THE MARVELS Is Embarrassingly Bad! | The MCU's Worst Film Ever! 

I am a cat person myself, but this whole cat thing is really weird.

No matter how fair your review is, the Marvel and Girl Power shills out there will dismiss it as you being "Toxic" for daring to not be absolutely in love with the movie and its precious characters.

I laughed my a$$ off this entire review! You are so underrated! As a woman I couldn't agree more and just love your reviews! Thank you for always bringing us fresh, engaging, layered content!

I love sitting back and watching the mcu burn under the weight of its own hubris. At this point I don’t want it “fixed” I want it to just burn.

She got an oscar because the character she was playing was a block of wood, just like her.

This felt like marvel CEOs desperately jangling keys with cat keychains on them, hoping that someone, ANYONE will care

This is one of the best movie reviews I've ever seen. Wow. You eviscerate this thing to no end and you were right. Ms. Marvel doing all that acrobatic ish after only three episodes in the series and her fighting the Kree was utter nonsense. Marvel is finished. These movies aren't good anymore. Finally a reviewer with a brain out here

Awesome review dude. In my very meaningless opinion, I think the biggest issue is that Marvel (movies) went from being produced by a studio to a corporation. A studio needs good actors, directors with a vision, so on...they need to make movies. A corporation, in this case Disney, make products. Products created in a board room, looking at numbers on a PowerPoint, it's soulless.

Man the cope with this movie on the forums I frequent is so strong, it almost seems cultish. People can like what they like, but seriously guys; sometimes a movie is bad and you just have to accept it.

Just like how Secret Invasion introduced the MCU's version of Perfect Cell, The Marvels film has officially made Carol Danvers into the MCU's Vegeta. If the intense gravitational force and heat of the Sun can't even burn her armor off ( thanks Marvel, for not even giving us a flustered Carol), there is nothing in the MCU that could stop her, save for a Black Hole, and the most that would do is trap her for all eternity.

What I don't get is why Carol, Monica, and Kamala even swap places when their powers are used when none of them even have the same powers. Carol got her powers from a Tesseract-powered engine accident, Monica got her powers from being in the Hex for too long, and Kamala got hers from her mutant DNA. Yeah, the movie says that they're all light-based, but it doesn't really explain how and why the glowing wall did this to them.

Man, I love your reviews. Pithy, blunt but erudite, and presented with that rapid-fire way you have. Someone wrote on here that he/she is a cat person. So am I, and and I'm fed up with jerka**es exploiting cats to try to be "cute" or "wacky" and "goofy."

Is anyone really surprised by this?

I think the body swapping was to nerf them a little and that didnt even work because theres a scene where Monica damn near one shots the villain.

As I was watching the evacuation scene from the skrulls planet, Kamala wanted to save them, but Captain Marvel told her they can't, I said "This is it! This is the movie" A fan meets her hero and disappointed her by not trying hard enough, but Captain Marvel also teaches her that reality is not always rainbows and flowers and you gotta make tough decisions in life and as a superhero. But then they moved on to the next crap. A good movie was there between Ms and Captain Marvel. The other lady served no purpose. I would exclude her.

I like how to make a "wacky" and "silly" film Disney specifically hired a director whose previous movies were about as hilarious as pancreatic cancer. The list of things working against this production has been biblically long. It's kind of impressive even, really.

Who wants to bet Disney doubles down and makes Dylan Mulvaney the new Cap Marvel?

I tapped out after Quantumania. As soon as Giant Sentient Ants with lasers defeated Kang, I knew it was over. With James Gunn gone, there is no hope

Got to love how the marketing and activist were saying that "this movie is not for you" but now the movie is bombing, media is blaming "incels" for the fail. No one is even asking why the OTHER half the world's population isn't supporting this film.

I thought it was better than Love and Thunder at least 😂 Wasting Christian Bale is unforgivable

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Disney will never make a better X-Men movie than Days of Future Past. They may never make another good movie at this rate

They made the new Accuser 'a chick and made her lame'.

