WATCHING CAPTAIN MARVEL FOR THE FIRST TIME | MOVIE REACTION/ COMMENTARY | MCU | 

Guyssss this is the calm before the storm. I hope you enjoy the reaction as always, and I hope you enjoy Captain Marvel as much as we did, hopefully this is a nice set up for this Monday as next week finally the next reaction will be ENDGAME the one we all be waiting for !!! as always guys if you want to see where we are now in the MCU check out the Patreon but other than that I hope you're all good and enjoy the reaction, until MONDAY guys take care!!!

My favorite Captain Marvel quote comes from my favorite comic writer of her, Kelly Sue DeConnick. She said, "Captain America gets back up because it's the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because f*ck you."

Loved your review. When I saw it I enjoyed that the audience experienced Danvers' self-discovery along with her. It made the character's frustration relatable. Personal note: I was an extra for the underground tunnel scene that was filmed at the Shaver Lake Edison hydroelectric dam just North-East of Fresno, CA. I gained a TON of respect for people who work on these movies. We extras had to be on set by 5 am for wardrobe and the film crew were already there working. Shooting and post-shooting digital image capture finished around 5 pm, and the film crew were still hard at work wrapping things up. They work HARD.

I can’t wait for you guys to get into these MCU TV shows after endgame (especially WandaVision) I just know Monica is gonna love it 😂

I knew Monica was going to love her, for exactly the reasons she said at the end and that all of the people telling her to control her emotions were going to piss Monica off as well. Glad someone else doesn't dislike the character just because she's super-powerful

You're right. Captain Marvel released about 3 months after Stan Lee died, so they placed all his cameos in the title card as a loving tribute to his life. Rest in peace, Mr Lee, for giving us these wonderful and important characters. You will be missed.

Just waiting for this and was refreshing the whole page for 10 minutes.

After watching this movie you have to remember Fury's words in Winter Soldier to Cap: "Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye." And now we have seen exactly that...

Stay safe and be awesome Rico and Monica! This was a fantastic review and I absolutely loved it! :)

captain marvellous

This film has mixed reviews for various reasons, but I rate it and welcome Captain Marvel to the MCU.

This was fun. Mainly, I started getting worked up about you guys getting to "Wanda Vision." "Monica..." you're in for a treat. Dude... the editing... (an Italian) "MMMMMMMMmmmmmWAH" to you. Perfecto.

Stan was reading his line for his cameo in Mallrats (Kevin Smith)

Good to have you back

I LOVE CAPTAIN MARVEL! Such a badass 90’s origin film! Carol is the best! Can’t wait for The Marvels

The script he was reading was from Mallrats, a '95 Kevin Smith movie. If I'm not mistaken, the story i heard anyway, was that Stan Lee was pretty weak when they were filming Captain Marvel and they got outtake audio from Kevin Smith of Stan's line "trust me, true believer" for them to use here because he could barely speak in the end.

There is a Boxer here in the states named George Foreman and he named all his kids George, even the girls.

I love how they incorporated his "Mallrats" Cameo where he told a person in the movie all his characters were how he dealt with losing a love

OMG I don't know how I missed these last few uploads. Going back to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp.

I thought you guys do Marvel movies every Monday. At least we're closer to Endgame

It's not a cat. It's a flerken! 🤣 I love how this turned into a running theme for this reaction. As far as Fury's comment about "the last person he trusted"...he's talking about Carol. If it weren't for Carol, he wouldn't have gotten scratched by Goose.

Nexxxtt End Game!! So excited!

It was a script for his appearance in either Mallrats or Chasing Amy. I can't remember I think it was Chasing Amy but they had to get permission from Kevin Smith and he was overjoyed and had to keep it secret which if you know Kevin Smith that is a tough thing for him to do.

