The rudimentary research into space travel at light speed, amounts of solar systems and planets and all that is totally something I recommend people look into to get more accurate numbers, I just did a few google searches with Fringy and checked a couple of websites. It seems I might have underestimated the distances and made a few mistakes that makes it all seem smaller than it is but that would only make the overall point more relevant; Light speed just aint gonna cut it, not by a long shot when it comes to travelling between galaxies.
1:10:32 Damn you REALLY need to take an astronomy class. The galaxy has billions of star systems, not 500. AND our solar system is 8 light hours, not 2.5 light years. edit: I consider this a personal attack
You can't tell that light speed traveler how fast they can go. Don't you try to keep them down. A woman's light speed is much faster than a man's light speed anyway.
I love how a big part of the story is that shes "too emotional" and she "needs to control her emotions." But she puts almost zero emotions into the role.
Yep, only covers the monotone part of her personality. Whereas the animated CM in the 2010s, she's a badass in the battlefield and the fun big sister when she's Carol Danvers.
I have very little control over my emotions. It is something I have struggled over my whole life. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy affect me the most. This is not what being "too emotional" looks like. Like, when she was a kid in the kart racing accident, she should have been fuming or bawling or ANYTHING besides having a blank face. During the scene where she was sparing with the other guy in the beginning of the movie, she should have been defeated despite her powers because her judgement was clouded by how emotional she was. Maybe she accidentally hits someone or breaks something in a fit of rage at being worse than the other guy. I can't sense any emotions in this character, especially not any that are "too emotional" to the point of hampering her.
@@finrodbrs If one compares Captain Marvel to Captain America, it's like comparing Saitama to Mumen Rider in One Punch Man; one is powerful to the point of being impossible to get any drama out of, while the other faces impossible odds and keeps getting back up even when knowing that he can't win. Except unlike One Punch Man, the Captain Marvel movie lacks the self-awareness to emulate this.
@@joshuakim5240 Saitama never backed up either. That is why he got beat up at first. Its just that the opponents just can't keep up. He even mentioned that on both seasons of the anime. First time was to Genos, the 2nd time was to Blizzard.
It could have been a story depicting the conflict between the Kree, the Skrull, and a young Nick Fury thrown in between, forced to figure out just what his place is among these alien factions, having to come to terms with realizing that humanity isn't the masters of the universe but more like an ignored puppy on a backwater planet. The Kree were superadvanced, their motivations were intentionally kept shallow, but their motivations were what started this entire mess in the first place. Their motivation is effectively the one thing that can be considered the true antagonist (not the figurehead antagonist that needed to be propped up against the cardboard protagonist), but we barely get anything to understand it. They didn't want us to understand the story or appreciate the foundations - they just slapped together a foundation and assumed that because the mainline story was already accepted, whether it made sense or had any depth didn't matter. The Kree/Skrull conflict was used as a framing device for the protagonist, but somehow even when it is neglected, it is more interesting than the protagonist. The director or writer was apparently so obsessed with making the movie revolve around the lead actress that they never considered what a prequel movie could have actually done for the big picture. If they had any consideration for making it an interesting story, they could have at least put her through an actual arc, or else use her a framing character to make the Kree/Skrull conflict or the other lead characters more prominent. But in tried and true fashion, this wasn't about the big picture or about the team, just about the leading lady.
Mauler's problem here is, not only does HE remember prior films in the series, and even prior scenes in this film, he expects the writers of this film to do so also.
Yeah doesn't he know from all the marvel sheep is consume content and don't ask questions. That's why we love marvel because they dont care about the project or their audience. It's cool
@@bananaboi9067 Sure. Whatever. Except that marvel fans are some of the harshest critics of the MCU. Are there diehards that will just be happy with anything that they get? Sure. By and large, though, they are not happy and they are letting the MCU overlords know it.
@@daverobson3084 wtf is the MCA? jokes aside, you're coping hard. Marvel fans are some of the least thinking sheep of any fandom in the world. Why do you think marvel movies still make money? The fans.
ᛈᛖᛏᛖᚱ ᚷᚱᛖᛖᚾ i would also sign, it wouldn’t be too late for a petition for the digital and blue ray release to have it. I just hate the logic of why they decided to use the intro with captain marvel instead, a movie a lot of people hated and didn’t want to see.