So if I'm getting this right, this movie's similar to the classic comedy movie Spaceballs, Iman Vellani out-acts even an Oscar-winning actress, *and* it has kittens in it? sounds like a must-watch!

I think you are wrong about a reset being difficult. They should shoot some new post credit scenes for Deadpool 3 in which he hunts down and kills off the MSheU - SheHulk, Sylvie, Captain Marvel and the two nobody diversity hires, Ironheart, Kate Bishop, acassie Laing, Valerie etc. True to Deadpool's character. Cue huge cheering in cinemas. Reset complete.

Thorias deserves so many more subs. Your reviews are such gold! As far as the female villain, South Park addressed that. Take Ronan out, make him a woman, and make him gay.

"PUT A CAT IN IT AND MAKE IT LAME!I!

"it reeked of desperation." That's pretty much Disney in a nutshell 😂

If this is what made it into the movie I am so curious about how bad the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor was.

Brie's 'acting' has always been questionable to me. I hear the little kid in Room ran circles around her in terms of acting as well.

it's amazing how much Marvel is trying to push MS or caption Marvel for the last 2 decades in the comics they have had series runes that have been canceled and restarted multiple times and the sales are just some of the lowest in the comics today and that of the already declining comics sales Marvel is determined to make these characters THE NEW THING even though for the last 20 years the advances have been completely rejecting them

To be fair, none of the heroes in the Marvel universe ever feel like they are in danger. They all seem completely invincible, which drains the action and fight scenes of any real tension.

I personally think that the cats scene where they swallow up the entire station to the tune of "Memories" from Cats is some sort of tone deaf cliche in making Captain Marvel movies at this point because they did the same thing in the first movie when they used "Just A Girl" from No Doubt during that fight scene.

The Focus of this movie should have been Danvers training both Monica and Kamala about being a superhero. Monica, getting over her past and learning how to control her light abilities; while Kamala learns how to NOT rely on her powers and prepare for the harsh reality of being a superhero. On the subject of Kamala, they should have made her heavily dependent on her powers. Using her stretch limbs to just flail around, no precision or technique just mindless flailing and spamming energy blasts. A good tactic against standard threats but useless against enemies like the Kree. Which will also lean in to the switching gimmick as Kamala is the one to suffer the most due to her relying on her abilities heavily. Heck, Tony Stark himself wasn't a great fighter and just used his suit/prediction AI to fight Steve Rogers and Thanos. So you can have Kamala being a crappy fighter but due to her ingenuity, can utilize her powers and the switching Gimmick to come out on top (assuming they didn't do this as I am not gonna spend $20 on a movie I am certain doesn't do what I described)

You know they could've solved the whole OP Captain Marvel problem if they just brought Rouge in the movie to accidentally drains Carols powers. Im tired of waiting on the x Men. They should've just ended after endgame and spent these last few years doing X Men and F4 movies instead.

I think there's a flaw in the script. If the villain has one of the nega-bands, then why isn't she body swapping with the Marvels? 🤔

For reasons that simply don't make sense to me, the MCU was in a hurry to skip over the last sixty years of classic stories and adapt the modern titles that simply don't sell.

Nerdrotic's review on this just came out and now we have this. Man, we are eating well bois!

00:50 Here's the deal Thorias, they've been trying to convince us for years now that Disney+ and its ilk are the future, so, according to them at least, She-Hulk got the biggest stage possible.

As a woman I would prefer female characters with depth. Strength without weaknesses is boring, since there is nothing to overcome.

Marvel’s basic assignment for Captain Marvel movies is : “Pretty blonde in spandex jumping around and punching people.” If you fail to make money from men specifically in such an endeavor you have failed spectacularly.

Monica can turn intangible? That's literally my favourite super power, why didn't they show off what their specific powers are more in the trailers?

Great review, you obviously understand the material better than the movie's writers. Haven't seen the past few Marvel movies and dropped Disney+ years ago, this is not the way.

