From what I know, here's what captain marvel is about: A blonde aryan ubermensch military officer has to decide between killing sandniggers for the US empire or spaceniggers for the space empire, and finally comes to the heroic compromise of killing spaceniggers for the US of A. If I don't mention the officer's sex, doesn't that sound like some shit Jace Connors would write?

Not far from the truth, since it's running ad campaigns with northrop grumman or one of those. The most superficial, pandering progressivism possible, coming this summer by the military industrial complex.
 
There's a trent on Twitter called "Alita Challenge" as a way to boycott Captain Marvel, will it work? https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019...a-challenge-boycott-man-hating-captain-marvel

The backlash against Captain Marvel has reached a boiling point ahead of Friday's premiere, after star Brie Larson slammed the number of white male movie critics reviewing her films - while others have taken issue with the feminist marketing campaign behind Marvel's "big feminist movie."
The ensuing flood of complaints against both Larson and Marvel Studios resulted in a 28% drop in box office projections, while popular movie review site Rotten Tomatoes made site-wide changes, removing their "Want To See" feature from the website.

Larson's "Social Justice Warrior" (SJW) supporters have branded the backlash as a classic case of misogyny; men who simply can't stand a strong female lead in a superhero movie - however this analysis falls short in light of the overwhelming popularity of hollywood productions such as the Resident Evil, Alien and Kick Ass franchises, not to mention the Hunger Games, the Fifth Element - and of course, badass heroine Sarah Connor from the Terminator series.

Enter the "Alita Challenge"
Combating the SJWs is a new social media campaign created by comic fans who just want to watch an agenda-free action movie. Dubbed the "Alita Challenge" and operating under the hashtag #AlitaChallenge, moviegoers are encouraged to ditch Friday's premiere of Captain Marvel and instead see Alita: Battle Angel - an adaptation of the popular Japanese cyberpunk manga series which features a female lead, yet doesn't include a "girl-power" agenda or feminist marketing. What's more, while Alita star Rosa Salazar is no fan of President Trump, she hasn't denounced 30% of the US population.

In describing the Alita Challenge, OANN's Jack Posobiec explains that Disney, which owns Marvel, has been cramming "SJW bullcrap" down people's throats - noting they "did it to Star Wars," and the Avengers - and now they're doing it with Captain Marvel.
"We're going to stop giving money to people who hate us," says Posobiec, who wants movie studios to leave their politics at the door.

This would be a stretch but it may stem from the concept of men being attracted to women fighting against each other i.e. cat fights,

It sounds like the author is watching too many harem animes. "Men like pitting women against each other for their personal gain. I know this because Ranma always pit Akane and Shampoo against each other. For reference, read my 15,000 word feminist critique of Ranma 1/2."

I hate how Marvel immediately took control of Stan's account just to hock their crap. They ignored all the shit he went through up to the moment he died. He was always more profitable to them dead.
For those of you that don't know Stan's last year on Earth was horrible.

Pre-Death:
Post-Death:
Stan suffered real abuse and no one from Marvel gave a single shit. It's the main reason I stopped reading all their comics. Once the IW is over I'll be completely free of Marvel forever.

You think so, mate?
I believe Maher was making fun of those who take comics way too seriously. Assholes like Chris Stuckmann, Assblasted Alejandro or the ones hosting Collider. Red Letter Media has done a spectacular job parodying them in The Nerd Crew.
That kind of idiots deserve all the shit people throw at them.
 
Figured this movie was gonna suck as soon as it was announced.

First off, they're using Carol Danvers, the most boring and mary-sue of the characters to have the Captain Marvel mantle.

Even in the old days of the comics, writers found her so boring that they literally had Rogue steal her powers and leave her in a coma.

And second, Larson started doing the whole Fembusters schtick of "You're sexist if you say my movie is bad!" before the thing even came out. She KNOWS this movie is a bomb.

I'm more willing to believe in Dr. Strange's magic than I am in the rules governing the Extremis nano-bots(and their abandonment of this miracle tech).

Read damian's link and Maher's blog entry. A quote from the latter:
The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning. Deep, deep mourning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess. Someone on Reddit posted, “I'm so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee.” Personally, I’m grateful I lived in a world that included oxygen and trees, but to each his own.

