Well, it looks as if the MCU has out done itself, like this ended up being double the length of the normal rant breakdowns but there is so much to lay out, hope you enjoy it folks ;) /
The rudimentary research into space travel at light speed, amounts of solar systems and planets and all that is totally something I recommend people look into to get more accurate numbers, I just did a few google searches with Fringy and checked a couple of websites. It seems I might have underestimated the distances and made a few mistakes that makes it all seem smaller than it is but that would only make the overall point more relevant; Light speed just aint gonna cut it, not by a long shot when it comes to travelling between galaxies.
1:10:32 Damn you REALLY need to take an astronomy class. The galaxy has billions of star systems, not 500. AND our solar system is 8 light hours, not 2.5 light years. edit: I consider this a personal attack
You can't tell that light speed traveler how fast they can go. Don't you try to keep them down. A woman's light speed is much faster than a man's light speed anyway.
I love how a big part of the story is that shes "too emotional" and she "needs to control her emotions." But she puts almost zero emotions into the role.
Yep, only covers the monotone part of her personality. Whereas the animated CM in the 2010s, she's a badass in the battlefield and the fun big sister when she's Carol Danvers.
I have very little control over my emotions. It is something I have struggled over my whole life. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy affect me the most. This is not what being "too emotional" looks like. Like, when she was a kid in the kart racing accident, she should have been fuming or bawling or ANYTHING besides having a blank face. During the scene where she was sparing with the other guy in the beginning of the movie, she should have been defeated despite her powers because her judgement was clouded by how emotional she was. Maybe she accidentally hits someone or breaks something in a fit of rage at being worse than the other guy. I can't sense any emotions in this character, especially not any that are "too emotional" to the point of hampering her.
She is absolutely not a realistic and relatable strong female character for several reasons. 1. During her derby race as a kid, she really did need to slow down on the turns. But because she was immature, she ended up nearly break in her neck from bad judgement. Her dad, who not only let her race but also most likely helped her practice, yelled at her for good reason. "You don't belong out there!" Translation: "If you are going to be reckless, you don't need to be doing this." 2. The group of men mocking her on the obstacle course are heckling her to motivate her. Has no one seen a military movie before? Has no one hung out with a group of men before? EVERYBODY gets heckled and mocked in training, because it's character building. Tough Love. If she was so immature and self-victimizing to realize that she was not the only person being verbally harrassed, she doesn't belong in the military. 3. The message of her being "too emotional" is a jab at women being more empathetic and verbally high context. She is not emotional! She is overly sensitive and incapable of taking criticism. That's not emotionality! 4. I have had far more criticism and bullying from other women growing up. I could count on one hand how many times I was bullied by a man on one hand. Half of them were just off color jokes that went too far, and the others was one particular boy who was obnoxious. 5. She is sooooo arrogant! I cringe internally and externally any time she makes an executive decision. Legitimately, if she were a man acting that way, that character would still be a massive jerk. My best example isn't from this movie but in End Game when she tells Rocket from Gaurdians od the Galaxy, "Earth isn't the only planet that needs help." Oh, really, Cpt Meh-vel? You're going to to tell the person who has literally been traveling the universe helping different planets, too? This is why mansplaining ia not a thing.
Your points 1 and 2 are actually points on which they could have done legitimate subversion. Have her slowly come to realize that those things weren't people telling her to quit, but teaching her what the price of persistence would be. Have her begin to remember the full context of those broken memories--and how she only remembers the hurts she felt, not the things that came right before and after. And instead of "Just a Girl" playing in the background of her triumphant and unstoppable rampage, every time she falters, she hears an echo of someone encouraging her, someone supporting her, and THEN she gets her second wind. She's no longer afraid of failure; she becomes the hero everyone knew she could be, and she was the only one who ever doubted. Every other Avenger basically becomes who they are because someone believed in them and helped them--Yinsen for Tony, Odin for Thor, Betsy for Bruce, Erskine for Steve, Clint for Natasha. If anything, needing the support of others makes her MORE of an Avenger.
@@bitchpudding8104 you took the spot or a more competent male pilot so you could fill a diversity role. Of course men belittle you. Because they fucking know you are a liability.
