second the villain could arrive and kill everyone”. Like for movies I get wanting to do that, but I feel like conversely it could feel unrealistic for the issue at hand.

Different property but meanwhile I was screaming at my screen watching Loki because I felt like it was all Loki just standing around looking at his friends and walking slowly lol

[@codsworth9950]

Both Colton and Matt say they don’t know why they went to the singing planet, Aladna, but they explain that pretty clearly in the movie. They want water from them because there’s more water there than any other planet. I’m confused how they didn’t understand that.

[@stuartbagley2586]

On top of that, Carol explains that planet was specifically picked because of its ties to her.

[@ChrisSonPEI]

There was no way the family were just going to sit around at home. I’m sure they just followed Fury and insisted they stay with him. It totally tracks with their personalities.

[@Pokémoon17]

[@blerdsmith3357]

And the fact that Fury said that. He mentioned how difficult her dad was.

[@wil6064]

Also the fact that she is a teenager. No matter if she has powers, they are her family and they will try be as close to her as they can.

[@kelownatechkid]

Yeah that part didn't need any explanation whatsoever lmao, I mean the entire movie they're shown to be super close and her parents care deeply about what she's up to. Just prior in the film there's an entire sequence of her parents asking where their daughter is and getting interrupted! No kidding they want to keep tabs lol

[@jemonecochran1826]

Plus how can they be completely sure that they will be safe? How can the family trust that? It makes sense that they’ll just go wit them

[@Ironlantern723]

27:44 Monica stated why she was mad at Carol, the last time she saw her Carol said she'd be back before she knew it. That was over thirty years ago. She felt abandoned especially after she came back from the blip and discovered she missed her mothers death.

[@BGDutchNorris]

I'd be pissed/hurt too if I got dusted, came back and ZERO family members were around.

[@hypercortical7772]

Also... this wasn't explained in the film, but i'm pretty sure the reason Monica had to be on the other side of the Incursion is because she does not have the power to pull. If you look at the tear, it's not symmetrical accross universes. It's like a puncture, with and "in" and an "out". By getting in on the other side, monica was able to use her energy projection abilities to push the surfaces back into place. But if she were on our side, she would have to *pull* it. But she can't Those beams of light she shoots aren't rope. It's just projected energy. all push no pull.

[@RemixRick1]

Good point, that actually made sense. I wondered why she couldn't just pull that off from the other side.

[@ainslienimmo8851]

Yeah I was thinkinh something similar but not as well explained as you - I felt it was shown in the images (hey an example of show don't tell- I thought that's what we wanted more of from the MCU :) !) that she had to push it to close it, rather than pull it as you say

[@famousthaneus9810]

It was literally just so the post credit scene could happen. She didn't know she could fly until she was made to do it, so the movie itself sets up the notion that she can use her powers in ways she hasn't attempted. She could've tried the pull before just saying, "Nah I gotta do it this way." If she'd attempted and then failed, I would agree with you.

[@famousgoldentouch]

Good explanation- I didn’t think about this fact / her powers … thanks !

[@Dsrgreyy]

Isn’t a critics job to critique? Also 50% of criticism is what’s called constructive. The movie was entertaining as most movies are. The Flash was entertaining, blue beetle was entertaining etc. a movie being fun and entertaining does not inherently make it great. At the same time one can say a movie not being entertaining doesn’t automatically make it bad.

That is the perfect attitude going into any movie, you were willing to give it a chance. I have a feeling the people that are saying that it was straight up bad decided that long before they walked into the theater.

[@tonywebert8326]

I heard that the movie was the shortest MCU movie before seeing it, and after I saw it I thought "Hey, they did a good job packing everything in there," but I came up with my biggest criticism later, and it kind of seemed like the reason it was short is because it had an entire character arc missing. I really think Kamala should have had time to play Monica's foil in a 1 on 1 scene. After she learns that Carol abandoned Monica, she could have had a "does my hero actually suck?" moment where she sticks up for Carol to Monica but she's really trying to prove to herself that she wasn't wrong for worshipping Carol. It seemed too convenient that everybody was like "Just focus on the mission" until the scene where Carol breaks down to Monica. Especially with Kamala's character. Why wouldn't she simp for Carol after Monica reveals how disappointed she is? Why would she just stand back and let that hang in the air?

[@ssofft]

I thought they went to Aladna because the villain wanted to take resources from places Carol called home.

[@SFNMutt]

You guys are saying they should have had a line explaining why the family was on the space station but they did. It was during the elevator video chat. When asked why her family is there Fury just says the mom insisted. I don't recall the exact wording but it was to keep an eye on kamala.

