    All right, so for me, I haven't seen this movie since I watched it in theaters. At the time I will admit I didn't really give it a chance, back then I would've given it a 3 out of 10. After watching it with you guys I would say it's a 6.5/7 out of 10. The biggest issue is that this is her(Captain Marvel) origin along with the pagers' origin. (because of the pagers' debut in the avengers infinity war end credit scene) This movie should have taken place at the end of phase 2.

    So the movie in this timeslot would could have been her second, The Marvels could be 3rd, to build her character a bit more. Basic idea she gathers a team of space heroes to defeat a villain who works for Thanos. Talos could be a member of her team. Then in the post credit scene her team starts falling a part and the pager goes off.

    I think something like that would have made people appreciate and sympathize with her more instead of feeling like she was forced onto us. The reason this is important is because we can see the difference in audience reaction between Captain Marvel and The Marvels. Captain Marvel: willing to give it a shot vs The Marvels: people not caring enough to see it. For reference Captain Marvel(film) made 1,131,416,446 at the box office while The Marvels(film) made 206.136.825. That is less than 20% of the original.

    Following my own rules I can't rate The Marvels, just had no desire to see it, but I saw Captain Marvel and I think it's an average marvel movie6.5/7 out of 10. Pros: Monica, Maria, Goose, Fury, Coulson. Cons: Villains', Timeline problems, Danver's mistakes(?), and Feige's Big Fat Lie(although power scaling is subjective). So I agree with the crew Fury and Coulson should definitely get a buddy cop movie/series leading up to og avengers. Goose is a tabby my fav house cat, I love orange, he's adorable and terrifying one of the best combinations out there. Monica and Maria I'm a sucker for a good Daughter/Mom combo. Individually Maria pilot there is always something cool about that. Monica is adorable like Goose, but with a fun wit that had me laughing a few times, and creative I liked her suit choice and the photo album. Unfortunately I don't think the villains are up to par the Supreme Intelligence is boring and I don't know Yon-Rogg's motivation is he a zealot, a loyalist, a sociopath or just an obstacle. Then the timeline problems with the movie taking place in the mid 90s(I believe 1995) she's unaccounted for over 20 years by infinity war: where has she been? who has she fought or befriended? how much growth has she had? why does she not look to have aged at all? Like I said above this should have been the end of phase 2 and this slot used for her 2nd movie. Danver's unintentional mistake: time placement meant she couldn't kill Ronan because he was the villain for first Guardians film, but I always wondered what her in universe reasoning was. There is also the fact she's been in space for 20+ years and never took on Thanos or his children. As we know thanks to Gamora he has been slaughtering half of various planets populations for a minimum of 20-25 years possibly more. Even if he only does this to 4 planets a year that's 80-100 planets minimum. (probably in the hundreds of billions to trillions range of casualties) Now I can't really blame her because again she was brought in to late for her to be shown doing something like this. It's probably my biggest beef the time placement. (bad writers go sit in the corner...oh AI taking your jobs clearly the Supreme Intelligence's true plan.) Then we get to Kevin Feige's Big Fat Lie(again power scaling subjective): “You’re going to get the most powerful superhero that we’ve ever introduced with, I think, one of the most unique and inspiring origin stories.”(statement by Kevin Feige). However Danver's is not the strongest superhero in the MCU at the time of Infinity War that would be Enraged Wanda(destroyed an infinity stone), Stormbreaker Thor(almost killed Thanos by cutting through the power of 6 infinity stones), Time-stone Dr. Strange(couldn't be used watch the How it Should Have Ended to know why), and Vision taking things seriously from the start. (we never get to see this except Age of Ultron and really he's a day old with no training yet.) The above four are interchangeable between themselves, but I would place Captain Marvel at fifth with potential to break into the top 3 we'll know before the reboot if this becomes true or not.

    Finally pay attention to her screen time in Endgame. Any I had fun watching this with you guys can't wait til tomorrow when I'll watch Endgame. I'm stoked to see your reactions to Endgame and Far From Home. All the feels are coming baby! Stand out everyone and remember have a beautiful time.

    PS I agree the lighting wasn't great at times.

