It gets worse...
Based off the SJW Cpt Marvel comic that was rebooted four times in one year (or so) due to poor sales recently.
Isn’t this the movie I read about where in some city, the theatres were ONLY showing this one and not letting anyone else see any other movies?
I suspect that the response to this overhyped costume drama will be tepid at best.
Just imagine after the MCU and Star Wars movies conclude and the theaters go dark
“I spent Captain Marvel waiting for Gadot.”
Now that’s Absurd.
Of Course women rock and men suck. Is this even disputable?
We’ve just spent two hours watching her be utterly unfazed by anything.”””
Been saying this for a while now. Females in movies aren’t just ludicrous imitation men. They’d be ludicrous if they were men and and acted the way they act. Let’s just say Clint Eastwood should have jacked up to idiotic levels the sneer, snarl and menace in his man with no name performance and copyrighted it. He’d be making a fortune today...
It gets worse...
Oh, that’s the ticket, make her look glamorous....
GEEZ, use your head, whoever produced this picture.
While, thru the ages, Captain Marvel has been both sexes, this particular movie was made to teach a lesson to those of us that don’t adhere to SJW etiquette.
I flunked the lesson (I’ll miss this class).
Was this a secret code? What was this about. Nevermind I'll go on to the next article.
This movie had a lot of potential. Larson seems miscast here.
Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel is not - repeat: not - a Mary Sue. Perhaps this critic is not a comic fanboy, and does not understand the origin - or perhaps he knows and is being disingenuous.
Wesley Crusher of STNG is the quintessential Mary Sue (a.k.a., Marty Stu). Rey of Star Wars is almost as quintessential an example.
A Mary Sue is an adolescent prodigy who is superior to all trained adults without needing either the training or the experience.
Carol Danvers is a fully-grown adult with years of both Terran and Kree military training. She also has, depending upon the era, either Kree DNA by accident or by birth, giving her superhuman powers.
Danvers has been in the storyline since 1968. She became Ms. Marvel in 1977, with Kree powers. Mar-Vell died, and other females took the title before Ms. Marvel did. She has always been a deliberately feminist character from the beginning - for fifty years.
I suspect Brie Larson is miscast, and misdirected for political purposes. I suspect the narrative is overtly and repulsively leftist. I suspect I would not enjoy it as I did Wonder Woman (another deliberately feminist comic creation).
I plan to see Avengers Endgame, and then write off Phase 4 as simply paying Disney to bludgeon me with arrogant and offensive SJW propaganda, a la Star Wars.
But this reviewer is ignoring the actual etymology of the term, Mary Sue, and the actual history of the character, Carol Danvers - all to emphasize an otherwise valid thesis. That is as poor journalism as what leftists write.
Mary Sue was a character created for a satirical short story by a female Star Trek fan for a fanzine in the early 1970s (after cancellation, before major publishing and cinematic revivals).
P.S.
I once collected - long ago. I bought Marvel Super-Heroes #12 (debut: Mar-Vell) and #13 (debut: Carol Danvers) and Ms. Marvel #1 right off the stands.
P.P.S.
None of this - except for trademark rights - has anything to do with the character, Captain Marvel/Billy Batson/Shazam, of Fawcett and, later, DC fame.
Not a big fan of the MCU films anyway, so I will definitely give this one a miss. Ha ha.
Wonder Woman was a horrible movie - confused plot moved along by ridiculous CGI excesses. Glad I watched it pirated for free - would have hated to waste money on it.
