BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 OK. I just saw the movie and enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought Brie's portrayal of Carol Danvers was spot on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I saw Kelly Sue DeConnick has a cameo in the movie. That's pretty cool. I'm not exaggerating when I say she's become one of my favorite Marvel writers. Each of those CM runs are so good. I liked them even more than Coates's BP and Spencer's Astonishing Ant-Man, and I absolutely loved those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 This movie really got me fired up for some kind of Kamala Khan show or film. G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) First she triggers the incel movement and now she triggers the Fox news crowd by posing with a black man with a funny name? Well played Brie. Well played. Oh and movie was fun. Much better than a few others, not as good as a few others. Goose stole the show though.

I've read a lot of thoughts on it over the weekend and i still really liked it. Brie made Carol reserved but she never lost that cool. I suppose that makes some people feel disconnected since she doesn't have that rock bottom that most heroes hit and overcome. Her rock bottom happens prior to the movie and we are left with her basically discovering she's even more badass than the confident woman she starts the movie as. It's not perfect but it was very entertaining and enjoyable. It felt really fresh to me and like i mentioned, Bree just brings a swagger to it all. Spoiler Does Captain Marvel age in the comics? She didn't look much older in the credits scene for endgame, her hair was just longer and straighter. also, loved the Stan Lee tribute at the beginning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the power of the space stone and her ability to fly at the speed of light means aging doesn't happen normally for her. Plus I read that speed of light flying leads to something called time dilation where time slows down while traveling? So on Hala or C23 (😁) 25 years might have passed while she was just flying in both directions but she wouldn't have aged much. Also...do you think she was replying to this button press by Fury or one from the first or second Avengers movies when Earth was under attack? Who's to say he didn't summon her earlier? She is going to kick Thanos's ass either way. She's easily the most overpowered being in the marvel universe. I mean..unless Rogue shows up and steals her powers (and memory again).

But a great writer with sufficient creative freedom can make a dud character pretty good. Wish she'd have kept writing CM. I haven't read Mighty Captain Marvel yet, but I heard the new writers kind of wrecked her character. If true, that really sucks. DeConnick's version was a breath of fresh air and a worthy face for Marvel's newest age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, although there are a lot of continuity issues with her character. She has Kree DNA which gives her a Wolverine style healing factor. Probably the most adverse thing that can happen to her health-wise is that she has to regenerate her brain and organs from scratch and she loses her personality and memories, which has happened to her several times. Famously with Rogue putting her in a coma and stealing her powers, and most recently due to a brain lesion that Yon-Rogg gave her in the DeConnick run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 The aging thing seems like an easy thing to explain away. Or a minor detail to ignore. Either one is fine with me in this instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's easily the most overpowered being in the marvel universe. I mean..unless Rogue shows up and steals her powers (and memory again). I don't think she's any more overpowered than Thor or Hulk. The whole World War Hulk story line was such a friggin mess. Really didn't enjoy it. He literally defeats everyone with relative ease, including Strange and Sentry, and could have murdered every living thing on the planet if he'd wanted to. Plus he has a deathstar-like power to destroy planetary bodies themselves. Thor was the guy they created to fight him. Thor is so overpowered that they've usually had to come up with strange and somewhat contrived reasons for him to lose fights. Either emotional reasons or Odin being capricious or absurd turning back into a pumpkin at midnight style limitations like Mjolnr changing into an umbrella if it leave's Thor's hands for 60 seconds. There are a lot of other continuity-breaking characters/entities who are OP too. The aforementioned Odin, Silver Surfer, Galactus, the Beyonders, Molecule Man, Adam Warlock (a true Deus Ex Machina), etc. There is a reason beyond convoluted movie rights that those guys haven't popped up in the MCU.

Either one is fine with me in this instance. It's the cellular regeneration thing due to the healing factor. It's the same reason Wolverine ages extremely slowly. Her healing factor is probably even more powerful actually. I don't know if the Kree are as long lived as the Asgardians, but a little known fact about Thor and Asgardian physiology is that they're not actually immortal. They do quicken, but their life spans are extremely long. Thor Odinson is at least a thousand years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Colony Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I saw Captain Marvel this weekend and I enjoyed it. Goose did steal the show, and I liked all of the nostalgia including the music and how long it took to upload files, dammit! I enjoyed her dry sense of humor, and I guess that's what some reviewers are referring to when they call her dull or uninspired? It's not going to win any awards, but it's a good continuation (or prequel) of the story. Didn't like Earth being referred to as a ****hole, but it is what it is.

justice98 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Spoiler Based on the mid credits scene, Captain Marvel shows up pretty soon after the snap. So the whatever time jump there is happens AFTER Captain Marvel shows up. Cuz depressed Cap going to therapy happens then, judging by the clean shaven look. I'm guessing the gap in the trailer shot of them walking in the facility is Captain Marvel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to have time to regroup, find the pager in the middle of NYC, take it back to the lab, evaluate it and hook up the battery backup. It was likely running for awhile before finally dying. Cap's beard is trimmed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 What I would have loved was a Hawkeye & Black Widow movie in the style of Winter Soldier. Cap's franchise kind of took up the space that Widow and Hawkeye could have used to make a great film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'll still absolutely go and see the Black Widow movie though. Johansson can carry a movie for me. Especially if she gets to use her dry comedy chops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
