I don't get that part. Didn't they oppress the skrulls and other people in the first movie? They're the bad guys. What they were suffering from is just a consequence of their malice and illwill.

I don't get it.

I love how absolutely everyone picks up on the incredibly obvious plot thread of "oh, so Kamala is disappointed in her hero, this could be interesting". Everyone... except Marvel.

[@moridin3336]

I mean, she had a whole thing with that in Civil War 2 in the comics, where she hated Carol being pro-Minority Report and felt betrayed by her hero. That's really a major issue for her and ends up kickstarting her growth into leaving the Avengers and helping form the Champions. If they are going to keep with Ms. Marvel being a major player in later phases, they are going to need to start laying the groundwork for her (and other younger heroes) feeling the older heroes aren't being very heroic anymore.

[@ExamplePrime]

I love how Thor had to get to a station fully reliant on a dying star and he had to re-energize the station to start the process of revitalizing the dwarf star and it almost killed him but then Captain Marvel is like yeah so I'll just like, glow really hard and reignite a star.

[@DanDaniel-sx6iq]

Which would be fine if there was any point in her character arc where you felt like the character kind of earned her godlike powers, or if her powers and limitations were somewhat better explained, or anything that typically makes a superhero’s powers interesting. Like Thor has godlike powers but he has to be worthy. He can lose them. He can become more powerful but only through effort and personal growth. So when he recharged a dying dwarf star, you think “oh wow, I bet Thor from the first movie couldn’t have done that, he’s really come a long way.” With Captain Marvel it’s just like, “Of course she can do that, she’s has the power of being a feminist virtue signal. Her only weakness is is that she has none while men have so many.”

[@jvomkrieg]

@@DanDaniel-sx6iq Lol. Whereas Superman gets that kind of power because *checks notes* the sun exists.

[@vicefandonna1575]

@@jvomkrieg 😂😂😂 Yeah but it's been established for a really long time that Superman is basically a Kyrptonian who took Solar Steroids growing up, like the relationship between Solar Energy and his Superpowers is baked deep into his lore, so Superman getting God Powers from the Sun is just an extension of pre-existing backstory and is internally narratively existent.

[@sjmcc13]

I think it works, if and only if, they stars were dead for different reasons. It was implied the Kree killed their star in their civil war so it could have been more autostart then breathing life into the dying embers to revive a fire that is almost out of wood which would normally be the case for a naturally dying star. Was not explained well in the movie, but could be done so makes sense Thor had issues with a similar task.

[@bonephish12]

​@@jvomkriegFunny you should mention Superman, because If I'm not mistaken there's a story arc for Supes where in he actually flyes too close to the sun saving some astronauts or something and gets, idk super solar cancer or something, it sounds dumb but was just a convenient way to kill him. But you know OBVIOUSLY Capt. Marvel is soooo much stronger and better than him anyway.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

You could have also made it so that on the planet there's a bunch of people who just play instruments all day. Perhaps have a gag where one of the musicians sings "Hey, what key are we in?" or the singers indicating a key change by stopping in the middle of a conversation to announce "E-Minor," and then then musicians reposition their fingers/hands for the change. Perhaps even have a grumpy musician who's trying to eat his lunch but he's compelled to play his instrument, so he tries to eat his spaghetti as he plays. Just having them all sing, until they don't, is the lamest execution of the concept.

They stated in the movie that she could’ve easily taken care of Dar-Ben if they didn’t keep switching all the time.

And Captain Marvel was basically purposefully touching the bangles every chance she got she was helping the villain out on purpose 🤣

I really hate how they nerfed Carol in this movie! She almost took Thanos all on her own in the End Game, but she's so lousy here. Also, sure she does have more of a personality here, but storytelling wise, the first movie is a lot better. You could feel the tension. This one is just meh. Goose and Nick didn't shine as much as they did in the first movie. And why does Maria Rambeau have to always be a Captain Marvel variant! Urgh.