It is the *first* Marvel movie after Stan's death. It is best to remember him as soon as they have the opportunity. Following this logic, his intro can be in any big movie by Marvel, not just Endgame. There will be bigger movies. Movie is kind of good if you forget there's Brie Larson in it. C'mon, young Samuel Jackson!
excuse me, but as an Ed Edd and Eddy fan, calling this woman "Plank" is grossly offensive, Plank has much more charisma and screen presence than this board does.
@@flyufoolz Frustration, confusion, anger, happiness, sarcasm. MauLer displayed more emotions with his voice exclusively that Larson did not display with her entire being.
Just watched this again at random. Here's a fun thought. I'm a former Marine Corps aircrewman and I work for a USAF fighter squadron as a civilian now. I start with this to establishment my credentials on the subject of call signs. I hear my call sign more than my name on any given day of the week. So here's the skivvy. If you have a bad ass call sign like "AVENGER"... your squadron is taking the piss out of you. Like, I met a guy with the call sign "HAMMER" once upon a time. As in "Dumb as a box of". Heard of another guy, Tomcat driver this time, with the call sign KILLER. Guess what he did? Friendly fire accident. Don't have the details on that one, but I assume no one died or he'd not have continued to fly, but his squadron, and every squadron he was with till he got out? Made sure he never forgot that fuck up. So. As a fun shower thought exercise for the day dear reader, what stupid thing did Plank do to earn the call sign "AVENGER"?
I love the college grade debate point though, "you need to watch it yourself to judge though". No. It's cute, and works in theological debates, but i'm sure as hell i don't want to get bitten by a shark, because i'm informed enough to know it's bad, before hand. I'm not going to put myself in a sharks mouth, just to make an armchair theologian feel warm and happy. I'm not giving these guys a dime to watch it. I'm so confident in my decision, i won't even watch it when this flop gets HD rips on the stream sites. (notice how good films take ages to come out in decent quality, but the flops are there in HD from the get go.) I won't watch it for free, i won't watch it if they offer me a free ipad or some other bribe. The film from the get go is toxic, and i'm not going to spend money to go see it, to satisfy somebody, that ultimately, still won't respect my opinion, but ultimately MCU will see a sale, and think "nope, we still made bank, we did ok". All this movie has done, is make me panic that if Brie Larson is really, "carrying the torch" now, Endgame might not hit the potential it could have, say, in an extended universe without Brie Larson. Remember guys, celebrity is a platform, where she's responsible for pushing her agenda. God i loved Jeremy Renner's response to that.
funny how everyone in the movies criticism of her is "she's too emotional" when she always only ever shows the same emotional range of a plank of wood.
I honestly think it was intentional. A historical Trope is that women have always been told that they are emotional, subject to hysteria, etc... so the point in the movie is that she is still told that, even though she displays absolutely no emotional range. So yeah, I think it was intended; just wish they handled it differently
Apparently being overly sensitive, arrogant, and incapable of taking criticism is translated at emotional instead of just immaturity. Instead of, you know, trusting her emotional reasoning or being compassionate to a fault.
I think what is often meant with "emotional" isnt that a character is displaying emotions strongly, but rather that they base their decision making on emotion instead of reason. And in that regard, lots of the stuff that Captain Marvel does can be seen as "emotional", as she often makes quick, impulsive decisions that are not well thought out. The problem is that the movie usually rewards her for acting like that, instead of showing the drawbacks.
Alita, Battle Angel had a CG main character, and her emotions just pour on the screen. Alita is fucking perfect. She really is the female lead we deserved, and we need.
I just discovered this guy, and he is hilarious! My favorite line was "This has been nail-biting". I love that he doesn't act outraged like a lot of other content creators. He just oozes disdain for bad movies and points out their flaws with unforgiving common sense.
Ti My Disney: *Unburies Stan's body from his grave, shoving a hand up his rear - making his body into a puppet.* Hi, comic lovers! Go checkout Captain Marvel! Excelsior!
