I didn’t have a problem with her becoming really powerful because of the time from when she got the powers until she really unleashes years had passed for her to feel them and learn about them. She didn’t know exactly what they could do but she did know they were more powerful than what she had been doing with them.

Well, it's made over $400 million opening weekend so it's done well enough to get the sequel and move along as planned.
Love it or hate it we'll see more of it and Feige's comments back that up. Disney isn't stupid - they learned from TLJ. They put the MCU's first SJW film right before what is perhaps the most anticipated film in history. Even if Endgame is a terrible movie it will hit $1 billion. It might do that it's first week. There will be no protest by fans who hated this film staying home for the next one. No one who enjoys the MCU is boycotting Endgame. Carl Manvers will have a successful origin move and will be in a successful Endgame movie. Disney has no motivation to change anything they're planning - and at the end of this moth the Fox deal is final. They'll have an entire Marvel universe to play with (minus exclusive rights to Hulk and Spidey) and you'll buy their product or walk away... |

THEY STILL DIDN'T EXPLAIN A GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR WHY FURY WOULDN'T HAVE CALLED HER IN FOR THE EVENTS OF AVENGERS 1, 2, or the START OF INFINITY WAR!....that's my only gripe still. Otherwise it wasn't too bad.

Chronologically, none of those had happened yet during the events of CM. If they explain that, it'll be during Endgame.

You have to let it go, by your mindset why weren't the Xmen, Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, etc in either of these Infinity War movies? Technically she told him it's only for emergencies; in Avengers 1 Fury had faith that the team could take down the threat, even telling his higher ups not to nuke the city when the invasion was going on so maybe it didn't reach "Emergency" level yet. In Avengers 2 they had the situation as under control as it could be and were down to destroying the floating city and evacuating it, not necessarily Captain Marvel necessity. Oh yeah and the last thing, because they hadn't thought to bring in Captain Marvel into the MCU when those movies were made and hadn't cast the actress yet.

It's an origin story, and to me it fell in line with other Marvel origin stories like Thor and the first Captain America movie and Black Panther in terms of quality (Iron Man is still the best origin movie of the bunch). Like the other origin stories, it's a good, solid, entertaining movie, but not in my top group of favorite Marvel movies. I have enjoyed all the Marvel movies, and I enjoyed this one, but it falls middle of the pack for me.

My review of the film is a C, if you were curious. I found it boring, and though the story was worth telling, they did it poorly. CM suffers from the same issue that super man does, namely that they are so ****ing powerful there is literally no reason to doubt they will win every time. Every story with them is a foregone conclusion. |

The only conceivable way that you can write an arc for Superman or Captain Marvel is to create tension and strife associated with their "human" aspect - as opposed to their powers. Resolution has no impact, purpose, or meaning without some form of personal struggle. In CM's case, that would involve some form of conflict dealing with a female. As a writer, this of course, leads you to consider something like menopausal cramps, or a kitchen cooking failure, or an online makeup purchase gone bad, or something similar. And if you do that the fanboys would hate it. FAX |