He is so right. I am fully done with marvel and done with disney subscription no more marvel for me. This movie tops the garbage in my trashcan in my kitchen.

Glad to see you just 50k. I look forward to following your work.

Poor Indian Canadian actress. She’s the only who tries her best to save this movie. And yet she’s not that very known actress. 🇮🇳 🇨🇦

The annoying thing is I’ve allways liked Kamala Kahn her powers are interesting her style is unique and her personality is very appealing. Issue is she’s bogged down by being a fan girl for one of the least interesting heroes in the fandom, being a discount Xman, and being written by people who are way more interested in family drama stuff than being an actual superhero.

Only thing more painful than this movie, is the disney shills who defend and like this.

Marvel is pathologically incapable of noticing the irony in using Valkyrie to attract audiences. From a plot standpoint, Carol, who let the Skrulls down big time, is entrusting them to a beer-guzzling, slave-driving deserter.

You know, the MCU might, ironically, be the best thing that ever happened to Ms Marvel. Yes, it's obvious that neither the comics, the show or the movies know what to actually do with her, and ALL of the 'plots' that involve her are COMPLETELY nonsensical but you have to admit the actress portraying her, Iman Vellani, is at least a good actress and brings 'some' likability to the character - same with America Chaves and Xochitl Gomez, actually. Seriously, say what you want about their appearances in the MCU, they were not the worst parts of those projects - they were fairly decent. Now if only we could start working on giving them actual good material to work with, proper character arcs and actually good plotlines. ... It's never going to happen, is it?

I've been waiting for his opinion on this marvel movie

How did Ms Marvel gain her unique fighting skills, Thorias?? The correct answer is: Diverse Woman. That's how.

Certified cat person here, I’m known as “Cat Daddy” this movie is an insult to all my people, cat ladies, cat daddies and cat mommies..This movie would have been better if they got rid of the 3 main human actors and just kept the kitties.

This review is better than the last 4-5 mcu movies

Great review. I’ll never see this movie (or Capt. Marvel 1) because the writing was clearly on the wall for who it was aimed at and it wasn’t me, but I enjoy listening to you explain how terrible it was. It’ll be interesting to see how much money Disney has to lose before they realize that pissing off your core audience and then insulting them for abandoning you isn’t a very good business strategy.

This is why i dislike the marvels. I am a major Marvel fan. They took the decades of rich history of Ms. Marvel who becomes Capt. Marvel to honor her mentor Mar-vel. (A male) They Ignored all of the history the comics created from her. Our amazing African American Marvel who held the title and her powers was all Light based. AGAIN ignoring all her history in comics she has for over a decade. Then the young Ms.Marvel which is a Inhuman NOT a mutant or some fancy bracelet powered kid..A third time ignoring all the comic history.. As a Comic reader from decades of reading these characters I am mad that the MCU/Disney ignored the history of these women and made them a dumpster 🔥. The writers a open Male Hating Feminist hired by Disney/Marvel. SO here is my RANT: Note just my opinion..👌 "Disney has turned every movie after End Game into 💩. No one is doing anything right. It is like some cash grab and screw the story. And more movies are being written as feminist leads and not anything to do with comic book Characters rich history of the decades that started in the 60s to now. NOT ONE of these writers has done any research of character history. ZERO NOTHING.. It is all on what sounds politically correct, race swapping, and feminist roles.. This is all on Disney and Marvel taking the history of characters "FANS" love and 💩 canning the source of the characters for some politically bull💩 and feminist agenda. BOTH Marvel/Disney and DC/WB's are doing this in a epic dumpster 🔥 just to make quick 💰💰💰.. Why even bother going to the movies anymore😤. I am not going to waste my hard earned money on what sounds politically correct, race swapping, and feminist roles.🤬. A specially when they are 💩 on Fans. .. Follow the source of history in the comics and also stop the race swapping crap🤬. Stop insulting racial minorities just to pretend to be politically correct🤬. If a MCU character is black, Get a black actor. If the character is Native American, then get a Native American actor, If a character is white, then a white actor and so on. It is so easy to do. And for god sake stop turning every red head in the MCU into a different race🤬. It is so easy to just open a dang comic book and read their history and use it and have a actor be that character without ruining the history of a character that has been around for decades. And yes i am pointing the finger at Disney. The company that is ruining Walt Disney's dreams and the history he made." Okay Opinion Done..🤟

tom hiddleston : 'you want me to play loki , put my wife in 'the marvels'.