Was I the only one that laughed when that boy tried to help her by telling her to slow down on the kart and then she speeds up and explodes. That was genuinely hilarious
She is absolutely not a realistic and relatable strong female character for several reasons. 1. During her derby race as a kid, she really did need to slow down on the turns. But because she was immature, she ended up nearly break in her neck from bad judgement. Her dad, who not only let her race but also most likely helped her practice, yelled at her for good reason. "You don't belong out there!" Translation: "If you are going to be reckless, you don't need to be doing this." 2. The group of men mocking her on the obstacle course are heckling her to motivate her. Has no one seen a military movie before? Has no one hung out with a group of men before? EVERYBODY gets heckled and mocked in training, because it's character building. Tough Love. If she was so immature and self-victimizing to realize that she was not the only person being verbally harrassed, she doesn't belong in the military. 3. The message of her being "too emotional" is a jab at women being more empathetic and verbally high context. She is not emotional! She is overly sensitive and incapable of taking criticism. That's not emotionality! 4. I have had far more criticism and bullying from other women growing up. I could count on one hand how many times I was bullied by a man on one hand. Half of them were just off color jokes that went too far, and the others was one particular boy who was obnoxious. 5. She is sooooo arrogant! I cringe internally and externally any time she makes an executive decision. Legitimately, if she were a man acting that way, that character would still be a massive jerk. My best example isn't from this movie but in End Game when she tells Rocket from Gaurdians od the Galaxy, "Earth isn't the only planet that needs help." Oh, really, Cpt Meh-vel? You're going to to tell the person who has literally been traveling the universe helping different planets, too? This is why mansplaining ia not a thing.
Your points 1 and 2 are actually points on which they could have done legitimate subversion. Have her slowly come to realize that those things weren't people telling her to quit, but teaching her what the price of persistence would be. Have her begin to remember the full context of those broken memories--and how she only remembers the hurts she felt, not the things that came right before and after. And instead of "Just a Girl" playing in the background of her triumphant and unstoppable rampage, every time she falters, she hears an echo of someone encouraging her, someone supporting her, and THEN she gets her second wind. She's no longer afraid of failure; she becomes the hero everyone knew she could be, and she was the only one who ever doubted. Every other Avenger basically becomes who they are because someone believed in them and helped them--Yinsen for Tony, Odin for Thor, Betsy for Bruce, Erskine for Steve, Clint for Natasha. If anything, needing the support of others makes her MORE of an Avenger.
@@bitchpudding8104 you took the spot or a more competent male pilot so you could fill a diversity role. Of course men belittle you. Because they fucking know you are a liability.
"Hey you should go slower around corners" **Speeds up because girl power** **Crashes and receives severe injuries** "YOU DON'T BELONG OUT HERE" Ladies and gentlemen, that's the best they could come up with. People went to college and paid thousands of dollars to learn how to write a script and that is the dog shit motivation they came up with. God I love that.
How about the fact that they hamfisted their way through an entire movie of in your face annoying feminist rhetoric and then capped it by playing "im just a girl" over the finale and NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON said "hmmm do you think MAYBE this is a bit on the nose? Maybe we should lighten it up a bit and let the audience do SOME work?" NOPE You could ask a toddler who has yet to speak their first words if that is good writing and they will still manage to articulate the words "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK no." And yet someone made a CAREER with that level of skill.
This is what happens when idiots get paid to push agenda driven by other idiots so idiots on social media can get their social justice fix just for the sake of false internet fame points and stories told over a pumpkin almond milk latte. POOR WAMEN, MONSTER MEN! And obviously we say this because we are misogynist dickheads and not because this movie is just a pinnacle of terrible. Welcome to the fucking XXI century.
You don't understand! The boy is obviously an evil sexist trying to use reverse psychology on her because he knows she won't trust his advice to slow down around corners and would instead speed up to get ahead of him so that she can teach the sexist boy a lesson about 'splaining to a woman, and it is this evil patriarchal tactic that won this sexist misogynist racist capitalist trump supporter white trash incel the race. /s
I mean this is literally a girl who becomes absolutely crazy anytime a boy talks to her wether it's an advice, compliment, criticism or insult... and somehow she thought it was a good idea to enroll in the military where everyone is shouted at ? She doesn't seems like someone you'd want to work with in a life or death situation lol
So now Secret War has happened, the Kree have been proved completely right. The Skrull aren't refugees fleeing persecution there are millions of them and they do seek to infiltrate planets and take them over. They've managed to turn this movie completely on it's head. Who knows if the Skrull were telling the truth about not being able to find another world. For all we know Captain Marvel has allowed the Skrull to infiltrate thousands of worlds and now they've returned to take the earth too.