To be fair, any good fighter will tell you that you do need to learn how to control your emotions in a fight because fighting emotionally can lead you to make erratic mistakes and lose focus on your opponent & just throw random punches and kicks. It has nothing to do with gender, but you need to remain calm so you can be strategic. Remember what Tony told Peter that if you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it. Most of us do not have the luxury of shooting energy beams from our hands, but we need to fight smart. There is a constant debate among comic book fans on who is the strongest Avenger or superhero. Captain Marvel is usually listed among the very top, along with Scarlet Witch, Vision, and Thor. The problem, though, with teamup movies is usually they need to be de-powered and made less powerful than they are OR sideline them and distract them with something else to do in order to give other heroes equal enough time on-screen. Otherwise, 1 of them could easily overpower everyone else and the movie is over in 10 minutes, LOL! I enjoyed this movie a lot and think it is underrated, despite some of the logic flaws I think it does have. Keep in mind, this movie takes place long before Fury ever met Tony Stark. This was his first encounter with aliens. I do not know if you realized it or not, but Fury tells Danvers he cannot eat sandwiches cut diagonally in half, but in Age of Ultron, he cuts a sandwich diagonally in half and eats it. That cannot be just a coincidence or a mistake, right? Also, he mentions a mission to Budapest to Danvers as well. In the first Avengers movie, Black Widow and Hawkeye briefly mention to each other their mission to Budapest. Part of the whole point of this movie is to have us follow along from the perspective of Danvers as she herself discovers the truth. So, we're not supposed to know everything at the start of the movie. It ruins the whole fun of finding out ourselves. In my opinion, the more you know and can predict what will happen in the first 10 minutes of a film, the worse the movie is. It is often a conundrum on how to keep people guessing, but not go too far as to leave fans too confused that it leaves fans annoyed they cannot follow it easily enough. Usually, if you just let a movie play out as if, things will eventually make sense. But that is also why I believe most movies need to be seen at least twice to catch everything and appreciate the story.

Great reaction but we all know we have been waiting for the next ones can't wait guys

Stan Lee's last Marvel red carpet premiere would be for Avengers: Infinity War. He was still alive when they were filming Spider-Man: Far From Home, but he couldn't make it to set. So Avengers: Endgame is his final cameo.

If you re-watch The Winter Soldier, you can clearly see the scratch

Captain marvel got such a bad rap even before it came out 🤦🏾‍♂️. Movie was good in my opinion

I'd probably say the list of strongest characters would go Captain Marvel, Wanda and then Thor.

Love your reactions cant wait until you watch endgame and no way home they’re so good

Are y’all going to watch wandavision and the other Disney plus show?

Cool

I think Captain Marvel, Wanda and Thor are the strongest MCU characters.

wait did you watch this before Infinity war?

The cat stole the whole show. Oh, sorry, the Flerken 🐱

Endgame this Monday the 21st ?

In the comics, the Skrulls are serious bad guys. They and the Kree have been at war for centuries. Making them friendly is an odd shift for the MCU.

Glad to see the uploads coming through now! Can’t wait for your Zack Snyder’s Justice League reaction 👀

1:12:50 Things not being what they appear to be is a big theme of this film. A lot of the characters change their roles in the film. The Kree-Skrull war isn't what you thought it was. The heroes aren't the good guys, and the villains aren't the bad guys, and Mar-Vell's earth base isn't on earth. And the cat's not a cat.

It's not movie of the year but CAPTAIN MARVEL is an entertaining & fun movie that shouldn't get so much hate

It’s funny that the actress that plays Monica said “you’re gonna give that up to sit on the couch and watch fresh prince with me” and now she’s playing Ashley in the reboot of the Fresh Prince (Bel-Air) 😂

Marvel really knows how to cast their movies and shows, but they also know how to craft characters and scripts in ways that make the characters not only accessible but also relateable. The scene where "Vers" is in the backyard trying to cope with the fact that the Kree have been lying to her for 6 years in order to control her, and she's only just finding out about who she had been, and that POWERFULLY DELIVERED monologue from Lashana Lynch as Monica Rambeau relaying to her the important stuff. It's like "You don't know who you are, Im gonna tell you who you are and what you mean to me as a friend, loved one, someone who believed in me when no one else did." And the hug at the end .... ooof! Never fails to get me misty-eyed. How weird is it that most of the best moments in any Marvel film aren't really the fights, the visual spectacle, or the powers of the heroes, its really the dialogue scenes between two or more characters that are usually the most poignant, meaningful, and well-written. It's drama, and I love it!