@@flyufoolz Frustration, confusion, anger, happiness, sarcasm. MauLer displayed more emotions with his voice exclusively that Larson did not display with her entire being.
Mauler's problem here is, not only does HE remember prior films in the series, and even prior scenes in this film, he expects the writers of this film to do so also.
Yeah doesn't he know from all the marvel sheep is consume content and don't ask questions. That's why we love marvel because they dont care about the project or their audience. It's cool
@@bananaboi9067 Sure. Whatever. Except that marvel fans are some of the harshest critics of the MCU. Are there diehards that will just be happy with anything that they get? Sure. By and large, though, they are not happy and they are letting the MCU overlords know it.
@@daverobson3084 wtf is the MCA? jokes aside, you're coping hard. Marvel fans are some of the least thinking sheep of any fandom in the world. Why do you think marvel movies still make money? The fans.
Just watched this again at random. Here's a fun thought. I'm a former Marine Corps aircrewman and I work for a USAF fighter squadron as a civilian now. I start with this to establishment my credentials on the subject of call signs. I hear my call sign more than my name on any given day of the week. So here's the skivvy. If you have a bad ass call sign like "AVENGER"... your squadron is taking the piss out of you. Like, I met a guy with the call sign "HAMMER" once upon a time. As in "Dumb as a box of". Heard of another guy, Tomcat driver this time, with the call sign KILLER. Guess what he did? Friendly fire accident. Don't have the details on that one, but I assume no one died or he'd not have continued to fly, but his squadron, and every squadron he was with till he got out? Made sure he never forgot that fuck up. So. As a fun shower thought exercise for the day dear reader, what stupid thing did Plank do to earn the call sign "AVENGER"?
I love the college grade debate point though, "you need to watch it yourself to judge though". No. It's cute, and works in theological debates, but i'm sure as hell i don't want to get bitten by a shark, because i'm informed enough to know it's bad, before hand. I'm not going to put myself in a sharks mouth, just to make an armchair theologian feel warm and happy. I'm not giving these guys a dime to watch it. I'm so confident in my decision, i won't even watch it when this flop gets HD rips on the stream sites. (notice how good films take ages to come out in decent quality, but the flops are there in HD from the get go.) I won't watch it for free, i won't watch it if they offer me a free ipad or some other bribe. The film from the get go is toxic, and i'm not going to spend money to go see it, to satisfy somebody, that ultimately, still won't respect my opinion, but ultimately MCU will see a sale, and think "nope, we still made bank, we did ok". All this movie has done, is make me panic that if Brie Larson is really, "carrying the torch" now, Endgame might not hit the potential it could have, say, in an extended universe without Brie Larson. Remember guys, celebrity is a platform, where she's responsible for pushing her agenda. God i loved Jeremy Renner's response to that.
My question is, if Plank was that much powerful, she had very neat chances to hold gauntlet and snap in Endgame. Why she didn't take that responsibility and let superpowerless Tony die?
ᛈᛖᛏᛖᚱ ᚷᚱᛖᛖᚾ i would also sign, it wouldn’t be too late for a petition for the digital and blue ray release to have it. I just hate the logic of why they decided to use the intro with captain marvel instead, a movie a lot of people hated and didn’t want to see.
It is the *first* Marvel movie after Stan's death. It is best to remember him as soon as they have the opportunity. Following this logic, his intro can be in any big movie by Marvel, not just Endgame. There will be bigger movies. Movie is kind of good if you forget there's Brie Larson in it. C'mon, young Samuel Jackson!
So now Secret War has happened, the Kree have been proved completely right. The Skrull aren't refugees fleeing persecution there are millions of them and they do seek to infiltrate planets and take them over. They've managed to turn this movie completely on it's head. Who knows if the Skrull were telling the truth about not being able to find another world. For all we know Captain Marvel has allowed the Skrull to infiltrate thousands of worlds and now they've returned to take the earth too.
I just discovered this guy, and he is hilarious! My favorite line was "This has been nail-biting". I love that he doesn't act outraged like a lot of other content creators. He just oozes disdain for bad movies and points out their flaws with unforgiving common sense.
