The "I like this one" line from Thor is concerning.

The entire fucking movie is going to be used to prop up Captain Marvel, where all of the "old, weaker Avengers" compliment her the entire time, isn't it?

Marvel. WHY. Why are you tripping at the finish line like this?! They are undoing everything they've built over the past 10 years.

There were some rumors flying around that Captain Marvel actually gets de-powered in the movie. I don't know how true that is, but I hope that's the case. It would be a pretty great fake-out if the crew were going to space for their first battle, only to get their asses kicked before they have a victorious plan (a victorious plan that doesn't involve Captain Marvel).

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.

That’s a ....really strong Superman parallel.

Look at that like-to-dislike ratio ... lol.

She is seriously a stuck up bitch in this video. No hyperbole. These Wired videos typically come across as pretty light hearted and fun. Larson comes across as the type of person you're consistently uncomfortable around.

I could comic book sperg about this for an hour, but I will spare you all from it. The answer is no. Even at her strongest (when she was Binary), she still wouldn't beat Superman.

Holy shit lol, the more Brie opens her mouth, the more I fall on the floor into laughter of how much of a fucking idiot she is and the fact that she still exists to this day.
Brie cannot act, she's not intelligent, she lies; people like her are horrifyingly insane that it's getting depressing!

That was a little weird. I got the impression that she was trying to be sarcastic/deadpan humorous, or as the kids used to say in airquotes back in the 90s, "ironic". But it just... didn't really land and made her seem like a snob.
Also, why is she made up to look 40+? Isn't she like 28? She has that strange thing going on with her eyes that middle-aged rich women get (possibly because botox) that says, "Hey, I don't blink. Get me my damned newspaper, Harold."

Oh no. Oh god, no. Endgame is just shameless marketing for the upcoming CaptainMarvel Cinematic Universe. It is not a real movie meant as a capstone to the last decade of stroytelling like everyone was expecting.

It's "what if our She-ro had been there to stop the snap?" Find out over the next seven films.

Ca-Poochie Marvel
 
I know it's a trend to make fun of Brie Larson's looks, but I'm not going to do that. I think she's pretty. All of the stuff about her "not having a butt" is pretty much because you can tell that she worked out too much and ate nothing with any sort of fat in it. It gave her "man ass." lol. If she had been working out and if she had eaten a few carbs, she would have definitely filled out the costume better. That's the sort of thing that women have to deal with when it comes to our bodies; we have to find a balance of exercise and diet to look fit but still curvy at the same time. Haha. So yeah, I'm not going to hate on her for that. If anything, she was clearly dedicated to be fit for the movie.

However, yes, some of the things that Brie has been styled in definitely age her and make her look more frumpy.

It's trendy among feminists to "ugly" themselves, really. And it's a trend for them to wear pantsuits to pay homage to their lord and savior, Hillary Clinton. lol.

That said, she looked gorgeous at the World Premiere of the film, I think:

That sounds absolutely terrible and the more I hear about Endgame the less interested I am in seeing it. I'll probably pirate it at this point.
 
If I were optimistic, Thor's line could be taken in the context of him wanting to rush Thanos again and rectify his mistake of not going for the head (which everyone else is against because they want to plan things better). Seeing what happened to him in both Ragnarok and Infinity War, he's probably got a death wish...
 
Does anyone think that Current Year (tm) has gone so far to the point where feminists, the media, and the critics would be going out of their way to "protect" Halle Berry's Catwoman movie if it had been released today?

Because I seriously think we've hit a point where, yes, that would happen. We'd be seeing blog posts everywhere about how important it is to have a "woman of color" leading a comic book movie. Tumblr would have lost their minds over it.

They'd shill the absolute crap out of Catwoman, Elektra, etc up until the minute it passes through the pop culture limelight so they can start pretending the movie never happened in order to hype the next Stronk Womyn capeshit movie.

More frustrating than the unnecessary politicization of all these movies is how transparently it's being used just for marketing if you have a longer memory than a goldfish. I hate that more than the politics of everyone involved.

Infinity War took no risks. The snap was predictable and it's just as predictable that everyone minus maybe Ironman and Captain America will come back to life in the next one.

Well the snap was a foregone conclusion. I just wanted to see who got it. I already know how it's gonna end, I just want it to be a fun ride