Now that Marvel 2 has happened, we see that BREEEE in a fit of anger nearly wiped out an entire race, too. She's responsible for BILLIONS of deaths. There is no other creature on Earth who is more murderous than she is. And so the Kree were right, too, that she is WAY too emotional.
"Unfortunately the movie starts right after this" Damn. Wait,I just noticed something.No matter how many times plank falls down she keeps getting up."So no matter how many times I get knocked down I keep getting up because im the one and only Spider-Man."
@@kennethtubbs6217 Steve is also far superior because, even before getting the serum, he had no powers and yet still had to overcome his flaws. He had to learn and struggle and grow. It doesn't seem like Carol has any kind of character or arc like that. Just the whole she's a woman so she's awesome. But...she's not. Being a woman doesn't make a character, good writing does.
“Plank is slow retrieving her memories as well as her personality” paired with the visual air quotes has broken my brain. I laughed out loud for a solid minute. 👏
Can we just talk about how a kid telling her to slow down is apparently a bad thing? She literally takes the corner too fast and crashes. That kid was trying to help her and yet the writers think that's a bad thing.
It's the whole fostering victim mentality. Makes all girls who see it view any criticism as bad. Which, BTW, is actually literally happening to women and girls across the country. I actually fear how disempowered women are becoming because of all this media bullshit being shoved into their brains.
Do you remember when Ripley was killing aliens in space, saving a little girl and dealing with the prejudice she had with androids and yet being a charismatic and relatable character? ... Good times.
What? You mean Captain Marvel WASN'T the first movie to ever feature a strong female lead? Don't speak such lies. I'm considering this a personal attack.
Capt Marvel has a different message, in those movies the message was: women can be strong characters too. Today's message is: women are not strong characters because they are oppressed by men, so only by shitting on men they can prove they're strong and just as good (if not even more) in murdering 3rd world brown people abroad like their male counterparts. Epic movies of today are like unironical versions of Starship Troopers: "I'm doing my part!" o7
My question is, if Plank was that much powerful, she had very neat chances to hold gauntlet and snap in Endgame. Why she didn't take that responsibility and let superpowerless Tony die?
"It's like they bought a packet of 'Instant Character: Just Add Crappy Speech' and proceeded to just spill it all over." You just summed up the problem with "woke" character writing beautifully.
My personal highlight was, that she got handcuffed in the beginning to prevent her from using her powers before she broke the handcuffs by... using her powers really hard. perfect writing. 10/10
That's genius level script writing mate. They teach you that shit in writing school. This whole movie could be a full semester class on how to execute a flawless screenplay/film.
@@dodojesus4529 I like Dragonball but two things are hilarious; wait/holdout for Mary Goku and yelling/getting mad makes you infinitely more powerful depending on the plot.
I wish I could understand the writers of these movies. They're so uncreative. 'The protagonist is a girl, so we must center the story around her being a girl'. 'The protagonist is black, so we must tell a story about racism, colonialism and prejudice'. 'The protagonist is Asian, so we must tell a mythical story with lots of martial arts and zen BS'. I mean, isn't it a bad message placing these characters exclusively in this kind of story? As if they didn't have any other stories to tell? Such a terrible concept.
The irony is they create their own racism the reason why white characters have been more interesting in the MCU and it's not the racism of the fandom it's the racism of the marvel team. Like you said when they write for a girl character it must be about her being a girl or a black character being about the black experience. I remember when Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out Falcon's entire personality changed from a practical soldier and friend with a sense of humor and honored to take Cap's shield in Endgame to a jaded black guy who saw the shield as a symbol of American racism as soon as the series started. Then he can't get a loan from the bank because banks are supposedly racist in real life, even though in-universe it makes no sense since he's a celebrity superhero who does government contract work that pays in the mid-6 figures. That's like telling me Lebron James can't get a loan because of racism what bank would be stupid enough to Incur that kind of negative publicity. They always end up writing women and minorities down to their immutable characteristics which makes them one-dimensional and often the character's on-screen life circumstances are incongruous with the average person in that demographic so often the allegory is lazy and contrived like Falcon's bank issues he is not an average black man, therefore, he will not have an average black man experience. Meanwhile Straight White characters actually have to be a character with motivations flaws and desires because the writers don't have immutable characteristics to fall back on as a shield against criticism do they actually have to put in the work to make the character interesting. There whole lack of good diversity accepted by the Fandom is a self-made problem and then they victim blame the fans for not eating up the vomit they spew onto us.