    I hadn't watched this movie entirely since the cinema when it first came out. Was never a huge fan of it.

    It was definitely a bit better than I remember but I think it suffered the same issue as Ant-Man and The Wasp. Terrible placement left it feeling like a hurdle stopping people from seeing what they wanted to see, the main event.

    Dismissing the hate/dislike comments and just labelling anyone who feels that way as just misogynistic isn't exactly helpful to the conversation. It's the same mindset as the people who look at this and decide it's "woke" and therefore bad or not worth the time of day.

    As you said as well, people didn't like the release time. Originally it was "Infinity War Part 2". If it had been a Hawkeye and Black Widow movie, it would've been much better received.

    Then there's the subtle retcons. Calling it Shield even though that wasn't established as the shorthand until Coulson was in Iron Man.

    People don't like the reveal that a Cat was what destroyed Fury's eye.

    Naming the Avengers after a character that felt like she came out of nowhere and disappears just as quickly.

    Also, as you lot mentioned, she's too overpowered for some peoples tastes.

    All the stuff with people hating on Brie Larson too since a large chunk of the hate wasn't about the movie itself as you mentioned. She had a few out of context quotes + some awkward interviews that just mad her look bad at the time. Then seemingly no effort was put in to course correct and we end up with this outcome.

    Anyone saying this movie is 1/10 OR 10/10 are just going above and beyond to try and hurt the other side. Neither are helpful.

    Also, from what a lot of comictubers said around the time or after it, Carol Danvers isn't very liked as a character from the comics to begin with. I think that's why they straight up killed her off for a long time.

    Also also, unrelated but kind of related. As an Agents of Shield fan, knowing that Coulson should realistically be in his early to mid 20s in this is really throwing me off. Also it's nuts that Fury is only a Level 3 Agent.

    Also also also, please watch Agents of Shield.

    i haven’t seen this movie in years but wow was this amazing. i really don’t get the criticism at all. People are saying it’s her acting but i found her endearing the entire movie. Her “stoic” lines made sense for the character she’s portraying. She had her quirky moments too and i loved it so much! I did find her very OP, but what’s wrong with that? Thanos was introduced as extremely OP and everyone was scared af of him but thought he was a cool character. Now we have a character who’s on equal footing as him but she’s considered “too OP”?

    I never really thought much about why she’d be so OP but it makes sense when someone said in the video, she’s literally named after the marvel franchise 💀 why would someone named “Captain Marvel” not be one of the strongest people in the MARVEL universe.

    Either way, great movie & i’m glad i got to watch it with you guys, you guys are such cool people man. Money well spent!

    My biggest issue with this movie isnt brie larson its the writing team deciding instead of writing a heros journey were going to write the character like a villain and then treat her like a hero

    This is like if thor instead of being banished was instead praised

    This reaction was the first time I watched this movie.

    7/10, not amazing or groundbreaking, but it was a fun watch. I just wish Brie Larson put some more personality into her character. Feels like a Phase 1 or early Phase 2 MCU movie. If this movie came out like after the first Avengers movie or earlier I'd give this an 8/10 or 9/10.

    I didn't feel for the movie as much as i wanted too like story and background was great but i just think it's so far forward to introduce Captain Marvel. If this movie was released maybe after the first Guardians movie i feel like it would of made a great entrance for her then to put the Fury disappear part at the end of the film instead of an end credit then after the mid credits of this film at the end credits in Infinity War. Idk some people could probably put it better but yea non less story was great, background was great and comedy was great like i said it was placement of the film

    What really sucks about the woman hating comments, makes it to where those of us that didn't like it got mixed in with those 1 star sexist idiots. I personally gave it a 2 or 3 outta 5 at the time, just cause I was comparing it to the bangers recently and this one just felt slower to me. And as far as Captain Marvel as a character, the acting was honestly on point, she is not the most likable characters even in the comics.

    She's like Superman with an emotionless personality, I don't personally like over powered heroes that often. But I rank this about the same as the 1st ant man movie.