I really like the fact that you two were not swayed by the internet or public opinion about this movie. I'm glad you two liked it.

I saw this movie in the theatre when it first came up, and I damn near teared up seeing that tribute to Stan Lee in the opening. If I remember correctly, this was the first MCU movie to come out after his death.

I REALLY like the chemistry that develops between Carol and Fury. I understand that it extends to real life. And in that scene where she offers to arm-wrestle for the tesseract, I always wonder who I would be arm-wrestling. Captain Mar-vell? She would rip my arm off. Literally. Carol Danvers? Well, I would get to keep my arm, but I would probably lose badly. Brie Larsen? I suspect she would win too, but at least I would have a chance.

I'm a day late to the party, so someone else may have already explained this, but as I understand it, the cameo for Captain Marvel was the last one Stan Lee was alive to film. As for the script, it's for Mallrats, a movie that came out in the 90s, in which Stan has a cameo playing himself. The line you hear him repeating is from his *actual part* in the film. While I don't know that it's ever been confirmed/addressed by the Captain Marvel filmmakers, my personal theory is that we're meant to see this as *the real Stan Lee* rehearsing in preparation to shoot that very cameo. [perhaps he was even en route to the actual shoot during their meet]

"You have this Kree part of her that's unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive. Then there's this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It's the thing that gets her in trouble, but it's also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her."

This movie gets better with time as it's Easter Eggs are revealed down the MCU road.

brilliant as always guys, you two never disappoint; eagerly waitin' fer "A:Endgame" and more! Much aloha you two and big ups:-)

Let me try to explain the original Kree-Skrull metaphor from the comic books. During the Cold War, a lot of Americans didn't understand why other nations-including our allies-were unhappy with some of the things America did during the Cold War. The Kree-Skrull conflict is meant to make those complaints more understandable to Americans. The Kree and the Skrull use entire planets as pawns in their conflict in the same way that America and the Soviet Union used entire nations as pawns in our conflict during the Cold War. Occasionally, Earth becomes a place of strategic import in the Kree-Skrull conflict, and Earth is almost helpless to do much about whatever the Kree or the Skrulls decide to get up to.

For some reason this movie and Brie's performance wasn't recieved well by some but I throughly enjoy and really like this movie. Glad to see you like it as well^^

I really like this movie. Goose is always a win 😻

Finally some who likes this movie as much as me!! Cant wait for the next one.

I loved the conversation with them talking about everyone calling him Fury, including his mum. Recently watched the amazon prime series Reacher and everyone in that calls Jack Reacher by his surname, even his mum, and the best thing is he's got an older brother. It makes no sense, but I love it!

Captain Marvel absorbs energy, so it's easy for her to stay powered

Your reaction was I believe the right one, to have. People can disagree with the choice, that is fair, but I think the creative team wanted to put the audience in the head of the lead character and show you how confused she was by all that was going on. Just my opinion, but it seemed the more information "Vers" gained the calmer and less hectic the film got. So, by the time she gets to Carol Danvers, she is cracking jokes and back to her "pain in the ass" psyche that Monique Rambo talked about. I could be wrong, I just really, really liked this movie and am still waiting on reasons outside of her being a girl and saying it would ne nice to have more girls on the press tours, because maybe she would be asked more questions than about her diet, lack of skin in the costume, how her butt looked and who would the character date.