@@finrodbrs If one compares Captain Marvel to Captain America, it's like comparing Saitama to Mumen Rider in One Punch Man; one is powerful to the point of being impossible to get any drama out of, while the other faces impossible odds and keeps getting back up even when knowing that he can't win. Except unlike One Punch Man, the Captain Marvel movie lacks the self-awareness to emulate this.
@@joshuakim5240 Saitama never backed up either. That is why he got beat up at first. Its just that the opponents just can't keep up. He even mentioned that on both seasons of the anime. First time was to Genos, the 2nd time was to Blizzard.
“Plank is slow retrieving her memories as well as her personality” paired with the visual air quotes has broken my brain. I laughed out loud for a solid minute. 👏
I wish I could understand the writers of these movies. They're so uncreative. 'The protagonist is a girl, so we must center the story around her being a girl'. 'The protagonist is black, so we must tell a story about racism, colonialism and prejudice'. 'The protagonist is Asian, so we must tell a mythical story with lots of martial arts and zen BS'. I mean, isn't it a bad message placing these characters exclusively in this kind of story? As if they didn't have any other stories to tell? Such a terrible concept.
The irony is they create their own racism the reason why white characters have been more interesting in the MCU and it's not the racism of the fandom it's the racism of the marvel team. Like you said when they write for a girl character it must be about her being a girl or a black character being about the black experience. I remember when Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out Falcon's entire personality changed from a practical soldier and friend with a sense of humor and honored to take Cap's shield in Endgame to a jaded black guy who saw the shield as a symbol of American racism as soon as the series started. Then he can't get a loan from the bank because banks are supposedly racist in real life, even though in-universe it makes no sense since he's a celebrity superhero who does government contract work that pays in the mid-6 figures. That's like telling me Lebron James can't get a loan because of racism what bank would be stupid enough to Incur that kind of negative publicity. They always end up writing women and minorities down to their immutable characteristics which makes them one-dimensional and often the character's on-screen life circumstances are incongruous with the average person in that demographic so often the allegory is lazy and contrived like Falcon's bank issues he is not an average black man, therefore, he will not have an average black man experience. Meanwhile Straight White characters actually have to be a character with motivations flaws and desires because the writers don't have immutable characteristics to fall back on as a shield against criticism do they actually have to put in the work to make the character interesting. There whole lack of good diversity accepted by the Fandom is a self-made problem and then they victim blame the fans for not eating up the vomit they spew onto us.
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx The first and second statements actually combined in a pretty good fantasy movie set in a world called The Earth, on a continent called Africa, where a country that was THE LARGEST slave seller was located and they made the movie about how Europeans are racist and how europeans kidnap africans from their homes and turn them into slaves etc. It's called The Woman King and the actual history of the kingdom has terrifying implications for our assumptions nowadays.
By focusing on the thing that makes them different from the white male they create racism and sexism. Because they keep reducing the characters to that single trait. When you watch a movie or play a game or do dishes or do laundry or bring out the trash or bring your kids to bed nobody cares about your genitals or skin color. It doesn't define people. Yes it's part of their identity, but not the only part.
I mean this is literally a girl who becomes absolutely crazy anytime a boy talks to her wether it's an advice, compliment, criticism or insult... and somehow she thought it was a good idea to enroll in the military where everyone is shouted at ? She doesn't seems like someone you'd want to work with in a life or death situation lol
Extremly easy fix for the whole power limiter thing: Instead of telling plank that the patch gives her her powers the kree could have just told her that her power is in fact her own, that she is a mutant or something along these lines and that this patch is in fact a power limiter. But they gave her that power limiter because the power she got is far too great for her body to bear with it and without the limiter her own power would destroy her and everything else within a hundred kilometers radius. This would make for a far more believable story, paint the kree in a benevolent light, explain why noboy else has this power, leverage planks own professed goodness against her taking the patch off and the kree could even use the excuse of trying to help plank control and/or extract her power to experiment on her with her consent!
The Stan Lee intro was probably the best part of the film. He just enjoyed having cameos in movies. Even two days before he died he said if he could he would keep doing cameos. 13:35 Thanks, Stan.