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx The first and second statements actually combined in a pretty good fantasy movie set in a world called The Earth, on a continent called Africa, where a country that was THE LARGEST slave seller was located and they made the movie about how Europeans are racist and how europeans kidnap africans from their homes and turn them into slaves etc. It's called The Woman King and the actual history of the kingdom has terrifying implications for our assumptions nowadays.
By focusing on the thing that makes them different from the white male they create racism and sexism. Because they keep reducing the characters to that single trait. When you watch a movie or play a game or do dishes or do laundry or bring out the trash or bring your kids to bed nobody cares about your genitals or skin color. It doesn't define people. Yes it's part of their identity, but not the only part.
@@charmandyorton006 Every time I see or hear that name, I think of Johnny 2x4 from Ed, Edd, n' Eddy. This also offends me, because the True Plank of Edd, Edd, n' Eddy has a GREAT range of emotion.
Yeah, people use that scene as a counter that she's not powerful enough to beat Thanos but that only happened so that they could have Tony's scene. If this movie had somehow done really well and people wanted her to be the one to beat Thanos the writer probably would have had her catch the punch and blast him in the face.
@@koryh2114 Him having all stones means nothing at that point since it's not about skill or strength when he can literally just will you out of existence with 0 effort. You missed the point of my comment, I said the only reason the had her get knocked out by the power stone was because they knew it would ruin 20 movies of character development if they had the newcomer kill Thanos with no buildup or personal investment. If they wanted it to happen, it wouldn't be inconsistent with her character traits if she caught Thanos' punch and used the power stone to blast him in the face. This is why besides needing a massive nerf, my main problem with CM is that they should have introduced her in the next MCU phase so she would have had a lot of time to be developed and set up rather than jumping in at the last second into the Season finale of the MCU.
Extremly easy fix for the whole power limiter thing: Instead of telling plank that the patch gives her her powers the kree could have just told her that her power is in fact her own, that she is a mutant or something along these lines and that this patch is in fact a power limiter. But they gave her that power limiter because the power she got is far too great for her body to bear with it and without the limiter her own power would destroy her and everything else within a hundred kilometers radius. This would make for a far more believable story, paint the kree in a benevolent light, explain why noboy else has this power, leverage planks own professed goodness against her taking the patch off and the kree could even use the excuse of trying to help plank control and/or extract her power to experiment on her with her consent!
The fact that the movie has 1.2b in box office doesn't mean 1.2b people went to see it. That would be a bit more than a seventh of the world's population, and we know there's not that much well-living people to go to a cinema. Also, the average cinema ticket costs more than a dollar.
I remember when i watched endgame, every time someone appeared, everyone was going nuts.Then captain marvel appeared, and the theater simply became silent. It was really funny, and made me happy to see that most people hate that character.
The same thing happened at my theatre, except there was one woman who clapped. It was hilarious, because when everyone showed up through the portals, man, woman, creature, the whole theatre went nuts.
@@JoshTW030 have you seen Don Jon? I'm not saying there was a character for her to act in that movie, but shes just scrolling through all her screen time
I have to point out that while Carol was away for 25 years, she was traveling at light speed, which means for her the travel was instantaneous. That’s why she hasn’t aged and reacts like she just saw Fury yesterday. Because for her she probably made the journey in an instant, helped the Skrull set up for a few months, headed back at light speed, and got Fury’s message on the way. I know I know it’s contrived, but this bit of science actually does work.
The thing is, light speed is not instantaneous. Her power accident making her super long lived is totally fine for me. No need to doctor anything around there.
The nearest star to us is called Proxima Centauri and lies roughly 4.25 light years away. So if she went there, did some quick business and came right back, at the speed of light, it would take her 8.5 years.
She's like the reverse Tony Stark. In Iron Man, Tony starts off as a snarky, sarcastic and egotistical guy who becomes humbled and heroic when he undergoes a life changing event and gets his power. Carol Danvers starts off as a passive, down to earth girl who becomes really cocky and arrogant once she gets her powers.
