Correction: it's a cookie cutter origin movie that has to retcon some things in order to fit into MCU continuity.
Monker wrote:Yeah, it has issues, it's not perfect. But IMO, not nearly the fundamental crap that people are saying. IMO, Captain Marvel is as good as CA:TFA...and that's a good movie to compare it to.
No way. Ant-Man, maybe.

The entire point of the movie was to show CM breaking away from that training and freeing herself. So, when people criticize Brie for her acting, I have to question if they even realize what this movie is about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stoicism in a DC movie = bad. Stoicism in a Marvel movie = good. A card laid is a card played.
Monker wrote:So what about the eye. The funny part about that is dialogue toward the end where the entire incident became exaggerated. It's not bad writing at all.
Your double standard cannot be more transparent. Even people who like the freakin' movie have an issue with that. It essentially renders that one conversation between Fury and Rogers null and void. It renders it a joke. All you're telling me is you'd let KF bounce you on his lap.
Btw, the movie had seven freakin' writers on it. That's called "film by committee," just like Ant-Man & The Wasp, which practically everyone has already forgotten about.
Monker wrote:The movie has a lot of threads that were not well explored, just as Aquaman does. I would have like to have seen more Mar-Vell.
Aquaman is far and away the better movie. That's just how it is. Manta's coming back.
Monker wrote:i can understand why people may have wanted more backstory with Maria Lambeau...and more scenes with her daughter, if she turns up later in a movie. Korath and Ronan were kinda wasted. So, there are a lot of threads that are just not used very well.
Monica Rambeau. In the comics, she became Captain Marvel. If Danvers becomes Warbird/Binary later, Rambeau will become CM in the films, too.

Only stans insist it's a fine movie.