What a loving tribute. I'm so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee.

The tribute in question, a Twitter post by DC Comics:
He changed the way we look at heroes, and modern comics will always bear his indelible mark. His infectious enthusiasm reminded us why we all fell in love with these stories in the first place. Excelsior, Stan.

Nothing about these two messages is exceptional. For context, the comment author is 25 years old, has a job (vet tech - so, finished college), normie hobbies (baseball and cooking), and owns a horse [riding animal, not a typo] somehow (I assume lives with parents and has a good relationship with them).
Maher is a cunt and his quip about oxygen is full-on :neckbeard: cringe, an atheist pretending to be a scientist and failing.

Damn spaceniggers. Always blasting trance music in their shitty romulan warbird looking shitboxes while they keep fucking with us humans to take all of our Newport soft packs and gold or whatever. You know those assholes upon getting all our shit just blow it on neon-cocktails and eighteen-forehead bulky ass head bitches.
 
Marvel's characters were always successful because they're relatable. In a way they inspired people of the time to grow up (with Spider-Man going from a teenage nerd to a college student and a married professor) and accept world views other than their own (having to sympathise with an alcoholic and former arms dealer is a pretty heavy thing for a child in the '60s to accept and read). So Maher is an asshat.

Though, on the other hand, Marvel fans nowadays think everyone right of Stalin is a nazi and will spend years bitching about their Peter x Tony slash on tumblr. The MCU and modern Marvel is a breeding ground for autistics, especially with Marvel Sue coming out.

So I've been catching up on the comics especially considering they altered Carol's origin and goddamn, I hope the movie or any future adaptation never uses this.

Original: Carol Danvers was an Air Force pilot and love interest of a guy named Walt Lawson, actually Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree who was sent to infiltrate human society to prepare an invasion. Mar-Vell eventually ends up disobeying orders for the sake of mankind. During a later adventure, one of Marv's enemies kidnaps Carol and threatens him with some superweapon. The resulting explosion from destroying the superweapon had the unintentional effect of Carol gaining Mar-Vell's powers too.


Current: Mar-Vell had little to do with Carol's powers. Her mother was an earlier Kree soldier sent to Earth named Mari-Ell. Her father found this woman while out on his boat who he ends up romancing and having a kid with. The incident with Mar-Vell only awakened the abilities she didn't realize she had the whole time. The best part? Carol isn't even her birth name anymore and you won't believe me when I tell you what it really is now.

It's Car-Ell. I'm not bullshitting you.

How do you fuck things up this bad? Oh right, the creature responsible is Kelly Sue.

The first one is a bad example. Let's face it, if someone wrote here "I'm so incredibly grateful I lived in a world that included Stan Lee", unironically, that person would be bombarded with Autistic ratings.
Yes, Bill Maher can be an arrogant asshole, he usually is, but let's not pretend that Stan Lee's death didn't bring a lot of cringe just because we liked the old man.

Agree on the condition that we accept Bill Maher as part of that cringe.

The thing is, Ms. Marvel was a great character just a couple years ago before the Captain Marvel switch. She was a mess of a person and a recovering alcoholic and was more than a little irked at having to interrupt her day to go punch things. But those things were interesting. She was just as powerful as the new version of her, but she had an actual personality to go with it, so it wasn't a problem. Her new personality seems to be 'pushy bitch who gets tons of people killed with her terrible ideas' ala Tony Stark from the first Civil War. That's not fun, no wonder the comic sales for her are shit now.

Writing a character like that is far too risky for Disney/Marvel (which is weird as all hell when Infinity War taking risks paid off)

I'm still curious how they got the idea that "it's a typical man thing" to "pit two unrelated women against each other for their own personal gain" and any in-fighting is the result of it. That's a male stereotype I've never heard before.

Though most of the critics I've seen that take from happen to be men themselves so that's an odd can of worms.

It's the big feminist pipe dream of WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN ALWAYS, when in reality women can be really cruel to each other. It's not surprising that a man believes those though, because of being on the outside observing womanhood. People trooning out tend to think it'll initiate them into some kind of magical sisterhood because that's how being a woman works to them.
