Same here, I have a friend who's going on Thursday evening and asked if there were any extras thinking it would be next to impossible. The theater seating chart showed 80% empty, so I'm going on Thursday.

No, Brie. 2019 is about if the Avengers can reverse Thanos' snap and if Star Wars Ep. IX will be an improvement of the piece of shit The Last Jedi turned out to be. Get your damned priorities together.

At least there is an emotional attachment with the MCU, but with Star Wars the anger and resentment of the franchise has turned to apathy which is a death sentence.

Brie's divisive comments and attitude could potentially put the MCU in jeopardy as an automatic cash cow.

Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson: 2019 is About “Intersectional Feminism”

A lot of Marvel fans are excited to see the film, I hope that the hype will be worth the wait.

I like that it's getting positive reviews. It'll be important for this film to do well, I think. The MCU is unique in that it has created a pretty great backlog of interesting female characters.

The Scarlet Witch is a mega-powered but emotionally immature. The Black Widow came across in films like Cap 2 and Avengers 2 as someone doing what she can to survive. Gamora has the background of an assassin but the heart of a noble warrior. Mantis just wants to exist in freedom. And this doesn't even include Jessica Jones, who is Marvel's best-ever female but her role in the MCU is relegated to the Netflix street-levelers. Or the bloodthirsty Hela, or the whipsmart Shuri. The Wasp has a ton of potential, too, as her action scenes have been phenomenal.

The MCU has done such a brilliant job cultivating a good backlog of female characters in the background that I have a hard time thinking they can't push one to the front of a movie. I can't help but think the eventual Black Widow movie won't make gazillions of dollars, and there are tons of alternative arthouse possiblities with characters like Rogue, or Squirrel Girl, or Ms. Marvel, or Kate Bishop.

But all those characters have shades of subtlety and quirks. I think your cinematic universe needs a broad heart-of-gold character at its center for all the other idiosyncrasies to bounce off of. The universe of female characters needs Captain Marvel to land.

The MCU needs that character, too. For a decade-plus, it's been Chris Evans' Captain America. For the next decade, it'll probably be Brie Larson's Captain Marvel.

I'm sure this movie will at least be pretty good, based on the early reviews on Twitter. But if it's a smash success and a really good film, we're looking at an excellent decade-plus ahead, and a new generation of diverse superheroes from every walk of life, rather than the usual parade of white guys.

Thank you for this NPC barf that could have been spewed word for word from anyone at the marvel PR department. It really shows insight when you parrot things.

We get it. White guys bother you.

We'll see what happens. All the characters you mentioned are pretty much failures in the comics with an exception (rogue, who is rarely presented as a stand alone character) with constant cancellations and character repackaging, unlike the white men with decades of success that upset you so much. Other than that you're just naming a lot of characters who have been at the forefront of the absolute collapse of Marvel comic sales. Half of them are just self inserts by bad writers who have high opinions of themselves.

Captain Marvel has been a bad character. She's been cancelled/repackaged 9 times. She's less popular now than she was in the 70's in spite of being put at the forefront, loaded with mega powers, and presented as a flagship character.

This movie is like a 'last chance' to finally get something out of a character they've shoved down their audiences throat for 15 years with no success. On top of that if the MCU follows the comics' lead and get started with the non stop propagandizing with their typical SJW racism and sexism, the whole MCU will bomb. Their audience is made up largely of the white guys you revile so much. Man, it must be HARD to be made that uncomfortable by someone's white penis. How do you cope?

Reminds me of how Dr STrange recast the ancient one because they were afraid SJW's would call it a racist trope, and instead they complained about whitewashing. The reality? They WOULD HAVE complained about the racist asian trope! You can't satisfy them and they don't buy shit. They just want to control things. Stop bowing to them.

That doesnt' mean the movie is bad. Feige is a genius. If anyone can make it work, he can. I'll eventually watch it. I'm expecting the same tired marvel formula though so I'm in no rush.

A lot of this screams fragility that theres more going on the screen than what your familiar with. In your world, there would be no cultural breakthroughs of having a strong woman role or an all black cast or a mix of sexuality and race etc. You'd probably complain about if they changed Superman to Asian even tho Superman is an alien and could literally be anything. The world is changing. "Sjw" because they want to expand their audience and people who can relate to a movie is not a bad thing. This movie was actually really well written and acted. This is coming from someone who admittedly had to fight the classic "she's a girl - they're trying to hard to be just like a man -trope".

Stop being angry lol

+ There's a reason the main core audience is white and why there is a changing of the guard. Connect the dots chief.

It’s like the same people praising black panther for being the first black superhero movie. Have these reeruns not heard of Blade?

[keg in kc]

Looks like it might clear 150 mil. Not sure what point the bot-masters have been trying to make but it evidently didn't hurt the box office much.

Maybe see it Tues or Wed. Work this weekend.
