I’m definitely going to that movie. Wonder Woman was in the DC Universe. CM is Marvel.

Women used to get star billing in most movies even though they weren’t really the protagonists.

I don’t know why some people are hung up about this movie. I’m guessing they think that Captain Marvel will be some sort of social justice warrior. I don’t think that will be the case, but I’m willing to give it a shot.

I’ve seen all the MCU movies except Ant-Man and the Wasp and Black Panther, both of which I will see eventually. Most that I saw were excellent, the worst were good. Solid good clean fun with lots of action, humor and great characters.

No doubt ifinnegan will show up at some point and tell us he/she doesn’t care, or wants to save the world from cultural rot. I understand that some people don’t get the appeal of these movies.

But they make a shitload of money.

“I don’t know why some people are hung up about this movie.”

It’s called hype, marketing.

Multi-millions are spent on it.

No one would care about their idiotic infantile movies otherwise.

I am not a comic book fan so these comics made into movies have little appeal to me.

However what does irritate me about this is Captain Marvel had established canon - a large body of work with the character as male. Ok Hollywood can’t stand the idea of Captain Marvel as a male character fine ignore the work. Retire it. Hollywood show some creativity and dream up a new superhero character. Show some of that artistic genius you’re always claiming that exists in Hollywood! Trouble is they won’t show any creativity because they can’t. It doesn’t exist here any more. Too easy to just copy! Just slide into the sea Hollywood you won’t be missed. At least in your present form.