    Movie came out amidst the rise of THAT kind of internet discourse as well as people being kinda pissed about the introduction of a "new character" in the middle of the wait between infinity war and endgame, all in all just bad timing. The movie itself I think is perfectly decent, on the same level as most of the phase 1 marvel movies but that was my issue, I think it would have been much better for this to come out as a phase 1 or 2 marvel movie. I think it would have added a lot more to the hype of infinity wars end credit scene if Captain Marvel was established but kind of on the backburner compared to the rest of the MCU up until that point. I think reception also would have been better cause it would have atleast been pre-"everything that's not me is woke" discourse.

    My main problem with the movie is just the power set. Like superman, if you have all the power to do anything, then what could pose a challenge? What could change or make the hero have to learn/adapt/grow? I never liked superman for these reasons and after seeing what her powers were like, I never got interested in her either.

    The movie on it's own is ok. A little bland. Some funny moments. But they introduced her suddenly before the next big phase, and she was presented as the end all be all answer to the problem. Like if she was so powerful, why couldn't she have helped in Infinity War? Wouldn't word of what Thanos was doing reach her? Seemed like a cop out. Same sort of issue with Superman. You have to either have him be super busy to not fix the issue of the day or find a way to take him out for others to shine.

    Rewatching the film with you guys helped to remind me of why I didn't like it. Not because 'women invading' but more of the overall premise. That and they didn't give her any flaws or issues. A little too perfect.

    While I have some issues with Brie Larsons line delivery, I think that the reason I didnt enjoy this movie until rewatching it here is because of DIsney and their garbage timing. Infinity war had just happened and lots of people wanted to see a conclusion (endgame) or a movie about how the snap affected the more well known avengers. Giving the fans an origin story (while totally necessary) felt like a cop out to me. The main reason was that I felt like they could've introduced us to Carol earlier (Not by much but maybe before infinity war?) and had her interact with at some members of the wider main cast (aside from Nat in the mid-cred scene.) I think that they missed lots of opportunities to tie her in more with the Avengers (named after her btw) and the fact that she's just kind of "there" now makes it seem like Disney forced her in for (neckbeard alert "tHe WoKe AgEnDa" and "FeMiNiSt SuPrEmAcY") when she really was an important character that was just unlucky.

    Also if I remember correctly her and Chris Hemsworth had some beef (it was years ago idk if it was rly beef or just a disagreement or whatever.) and it rubbed alot of fans the wrong way about her character. Not that it's an excuse to hate on the movie or anything but lot's of people DO judge books by there cover.

      I just one day read a lot of hate stuff towards her and I decided not to listen to it. I love this movie for what it is and where it's placed. It's like One Piece, just a backstory before the real shit happens! I never got mad at that, so why would I get mad at this? I do have to agree to the point that a lot of people were making at this point, that there were to many superhero movies coming out and it didn't feel original anymore. But luckily Disney said they admitted they went for quantity and now finally see that it was hurting the MCU.

      There was no beef with Chris Hemsworth or Don Cheadle. That's what those people who hated her made up based on nothing but press intervies where they were joking with one another and being sarcastic. Those people even went as far as to make "body language videos" to prove it but it was all so dumb . Don Cheadel even had to come out and explain that it*s not true but those people still spread it . This comment section is a testament that they were successful because so many people spread that BS even to this day , saying they had beef or they didn*t like working together when it*s all made up by the people who hated her for stupid reasons

    Yeah the stilted stiffness of her character is meant to be part of the character. She's been indoctrinated for 6 years by a fascist space empire to believe she's part of a noble warrior hero race, and taught to show no emotion, with Yon-Rogg constantly reminding her of it. You can see her struggling with that the whole time. Never got the hate abt this movie.

