As someone who had to endure 7 years of the comics pushing her as “the most popular/strongest/mightiest”, I can’t say the movie bombing so hard (especially to the audience it was pandering to) doesn't give me warm feelings. It feels very nice, though I doubt Marvel Comics will learn from this and stop mindlessly pushing her.
Larson must be throwing a tantrum, the white dudes are being kind with the film, calling it okay at best but the diversity people are the ones fucking demolishing the film for not being woke enough and those people never look back when they get this bitchy.
White dudes saving Brie's flat ass is something she absolutely wasn't expecting, goes to show even more how much of a bitch she was being and I am sure she regrets that nonsense she was preaching.
Now we gotta hope the box office proves the film is an absolute failure. 1 billion plus is what Disney was probably expecting, that's gone.
If this happens it will be the biggest slap in the face audiences will ever get. They spent like 22 movies and 11 years with this and they want a satisfying conclusion.
Oh she’ll definitely fuss over this and force them to have her cut released to audiences.
I think if they use her as a main piece in Endgame, they'll Last Jedi the MCU. What don't these studios get? We want to see our favorite characters save the day, not some generic dumpy cunt nobody likes and is mediocre AT BEST and completely fucking boring at worst. Reading reviews, she becomes a complete Mary Sue at the end. That's the problem with powerful characters. They've got this Mary Sue complex. I just re-watched One Punch Man and it displays all the ennui and disconnect with humanity that comes with a ton of power. Which is not at all displayed here.
I think Captain Marvel would work if it were a bit darker, trying to awkwardly reconnect with her human side and this overwhelming power she has is constantly pulling her towards a dark place where her emotions are slowly rotting away until she becomes nothing but this sociopathic husk, who could kill at a whim and has no morality, humanity or guiding compass. Like, that would be a great plot. Yeah, she's the most powerful in the MCU, but it comes with a price. The more she uses that power, the more it erodes her humanity. Her emotions, feelings, things like that. The best way to turn the 'GRRRL POWEERR' narrative on its face is to show her going HAM, but the destruction is immense, maybe causing a loved one to die in the process. And instead of grief, she feels absolutely nothing. Empty. Like she was looking at a broken doll. Once she comes down from it, she realizes what her abilities are doing to her and it scares the fuck out of her.
The central conflict of Captain Marvel would be (Wo)man against Self. Struggling against these powerful beings by limiting her own power. The message would be that absolute power comes with a great cost, the destruction of your own humanity. The end fight would have her not use her powers at all, but instead her intelligence or cunning, or something completely human to redeem herself from before. Because she doesn't use her powers, she comes out of it nearly dead, but victorious. Maybe that's what causes her to stay away from Earth. She feels like she's too dangerous to be around people. And she never wants to lose control again. She doesn't want to leave, but she can't stay out of guilt. She has to explore and regain her humanity on her own, trying to learn to use her power without losing herself. That's when she gives Fury the beeper and flies off into the sunset.
The problem with her is that her power comes at no cost. She's just powerful. That's it. I think that's one of the main reasons why she's boring. Other character's powers come with costs. Of course, this isn't a female story, but a human one. Which women are, so its a story about women. Did I miss the message and women aren't human anymore?
Oh yeah. Reading a little bit more, it was such shit that
They use her to make a ghetto infinity stone, its so fucking dumb, which leads me to believe they'll try to make synthetic infinity stones which is the laziest shit ever.

You have to remember, this wasn't the Russo brothers doing this. This was completely and 100% Feigie. Somehow he's bought into this 'get woke' phase that crashed and bombed Star Wars and is forcing a character that has had 9 comic reboots. Also Feigie said in an interview she's one of their most popular characters, which is fucking laughable. Dagger from Cloak and Dagger is more popular than Captain Marvel. Marvel was C List at BEST, being a D-List character because she was trash. She was never really developed because Marvel had tons of other female characters. Why they're trying now is beyond me. Tony Stark was completely organic. You have to run multiple new movies to find the centerpiece for the next stage of the MCU. You can't simply force a character and make it work.
The Russo Brothers wanted the original cast and Avengers to do everything and not even include Marvel at all. They even wanted her in Infinity War. Truthfully, they should have shoe-horned her in the first film and just had her go away with the 'snap' so she couldn't ruin the finale. That was the compromise with Disney. The HAD to put her in the movie, one way or the other.

