Pre-ordered tickets for the 8th and decent seats were basically impossible to find in my neck of the woods.

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. |

Not that it means anything because it is still early. But I went to Pre-Order some tickets for my girlfriends kid and there was over half the theater still available. Was surprised I was able to get such good seats this close to release.

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.

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

"dear white men haters" - It seems as if she is addressing people who hate white men... no?
If she instead meant to insult and dis-invite men... shouldn't it have said "Dear white, men, and haters" instead? /edit - pointing out her bad grammar... not defending her position at all Last edited by Mephistopheles Janx; 03-05-2019 at 03:29 AM.. |

People are just tired of being called racists, misogynists, etc 24****ing7.
It's on TV every god damn day. Somewhere, someone or something is racist. Gets old pretty quick. There's a war vs the white conservative male in this country...and leftist celebs like Larson are very much part of the problem, and ever since Trump won, their whines and crying have gone into hyper-drive. The media/Hollywood/ and now pro sports have created this environment and its pushed down our throats daily. Last edited by CoMoChief; 03-05-2019 at 02:50 AM.. |