      Her power level is really my only critique. After she loses the inhibitor its like she instantly understood the full extent of her powers and became a god. In one day she went from fighting with one arm behind her back to moving a spaceship across the galaxy. Scarlet Witch got her power from a stone, but we see her over the course of a couple movies learn to use it. She went from someone powerful, but inexperienced to a fully powered hero. She had moments of uncertainty and times where she messed up, but they helped her grow. It couldve been the same for Marvel, but her journey felt rushed since she only had one movie to explore her character/power before Endgame.

        its not. some movies have clear target demographics and people are right to want to hear from that toarget demographic instead of a person so far out of that demographic that they dont understand half of the nuances or narratives going on within the movie. EX: Pixars Turning Red. The movie was a allegory for young girls starting thier periods and all the emotional and hormonal changes that come with hitting puberty. And who were some of the biggest and loudest haters critiqing the movie? Adult men, ie: NOT THE TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC. These men missed the point so hard cause they didnt understand the narrative because they were NOT the targets. Also plenty male actors do and say far worse and still have booming careers, its not obviously a gender thing and to pretned its not its stupid and blind.

    It was ‘cool’ to hate on Captain Marvel and Brie Larson when it came out so that took over a lot of the press and public image, but I didn’t know anyone personally who didn’t like it. It’s not my favorite one, but it’s by no means as bad as people act like it is and all the criticisms I saw were mostly just bit hung and moaning. As a millenial, I loved the nostalgia of it like yall did and it’s such a good glimpse into a lot of background info with Fury. Plus Captain Marvel is legit cool. Like objectively so strong. It’s fun.

      The movie is not bad she just got alot of hate for making a sexist remark. Just take what she said and flip the gender around being a white guy saying they didn't want the opinion of women. It's a shame as it's not a bad movie

    My first time watching I didn't like it much because I really didn't connect to Carol and thought her acting was really emotionless and monotone. On this rewatch, though, I think I was a little too harsh on it. There are definitely some stand-out moments where the acting or writing are pretty bad, but the rest of the movie is quite good

    This still was a meh movie, part of problem is, some feel tricked watching it, Being before EG people expected something important happening other than "She exists". A&W felt like it had at least some set up before EG.

    The only "Feminist" move that really bothered me was changing Mar Vel to she. Mar Vel was male Kreean and Cap. Marvel before Carol. in fact she inherited name from him (Before she was Ms Marvel). As one who loves Earth Mightiest Heros, Their story and connection was great in that, I was really let down by the story in this movie.

    And the Biggest problem, Skrull. Them being victims. It was not only poor decision in this movie but in whole franchise. They are almost always depicted as Evil conquering race of infiltrating shape shifters. oh but what about "real and complexity" entire race bad? we cant have that. Really? Then what about Kree? Only one good Kree is Mar Vel, And I want to note, Nether Yondu nor Nebula are Kree (People mistake it because of Blue skin). Beaty of Kree-Skrull war was nether was good and earth was caught in crossfire, each side hade one or two who wanted to do better and fix their race. but now it is just one side evil other poor victims. which later hurt Secret Invasion, introducing them as victims, but suddenly there are evil ones.

      nick fury was white in the comics before sam jackson, i doubt you have a problem with that casting. The comics are always switching people's gender and race. the comics also always love making villains into heroes and vice versa. so much about guardians was changed from the comics but i doubt you had a problem with that either. All i am saying is to be honest with yourself and just accept you don't like the film and stop trying to justify it with comic lore bc that has never mattered for all of the other great marvel movies

    So looking back on this film it is better than I remember. My initial issue problem was that I felt like Brie Larson could have given the character a more fiery temper or personality, and some of that is there but more could have been added. I am recently watch the avengers earth's mightiest heroes show with blind wave, and when Carol Danvers shows up Jennifer Hale kind of gives her more of that personality that I wish was here.

    Nevertheless, some of those 1 star reviews you read do sound like review bombs from the time, where some people on the internet had issues with Brie Larson's perceived feminism and that the movie seem to push some sort of girl power message especially with the main character being op and having very little flaws. I.E. the mary-sue type. While I do see some of those points, I do feel like their are much worse example of that than this film.

    Also, in regards to the political messaging, what they are possibly referring to is the fact that the twist in the movie that shows that the skulls are not the bad guys but are instead victims of this war that are just looking for a new home and the Kree are villainizing them by mentioning that they are "invading their borders" and are "hurting innocent people" it does seem like an on the nose allegory for the politics of the time. I.E. Trump's first term and push to keep out illegal Mexican immigrants.