Stark does not "get" "his power" He builds a conbat suit thats ahead of its time. He builds a powersourcs, in a cave, to power it. Stark did not get shit handed to him. He build it. He build it and almost died from it. He learned lessons in Iron man 2 and 3. he grew. cpn plank did nothing. she just ran from setpiece to setpiece. . .
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Maybe "get his power" wasn't the best combination of words to use, but you still get my point. From the start of the movie to the end, Tony Stark's characterization progresses while Carol Danvers' characterization regresses.
Danvers was never passive, even in the flashbacks. She went from cocky and arrogant ordinary human to cocky and arrogant human with Superman powers. Whereas in "Iron Man", Stark went from snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy to slightly less snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy with a super suit. It wasn't until "Infinity War" that that "snarky, sarcastic, egotistical" was finally decimated out of him.
Brie Larson is a good actress, this movie just really didn't work with her and she wasn't trying her best. But casting her was a good idea in plan, just wasn't executed as well as it really could've been. She's got the credentials to back her talent up, just this movie was a miss for her. As a person, she's pretty meh, but as an actress she's talented, just not in this.
@@LevatekGaming She is. She's pretty good at what she does. I know awards don't mean a whole ton, but it's worthy to note that she has an Oscar under her belt. Don't get me wrong, James, she wasn't good in this movie. I'm just saying that she isn't a bad actress. No comment is invalid by the way, especially when you just don't agree with it.
So we have a main character who grew up being emotional and never listening to authority...is told in the beginning she needs to control her emotions and doesn't follow instructions or listen to authority, suffering no downsides for any of this. Then in the end it comes full circle as she learns how being fully emotional and not listening to what anyone tells her allows her to reach her full power level and win the day. Great character.
@MARQUIS de QUEENSBURY 5.0 not listening to authority in the Air Force (THE MILITARY) also this was 1978 brah and when does space force come in play to this movie?
The Stan Lee intro was probably the best part of the film. He just enjoyed having cameos in movies. Even two days before he died he said if he could he would keep doing cameos. 13:35 Thanks, Stan.
This video was made in April 2019. Captain Marvel came out in March 2019 and the teaser for Endgame showing Tony stuck in space also came out in March 2019. Trust me when I say that we all knew she was going to be the one to save Tony.
Above all else I appreciate these guys like mauler breaking things down and articulating things in a way I can't as I don't posses the knowledge or wisdom. However even with my limited knowledge I'm not a plank of wood or a sheep and when I watch a movie I know it's bad. Such as captain marvels defence people don't like it because she's a female isn't accurate and now I can share well articulated arguments/explanations why the movie was awful. Same as black panther and it's racism defence. I didn't like it because it wasn't a bunch of white people running around I simply didn't like it because it make no freaking sense at all. The plot was stupid, the half advanced culture half primative thing was odd. Choosing their leader based on who hits harder while being the most technologically advanced civilization and using spears...... Yeah I seriously thank these guys for spreading awareness that marvel can't keep using lazy writing and hiding behind woke propaganda. People know everything that's wrong with the movies now you can't flash shiny CGI fights at everyone.
@@whereDoCarrotsComeFrom XD no need to point out that the modern woman empowering man hating female superiority attempt at pushing forward an agenda character has absolutely no morals or issues having others die just so she can accomplish her own goals is vastly inferior to the male character who puts all lives in front of his and adheres to the priority of the greater good than let his own agenda cloud his actions........fuck off XD
It's sad about how Fury really lost his eye, they had the perfect set-up with a Skrull being able to trick him and then lost his eye because he put his trust in someone that he could.
I may be wrong but in the comics Nicky lost the eye in a military mission. I've had the impression that in the movies Nicky lost the eye in the Bogota mission that Alexander Pierce discussed with Steve when he was summoned to talk with him after Nicky's "death" (before the elevator fight).
You could even keep a comedic moment by having the Space Cat scratch at Nick's face, and he covers his eye, shouting in pain, before being like "damn, that was really close! You almost took my eye out!"
Look dude Planks have uses to Pirates, to create make shift bridges to walk over, to bash zombies heads in and to barricade doors windows damaged walls. Please have a bit more respect for planks they are not sanctimonious, self absorbed, race baiting, champagne socialist ugly or useless they are the true Her-os.