It could have been a story depicting the conflict between the Kree, the Skrull, and a young Nick Fury thrown in between, forced to figure out just what his place is among these alien factions, having to come to terms with realizing that humanity isn't the masters of the universe but more like an ignored puppy on a backwater planet. The Kree were superadvanced, their motivations were intentionally kept shallow, but their motivations were what started this entire mess in the first place. Their motivation is effectively the one thing that can be considered the true antagonist (not the figurehead antagonist that needed to be propped up against the cardboard protagonist), but we barely get anything to understand it. They didn't want us to understand the story or appreciate the foundations - they just slapped together a foundation and assumed that because the mainline story was already accepted, whether it made sense or had any depth didn't matter. The Kree/Skrull conflict was used as a framing device for the protagonist, but somehow even when it is neglected, it is more interesting than the protagonist. The director or writer was apparently so obsessed with making the movie revolve around the lead actress that they never considered what a prequel movie could have actually done for the big picture. If they had any consideration for making it an interesting story, they could have at least put her through an actual arc, or else use her a framing character to make the Kree/Skrull conflict or the other lead characters more prominent. But in tried and true fashion, this wasn't about the big picture or about the team, just about the leading lady.
excuse me, but as an Ed Edd and Eddy fan, calling this woman "Plank" is grossly offensive, Plank has much more charisma and screen presence than this board does.
I have to point out that while Carol was away for 25 years, she was traveling at light speed, which means for her the travel was instantaneous. That’s why she hasn’t aged and reacts like she just saw Fury yesterday. Because for her she probably made the journey in an instant, helped the Skrull set up for a few months, headed back at light speed, and got Fury’s message on the way. I know I know it’s contrived, but this bit of science actually does work.
The thing is, light speed is not instantaneous. Her power accident making her super long lived is totally fine for me. No need to doctor anything around there.
The nearest star to us is called Proxima Centauri and lies roughly 4.25 light years away. So if she went there, did some quick business and came right back, at the speed of light, it would take her 8.5 years.
She's like the reverse Tony Stark. In Iron Man, Tony starts off as a snarky, sarcastic and egotistical guy who becomes humbled and heroic when he undergoes a life changing event and gets his power. Carol Danvers starts off as a passive, down to earth girl who becomes really cocky and arrogant once she gets her powers.
Stark does not "get" "his power" He builds a conbat suit thats ahead of its time. He builds a powersourcs, in a cave, to power it. Stark did not get shit handed to him. He build it. He build it and almost died from it. He learned lessons in Iron man 2 and 3. he grew. cpn plank did nothing. she just ran from setpiece to setpiece. . .
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Maybe "get his power" wasn't the best combination of words to use, but you still get my point. From the start of the movie to the end, Tony Stark's characterization progresses while Carol Danvers' characterization regresses.
Danvers was never passive, even in the flashbacks. She went from cocky and arrogant ordinary human to cocky and arrogant human with Superman powers. Whereas in "Iron Man", Stark went from snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy to slightly less snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy with a super suit. It wasn't until "Infinity War" that that "snarky, sarcastic, egotistical" was finally decimated out of him.
Ti My Disney: *Unburies Stan's body from his grave, shoving a hand up his rear - making his body into a puppet.* Hi, comic lovers! Go checkout Captain Marvel! Excelsior!
Let me just 🤓 for a sec In the comics, they’re fucking terrifying. The ability to replicate any metahuman on sight. Super Skrulls have the ability to mimic super human abilities on sight. They’re known as planet conquering creatures that tear up societies by infiltrating them as perfect replicas and essentially fucking with them to extinction. MCU Skrulls might as well be damp mops by comparison
Brie Larson is a good actress, this movie just really didn't work with her and she wasn't trying her best. But casting her was a good idea in plan, just wasn't executed as well as it really could've been. She's got the credentials to back her talent up, just this movie was a miss for her. As a person, she's pretty meh, but as an actress she's talented, just not in this.
@@LevatekGaming She is. She's pretty good at what she does. I know awards don't mean a whole ton, but it's worthy to note that she has an Oscar under her belt. Don't get me wrong, James, she wasn't good in this movie. I'm just saying that she isn't a bad actress. No comment is invalid by the way, especially when you just don't agree with it.