[@willarth9186]

The reason why MCU films suck has nothing to do with female actors, female directors or male audiences. The scripts suck! Weak plot lines, bad dialog and no back story to let audiences become invested in the characters. With The Marvels, I left the theatre when Nick Fury yelled, "BLACK GIRL MAGIC!" +Double Face Palm+ The toughest non-superhero in Marvel-verse reduced to a cat-holding simp. At least I was saved from singing planet. But, between that Irritable Bowel Syndrome inducing movie and now I was led to the show 1883 and I discovered that great acting and scripts still exist. That strong men and strong women CAN exist in the same show. Sam Elliot, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Isabel May with fantastic supporting actors and cameos by Tom Hanks and Billy Bob Thornton restored my faith. Just the first four minutes of Ep One of 1883 made me want to binge watch all ten episodes. Then I followed the Dutton family and binge watched 1923 with Harrison Ford and on to Yellowstone with Kevin Costner. I have no idea why Disney takes stupid plots, idiot dialog and tries to wrap those around characters no one knows nor cares about. Doesn't ANYONE at Disney read this crap before they shovel hundreds of millions into the crapper?

[@gajaan316]

Because its like taking a stab at a piece of paper. Stab one side, and theres a hole, with remnants of the paper being whole on the other side. If you want to fix it and tape it, you gotta push those wrinkles back to being flat with the paper. Same logic here. Dar Benn punched a whole through space-time, and to close it, you got to "punch" it from the other side and push the broken pieces back together

[@paradoxlaboratories8005]

[@MegaZeo]

I like how Carol, Kamala, and Monica had that whole montage (the "Intergalactic" sequence) where they learned to "control" and synchronize their switching places and then that never comes into play again and during the final fight they're all still annoyed and surprised by the switching of places instead of using it to their advantage for some really cool "teleporting around and hitting the villain in ways they could never possibly anticipate" choreography. That was the best.

[@eclipsehorse8693]

lol, yanno so far as the switching powers thing goes- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer handled it MUCH better-

[@Jaxser]

For a scene that really capitalize on that concept, watch the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, brotha. You won't be disappointed.

[@sterling7]

Given re-shoots, script changes, and the like, I'm guessing it's entirely possible that either the scenes occurred in a different order at some point, or the "learning to control" scene simply didn't exist when the fight was shot.

[@BBTManiac]

If they had competent writing and fight choreo they really could have done a lot with it. You'd be able to do a bunch of gags. Even for a final fight to introduce more dynamic and tone down how OP carol is; you could have the big bad whats her face also be added to the swapping. Quick gag where carol's swapped and the anticipated photon blast instead nearly hits monica because she switched with the boss due to the bangles being fully activated or something. Quick glances and worry around, big bad throws a one liner gag, and all of them now need to contend with this new variable that they work together to overcome.

[@peacemaster8117]

I actually gave the movie credit and said "oh, they're practising using their powers, that's cool. At least it'll feel earned when they use them to tag-team the villain at the end." and then the tag-team never really happened. Absolutely awful writing.

[@gajaan316]

I REALLY don't get why people are saying "light powers=teleport mayhem". Its CLEARLY because all 3 of them touched the weird glitch jumpoints in space. Carol touched the one on that one planet, Monica touched the one on Earth, and Kamala literally has the Quantum Band (the McGuffin that created jumpoints in Kree legends). As for why Dar-Benn doesnt teleport, she had it off of her while meeting with the Skrulls, while the scientists looked into it

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

@@gajaan316 Despite Fury asserting the light based powers thing was a "strong theory" I think it's all wet. Monica and Carol both touched the jump points, while Kamala was wearing one of the quantum bands (which in inherently linked to the other band). Dar-Benn wasn't wearing one at the time, and even if she was, she doesn't have innate powers. It's enough for comic-book style quantum entanglement as the quantum bands can open jump points. They're just micro-sized, and open when there is energy on both sides (via using their powers). I can also buy the energy overload that killed Dar-Benn was enough for the quantum bands to overload the entanglement and turn it off.

[@JeconB]

I believe the actual reason why only those three were switching was because the three of them, in some time of the comics, was Captain Marvel.
