I had to LOL.
Team arrives on an alien world...
Colonel O'Neill: "Oh, look. Pine trees." swiping the branches aside as they head down into an "alien" gravel pit.
I saw this review but there were also a lot of positive reviews. Most reviews say the Muslim girl is the best thing in the movie. The villain apparently is weak at best.
A lot of these negative reviews say the original Captain Marvel movie and character were so unlikable. I don’t agree with that.
I do agree the Marvel movies have run out of steam, and at this point super hero movies pretty much sucked the life out of the movie industry. It’s a shame when many of us grew up appreciating great stars and great dramatic films.
Its explanation is simple and I saw it coming decades ago.
Movies (their cretors) became more interested in social messages as opposed to entertainment, it’s progressed to the point with leftists in charge, liked Kennedy with Lucas Films, only care about the indoctrination.
This South Park clip is perfect—-and I have to add many people, shockingly even some of FR still cling to the idea movies are never biased politically:
So much for Kathleen Kennedy’s approach for all Disney movies: “put a woman in it and make her gay!”
I’m not going to watch Marvels/Disney’s vagina monologs.
I was a fan of the MCU, but I’m not going to feed the beast anymore
IMHO, the streaming revolution is what is killing the movies, but I’m tired of grousing about the streamers and will let that go for today.
I don’t pretend to be an expert, but a lot of the people I read and listen to think that Disney is a lost cause. Increasingly I tend to agree. All of the streamers suffer from wokeitis, but in Disney’s case the problem seems to go deeper than that.
At this point, I incline towards the view that Disney won’t survive in the long run unless there is a shareholder revolt, a takeover of the Board of Directors by people determined to reverse course, a wholesale purge of senior management, and a determined, sustained effort to clean house at lower levels. And at Disney, the cancer is so widespread that the company will have to be substantially rebuilt from the bottom up.
The other streamers are a mixed bag. Some are worse than others, but I occasionally find movies worth recommending. (Many of the best are independent or foreign films that they’ve picked up for distribution.) But Disney is in a death spiral. It needs a Board coup.
I remain blissfully unaware of the train of toxic burning dumpster fires turned out by woke Pedowood.
I rather liked he TV show “Ms. Marvel” with Iman Vellani. It was fun, and didn’t seem to take itself too seriously.
Brie Larson just seems to be constipated the entire time she’s on the screen. I (accidentally, because I had it on in the background) listened/watched Captain Marvel last night, and it was boring BECAUSE of her.
I’ll end up watching this - but only for Iman Vellani, but not at the theater. I’ll wait til it’s on Disney+. Until I cancel that subscription because it costs too much.