I recently watched the entirety of the show just for old time's sake. Not only did plank have some solid screen presence, but also legitimate characterization. Plank has been shown to be caring, loyal, protective, scheming, moderately aggressive, opportunistic to the occasional treachery, and quite possibly actually sentient. Literally a cartoon block of wood in 2000s children's entertainment media that was created from a dare has more character than this lady.
I'll still never understand why characters like Captain Marvel get movies. The character that has become more or less a meme at this point at the amount of comics of hers cancelled and relauched due to consistent low sales yet despite that Marvel can call her one of their most ''popular'' characters.
I wonder if it's a half-truth, like "most popular" means selling the most comics or something, and Captain Marvel sells tons of comics because she makes dozens of runs that sell a bit, as opposed to fewer-but-longer-running series for other famous characters.
They're trying (and failing) to create their own Wonder Woman. They don't understand that while Wonder Woman is a badass she doesn't *act* like a cocky badass. Wonder Woman is nice, friendly and outgoing so people like her.
Was I the only one that laughed when that boy tried to help her by telling her to slow down on the kart and then she speeds up and explodes. That was genuinely hilarious
It was at this moment 41:02 that Mauler finally used Youngledor in a way that made it sound like it was the real characters name. He was irritated at Plank. It sounded so smooth.
he thinks of Jude Law as his Harry Potter performance. I think of his roles in Gattaca, AI and Sherlock Homes. And in the last one he starred with Robert Downey Jr. Which could've been a fun reference if his Kree character and Tony Stark run into each other.
I find it quite funny how in the 80’s we had a better female protagonist in the alien series (ripley) who had flaws but was still a strong female character and 40 years later when women rights is a major deal now, they put less effort into making good female characters. Just bc a woman needs help in a situation doesn’t mean that they are looking down on her or making it a “damsel in distress” trope, tony stark needs help numerous times throughout his movies as well as the avengers movies, same wth Thor, captain America, etc. Idk why it’s such a major thing to have a moment of weakness in a female character when it’s clear they have no issue doing it for the male characters of the franchise. Imo it’s actually more sexist to do it like that and act like this is ok. Disney as well as Hollywood as a whole needs to get this through their heads tht watching perfect characters be good at everything isn’t entertaining, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, I just want to watch an entertaining marvel movie wth good comedy, solid action, relatable heroes and ridiculous villain plots.
Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men. The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles. "Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?" "We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country." Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country. Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010. "It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."
Larson: I did my own stunts because I thought that's what everyone did. Hemsworth: Yeah, we got the next Tom Cruise here. Larson: How about I'm the first me, thank you VERRRY much Oh Brie, you're such a treat
Calling Bree Larson the next Tom Cruise is insulting to Tom Cruise. The man has pulled of insane stunts on a level that only Jackie Chan can beat (to my knowledge).
Rewatching this right after finishing the secret invasion EFAP. The moment when you realize that this movie now belongs to the better half of the MCU...
My personal highlight was, that she got handcuffed in the beginning to prevent her from using her powers before she broke the handcuffs by... using her powers really hard. perfect writing. 10/10
That's genius level script writing mate. They teach you that shit in writing school. This whole movie could be a full semester class on how to execute a flawless screenplay/film.
@@dodojesus4529 I like Dragonball but two things are hilarious; wait/holdout for Mary Goku and yelling/getting mad makes you infinitely more powerful depending on the plot.
@@Soridan I can't even tell if this is a joke or if your serious. Are you talking about Captain Marvel's superiority complex or the way men are portrayed in the story just to make her look good.
I saw this movie in theaters with my mother. When we drove home, she argued with me the entire time because I told her I didn't like how Plank's character was reckless and arrogant. Oops
It could have worked if the story/script acknowledged her flaws. They could have even suggested some social disorder caused by childhood trauma or something. She's like an antisocial narcissist who happens to want to save the world just to prove her own strength to everyone. Would be much more interesting than pretending she's perfect
Hell, The LEGO Batman Movie played with this concept by having the protagonist be a sociopathic loner obsessed with his identity as Batman rather than Bruce Wayne. And it while it was played for laughs, it wound up making him a relatable character who you rooted for. But nooooooo, we had to get writers who think people are just born perfect and are grown in a vat.