    All in all, this movie was good but not great and does feel like it's mostly here so that people aren't questioning who captain marvel is when she pops up in Endgame, and even after seeing that film this one does feel a bit skippable 🤔. Also last note, many don't like that they showed how Fury lost his eye here: one because it's lame and two because it contradicts a line said in winter soldier.

    I'm glad you guys are enjoying the movies in general. A lot of people complained about this movie without even seeing it as they did with The Marvels because of the slight feminism aspect to it and because they had a problem with Brie Larson. Which from my understanding was only because she was asked who would win in a fight, Captain Marvel or Thanos and she answered it quickly with Captain Marvel would, which she wasn't wrong, without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos wouldn't be able to out power her lmao. But I'm sure there are some other dumb reasons for them to review bomb without even going to see the movie.

    It's a good film and the hate it gets is mostly just anti-woke nonsense. The 'overpowered' criticism has some validity to it though I think. Suddenly dropping the strongest person ever in between an Avengers two-parter, after years of buildup and Thanos being this unstoppable force just felt cheap. It’s like, "Oh by the way this has been here the whole time, and she's more powerful than everyone ever, anyways lets continue." I can see why that bothered some people. It almost felt like they were throwing a get out of jail free card into the plot. Unfortunatetly because of the the sexist nonesense from people who probably didn't even watch the film, it's hard to tell where the legit critiques are.

    to me the movie itself is fine, i love coulson and fury and just about everything. i just dont like brie larson as an actress. not because of what she's said or that she's a woman, i just dont like her acting. every line from her feels fake or forced and i have trouble believing it. and it's not just her, i have that issue a little bit with ruffalo and sometimes brolin too, some actors just dont do it for me every time. not to mention the spoiled basically the main climax in the trailer which made it kinda fall flat in the theater. it's a 5/10, which isnt a bad score but its probably the least rewatchable movie for me.

    The “problem” that most people had with this film was that they were fed an out of context quote from Brie Larson by right wing grifters and they used that to fuel their vitriol. Also it didn’t help that in the comics, Carol’s popularity began to dwindle because of the way she was written in Civil War II.

    As Ruff said, Brie made a comment during a panel FOR A DIFFERENT MOVIE and said she wants to see more women and people of color and less white guys be movie critics especially when it’s a film a white guy can’t relate to.

    There are valid criticisms about the movie like beat points of the plot being off or all over the place, the lighting etc. BUT most of the hate was because people did not like seeing a cocky OP female superhero that doesn't have their femininity as part of their allure. Brie Larson being the embodiment of cocky confident female during interviews didn't help with being "appealing" at that time either. Lots of fans also hyper analyzed interviews with her and the cast and just dissected it with the conclusion that the rest of the cast hates her or is uncomfy with her cus she was "annoying". She was very pro feminism unapologetically as well so you can just imagine where the stupid hate came from. Arguably, it being released in between infinity war and end game helped it a lot in box office.

    One of the number one reason I know people disliked this move was how they suddenly made her the "Strongest character" out of nowhere, like during an interview months before it even came out. Like. stronger than Thor who we just saw take the full brunt of a dwarf star, or Wanda who was ragdolling half of the avengers almost single handedly in the Airport Battle, incapacitated Thor, Steve, Nat, and Banner in quick succession in AoU, ripped out Ultron's vibranium heart through his vibranium body, and can disable Vision. Or, you know, Vision's super strength, mindstone, intanginbility, etc etc. Or Doctor Strange. But nope, they just said even before movie came out that she was the strongest, and then she was just... meh. Like, the peak of what she did in this movie was not even close to comparable to Thor in IF.

    Or also the fact that in Marvel, at the time, in the comics, Captain Marvel was just not powerful. During the Civil War 2 comic line, she arrested Spider Man (believe it was the Miles version to) because of a crime that a mutant child saw in the future, and Carol takes it as an absolute certainty, and this ends up leading to a war that kills a lot of the heroes. So she wasn't popular there either, so her coming in, after IF and a lot of people died, and then they go "Oh yeah, this character who hasn't been well liked for a few years, yeah, she's stronger than all of your favorites, and even their villains, and she is going to save the day" and yeah, the movie got hated on.

