‘Captain Marvel’ is an aimless superhero slog

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.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’m listening to “That Star Wars Girl” eviscerate Ms. Larson right now.

Are you in Uncle E’s livestream chats?

She wasn’t Captain Marvel until about 2014. There was a black female Captain Marvel in the ‘80s but the racists at Disney gave the role to a white. LOL.

Ms. Marvel. She didn’t become Captain until much later.

Rotten Tomatoes isn’t honest. Movie industry is now controlling it so as to eliminate bad reviews. Bad reviews cost them money, so they put a stop to allowing an honest assessment of a movie.

If people can not trust Rotten Tomatoes to deliver honest reviews, they will lose their dominant position in a heartbeat.

People love(d) Rotten Tomatoes because it is (was) a way to get honest, unfiltered information. If this is no longer the case, why would anybody look at their page?

Agree.