That is actually a great character flaw and plot point. her obsession with proving her self leads to arrogance and her not acknowledging that you have to fail to be able to succeed. The whole idea of her being able to stand back up and continue, which seems to be a big theme of the movie, could've been explored. Because after you get back up, you try again. And you do better.
I remember when i watched endgame, every time someone appeared, everyone was going nuts.Then captain marvel appeared, and the theater simply became silent. It was really funny, and made me happy to see that most people hate that character.
The same thing happened at my theatre, except there was one woman who clapped. It was hilarious, because when everyone showed up through the portals, man, woman, creature, the whole theatre went nuts.
My main take away from this is that Coulson is a cheeky bastard and got bored after 20 years and decided to screw with Tony and Pepper for a few years by saying the whole thing 🤣
True Lies know what it is and plays with it. It's a great movie that deconstructs, but also emphasises action hero and spy thriller tropes. It can be funny, it can be serious, and uses both at appropriate times.
@@charmandyorton006 Every time I see or hear that name, I think of Johnny 2x4 from Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. This also offends me, because the True Plank of Edd, Edd, n' Eddy has a GREAT range of emotion.
The movie gets worse when you realize at the end Shield had everything they needed to make Captain Marvel super humans for over a decade. They had the light speed engine blueprints, the funding to rebuild the engine to make the space goo, the cube and literal armies of potential heroes to sort out and find the right people. That makes the Captain America super soldier serum worthless. F$&@ this movie!!
It's almost like this is written by a fan fiction writer who had almost no understanding of the franchise they were creating this for and just wanted to ret-con and add their super-awesome characters willy-nilly without actually considering the world they're entering into and how this affects everything. It reminds me of a film that was released in 2015 and a sequel in 2017, but I can't quite put my finger on which movies those are.
@Christopher Marlowe Funny story; I started watching Agents of SHIELD when the show was new; the first episode I saw was episode 3. My thoughts on it were, "This is okay, though the dialogue is overly-quippy. This show could become something really good." That was probably its best episode in retrospect. I gave up after season 3. Also that season 1 episode was the one that had Graviton. I waited for all of season 1 for him to come back. I was thinking, "He has to escape that gravity goo and become Graviton; if he doesn't get out soon, they'll have to explain how he survived for all that time. And if they forget about him, I'll be disappointed." I was disappointed.
Fun fact: the Gatling gun was originally intend to end wars. RIchard Gattling thought that if people realised how powerful his gun was that they would stop fighting out of fear. Also to get less people dying because when he did field medic things or something he noticied how there were less people dying of bullet wounds than of diseases so he thought that if there were less people shooting at each other (because the Gatling gun could fire lots more bullets with less people) that less people would die.
Carol’s relationship with Jude Law (don’t remember his character’s name at all) should’ve been given more development and focus. From what I remember, he was like a mentor to her. Why was he so significant (according to the movie) to her, evil or not? Why did he take her to his planet when she got her powers? What did she mean to him? Why keep her alive? Why did he give her HIS blood? Are they just mentor and student or friends? Why was her blast in the desert such a “comeback” when he demanded she fight fairly? To the point where she felt the need to say she has nothing to prove to him. He clearly meant something to her at SOME point because otherwise that line feels meaningless.
"Hey you should go slower around corners" **Speeds up because girl power** **Crashes and receives severe injuries** "YOU DON'T BELONG OUT HERE" Ladies and gentlemen, that's the best they could come up with. People went to college and paid thousands of dollars to learn how to write a script and that is the dog shit motivation they came up with. God I love that.
How about the fact that they hamfisted their way through an entire movie of in your face annoying feminist rhetoric and then capped it by playing "im just a girl" over the finale and NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON said "hmmm do you think MAYBE this is a bit on the nose? Maybe we should lighten it up a bit and let the audience do SOME work?" NOPE You could ask a toddler who has yet to speak their first words if that is good writing and they will still manage to articulate the words "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK no." And yet someone made a CAREER with that level of skill.
