Yeah. This should go over as big as the old female Ghostbusters.
So Captain C*nt is going to be defeated by an 8 foot tall purple man played by a white guy?
LOL!
* = a
For anyone who is wondering, that word is “cant”’, mkay.
Let’s not have our minds wander off into areas that may proves offensive to the WAHMEN!
Why don’t they make a superhero who is trans, woman, m*slim, gay, Spanish-speaking and peanut allergic? No normal person would watch it.
I stopped following this franchise a while ago, but I thought the basic story arc was supposed to end with the next Avengers movie. I don’t know which heroes will end up permanently dead, but I think several of the actors want to move on to other roles.
I think it would be hard to find a “new Iron Man” or a “new Thor” or Black Widow or Captain America. If the actor has had enough, I don’t know if Marvel will keep pushing the character.
While I don’t see Captain Marvel having a bright future, I do think that future films will need to feature new faces. Just not Brie Larson. So I don’t really understand the notion that existing actors feel that they are being “pushed aside”. That seems pretty inherent to the plan.
But perhaps this is internal politics as people try to explain the debacle that is Captain Marvel.
Brie might be the biggest miscast in MCU history.
There is a huge Soap Opera going on behind the scenes here.
I had forgotten just how seriously sci-fi and Comic Book fans take their heroes. It’s one of those situations where if you don’t know all the mythology behind each episode, you’re clearly missing out.
In general, I am not a fan of these types of movies, but it’s still interesting to see how all is put together. It’s a Team Effort. Somebody needs to tell Miss Brie and Samuel Jackson to ‘Shut up and sing’.
“Captain Marvel” to me, was always the man in the red suit and the blue cape, with a lightning bolt blazoned across his chest, whose alter ego was the mild-mannered Billy Batson. When Billy uttered the word “SHAZAM!”, the vast powers unleashed changed him into the flying superhero (really a knockoff of Superman) that represented some REAL American virtues.
This new version of “Captain Marvel” is just a further erosion of that collapse of the promotion of American virtue and belief in the justice upon which this country was founded.
The Bush Rule is in effect.
“Pissing off your Base is NOT a winning strategy”
The amount of hype surrounding this movie is a red flag. Studios will often over promote big budget films that are not good enough to recoup the big budgets poured into them. Since I have been hearing and seeing Captain Marvel everywhere for at least the last month, I am guessing that the studio knows they have a flop on their hands. This is especially bad since this movie is supposed to have a major impact on the big Avengers movie coming out in the summer.
I think that Disney and Marvel are trying to mitigate their losses. They must realize that they have a flop when they need a blockbuster to lead in to Endgame. Their only hope now is to have a big enough opening weekend to offset the losses when bad reviews plus word of mouth tell people to stay away.
I just want to tick off a few counterpoints about this article. I am surprised there is a healthy anti Captain Marvel movement out there. However, I will be shocked if this movie bombs because there is such an incredible build-up with Infinity Wars and her planned role in finishing that story. Next, brie Larson is a leftist jerk - and so is every single one of the Marvel actors except for Chris Pratt. However, Brie Larson is a gorgeous young woman. I have been enjoying these articles attacking Marvel’s plans for a more liberal story line. However, despite the claims this guy keeps making and despite the fact that I despised The Last Jedi, that movie made an absolute fortune and it is not clear that it was the cause for the failure of Solo. However, I will note that the emergence of a gay Sulu along with a lousy script destroyed the Ztar Trek reboot, and that series may be finished even though they had the great prospect of a movie with Chris Hemsworth and the new Kirk. All of these actors are liberals. If you look at Black Panther, it had some pretty despicable references to black people being oppressed in the United States but that movie was also incredibly successful. I enjoyed it myself despite cringing at that nonsense. So we will see.
Captain Marvel will not bomb. The only question is whether it does Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man box office, or whether it does Black Panther box office.
“It’s like Kevin Feige is telling his MCU fans to accept Brie Larson and Captain Marvel — or else.”
I gladly accept “or else”.
Now, back to my “Gunsmoke” reruns...
Half the old cast is done anyway. And all the indications are Endgame sets them up for a retcon to slide in new versions of the characters (not just new actors but new back stories). Retcons are part of the Marvel way, that’s how Peter Parker stayed in high school for over a decade, Marvel moves forward the beginning of the story.
The problems is this character is a forced character not only in the MCU, but in Marvel’s comic universe as well... They keep trying to push her on the public, and the public, for the most part just ain’t buying it.
The character has ZERO depth, and is just another SJW, angry at the world, nothing....
There are far better female characters in Marvel and DC Universe than this one.. the public keeps rejecting her, but they just keep pushing her...
I am sure her movie will do fine, because its part of the larger MCU, but personally I know NO ONE, itching to see this movie... most will just because its part of the larger story, but this character is just a dud.
By the way the original 1940’s movie serial “Shazam” is on YouTube and well worth watching.
I’d heard that Rotten Tomatoes changed their policy about clicking, “Not Going To See It,” on their site because this movie was getting huge amounts of hate. They made it so there was no visible negativity on the movie’s RT page.
Interesting. Kinda like when Amazon monkeyed with reviews of Hillary’s book on their site.
A movie is a movie, however Brie Larson seems to think that she is still CM now that it is over and that playing (pretending) to be that character she now thinks everyone has to has to bow to her. Sad reality of Hollywood, too many people PRETENDING to be another person having delusions of adequacy.
My suggestion to all those who hate Marvel movies, or Star Wars, or anything like it:
Don’t go see any.
There, easy-peasy, no?
I’ve seen ‘em all, and will continue. I hate the actors—love the characters.
And face it, if we conservatives ban any movie or show with a Left-wing actor, NOTHING would be watched.