That’s what I head about Alan Horn and Disney agreeing to the Russos that they’ll let them have Infinity War have the Avengers only on the condition that Marvel is in the follow up.
I’m starting to wonder had Marvel Studios were still in Perulmeter’s control, I would think he would force the Russos to put in Marvel in Infinity War.
Brie Larson, the filmmakers, screenwriters, and many people involved in this film and at Disney are getting broke this weekend. Larson raging still makes me laugh and will continue make me laugh until she ends up being homeless and out of work for being woke.
Disney ramps up marketing for the upcoming Marvel Studios movie. #CaptainMarvel will be taking over a little bit more than just our movie screens! Join us at the @BurjKhalifa fountain tonight and tomorrow at 8:40pm to see her superpowers light up downtown. @Marvel #ReelCinemas...
Motherfucking cunt bitch. A friend asked me if I wanted to see Captain Marvel on Friday. I was like 'Nah, I'm going to see Alita instead. But they've got same runtimes so we'll get out at the same time.' Guess what? Alita's on Thursday. My local theater pulled the movie out of the theater on Friday. Who the fuck ends a run on a Thursday? That's some fucking bullshit. Now I'm not going on fucking principle. Nearest theater that's playing Alita is like 20 minutes away. Nevermind most of the multiplexes in a 10-15 mile radius around still have it. Except mine, of course. Fuck. I do want to go to the movie with my friend, but I really can't stomach sitting through a 2 hour cringe and borefest over a character I've never actually liked with little to no connection to Infinity War except an end-credits stinger.

That is very damning. Starting to wonder if he’ll turn into a George Lucas soon.
I just read some spoilers over at Reddit for endgame. Take this with a grain of salt, I just searched for Captain Marvel, wanting to know her involvement. I didn't read anything else, just her introduction. When I saw this I just bust out laughing
Banner finished analyzing his scans of Marvel and speaks with Tony. He tells him that Captain Marvel is almost a perfect replica of an infinity stone herself
If this is real, this is the worst sort of fan-fic Mary Sue garbage I've read. It had me laughing. If they go with this it will be the fucking worst shit ever. Looks like Disney wants to drown the MCU.
AND THEN MY OC MRS. PERFECTO
SHE CAME IN AND PUNCHED THANOS IN THE FACE AND HE DIED
AND THEN SPIDERMAN CAME BACK TO LIFE
AND THEN PERFECTO FUCKED IRON MAN
AND THEN SHE WAS PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD FOREVER
AND THEN EVERYONE ON THE BUS STOOD UP AND CLAPPED
AND THAT MANS NAME WAS ALBERT EINSTEIN!!!1!

The biggest problem with Marvel's women is that almost all the good/interesting ones are from the X-Men franchise (Storm, Kitty Pride, Rogue, Jean Grey, Firestar, etc...) and the ones that aren't are from other properties Marvel Studios (at the time) didn't have the rights to.
I would have loved to see a Ms. Marvel vs Rogue movie, it would have been pretty interesting to see what Marvel Studios could've done. It could have been a good Opening Salvo to introducing the X-Men into the MCU.
My only hope is that thanks to Infinity Stone shenanigans they could retcon most (if not all) of CM.

First off, lol at Disney promoting this movie in the UAE. Maybe Brie can head over and get herself beheaded for going outside without a male escort.
Secondly, these kind of building projections are fairly common in city art scenes. I remember walking through Montreal a few years ago and every other building had some kind of thing projected onto it (the only two memorable ones were the one playing Finding Nemo on a loop and another that had Monty Python-esque animations interacting with the architecture of the building). Don't know how well it scales to a building as large as the Burj Khalifa, but its likely just a case of using equipment they already have to do something they already do in cities all around the world.

Goddamnit all to hell! If Disney and Brie are pushing this feminism agenda in Endgame, then no ticket purchase for me. I'll just pay my ticket to see Madea's Family Funeral. At least Tyler Perry doesn't push woke agenda down people's throats.
OK, I'll admit to completely calling this wrong.
I figured the critic rating would be 100% for days out of critics fearing backlash from both the Mouse and the woke crowd, and it seems almost everyone is calling it the mediocre movie it probably is. I guess white women aren't as good of a currency in the film critic market, or the movie is genuinely uninteresting.
Skipping this, watching Endgame with friends and then I'm pretty sure I'm done with capeshit forever.
