Not directed at you but every poster was negative. Im sure you appreciate movies. I wrote a positive Captain Marvel review here and got nothing but negatives. Sorry if I was over sensitive.
The Incredible Hulk’s first installment was so boring I couldn’t finish it. Haven’t seen Captain Marvel yet.
I’m sorry for jumping to name-calling. In fact, I’m glad to have the air cleared because I always feel bad when I go negative on someone. I don’t want any FR enemies (but don’t read my reply to Laz just in case!). I hope you enjoy the next phase in spite of my misgivings.
My comments - on various threads - were neither entirely positive nor entirely negative. I do not recall if I read yours or not.
I disputed anyone who called Captain Marvel a Mary Sue, or charged that she was a modern feminist/SJW product. I also opined that Brie Larson was not the best choice for the role, although I predicted it would be a $1 Billion blockbuster regardless of how good it was.
Mary Sue dates from the early 1970s Star Trek fanzines: a parody of the adolescent prodigies common in amateur short stories who were, without training or experience, superior to all trained and experienced adults.
Carol Danvers was a highly trained military service adult, first on Earth, then with the Kree. She gained powers from Mar-Vell’s DNA in an explosion of a Kree device.
As for the other criticism, first as an officer, then as a superhero, the feminist aspect was always a part of the character’s story arc.
I was collecting back in the 60s. I actually owned Marvel Super-Heroes #s 12 (Mar-Vell debut, 1967) & 13 (Carol Danvers debut, 1968), and Ms. Marvel #1 (Kree-empowered Danvers, 1977).
I also remember The Fantastic Four #2 (1962): the debut of the Skrulls. They were invading alien villains, ruthless and dangerous.
My big problem with the story - and the real SJW propaganda of the movie - was turning the Skrulls into innocent immigrant victims just wanting a home of their own.
The anti-MAGA metaphor was utterly flagrant, and a complete subversion of the Skrulls from their introduction at the virtual dawn of the Silver Age Marvel Comics - done purely for leftist political reasons.
You are free to enjoy the movie. As a former collector who really knows the source material first hand, I am free to criticize it.
