Yes I'm a terrible spiteful person who enjoys seeing people who have VERY STRONG OPINIONS about trivial things ridicule themselves on the internet, I thought that was the idea behind KF but I stand corrected.

Please tell me more about those "people with actual taste in movies" whose most precious and sacred treasure is the MCU they sound great.

You actually took what I said and twisted it around. Those people don't care for the MCU because they are bland and boring piles of crap 60% of the time.

At least the /tv/ types, but even then it was doing much better than Star Wars until recently, which is why it's kinda sad. But at the end of the day, people will grow apathetic to them if they are going to be like Captain Marvel from now on.

Also why are you here? Did someone pay you to derail the thread because it was too negative towards the film or something?

That'll show them!

Ghostbusters 2016 and Ocean's 8 didn't make a profit.

You guys still forgetting that Endgame boosted this movie right?

You are right.

I still find it exceptional that people are such empty headed consumers and want so bad to signal that they're on Right Side of History that they prop up Hollywood blockbusters as socially "important".

I'm starting to see the MCU, the whole Cinematic Universe concept as kind of akin to collecting. You gotta see em all to get hyped for the big event at the end, including the forgettable and lukewarm entries. Gotta watch em all!

I, for one am excited to watch mediocre and formulaic media such as this:

Excuse the weird cut off thumbnails it's because I took a full page screenshot

Do your part in the culture war!

Yeah the corporate overlords who are always actively monitoring the trends on KF were very unhappy about the treatment the film here, they sent me to put you back on the right path you silly nazi.

I don't see how worse CM is compared to Thor or Iron Man, it's a generic PG-13 super hero movie like the other 15 that came before. Getting angry at the treatment it gets because it's a female lead I can somewhat understand, but worrying about a decrease in quality ? I mean come on we're talking about blockbuster eye-candy here not finely crafted art pieces. Sure some are more enjoyable than others but if you weren't getting your pitchfork and torch out when Thor 2 was released and raging about how it was a terrible movie that would be the very end of the MCU I don't really see the need to do it now.

Thor 2 at least was treated fairly and didn't have toxicity surrounding it.

So what, the movie's getting a little more praise than it should because WOMAN AWESOME, like a hundred movies that completely revolutionized the way we look at women/blacks/gays/randomminority before and the world will still remain very much unaffected by all that circlejerking from both sides because in the end nobody gives a shit, it's not exactly worth losing sleep over or getting all mad at the internet. I mean Endgame is out in less than 2 months, everybody will forget CM, end of story.

Hopefully, these movies will just slowly lose their hype after Endgame and we can move onto something else.
 
I just saw the movie.

It was pretty much what I expected it to be, a homework assignment in preparation for The One Movie Everyone Really Cares About.

Come to think of it the movie wasn't bad, it's mainly that the least compelling character was Brie Lar--I mean, Carol Danvers. It could have been a better movie but the way that it's written and BL's anemic performance left much to be desired. If I were to describe it in terms of the other MCU movies, it would be like if the first Captain America and the first Thor had a baby with AIDS.

Having finally gotten around to checking out Captain Marvel on a super legit cam stream, I think the biggest difference between this and previous Disney-Marvel offerings is it's the first time I felt like the lead was genuinely miscast. (Maybe the second time - Chadwick Boseman was serviceable as a cast member in Civil War but dreadfully boring as the lead in Black Panther). Although there have been boring Disney-Marvel films before (you mentioned Thor 2 which I actually fell asleep watching, and I'd add Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 and Ant-Man and the Wasp to that list), none of them felt like the title character was dragging the movie down.
 
The way I see it, whether Captain Marvel broke out or flopped on opening weekend, we were guaranteed that a group of smug spergs would have egg on their face and spend the next several weeks backpedaling. And then we'd get to make fun of them. And isn't that why we're here?

Boseman was dull as ditchwater as T'Challa, but I don't think it was his fault; there was nothing to sink his teeth into with the character. He just wants to be (and is, for the most part) The Good King, while all the interesting stuff goes to Killmonger and Klaw. There was no sense that he was actively disengaged from the whole thing, just that he was doing his best with a character that starts the movie practically perfect in every way.
 
Has there been any really solid origin movies besides Iron Man and Guardians? Captain Americas has been retroactively decided to be good but when that came out I remember it being the weakest received out of all of them. Ant-Man gets written off because it's the more blatant comedy of them all and I recall Dr Strange being roughly as well received as CM.

I can't recall any besides those aforementioned two being considered very good origin stories for their characters.

Maybe Homecoming though it's not really an origin movie. Other than that you'd have to go outside the MCU.