      Just to clarify No heroes die during Civil War 2. The closest is Rhodey being killed by Thanos at the start of the story but coming back later. No one else died. And in Civil War 2 Everyone was an asshole. Tony was commiting war crimes and torturing the kid who was getting the future visions. So everyone was an asshole in the story.

        Sorry, you are correct. I got Civil War One casualties and Civil War Two casualties conflated, its been a few years. However, there were at least two confirmed popular heroes killed, those being Bruce Banner Hulk (killed by Hawkeye at the time even though it later got retconned and he ended up coming back), and Rhodey died (killed by Thanos until later retcon), Jenn Walters was in a coma, amd Tony dies (until he is cloned). So yeah, heroes do die. And Tony isn't great either in that story line. But Carol 100% was the one more at fault. She arrested Spider-Man for a crime he hadn't even committed yet, or been close to committing, because some kid with mutant powers, and it was revealed later they weren't even 100% accurate either, just a possible future, told her what Spider-Man *might* do.

    Personally I’d give the movie a 6.5-7/10 it’s not the worst marvel movie but it’s definitely not the top 10. It just feels so disjointed with everything we’ve already seen. It’s really hard to make a character later in the series but make them in the past. The whole movie my first time watching was just where was she when thanos was out killing half of planets before the stones. She’s been around for like 20+ years before iron man. I know there are probably cannon reasons but that kinda feels like lazy writing.

    You have to remember at the time captain marval came out a month before alita battle angel had come out which has a similar theme of lost memories. So you have one which is a heart wrenching story that made many cry for her compared to captain marvals meh emotional performance. Don't get me wrong I like it I just think that they missed a huge chunk of emotional stuff that would have helped people connect with her character. Frankly it's just pure action with some interesting twists and turns.

    I really hope people stop sharing misinformation online that other Marvel cast members disliked working with Brie Larson when that's not true at all nor that she*s a bad person. Certain fans online that hated her made that up and even started doing "body language" analysis videos to support their insane theories saying Don Cheadle and/or Chris Hemsworth hated her bcs of dry humor jokes during interviews. Don Cheadle even came out and said that the rumors that he disliked Brie are false but everyone who kept saying that ignored it and further spread it. It’s ridiculous . And everyone else on the Endgame press tour was very friendly with her. It’s insane what things some people are spreading just because they hate her for her comments which aren’t bad at all. She made a speech at an industry event saying not all movies are geared towards white man and white critics around 2018 or 2017 and she also said in an interview that society expects women always to always smile and be pleasant and calls them bad words otherwise. I fail to see what*s so bad about that as a woman and I certainly agree and itcertainly doesn*t warrant thousands of people still hating on her to this day.

    Personally, I just found it to be a rather boring movie. I wasn't all that interested in Carol's story line and it feels a bit forced introducing her right between the two finale movies of the MCU. Also really didn't like that this is the "reveal" of how Fury's eye got damaged. They made it sound so badass in Winter Soldier only for it to be... a cat. It's just lame.

    I've heard a lot of people have similar complaints with Carol in the comics ever since she became Captain Marvel. I've learned she was quite well loved when she was Miss Marvel, but ever since taking the Captain's mantle, it's been a lot of rough patches with many different comic cancellations over the years due to low interest. I remember seeing her in Earth's Mightiest Heroes and she was a much more interesting and well rounded character there.

    Anyways, good for you guys for liking the movie, but for me, this will always be a skip when rewatching the MCU.

      I always find it amusing that everyone upset by the Fury eye thing is always "It was just a cat" when literally the most Fury thing in the world is to take something as mundane as a cat scratch and turn it into the single most iconic and mysterious part of his persona. Also, not a cat. Fury literally got mauled and permanently scarred by a cosmic hyper predator. So it's simultaneously the most mundane and singularly badass thing that could happen. And that is also extremely Nick Fury. That the coolest thing could happen to him, but due to space weirdness, it's just... "Meh". I wouldn't have it any other way.

The same thing would happen with She-Hulk.

