Captain Marvel (March 8, 2019) - CAROL DANVERS CONFIRMED

[Xno Kappa]

Meh. I’m still gonna watch. I guess I just haven’t noticed any of this brewing since I don’t tweeter/social media.

[Tyrath]

Same, already got my ticket for friday.

[Delirium]

The movie is going to be great. Marvel Studios has shown they know what they are doing. Stupid gamergate, incels, and MRAs aren't going to change that. They are just pissing into the wind.

[Zealot]

Boggles my mind that in 2019 people would think Marvel is going to put out a bad movie. What are the worst movies they've made? Thor 2? Iron Man 2? Avengers 2? Even those are just "fine," and have good parts in them.

When a studio consistently knocks it out of the park as many times as Marvel does and decides that they're going to go all in on a new tentpole character, how could anyone think they're not in for a good time.

Welcome to sexist nerd culture.

Was there so much backlash over Wonder Woman?


Also incidentally. I saw a white chick on my bookface trashing Brie Larsen for being a terrible actor and not being up to Gal Gadot's standards and how Capt. Marvel was gonna suck and I couldn't quite wrap my head around what kind of dichotomy that came from

Oh yeah. WW was attacked as well.

Halle Berry is pretty terrible.

Gadot is an mid-tier actress at best. But she's hot as fuck.

[Kaslo]

I will say, I do want more people to go see Alita.

[Tyrath]

Rotten Tomatoes just started updating.

Currently at 91% from 68 reviews. Must be really bad am I right??

Same if only to get more decent adaptations. Unfortunately US market never really got up there though It seems it has been creeping up in the foreign market so looks like it will at least break even

Fuck you Thor 2 was terrible! I'd put IM 3 in there too though

But you forget the first MCU film... the one so bad we pretend doesn't exist and has had like 0 bearing on the greater story and we've even recast (though iirc that was more the actors fault)

That said I don't think there has been anything in Phase 3 that wasn't wildly successful. Bet they could do the Hulk and it do great now

Alita was terrible and suffers from the James Cameron touch. The story was garbage. Visually beautiful but awful.

Cool opinion bro

Seems like half of the movie theaters near me are showing only Captain Marvel all day this coming weekend lol. Got tickets myself, can't wait.

Iron Man came out before The Incredible Hulk bud.

And Incredible Hulk was fine as a movie too.

[Gredival]

This is one o the pitfalls with under-representation: all success or failure now gets treated as a question of viability.

It can't simply be that Captain Marvel turned out to be a bad film or that Black Panther was a good film. These movies necessarily now represent the "viability" of black and women leads in superheroes.

Compare that to how Thor: The Dark World was a flop no one was saying it was because stories about white guys weren't viable. When Ragnarok was a hit it wasn't because stories about white guys were the best. They were just movies.

We don't get past this shit until there's enough minority characters films that we can appreciate the quality diversity among them the same way we can with white character films.

Rumor: Disney CEO Iger & Elizabeth Olsen are Not Happy About the Film & Character
Iger Fears the Film will be Another "Last Jedi" & Olsen Wants to be the Face of Marvel Going Forward Instead of Brie Larson

James Woods Starts a Film Protest Wanting Filmgoers to See Alita Instead

Why the fuck is Olsen's panties in a wad? Hasn't it been the worst kept secret since around the time Age of Ultron wrapped that Captain Marvel was going to play a featured role in what is now End Game and be leading the Avengers once the new phase starts?