Woo-hoo! Friday upload :D perfect to get me thru a weekend of being sick. Hope y'all are doing well across the pond! edit: Carol and Spidey are my two favorite Marvel heroes and I absolutely love this movie! Between this and Endgame, I saw each one probably 5 times in theaters. edit 2: This and Endgame were Stan Lee's final cameos.

Captain Marvel can absorb kinetic energy and dish it back out to you

She really is a Monica! 🤣 Just beautiful 😜 This is one of my favorite reactions 👍

Fun fact Samuel L Jackson work with Brie Larson on unicorn store, Kong skull island, AND this

4:32 - yes, and you also have Ronan the Accuser in this movie (before he went rogue)

very great reaction loved it🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thx for uploading before monday, so Ig on monday we getting endgame😄

All we know is that Captain Marvel is imbued with a ridiculous amount of cosmic energy, specifically the energy of an infinity stone (the space stone)

Stan was reading the Mallrats script by Kevin Smith. It's a real film he appeared in the 90s. (And Captain Marvel was his last MCU film he cameoed in before he passed away. His last non-MCU movie was his voicework appearance in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse.)

This movie got better for me each time I watch it

Rico: So glad you're feeling fit and healthy again. Always in our prayers, bro. Monica... I wanted to leave this comment in your Infinity War reaction, but I didn't, so, I'll do it now.... "You're one of usssssss......" Welcome. There's no way out. I can't wait til the Endgame reaction. I've loved all your vids so far. It started with Harry, and it will end with..... "..."

I really enjoy this movie, it feels different from a lot of the other marvel movies. Loved this reaction!

captain marvel is the long kiss goodnight with geena davis but in space

I was just thinking how long you guys have been gone but now you've given us Antman and the Wasp & Captain Marvel. I hope Endgame comes soon, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting. ❤️

The first time I watched this movie I was sooo confused, and thought it was just ok. But the second time I watched it, I understood it more and liked it. The more times I watch this movie, the more I like it. It really is an underrated MCU movie. I thoroughly enjoy this movie now. Captain Marvel is a badass character.

I remember really liking this movie when it first came out, despite all the haters raging about it. And it gets better the more I watch it. Captain Marvel is definitely OP but there’s plenty of superheroes who are op too lol. I love her friendly chemistry with fury 😆

Please react to Wandavision

29:22 “They’ve had each other backs since day one…”, except that one time Fury didn’t have Coulson’s back… but Loki did. 🧝‍♂️🔪🤵‍♂️🩸. Ouch. 😂 😆 sorrry. Sorrryy. Too soon!

Yes Rico you are right he is Korath and he was in GOTG, nice catch.

Loved this movie! So happy to see you react to it, and now looking forward to 'Endgame' Woo!

I really enjoyed this movie. But then again, I'm not one of those people who catches a whiff of public narrative and has to concede to the tide of what the masses' tell me I should think or feel. Unfortunately I think a lot of critique of this movie, specifically from women, is tied up in that. A PickMe-esque type of agreeability signaling to the dudebro toxic fandom of the internet. Most of us on the jury of film reactions have Already been influenced by forces outside of the courtroom and our verdict is kinda tainted. It's nice to see people who can tune that out.

In case you didn't notice already, Marvel makes it obvious when a child is a future superhero. I hope you like little Monica here. Flerken explanation: they are like biological TARDISes. They're bigger on the inside than the outside. The inside is full of universes, tentacles, and teeth, which are all part of an incredibly complex digestive system. They are feared not just because they can kill almost instantly, but also because they reproduce fairly quickly. Goose's gender has been misidentified.

Ever been to C-53 (Earth) Sersi in Captain Marvel : "Once. Its a real shithole." ... Sersi in Eternals when they first arrived at earth : "Its beatiful isn't it?" 😅

4:48 yup it was him ! Since that movie's events are before Guardians of the Galaxy and he is Kree. Same for Ronan.

