      @Gundam-Fury lol as much as I like Paul Rudd, that was his sequel to a movie that was passable at best. Plus Nick Fury wasn't buzzing for Antman before getting dusted, he was buzzing for a character yet to be shown in the MCU which who debuted after one of the biggest cliffhangers in the MCU. By then people already knew who Antman was. Seriously cope harder

      @@Gundam-FuryYou do realize that Captain Marvel was the big tease at the end of Infinity War, one of the highest grossing movies of all time? Of course it’s gonna be a box office hit because of it somewhat answering one of cinema’s largest cliffhangers. Also, it was a brand new property, unlike the Ant-Man franchise, which already established its level of quality.
      Ant-Man and the Wasp didn’t have any of that hype, but was instead marketed as a fun movie before the intensity of Endgame. Not a super necessary watch.

    I think the concept of the Multiverse has to be let go. It’s messing with continuity and tone throughout projects. I miss when they released two or three movies a year with zero shows in between and yes, these movies connected but it didn’t feel like homework to know so much. It felt like a self contained story and you could be a casual fan and enjoy it for the plot whether you had seen the previous movies or not.

      @SupercutsDelight  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +36

      I feel like the shot during 8:02 disproves that given Kamala and Monica are both using their powers on screen at the same time. So even if that is the explanation then it's still inconsistently used. I wish I can rewatch the explanation since they essentially speedrun it.

      Then...in the final battle...why don't leave the "most powerful superhero" that fought head to head against someone who have in his hands the most powerful objets in the universe to defeat the generic villan with...a hammer and an artefac that does something similar to the power stone in terms of absorbing powers?
      The excuse was that they teleported randomly never got explain effectively and worse, it was just an excuse to nerf Captain Marvel to the point to make everything look "even".
      That is my major concern/problem with OP characters, that you just can expect anything such as stuggle or even temporary defeat when they can end everything before even start, and even character that are Gods or super powerful wizards are limited to set of rules that limited them and make them weak compare to their respective antagonists.
      But then you have characters like Captain Marvel (or at least before Gaia used to be) and more recently Loki that there mere existence is ridiculous to tell a story because they just can outperform everything unless something even more ridiculous happens (like in the case of this movie).

    • @Phoenix_of_Sun
      @Phoenix_of_Sun 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @@SupercutsDelight Yeah, I would agree about it feeling inconsistent. I'm just saying that I think that was the explanation they were going for. If you watch the clip at 8:02, it seems like they were trying to go for an alternating thing where Kamala makes her platform, then Monica shoots her light beam, then Kamala shoots her light wall so technically they never use their powers at the same time. But, given that the actors are still making the hand gestures or body movements like they are using their powers and it happens so fast, it definitely comes off as confusing.

      She took off from kamalas house into space, so my guess is she flew to the ship and saved the other two.

So thats why sometimes theyre able to use their powers and not switch if the others arent using their powers. Although it is inconsistent at some points, it made sense in most of scenes.

    The swapping mechanic is not that hard to understand.
    #1 The swap happens if two or more of them use their powers at the same time.
    #2 Powers stay active after the swap.
    This was all explained by them after they figured out the parameters after the initial confusion.
    When only one person uses her powers, she can do it without any problems. When two persons use their power at the same time, they swap places.
    So when one of them was shown using their powers without swap, that meant neither of the two others were using their power. When "random" swap happened, someone else was usign power simultaneousy.
    After they figured the mechanics out, they coordinated the swaps in the latter part of the movie.

    I love to follow your channel, your analysis are always enjoyable to watch and I see many of your points, but I disagree and think that calling the movie a failure would be going too far. I hope it succeeds in box office, and I even told my wife that it finally felt like a good Marvel movie again (way better than Ant Man 3, and Multiverse of Madness). Of course, to each its own, and I think I personally enjoyed or didn't mind some aspects that were awful for you. To be fair, I haven't finished watching Secret Invasion (I want to give it a chance, even though I've already seen a lot of criticism about it), so I'm not sure how much this would influence my opinion.
    I don't have much time to write, so long story short: I agree that Nick Fury could have been MUCH better; he was supposed to be the master spy, but took too long to make important decisions (like evacuating the space station) and seemed to not have crucial information that he definitely should've had. The villain could be more memorable but I guess her arc was that she started taking extreme actions to save her people of a weirdly explained problem. I guess the Krees having a Civil War while being technologically advanced means that they ended up destroying their own resources. Basically, Danvers created a major power vacuum which is filled by the villain after the civilization nearly destroy itself. I think the point is that the villain wanted to save her people, but couldn't help being hellbent on revenge against Carol. It was not just about getting air, water and sunshine for her people, but also about hurting Carol as much as possible in the process. But they could've made her more memorable with this. I also wish they explored more this idea of Carol being a very OP human that has to face the consequences of her actions. For the inconsistent switch, I interpreted it as they only got teleported when two or more used their powers simultaneously, and in some fights it made me apprehensive every time they used their powers, because you could never know when the switch would happen. Anyway, I agree the movie could be a lot better, but I hope it doesn't fail.