    There's a long complicated history behind Marvel Comics obtaining the trademark "Captain Marvel" that goes back to Fawcett Comics creating "Captain Marvel" (who would eventually become DC's Shazam) in 1940 and getting sued by National Comics (who would become DC Comics) for being a Superman ripoff in 1951. After "Atlas Comics" rebranded as "Marvel Comics" they eventually created "Captain Marvel" because the trademark was up for grabs and made bunch of Captain Marvel Comics just to keep the trademark. Carol Danvers wasn't first, or even the second, Captain Marvel. But she is the current and most popular one.

        While I'd also love for them to react to it and agree its worth watching with the MCU if possible its just so long and from the era of big ass seasons so i believe its just not possible to throw in with whats active and what they have in mind to watch. also its all the people mentioning needing to watch or not from the moment they started the mcu causing the vibe given when brought up i'm sure they would love to if it was possible and not such an undertaking even if they had more time five seasons of 22 episode seasons followed by another two seasons with 26 combined episodes.

    the two only things that i have issue with this movie is that, "S.H.I.E.L.D." shouldn't be what they call it. "S.H.I.E.L.D.", came to be known as "S.H.I.E.L.D." by the end of Iron Man. Before hand they would just say the whole name. The second issue is, that Fury should have known what the tesseract was. because in Avengers 1, he said that Howard stark found it in the ocean while looking for Captain America. And Capt. Marvel takes place in between Capt. America and Iron Man, timeline speaking. And if Howard would have fished the tesseract out of the ocean. Fury should have known what is was, and should have been wondering why the hell the tesseract was in a space ship. it was in "S.H.I.E.L.D." custody before the events in Capt. Marvel.

    And all the bull crap that this movie got. was because it came out near the end of Trumps first term. We all know his views about a certain group of people. So for this to come out when it did, I'm not surprised that those types of reviews were given for this movie. Capt. Marvel is an amazing story, and it f-ing sucks that production was rushed and it got this amount of hate. Just for telling a story that was originally written decades ago.

Trump being president lead to those reviews. if anyone else besides him was president at the time, we would not have had those types of reviews. Movie should be reviewed just off the movie.

    So one of the reasons why she was hated out the Gate is due too how she is in the comics,she's kinda an asshole and literally started a 2nd civil war cuz she wanted to kill miles (from spiderverse) and the event ended with her putting tony(who was protecting miles) in a coma.. and fans never really forgave the character since then..

    There were a lot of moving pieces that led to Captain Marvels reception not being great despite the film suceeding. Marvel was making clear at that time they were planning to move the universe more towards a female focus. They actually sold Larson on being a focus point of the universe post end game. But she made some not great comments during press runs + fans not liking some of her acting in the film + feeling she was kinda forced in right between infinity war and endgame and fans were meant to accept her as a main face. It was just a lot.

      It wasnt because she was a woman or black. She was a cocky MC who thinks they are better than Tony, Banner, and Hawking in the first couple minutes. "Do you think Tony Stark would be Tony Stark if he wasn't a billionaire" ~ meanwhile in Ironman 1 "TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN A CAVE. WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS." Tony is Tony because of his intelligence, not his money.

    From what I remember when this movie came out. Bree Larson was not a loved actress. In a way, rightfully so. Even the other cast members hated or disliked her. There are a lot of fans who thought someone else should've played Captain Marvel.

    The second reason most people were mad was how they boosted her abilities. In the comics and the overall lore. Captain Marvel was not as nearly strong as she was in this film. Iron man could 1v1 her and dominate. And this movie was when the push for making the female only marvel verse. Most fans had no problems with strong female characters. Black Widow, Gamora, Mantis, Nebula, Agent Carter. Those were epic women that everyone loved.

      The claim that “Brie Larson was not a loved actress” is just not true. She was awarded multiple times for her performance in Room and had plenty of goodwill among people in the industry. She was basically unknown to most MCU fans when she was casted, except maybe fot those who saw her in Community, but since she was the lead in the first Marvel movie led by a woman, she absorbed all of the criticism the movie received and was scrutinized for flaws that people had regularly overlooked in male leads. like her quiet activism compared to Mark Ruffalo, or her seriousness compared to Benedic Cumberbatch. Exacerbated by the fact that the algorithm of the site were people watched interviews, often recommended the most negative content online.