The Supreme Intelligence is not an AI. It's much more creepy than that. It is a gestalt mind made up of the most intelligent Kree. As individuals die, new Kree are "plugged in." Thus, it is a singular intelligence with a lifespan many times that of a normal Kree. The Kree used to be an egalitarian society with artists and scientists, but the moment the Supreme Intelligence took over, he turned all of Kree civilization into a giant military and started conquering everything out could. There are Kree who would like to go back to the old ways, but no rebellion or uprising is ever successful because the Supreme Intelligence is too smart. The funny thing is, Fury can tell aliens that he lost his eye to a Flerken, and they will be impressed.

I'd say captain marvel is second behind infinity war Thor. Thor in his prime (end of infinity war) literally one shotted Thanos with the infinity gauntlet, he's on a whole other level compared to everyone else including captain marvel, he'd be able to do what captain marvel did to the Krees but even easier if anything, since he has access to the briforst now via storm breaker, and as seen in the first Thor movies, the brifrost can destroy entire planets with ease, like when Loki used it to destroy the frost giant's home. Thor obviously holds back a lot since he was fighting with allies around him and he mainly uses the bifrost for travel since heroes like him don't usually go around destroying planets lol.

yes the guy who was working ronan in the guardians of the galaxy , the 1 who drax said "finger to the throat means death" then ripped the metal thing from the side of his head

Liked the fact that you liked it.. but wait till you actually see the most powerful female character.. you'll probably appreciate the development of that perticular character so much

I was so annoyed after seeing this in the theater. It was such a wasted opportunity to have a great female epic superhero. It was so poorly handled. Poorly cast lead for sure. The cat was cute tho.

Greetings from Germany

You caught the "Vers", if you watch "closely" you'll see Monica has her service tag that says, "Carol Da" and Yonn-Rogg picked up the "vers" piece.

1:00:01 Thor is literally a god, don’t jump on the captain marvel bandwagon like that 😂

Awesome movie great reaction .. glad your back ..after end game make sure to watch Wanda vision it follows on and would be great to see your reaction to the marvel TV shows. It was indeed Stan Lee and the script was for Mallrats a Kevin Smith comedy that Stan Lee had a part in..

What a nice surprise! On a Friday… SHOUTOUT RICO AND MONICA ❤️

I was born in December 28th 2002, which it's Stan Lee's birthday

Great movie, but needed a way better direction and script then it could have been much better imo. Glad someone else is directing the semi-sequel. Hated they made his eye just a joke, love how the Avengers Initiative came to be.

Monica is spot on when she said that Carol is the strongest. Most powerful is also a woman, Wanda.

I’m guessing endgame is next

They de-aged Samuel L. Jackson to look twenty years younger

Please we need the videos faster.. I’ve been watching everything you posted at least 4 times. I love y’alls reactions😩😩

Great Job 👍 I have to say. I watch a lot of reaction videos. It's just a great way to re-watch my favorite movies and see them through someone else's eyes. Of all the react channels, you 2 are one of my favorites (top 2 of 40). Seriously. There is a genuine and "unspoiled" nature to your reactions. A LOT of the other RU-vid reactors try to fake this. But you too have a real thing going. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THIS! There will be a lot of pressure from commenters, fans, and competition. But keep this very special attribute going. Again, great reactions. Really like the comments about how they portrayed Captain Marvel's character. This is actually the only strong female lead movie where the strong female lead was not characterized by her unbelievable strong sexuality (or fake empowerment as I like to say). In fact, it's the only one that has dared to not even include a hint of a "love" interest. Her characterization was driven by her choices, her own will, and her identity. This is so rare! My hat goes off to Marvel for that. Sorry this was so long, and again, keep doing what you are doing

Captain marvel is strong but she is still not stronger than Wanda Thor or Strange

LOVE THIS FILM! Captain Marvel is awesome and THERES LOT coming up from her

It’s meant to be confusing, you’re learning as you go - kind of like Carol with no memory. I think after so many movies with a foundation, it’s refreshing to find something new.
