‘Captain Marvel’ is an aimless superhero slog
NY Post ^ | March 5, 2019 | Johnny Oleksinski

Posted on 03/05/2019 6:49:50 AM PST by C19fan

The latest instance of Marvel Studios wringing out every last drop of ink they can is “Captain Marvel.” Never heard of her? That’s because this is the character’s first appearance in a major film. Plundering the vault for lesser-known creations has paid off for the Disney-owned company so far: “Black Panther” made over $1 billion and scored a Best Picture nomination.

“Captain Marvel,” on the other hand, made an Oscar winner best known for playing a captive mother take on a role she is 100-percent wrong for while attempting to sell Jude Law to us as an action star like he’s a Louis Vuitton bag on Canal Street.

Unless the chick is Michelle Yeoh or Milla Jovavich, I’m not buying it.

My favorite is Gary Beagler with Nerdrotic.com (he has a YouTube channel). He used to work in Hollywood and ran a comic shop. He lives in San Francisco and rails against the leftist SJW and toxic feminist crap that is killing syfy and entertainment in general. Ironic in that he’s obviously left of center but he notes the censorship danger and the leftist indoctrination that is permeating everything. I started following him because he’s an old Whovian like me angry over the destruction of beloved franchises like “Doctor Who,” “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” by inept, talentless and soulless leftists.

Same here - and I hope she doesn’t figure prominently in End Game, but I fear she will.

Given that the end scene of the latest Avengers movie has Nick Fury paging her (her logo comes up on the pager at the end), I'm afraid she is going to be scripted to be the one who shows up and kicks Thanos around.

Captain Marvel is Marvel's version of Supergirl.

BOYCOTT this hate filled, hot mess of a film!

Brie Larson is a rabid, Feminazi, SJW who HATES MEN, especially W H I T E men.

She has come out numerous times and openly said she doesn't want men to watch it, so let's do exactly what she wants us to and avoid this SJW, "Wammin Power" movie like the plague,

Don't give a penny to these people who literally HATE US so they can use it to denigrate us while they spit in our face.

"Get Woke, Go Broke!" Send a message: go see Alita Battle Angel instead.

You can't trust the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes because the Rotten Tomatoes website is owned by Comcast and Fandango; it is nothing but a SHILL WEBSITE specifically designed to sell movie tickets.

This phony website is ROTTEN to the CORE, their "reviews" are WORTHLESS!

Rotten Tomatoes = ROTTEN to the CORE!

Because of Brie Larson's rabid, "Private Marvelous" SJW, "hate all men, ESPECIALLY W H I T E MEN" rants they are REWRITING AND FILMING an ALTERNATE ENDING to Endgame that nutters "Private Marvelous" and makes others the hero instead of this Feminazi, SJW, "Mary Sue" who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag.

Brie Larson's SJW hate fest has cost Marvel over 100 MILLION DOLLARS and counting!

Boycott this evil woman's film, and send a strong message; go and see Alita Battle Angel instead.

I'm pretty sure this stupid bitch is the "savior" of the Universe in "End Game."

Which is why I probably won't bother seeing "End Game."

LOL!

My son and I were discussing this. There is simply NO comparison between a man and woman.

An old favorite I reference is(From CBS Sports):

“FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team in a scrimmage.The match was in preparation for Thursday’s USWNT friendly versus Russia.

Apr 4, 2017at3:44 pm ET”

14-15 year old boys beat the best Woman’s soccer team in the WORLD 5 goals to 2. 5 to 2 is a WIPEOUT in terms of soccer. It tells me the BOYS backed off a bit and allowed the women to score a couple goals.

This result would hold true in EVREY TEAM SPORT. Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Volleyball, etc.. 14-15 year old boys are physically superior to grown women. Even the most exceptional women.

So they've been doing the feminist crap since 1977? Well they were liberals back then too.

The Character never amounted to much anyways. That's why they started the Marvel Movies with "Spiderman" instead of female "captain" Marvel.

late 70s after the first Marvel Captain Mar-vell died of cancer.

Carol Danvers (this marvel) was his girl early in the series. Character was modified umpteen times since then before settling on this iteration in late aughts.

Strictly Marvel Comics, as opposed to Fawcett’s (later DCs) Captain Marvel now known as Shazam.

This bozo must be an outlier. Rotten Tomatoes has it at an 85% rating, so it has to be good. Besides, it gives all the teenage boys a reason to come up from mommy and daddy’s basement for a little while and breathe some real air.

No thanks, when Josh Brolin did his thing at the end of the last super-mega-epic (fail), I disappeared from watching any more of this dreck along with a lot of Marvel characters. Feel the same way about the upcoming Social Justice Wars epic disaster.