      Further, the idea that “even the other cast members hated or disliked her” is simply wrong. The only so-called proof comes from YouTube videos made by some of the most desperate hatemongers online, using clips that are honestly some of embarrassing reaches imaginable.

      Also while it’s generally true that most fans have no issue with strong female characters, none of the ones you mentioned were leads in their respective stories. (I’m not counting Agent Carter since it was simply too niche to attract a dedicated anti-fanbase.) The reason Captain Marvel and Brie Larson got more negative attention is because she was a lead. The same thing happened to Jessica Jones, and that was honestly one of the best things the MCU ever produced.

    I think one of the major reasons for Marvel's hate is her comic counterpart. She is NOT a good character in the comics, one of them being her directly starting a second Civil War event. This anger transfer over to the movies.

    Another reason is...she kinda poorly written in this film. I mean, her last fight with her captain proved she didn't learn anything. He pretty much says 'You think you are more than your powers. Then fight me without them'. And she responds by blasting him with her powers, proving him right. She goes through little to no struggle internally. Think of characters like Tony and Steve. They are more than their powers. But Carol...she's just her powers.

    And I say this as someone who loved Carol. My first encounter with her was Earth's Mightiest Heroes (a show you guys SHOULD watch). Her writing in that show is leagues above what the MCU has done with her.

      From what I got she struggles with her identity with 6 years of not knowing who she was and then the events of the movie finding it out, also coming to terms with the 6 years of missed life on earth and the fact that she's been used and lied to. She also as her life of a bad relationship with parents and always being looked down on yet still pushing getting back up and joining the military plus all that brings and the outcome we see.

      So with that to me she's had internal and external struggles before and during this movie. And once she regains her self she has no need for more just the goal, so knowing who the bad guy is we go kick there ass.

      Sure without powers she is just human and would just get beat by a Kree soldier in a 1v1 fist fight as would pre serum Steve or no suit Tony.

      That's one part of why I think giving in to his "claim" does nothing the other is because even without using blasts, she'd still be superhuman using some of the powers she got and just have a boring fist fight for some fake sense of approval from someone she doesn't want it from and its not like he gave her powers, he saved and taught her some alien fighting moves while using her.

      So I personally disagree that her last fight proved she learned nothing because the fight had nothing to teach imo and to go on one of your other replies Yon Rogg isn't Palps in RotJ to me... he be the death star taking the shot that blows it up after the space stuff in A New Hope xD but again that's just my view I respect and get yours just wanted to share mine <3

      I have to disagree with her final fight with Yon Rogg, she didn't prove him right. She didn't have to prove anything to him. He stole her from her home, gaslighted her about who she really was and what her limits are, and then tried to curry their old dynamic with her. She no longer needs his approval. Also I would say her internal stuggle was finding out everything she thought was true about her life was false, and rediscovering who she is and who she wants to be. If the reconilliation with the truth happened too quick, chalk it up to her family helped get her through the storm

        He basically said 'You'd be nothing without those powers. Don't believe me, prove me wrong.' Followed by her blasting him with the very powers he said she'd be nothing without them. Again, you don't just beat the villains by 'beating' them. You do it by proving them wrong. Don't believe me? Then why didn't Luke just murk Palps in Return of the Jedi? Because he knew that doing it that way would only damn himself, and prove the Emperor right.

      Okay, using Jude Law's words, who is like main villain in this movie, to say she had no growth is weird. Everything she was told in Hala was a lie, he killed her mentor. She could have easily killed him but instead knocked him down. Her growth in this movie was that remembered she was courageous woman before her powers using those powers for good, to help the Skrulls find a home. Yeah, there could be more character development, but for one movie it was pretty decent.

        She remembers she was a courageous woman...yet acts the same after finding that out. Such growth!

        And you don't just beat the villains by beating them up. You beat them by proving they are wrong. If she wanted to prove the Captain wrong, she should've done it without her powers. Hell, I'd think it would do well for her character if she tried, was about to lose, and had to use it to win. It would show that she has potential growth because it would prove him right, but show that she only used it as a last resort, not first response.
