What on earth does anyone who has seen a Marvel movie think they’re gonna see here that’s new?

Yeah. That’s what I have heard from others: it’s about 3 out of 5 stars. A little lazy in the writing, a bit too much (but not obnoxiously so) feminist, and an OK diversion. Given it is part of the MCU, it will make a boat load of money. Heck, I may even go see it. Marvel could have done better, but this is not a Star Wars level epic fail. Won’t hurt the franchise.

Unlike the Mary Sue in Star Wars, Captain Marvel’s power is justified by here backstory (alien) and cannon. Just saying...

With sites like Fandango should be easy enough to check, if a cinema does reserved seats. Some enterprising journo can buy tickets to a few close to sold out showings and see if there are real butts in the seats.

It’s instructive that the left - which always mocks the alleged intellectual inferiority of conservatives - is now cranking out an endless series of movies based on comic books.

Of course they like women who act like men: They then don’t have any real responsibility to them. They don’t have to support them in any way or defend them. The women are “strong” and fully autonomous. Guess what’s the only thing the women actually need them for...?

Plenty of movies are fantasy projections for the audiences.

If this one is a fantasy projection for women there are plenty of movies that are fantasy projections for men, and I'd wager that those movies are far more popular with men than this one is with women.

If you want to psychoanalyze one group, the diagnosis for the other won't be very different.

I think the backlash gets delayed, because Endgame is a must see. The reviews from those I respect and have similar taste confirm MCU is moving to wokeness. They could salvage or savage Endgame. Either way it likely is the end of an era.

EWwwww

Didn’t invest in the studio or a movie theater.

Why is boxoffice take news?

How many units did the top physical album sell last week?

It matters just as little to the same sector of society.

I suspect the poster meant inflating women’s physical strength, speed, and agility up to any beyond that of men to further the goals of the Left in asserting that women can do anything physically that a man can.

Captain Marvel is a deus ex machina for Endgame.

Going to be predictable and contrived unless they bring in Rogue (Disney has the rights now, “Oh, Boy!”). Will be predictable even then, but a lot more interesting.

I’m fully preparing for Endgame to equal the Last Jedi. I think I may end up going with Thanos was right and Infinity War was the end. I think that way with Force Awakens. Rey was of some great Jedi lineage and the destruction of the Star Killer was end of the First Order. No TLJ to muck it up.