It’s a decent movie and the over exaggerated negativity for this coming from some KZbinrs I have been watching for years is a shame. Seems like most are just following the trend and hating for the sake of hating, or it’s become cool to criticise everything Marvel make ATM instead of dissecting each individual project. Screen Crush is the only channel I’ll keep watching for awhile.

[@cflash2785]

It's psychological some what. Most of the negativity for this movie comes from the already set troll negativity from the first Cap Marvel movie. Even when they say otherwise, they already went into the theaters set to dislike the movie by default. Same for most of the current MCU movies as of late. Look up "bandwagon effect." Most if not all are ok at least. Everyone is allowed to like what they like yes but most of the faults I hear from a lot of these critics are pretty null and contradictory in some cases. These movies are for one thing: Entertainment as a baseline. Anything after that is an added bonus.

[@tr4gik11]

So ... the movie is going for a disappointing opening because bandwagon effect? You are placing to much power on the haters, which they do not have (imagine if they did 😂 ) and underestimating the viewers and movie goers. The movie might not be bad I will give you that, it probably does what it is supposed to, entertain. Yet these are different times now, to much superhero content when the fad its starting to go away. Of course some comic fans are going to like it, but the investment on these kind of movies is humongous, risk moneywise very high. So Marvel will need home-runs or it will simply not be sustainable. If this flops, investing money will start raising eyebrows. Disney marvel will start reflecting on this, very soon.

[@sterlingarcher5698]

​@cflash2785 Totally agree...but they are getting worse. Writing specifically.

I notice that there is a trend with the MCU where people decide that they hate the film going into it because it is 'cool', and convince themselves that they hate it while watching because they have a bias viewpoint, similar to where I think the editors thoughts are coming from. Half of his critiques just werent true, he's just hating to hate it seems. This film helped many of the previous mcu projects connect to the greater storyline which is something fans have been complaining about (which is ludacris and stupid) and also helped set up new, potetnially massive future projects that havent been annouced yet. Tbh i feel as if most of the hate comes entirely from the fact that people dont like Brie Larson, which is an embarrasing mindset to have

I truly loved this film, despite it being viewed so negatively, and the best part, was that it was a pretty short movie that was not longer than it needed to be, without being too short.

(Kate Bishop, Yelena Belova, Iron Heart, Shuri, Valkrie, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, Monica Rambuex, Binary, Antman's daughter, etc.) The only good character left is Peter Parker.

A thought on reversing the releases, originally The Marvels was coming out in Feb 2023 before it was swapped with Quantumania. That would have put it ahead of Secret Invasion.

26:07 It’s just because you show it immediately with footage from the trailers here 26:19 : the fold is going INWARDS TO THE OTHER REALITY, meaning if she used force on the side she came from, the fold would’ve gone more open into the direction of the new reality, SO she went from inside the use forced to bend it back OUTWARDS and kinda melt it together like she showed she can “laser” things when with Carol alone.

The cat/flurb kept eating random things and had cravings. At Kamala's house one of them even mentioned to Nick Fury that his cat is looking a extra bit plump when it was licking itself. Meaning the cat was likely pregnant. But the characters never considered that and then the eggs and then the cat had it's liter.

[@dereksreviews]

@jonq.public5892 No, it really did. In Captain Marvel, Goose ate objects and people. The whole joke is look, it's a small cat but it can eat big things. I would assume cravings would happen because it's biologically trying to feed and support its children, but it ends up spitting up all the shit it eats anyway. I'm guessing that line was added much later in production to make this stupid plot point work because Goose looked exactly the same and didn't look pregnant at all. Ms. Marvel's mom noticed this, but Carol didn't? Come the fuck on. How did Goose get pregnant? From what we see, it's just Carol and Goose, and they've been alone. And how did Nick Fury and a team of scientists not figure out what was in the egg? Do any sort of ultrasound or xray and you'd see a cat in there.

RESPECT! you noticed so much others failed to see. By my opinion, it's their expectations to blame. I enjoyed the movie. People need to understand that this is a theatrical cut. It would be amazing if they released a director's cut with the full scenes. Film editors and executive producers always trim the movie runtime down. For better or worse. It's all about the number of screenings.

[@DelAragon808]

Sorry gotta post again about this editor you had on the interview. He did not appreciate the time they took to learn how to transfer powers? When they used their powers together, they’d swap, what was difficult to understand that? Captain Marvel even tells Kamala NOT to use her powers to avoid the switching. Kamala and Monica actually burn their powers at the same time to switch. It seems like they spent most of the movie with their faces in the popcorn bucket. Now the other guy wants Freaky Friday with these characters? These people discussing the movie are clowns and it seems their expectations outweigh the end result… a lot they complain about was covered in the actual movie. The gripes they made were all moot.