I recently watched the entirety of the show just for old time's sake. Not only did plank have some solid screen presence, but also legitimate characterization. Plank has been shown to be caring, loyal, protective, scheming, moderately aggressive, opportunistic to the occasional treachery, and quite possibly actually sentient. Literally a cartoon block of wood in 2000s children's entertainment media that was created from a dare has more character than this lady.
I find it quite funny how in the 80’s we had a better female protagonist in the alien series (ripley) who had flaws but was still a strong female character and 40 years later when women rights is a major deal now, they put less effort into making good female characters. Just bc a woman needs help in a situation doesn’t mean that they are looking down on her or making it a “damsel in distress” trope, tony stark needs help numerous times throughout his movies as well as the avengers movies, same wth Thor, captain America, etc. Idk why it’s such a major thing to have a moment of weakness in a female character when it’s clear they have no issue doing it for the male characters of the franchise. Imo it’s actually more sexist to do it like that and act like this is ok. Disney as well as Hollywood as a whole needs to get this through their heads tht watching perfect characters be good at everything isn’t entertaining, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, I just want to watch an entertaining marvel movie wth good comedy, solid action, relatable heroes and ridiculous villain plots.
Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men. The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles. "Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?" "We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country." Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country. Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010. "It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."
i like how the dude in the flashback actually gave her good advice in telling her to slow down and in her ignorance, sorry I mean "independence" she doesn't listen and gets herself in a serious car crash that caused her serious injuries
Lana Nahapetian I thought the scene of her being with her friend was actually because she was drinking away depression, that would help explain her apathetic nature, and I think it would of been a better movie if it showed that, even though she got back up, she didn’t get out unscathed and was still burdened by the insults and she would have to stand up to her own self-doubt, this theory would also explain why others call her emotional. And as someone who has suffered depression, I thought this would be a cool movie if it followed this idea and quite enjoyed the start and was looking forward to the rest of it. instead I learned, halfway through he movie, that NO, wahmen are perfect beings who can’t be wrong and are the paragons of virtue and that there is also a separate, pure chaotic evil race of a thing called ‘men’ these mans only exist to selfishly and disgustingly limit the omnipotent powers of Wahmen, these disgusting males need to be Putin their place, in communists under wahmen control, with Marxists on their bodies to show their inferiority!
@@lana.pat1308 but she doesn't learn or improve from it, does she?? She's still the same stubborn woman at the end. Besides, stubbornness isn't shown as a flaw in the movie when it comes to her but as a good character trait to have.
@@lana.pat1308 well yea that would be a good thing, however, it is part of the montage showing how aweful men are and thus that context determines it is being used to show how men keep the wahmen down. If it wasn't for that context you would be very much correct.
The flashback of her in the airforce climbing the ropes is the same. You dont jump from one to the other, you're like 20 feet in the air. The men were saying she cant, because she shouldn't, cuz its unsafe as hell
I'll still never understand why characters like Captain Marvel get movies. The character that has become more or less a meme at this point at the amount of comics of hers cancelled and relauched due to consistent low sales yet despite that Marvel can call her one of their most ''popular'' characters.
I wonder if it's a half-truth, like "most popular" means selling the most comics or something, and Captain Marvel sells tons of comics because she makes dozens of runs that sell a bit, as opposed to fewer-but-longer-running series for other famous characters.
They're trying (and failing) to create their own Wonder Woman. They don't understand that while Wonder Woman is a badass she doesn't *act* like a cocky badass. Wonder Woman is nice, friendly and outgoing so people like her.
The funniest thing about this movie's muddled and confused feminist message is that it accidentally ends up condemning being a responsible mother who takes care of her child as a negative gender stereotype, instead praising a *disadvantaged minority single mother at a point in time when far less social progress had been made* for abandoning her child to go on a "cool mission" that she knows could likely leave her kid an orphan. Is that *really* the feminist ideal? That even motherhood shouldn't tie you down - you're a strong and independent woman who doesn't need no man, and even basic responsibilities are just social constructs meant to tie you down to the patriarchal expectation that you.. Protect and raise your own children? I mean, what?
My opinion is its easy to just work and care for one self. To be a parent is really difficult and the time and effort is exdroinary. The good parents are the real MVP's of the world.
Huh, it's as if you wanted that to be a point. I never saw them show that mother in a negative light. Did you? This just well might be a case of you overthinking.
