CAPTAIN MARVEL v.2 (First Critics Reviews)

[MikeMcMann]

Oh geez. If you say there's not enough colored folk in other movies those same people lose their minds lol.

ya thats not true. You don't get threads on AntMan or other such needing to be in the War Room, as there is no loud outcry about the race.

And it ultimately proved to be useless in gauging the success of Solo.

Infact, Solo bombed despite early ticket sales.

"But Captain Marvel has $100 million in preticket sales alone!"

Yeah? Then why is it estimated to only make $80-$100 Million its opening weekend?

It is presales and projections, so yes it is not final but it was recently upgraded to 120, I see it doing above 100, unless all reviews are bad.

So is captain marvel the one who is going to swoop in and take out thanos during the last avengers movie?

I imagine she is going to be a big help. Especially since half of everyone else is dust.

'Professional' reviews from publications are going to love it, and the user reviews are going to be much more honest.

So, Captain Marvel is going to be 2019's The Last Jedi.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Lol why the fuck was there a war room thread about that

Have you gone to the war room?

Place might as well be called storm front lite.

Place is filled with all sorts of unhinged individuals.

So . . .

Shills gonna shill and raging fanboys gonna rage?

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

I haven't read any Captain Marvel solo comics but when she appears in team-up issues, I get the feeling Binary is powerful but still can't take down the likes of full training camp Thor / Hulk / Dr. Strange

I believe you are correct as well.

There wasn't enough black people in ant man.

no one cares

Just got back from Alita: Battle Angel. Alita > Captain Marvel. Go see that one instead. Alita is so likeable, complete opposite of Captain Boreface

Alita doesn't really scratch the same itch TBH.

I don't like anime, so there's no way I'm going to see that on the theater.

I don't have a lot of hype for CM, since I haven't read any comics with her since she was MS Marvel, but I will definitely go see every MCU movie in the theater. Hopefully it's as good as the early reviews say it is. I can usually enjoy a marvel movie just from easter eggs / references alone.

But it has John Leguizamo so it’s all good.

 

[tehJameson]

no one cares

There was too many white ppl in black panther

 

[I Am Legion]

She really has cost the studio millions by being a sour puss and unlikeable.....She should have taken a page out of Wonder Woman’s book. WW won people over with her positive attitudes and likeability.

And Gal Gadot is gorgeous

Honestly, I don't think she's saying anything that hasn't been at least tacitly approved by her bosses.

As I recall, Disney went for the feminazi angle pretty hard in their marketing even before Brie Larson started making a fool of herself. They had that over the top "with a HER-o" passage in the trailer, etc.

Larson coming out and spewing crap about white men and whatnot really is in line with the tone Disney set for their marketing campaign.

Disney did the exact same thing with their marking for Black Panther. I said at the time that it was an extremely cynical, but effective marketing strategy. And definitely deliberate- Disney had no qualms about stirring shit up and creating a lot of bad tension in society for the sake of ratings.
And I think they tried the same trick with Captain Marvel, only difference is mass media isn't falling in line this time. (for reasons I don't really want to get into).

I think Larson is basically following instructions in a pre-planned marketing strategy. I also think Disney won't hesitate to throw her under the bus if things backfire.