This is what happens when idiots get paid to push agenda driven by other idiots so idiots on social media can get their social justice fix just for the sake of false internet fame points and stories told over a pumpkin almond milk latte. POOR WAMEN, MONSTER MEN! And obviously we say this because we are misogynist dickheads and not because this movie is just a pinnacle of terrible. Welcome to the fucking XXI century.
You don't understand! The boy is obviously an evil sexist trying to use reverse psychology on her because he knows she won't trust his advice to slow down around corners and would instead speed up to get ahead of him so that she can teach the sexist boy a lesson about 'splaining to a woman, and it is this evil patriarchal tactic that won this sexist misogynist racist capitalist trump supporter white trash incel the race. /s
funny how everyone in the movies criticism of her is "she's too emotional" when she always only ever shows the same emotional range of a plank of wood.
I honestly think it was intentional. A historical Trope is that women have always been told that they are emotional, subject to hysteria, etc... so the point in the movie is that she is still told that, even though she displays absolutely no emotional range. So yeah, I think it was intended; just wish they handled it differently
Apparently being overly sensitive, arrogant, and incapable of taking criticism is translated at emotional instead of just immaturity. Instead of, you know, trusting her emotional reasoning or being compassionate to a fault.
I think what is often meant with "emotional" isnt that a character is displaying emotions strongly, but rather that they base their decision making on emotion instead of reason. And in that regard, lots of the stuff that Captain Marvel does can be seen as "emotional", as she often makes quick, impulsive decisions that are not well thought out. The problem is that the movie usually rewards her for acting like that, instead of showing the drawbacks.
Above all else I appreciate these guys like mauler breaking things down and articulating things in a way I can't as I don't posses the knowledge or wisdom. However even with my limited knowledge I'm not a plank of wood or a sheep and when I watch a movie I know it's bad. Such as captain marvels defence people don't like it because she's a female isn't accurate and now I can share well articulated arguments/explanations why the movie was awful. Same as black panther and it's racism defence. I didn't like it because it wasn't a bunch of white people running around I simply didn't like it because it make no freaking sense at all. The plot was stupid, the half advanced culture half primative thing was odd. Choosing their leader based on who hits harder while being the most technologically advanced civilization and using spears...... Yeah I seriously thank these guys for spreading awareness that marvel can't keep using lazy writing and hiding behind woke propaganda. People know everything that's wrong with the movies now you can't flash shiny CGI fights at everyone.
Yes, its not about heroes saving the earth. It's some kind of forced way to push woman power in. Like there's alrdy strong women wasn't it enough to have a "witch" that is the only one strong enough to destroy a infinity stone?? so why this?!? Like he is 98% correct, they like wiped all the story from the other movies with this. Next they need to add "in another timeline" to be able to correct this error.
I noticed this in the first 10 minutes of wonder woman 84. In the first 10 minutes of the film every single man in the film is doing the most overly stereo typical "man" shit ive ever seen. And while doing these things they are also maybe 35 IQ. Ive never seen a movie do anything like it, im not one of those people who go looking for this shit either. Id recommend pirating the movie and watching the first 10 minutes for a laugh. To think ideas like these get green lit for millions of dollars. When are they gunna understand?? Maybe when they go broke and if they keep making this im ok with that. But i do miss movies like batman and ironman.....
4:30 i love how she hates boys and anything they say so much that when a more experienced boy says to go slower on corners she immediately speeds up and almost dies in a crash. how is this memory guys fault btw. i know the dad yells at her instead of being useful but he is also kinda right. if shes going to do shit like that and almost kill herself then yes she should not be out there.
Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men. The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles. "Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?" "We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country." Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country. Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010. "It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."
Witch is why I love characters like Solid Snake. He's nothing, less than a man born of nature, yet he does superhuman feats. This is not because of who he is, but despite what he is. When his body was falling apart, his spirit and will to continue to keep him alive.
Do you remember when Ripley was killing aliens in space, saving a little girl and dealing with the prejudice she had with androids and yet being a charismatic and relatable character? ... Good times.
What? You mean Captain Marvel WASN'T the first movie to ever feature a strong female lead? Don't speak such lies. I'm considering this a personal attack.