Not wasting my money on this movie. Thanks for the review. 😃👍

Why couldn’t this movie be about rouge.

I’d rather watch Space Balls 2: The Quest for More Money directed and written by Mel Brooks than watch The Marvels.

Using cats is so lazy. Anyone can slap a popular animal on something for attention.

I just saw this the other night. You are spot on with your critique, Thorias. I don't think you mentioned Kate Bishop specifically, but that was kind of weird, even if it was a little funny (the scene), Here's the tiny silver lining that can be made into a star's wardrobe: The maturity and growth of Miss Vellani's Ms. Marvel character. If we assume that it will be a few years before any "Young Avengers" movie is produced, that gives her time to mature physically. She can then become mature as a super-hero, as a young woman in her role. She can rid herself of the doe-eyed fan-girl and solidify herself as Ms. Marvel. If the next writers get this right, they will be sure to give her a more serious and authoritative presence. She should be working out with the best physical trainers and fight coordinators in the business. This young lady has incredible talent; the camera loves her. I wish her well.

Thanks for enduring this in our stead Thorias. Great review for a movie that truly lived don to our expectations.

See, now that movie poster has me wondering: would an hour and forty-five minute movie where all the actresses were replaced by cats have been more watchable?

There's one quote that perfectly summarizes this movie, "Black Girl Magic!"

The only time a wooden actor was out-acted by the plucky kid actor and it actually worked as a premise was Last Action Hero. Could you imagine how much better this film would’ve been if this film went that route?

They should have made a Goose the cat origin stand alone movie (Without all the marvels) because he is the only good thing in the Captain Marvel movie even better than Samuel Jackson that might have worked :)

What can suddenly grant ability in the Marvel universe? Mutation. What does one of the negabands do? It unlocks the ability of it's mutant wearer. What is Ms. Marvel? A mutant. The reason for her rapid gain of physical prowess is due to the unlocking/triggering of mutant abilities by the negaband. Well, that is at least viable within the context of the MCU with the information available. Since the MCU can often be at odds with the source material, who knows if it makes sense for the actual character from the comics.

Captain Marvel has a lot of potential as a character, if they actually explored the fact that she, in the comics at least, is a borderline villain character. The whole "Batman is a fascist" thing really could apply to her as she is so ludicrously powerful and routinely makes decisions that are for the cosmic good, but which are absolutely atrocious for pretty much everyone involved. The fact that they thought such a character should be in a wacky, slapstick hijinks movie does the character so little credit. Instead she should be a character study in hubris and the fact that she is operating on a morality level akin to a person surrounded by insects.

Dear friend, thank you for taking the bullet once again. You saved a couple of hours of my life (I was tempted to watch the movie just to see how bad it is). I will use those hours to do something much more enjoyable (a wisedom tooth extraction, for example)

put a chick in in...actually put 3

I checked the showtimes in my city for The Marvels and they were completely empty.

When the film turned into a song and dance number half way through I walked out. Worst movie ever. The Marvel franchise has been nuked with this movie.

This is The Greatest Film of All Time. The First Time a Woman Lead an Action Film. The First Time a Woman Lead a Super Hero Movie. With a Wonderful Meaningful plot about Identity.

This is just sad review honestly, not for marvel.For you

This movie is a perfect storm of complete garbage. Every single aspect was flawed or deficient. It didn't even look that it was going to be watchable at any point in it's production.