[@nicholasdiezmckenna9972]

Preech! Matt just seems to be someone who would find a negative in anything and one of these people who thinks they look cool or significant or somehow intellectual by negatively critising films. I think he confuses criticisng a film to the layman's go-to understanding of 'criticism' i.e. negative criticism and that somehow being positive isn't being ctritical of the film. I don't understand half the dislike that the three of them have but as the years go by, Screencrush becomes more negative about the MCU and definitely has started to pander to the "gender wars" within the fandom. Sh*ting on female-led projects before they're even reeleased. I mean, they did 1 trailer break down MONTHS ago and then just stopped covering The Marvels, wouldn't even mention it in their other videos. They've also made an effort to hide any mention of The Marvels from their channel homepage. Ryan sh*ts on Agatha & Ironheart anytime they come up and we haven't even seen a trailer yet. Screencrush cares more about their monitisation, merch and sponsors these days than maintaining continuity, equality, the positive healthy space it used to be. I also think they should have brought at least 1 woman on to get her thoughts because this is exactly what Brie mentioned about films being criticised by critics who the film isn't targeted at. Three white men reviewing the MCU's FIRST and ONLY all female team, already contradicting themselves.

Another way to look at the reason for 3 characters is that we had 3 generations teaming up. Carol (Gen X), Monica (Millenial), and Kamala (Gen Z). Each one also portrayed their generations as the rest of society sees them. Gen X not wanting to talk about their feelings until they have to, Millenials wanting to talk about their feelings but being ignored or slightly acknowledged, and Gen Z who are loud, exuberant, and obnoxious when excited. These aren't digs. These are traits that are (un)fairly labeled to each generation by society, and they were on display in this movie. I enjoyed the movie.

The criticism Matt had about the disconnect between Nick Fury in this movie vs where he ended up in Secret Invasion is exactly how I felt about Wanda at the end of WandaVision vs her heel turn in Multiverse of Madness. I know they tried to set it up with the WandaVision post-credit scene where we saw her studying the Darkhold, but I needed another 10-15 minutes showing her descent into darkness leading up to that heel turn. Same with Nick. There's no progression from the end of Secret Invasion to here, just a disconnected jump. Either this movie needed to add 20 minutes of backstory for him, which would've been excess to the story this movie was telling, or Secret Invasion needed to have left him in a better place. I feel like in both cases it's a case of too many cooks in the kitchen at this point. Feige has overstretched himself and started handing off too many responsibilities to writers and directors who clearly don't have a grasp on their little corners of the wider MCU, often explicitly so - witness Sam Raimi not even seeing all of WandaVision, or the many writers and directors who have said they just focus on their movies or series. This is problematic, but probably not even mostly their fault. The obsession Marvel seems to have with secrecy now where they give actors fake scripts and don't tell writers or directors anything is just actively harming the MCU now. They have to find a better way to avoid spoilers than just paranoid secrecy. Also, this is like the 4th MCU movie that was cut down too short. With Multiverse of Madness and its contemporaries I could blame Bob Chapek's, well, greed, but there's clearly a bigger issue there.

For the perhaps-minority segment of The Marvels viewers who watched Secret Invasion, they could Google the answer to their disconnect after the movie. I don't think it had an obligation to address the show on-screen. The Marvels was both filmed and originally supposed to release before Secret Invasion. Even the reshoots for The Marvels came before that of Secret Invasion. By June 2023 Disney+ had been going on a year without any new MCU series, so i don't blame them for not delaying it until after The Marvels, which would be 2024.

I honestly enjoyed the film despite its brisk pace. The musical number from the trailers made it look like a Bollywood sequence, so i was surprised as to why it was there, but enjoyed it. It was long enough to serve its purpose as a break in action, but not so long as to outstay its welcome. The Phlurkin sequence to memories illicited a good chuckle out of me mainly due to the fact it was a song from cats and the voice over calmly stating to the staff to stop running and get eaten. As far as the main villain, i think she did a decent job. As a wrestling fan, it reminded me of a bit of a storyline that didnt need to be explained beyond wanting to save her people and punish Captain Marvel for her actions. She wasn't as menacing as other villains in MCU history, but she didn't need to be as her goal was actually noble, but a terrible execution of method. The main reason i wanted to see this movie was due to thoroughly enjoying the Ms. Marvel show and seeing more of Kamala Khan and her family. I agree that her fan-girl energy is what the MCU needs. While everyone sees this as a possible set up for Young Avengers (which could be awesome), i am actually hoping for a Champions movie where maybe they have a sort of Civil War with the Avengers Reformed as the Champions were formed to help their local communities vs the entire universe and how sometimes the little people are forgotten after the Battle of New York.