Capt Marvel has a different message, in those movies the message was: women can be strong characters too. Today's message is: women are not strong characters because they are oppressed by men, so only by shitting on men they can prove they're strong and just as good (if not even more) in murdering 3rd world brown people abroad like their male counterparts. Epic movies of today are like unironical versions of Starship Troopers: "I'm doing my part!" o7
@@JoshTW030 have you seen Don Jon? I'm not saying there was a character for her to act in that movie, but shes just scrolling through all her screen time
Look dude Planks have uses to Pirates, to create make shift bridges to walk over, to bash zombies heads in and to barricade doors windows damaged walls. Please have a bit more respect for planks they are not sanctimonious, self absorbed, race baiting, champagne socialist ugly or useless they are the true Her-os.
I really truly want to know how Feige was able to see Infinity War through its development, and that movie is a masterpiece, and then someone throws the script for this on his desk and he somehow gave it the okay
@@Astraeus.. Are you trying to defend this piece of shit? Are we suppose to care as to why they gave us an emotionless "character". If they are going to make a story about a boring "character" with no emotion, no memory and unlimited power my general advice is just don't.
@@Astraeus.. Emotionless super-computer? You are aware that the Supreme Intelligence actually expressed quite a lot of emotion, including boasting and taunting...right?
Alita, Battle Angel had a CG main character, and her emotions just pour on the screen. Alita is fucking perfect. She really is the female lead we deserved, and we need.
This video was made in April 2019. Captain Marvel came out in March 2019 and the teaser for Endgame showing Tony stuck in space also came out in March 2019. Trust me when I say that we all knew she was going to be the one to save Tony.
If she is flying to other stars at light speed then it probably took 24 years just to get there and back, and at relativistic speeds, she'd not experience a lot of subjective time, so to her it could seem like she'd only been gone a couple weeks and so Fury would still be fresh in her memory. Other than that one thing, the rest of the critiques are spot on. I wonder how the pager works instantaneously across great distance.
your point is valid but it's also against her telling. She told she keeps the safety of the universe, not only earth. With means, she has been a superhero on other planets, not using all her time for only flying. Also, I doubt that even with her stupidity, she would use the Warp when everyone in the galaxy uses it for travel.
Disney ethos: Arrogance/smugness/misogyny in male heroes must be treated as character flaws and corrected through humbling circumstances. Arrogance/smugness/misandry in female heroes must be celebrated.
@@weirdguy1495 She was a spoiled,arrogant brat for more than half of the series. Her development started far too late in the series to make it redeemable.
I honestly think this movie was the beginning of the end for Marvel. Her role in End Game was clearly originally intended to be filled by Adam Warlock, teased at the end of Guardians 2, but then in a woke twist she was inserted instead. Then she was straight obnoxious in End Game and that movie was honestly underwhelming. There were great send offs for Tony, Cap, and Natasha but outside of that End Game was kind of a mess, especially the super insanely forced girl power scene. Captain Marvel began the MCU's rot.
@@crimsonpotemkin Funny thing is at first,her mentor advises her about self-control and is _the only one_ who criticizes her but by the end,we're told he's the villain and Captain Marvel never needed self-control and should do as she pleases. Because anyone who criticizes a woman is a misogynistic asshole.
That is what it revolves around. ...and it destracts from the fact that there's a story they could be working on along with the theme, not a theme with some story.
After seeing stories about the rumor that there was a butt body double it's more like "You...CUT! Body double in...action!...go girl!" Not all girls are created equally, but all are still better than men. Yeahrite.
@LowlyKnight1 They're making 4 more of these?! Or do you just mean the next 4 she's stared in?... Either way I hope plank is more likeable for us in the next few movies.🤭🤭🤭 JK, I don't know what to think or expect. Maybe she does have hope of being cool... -ish
Honestly when i watch this movie i was thinking that everytime she was walking in her mind she was saying , 'im a woman, im a woman, im a strong independent women, im fierce, im oooh so strong.... aaaand turn!' she had the personality of moss growth
Far From Home would be the better choice, it's better than both Endgame and this movie and Spider-Man is Stan's favorite and best creation so it fits better there.
