CAPTAIN MARVEL v.2 (First Critics Reviews)

[minute bull]

Threat?

 

[Horse Style]

There's a vague undertone of a threat, to every movie reviewer - Approve of this movie or you're sexist/misogynist/hatewomen.

I don't recall seeing anything like this, so openly, about Black Panther last year. Activists must have had more faith it was a good movie.

Which is weird because history has shown us that female leads don't automatically do poorly. The horror genre is 90% female leads / the women survives last / defeats the killer, yet the horror genre has been going for decades

Retro website is up

That’s too awesome to contain hahahah

Who’s the face that pops in to the side like the whoopsiee from mortal kombat?

New tv spot. Aimed squarely at the patriarchy. Lol.


"I'm kinda done with you telling me what I can't do". Oh damn.

I am woman, hear me roar, is all I see here

But...... two of the most notoriously bad comic book movies are Catwoman and Elektra.

Hell, even Ghost in the Shell, starring Scarlet Johansen, flopped both critically and financially.

And we all know how great Catwomen and Elektra were. Those movies doing bad was because of those dastardly white males.

Let me spell it out for you.

A threat implies that you're threatened, but you're going to tell me that you're not threatened and that's fine.

She's marketing a movie. By insinuating a narrative, as you say, of a patriarchy. But the point is always, as everyone has said, to sell tickets (and that Disney will pander to anyone).

By reacting this way, even though you're not really threatened, helps to create the narrative she insinuates. And draw more attention to the film. That's the problem with spinning films politically. You fell victim to the classic blunder.

I've seen some of that chick's videos. She's hilarious because rants like Brie Larson kicked her dog or something. It's like she has a vendetta.

But she probably feels more secure in letting it all out because they can't use the "privileged white male" defense on her

Oh I am spinning this politically?

Me?

Not Bree Larson, or the tweeters posted?

I'm the problem here?

No, I'm not a movie reviewer, I'm just a guy posting my opinion on a message forum. I wouldn't be threatened in this situation, but actual published movie reviewers could feel threatened by possible backlash if they give an honest assessment.

I stopped about 1/2 way through but she’s right , brought the feels with some of it.

We have grown with these characters, we don’t want some Jonny come latey(or Jane as it is) just showing up out of no where and saving the day.

Much worse is the “I am female” part thrown in with it and shoved down our throats.

They are really gonna fuck the pooch on this one.

Think they would have learned with their SW mistakes, but no they are doing the same to the mcu now

Really I saw it more as a person who was constantly being told what they can and aren't capable of. Which actually makes me like this trailer as I can relate big time to that in my own life. Reminds me of that movie with Cuba Gooding where he wanted to be a scuba diver and they kept trying to stop him.

Man people really believe Captain Marvel is going to take out Thanos by herself.

The first Cap movie was all about him being told he wasn't fit to be a soldier and he couldn't do the job. He didn't start going on and on about always being kept down and having to prove himself. He let his actions speak for him and he didn't do it to prove a point. He did it because he wanted to fight for his country.

People think she's going to come in and upstage the OGs and that's because of what the Russos, Feige and the actors have said about the character.

I didn't see anywhere in the trailer where she was going on and on about being kept down and having to prove herself. I just saw her failing multiple times with people telling her she wouldn't be good enough thats it. Is there another trailer showing this?

Yea the Russos also said the title of the movie wasn't going to be End Game. They are liars and this isn't the first time they've lied in the Marvel universe. They are trying to hype up a movie that's all I see.

You are witnessing the great rustling of our times.

If a movie is minority or female centered you can count on a contingent of fans to try to micro analyse anything and everything looking for an agenda and some faux offense while ironically complaining about agendas and getting offended.

it is the most predictable thing now.

I wonder if Men of Honor would rustle people these days.

I am pretty sure that in more than one scene scrawny Cap went on and on about not being fit for the job. Pretty sure buff Cap has referred to that time too.

There are female empowerment undertones with both the trailer and how they market this outside the trailers. Not to mention the history of the character in the comics. The villain in the newest iteration of her solo comic is pretty much the embodiment of "The Patriarchy".

The Russos have misdirected, yes, but the majority of the time, what they show/tell us is what happens.

So how do you know what the Russos/Feige/others have said about her character is merely hype and not true?

No, but my money is on her being the Dues Ex Machina that the Avengers must have to beat Thantos, rather than all the Avengers being whipped out.

Since Chris Evans hasn't renewed his contract to still play Captain America, he's probably going to be killed off and Captain Marvel will take his place in equal standing within The Avengers.

If I am wrong, I'll be very very happy.