You can take nitpicks and make them sound like the most significant flaws ever criticized. It's an art 😅. I never even thought about the "Where did Kamala Khan learn how to fight?" thing. It doesn't really matter, but it's still a valid point. Reminds me of Shuri, a tech nerd, putting on the Black Panther suit and suddenly she can defeat a warlord in hand to hand combat

I see that absolutely everyone is agreeing that Ms Marvel's actress is trying her absolute best here

Captain Marvel suffers from the old Rule of Par: when she's fighting a guy or a city-sized space ship, she might as well have an S on her chest--heck, she should have two S's on her chest. She is invincible. However, Put her up against a Kree foot soldier who happens to be female and, guess what?? All that power gone. She is, at best, on par with the woman she's fighting. She could be fighting Jennifer Garner's Peppermint and get totally thrashed by that ice cream-swilling little cherub. That's the Rule of Par--women are always on par with each other. It's been around for a long time, you just didn't see it very often.

What is it with "serious" films stealing plot points from Spaceballs? You had the "heroes arrested for illegal parking" plot in Last Jedi, now we've got "stealing the air" in Marvels...

Don’t…. Tell…. Me…. To…. Watch The Marvels and tell me I’m sexist if I refuse. I’m not watching The Marvels, Disney! Don’t call me racist or sexist or else you’re just being the toxic ones! NOT ME! 🙄

Here’s how it happened Writer guy’s from pitch meetings 4 year old daughter wrote some of the script

Imagine Superman avoiding bullets and missiles although he is indestructible! 🤣

To think, Disney happily spent $275 million on this, under the complete belief they could recoup at the cinema box office. Just goes to show their arrogance is truly astronomical.

You forgot 2 more things that make the plot useless: - the Race Gender Swapped rWoman The Accuser is looking for the both bracelets and when she finally gets them, she explodes. - How the hell the Race Gender Swapped rWoman The Accuser gets to have Rhonan the Accuser's "hammer" when it was destroyed in the first Guardians movie?

If only the MCU focused on Mar’Vell and Carol as Ms.Marvel because it would have Avoided Problems like this Soulless Sequel Nobody Ask.

No, "Love and Thunder" is way worse.

Marvel is working hard to find the number one best fan in the world. They've narrowed down their audience so far that soon they will be able to just get them all in one room to have a death match. Then comes step two. Step three is profits.

This movie is the result of a long series of terrible decisions Marvel tried to curb way too late, like trying to stop a half ton snowball after it’s already most of the way down the hill. It’s not so much that they didn’t see this movie would fail, but rather they didn’t have a choice but to get out of the way or get crushed beneath.

I liked the detail about Carol Danver's platonic marriage with the Prince on the singing planet, it's very Current Year. Do you think she would still get angry with him if he cheated? I would bet on "yes".

My cat wants to see her lawyer.

I can't wait for them to blame the patriarchy for this movie's failure

Finally someone mentions the ribbon scarf thing. I was rolling my eyes like what the fuck? hitting people with a scarf throwing them left and right knocking them off like with a scarf??Wtf??She has no superagility, superstrength nothing!

Captain Genocide.

They can't or just won't learn. How in the hell can any studio lose hundreds or millions on one flop after the next? And these idiots just keep doubling down and making more of the same crap.

Why is it, that Hollywood thinks POC equals alien? I'm getting sick of earth skin-tones on aliens, especially the ones with canonical skin-tones. Kree are mostly blue. All Tamaraneans are orange (DC's Titans). If you're gonna do a "space" story, let's see differently evolved species of intelligent beings. Not planet Bollywood.

The writers have no idea how folding space works.(there's no vacuum when to points connect) They could have explained the sun going out by having the kree defend themselves from enemies using a weapon that syhpons the energy from their sun. The movie is full of things that look cool but makes no sense.

All this nonsense started once Stan Lee passed away.

That's why I loved The Dark Knight movie. Less humor and more serious. They need to make Marvel movies with less humor and more serious edge of your seat thriller.

The reviews for this movie is more entertaining than the movie itself.

With this marketing ploy it's easier for me to adopt 3 more cats than paying to watch this desperate excuse of a Secret Invasion special episode.