    So it’s more complicated than just the temperature plummeting if your star dies. A dying star turns into a red giant, which expands in size and would most likely, swallow any planet in the habitable zone. So the temperature on the planet would get hotter first, then cooler, assuming it would survive the expansion of the star. Which it probably wouldn’t.

    Without re-watching the movie with pause capabilities, I can't say for sure if the swapping mechanic was inconsistent. It was supposed to happen anytime more than one of them used their powers at the same time, so they wouldn't swap places if just one of the characters was using her powers.
    I enjoyed the movie, but I am easy to please. I understand why people aren't as enthused as they once were. We were spoiled by Phase 3. I would like to see Marvel go back to writing strong individual stories that just happen to tie in with the bigger picture a little, rather than making movies and shows that seem to only exist in order to introduce a new character or connect to some future plot line. Each story should be able to stand on its own AND be part of a larger whole.

    Here's my take: Growing up I read Iron Man. I read Captain America comics. I read the Hulk comics, watched the cartoons, saw the TV shows. Also Captain Marvel was a guy who said "Shazam" in order to change from a boy into a guy superhero....which is what the movie Shazam is/was. The problem was Captain Marvel was sued by the creators of Superman saying that it was a direct ripoff of Superman. So Capt. Marvel disappeared for a few decades due to this. Now they decided to bring him back but not call him Capt Marvel, they just called the movie Shazam. Then they tried to rewrite it so it was a chick. With a convoluted backstory. Shes from earth, but was serving in some corps on another planet?
    So basically they serve up a new Captain Marvel to me, but she looks like a sorority girl from UCLA wearing a power rangers suit. Thats not Capt. Marvel, but they are telling me, no it IS her now. Ok. Then they come out with this current movie and not only is it her in a power ranger suit, she now has two other nobodys also in power ranger suits.
    I dont know these characters, I have no investment in these characters, I dont recognize this new Capt. Marvel at all. They are trying to make a big thing out of nobody characters that no one wants to see.
    Has Marvel blown its load with all the main Stage 1 characters? Im afraid so. Iron man, capt. America, the Hulk, all had thier movies and then did the Avengers movies. The fat lady has sung, all the people playing the characters all are above 40 yrs old now, some over 50, and they all left the MCU for other projects.
    But Disney does not want to hear that the fat lady has sung. After all, they bought Marvel and now they have to keep wringing money of of the property, the same was they bought Star Wars and they want to keep making money with that as well. This causes dilution, wringing every last drop out for profit. The result is shitty little side series like Hawkeye and that girl, or bad Star Wars movies. People are burned out. As for Star Wars, I ignore the last three crap movies. On my Mantle with the DVDs and Tapes I got the first three, the second three, and thats it. Story complete.
    I dont know what DIS and Marvel is going to do. They already covered the main guys. Keep rebooting like the Spiderman movies?

About halfway through episode two, I realized how completely mistaken I was watching it. I looked in the mirror and realized that I was not a 14 year old girl, and there was absolutely nothing remotely interesting about this character. The powers were stupid and it was more like an Afterschool Special than a Marvel series. The only things missing were the Cover Girl and Clearasil advertisements. This, plus the robotic portrayal of Captain Marvel, and my complete lack of interest in Rambeau, euthanized the point zero one seconds of interest I had in seeing this movie.

They also explain for the switching mechanic that they have similar light powers and also came in contact with a space singularity at the same time thats how they got entangled. they also show that they have to activate their power at the exact same time in order for them to switch they dont teleport all the time cause sometimes they dont use their power at the same time also it doesnt always work there is a probability to happen thats why they train to make it more manageable which they kinda manage and also the fight scene are rly fun bcs of that