Modern feminism is about avoiding any and all responsibilities. You won't find any example of modern feminism advocating for women to adopt responsibilities or praising women who do. Usually, they only care about money and power nowadays.
@@Astraeus.. Are you trying to defend this piece of shit? Are we suppose to care as to why they gave us an emotionless "character". If they are going to make a story about a boring "character" with no emotion, no memory and unlimited power my general advice is just don't.
@@Astraeus.. Emotionless super-computer? You are aware that the Supreme Intelligence actually expressed quite a lot of emotion, including boasting and taunting...right?
I absolutely hated when in Endgame she said that they lost because they didn’t have her and that now they’ll win because she’s with them. Her entire character to me is just extremely arrogant and not likable at all. There’s a difference between a strong character and a complete a$$hole. And to those who'll say Tony Stark is also an a$$hole yes, you're right. But despite his flaws he also has redeeming qualities that make him human and relatable. Captain Marvel is basically flawless (not a good thing) and has no redeeming qualities and is not relatable at all. After all you never had Superman show up to say “You lost because you didn’t have me.”
That freaked me out a lot. The directors already knew how hated the character was, then why would they give her such an arrogant line? Is like the directors wanted Carol to be hated. And yeah, Tony was an asshole as well, but we saw him evolve and become a better person as time went on.
The only good part about that was she was actually totally irrelevant in the end. Like they give her a TOKEN role of blowing up Thanos' ship, but Thor can do that if she's not here. She literally does nothing but get punched out of the movie and pretend she's relevant. She IMMEDIATELY abandons them after killing a crippled, half dead Thanos that already won. Her role in the movie is literally as impactful as make a wish setting up a "boxing match" with Mike Tyson and a dying child. She got to show up and feel super cool, but ultimately she never hurt the guy and she didn't win anything. They knew they were stuck with this dogshit character so they used her as she should be. Shallowly.
Tony’s asshole-ness is repeatedly pointed out as a flaw in his character, and he gradually learns to be a better person Carol learns nothing, her asshole-ness goes unpunished and everyone around her just sings her praises constantly
@@Soridan I can't even tell if this is a joke or if your serious. Are you talking about Captain Marvel's superiority complex or the way men are portrayed in the story just to make her look good.
Witch is why I love characters like Solid Snake. He's nothing, less than a man born of nature, yet he does superhuman feats. This is not because of who he is, but despite what he is. When his body was falling apart, his spirit and will to continue to keep him alive.
Let me just 🤓 for a sec In the comics, they’re fucking terrifying. The ability to replicate any metahuman on sight. Super Skrulls have the ability to mimic super human abilities on sight. They’re known as planet conquering creatures that tear up societies by infiltrating them as perfect replicas and essentially fucking with them to extinction. MCU Skrulls might as well be damp mops by comparison
Disney ethos: Arrogance/smugness/misogyny in male heroes must be treated as character flaws and corrected through humbling circumstances. Arrogance/smugness/misandry in female heroes must be celebrated.
@@weirdguy1495 She was a spoiled,arrogant brat for more than half of the series. Her development started far too late in the series to make it redeemable.
Far From Home would be the better choice, it's better than both Endgame and this movie and Spider-Man is Stan's favorite and best creation so it fits better there.
I'm glad you pointed out the S.H.I.E.L.D inconsistency, I pointed it out and no one seemed to believe me. And I also, also, also, also, also, also, also, also... thought this movie was meh.
I can't believe I didn't notice that. When you run a movie series for this long you'll wind up making some inconsistencies. Theres a lot of them throughout the films. Even the timeline doesn't add up.
Regarding SHIELD and NASA around 22-23 min, there is actually a very legitimate in-universe reason why there'd be a fair amount of fuckery regarding technology and redaction going on there. Agents of SHIELD (Season 3 and 5) established that Hydra administrated parts of the US Military and explicitly NASA in addition to SHIELD between the CA1 and CAWS. It wouldn't be surprising at all to assume they were censoring any technological developments outside of their direct control, or SHIELD's. But again this assumes that this was all some interconnected story and not Fiege stumbling upon some lore friendly portrayal of Captain Marvel. Fiege's hateboner for Ike has notoriously extended down to Marvel TV, and he has proven not above sabotaging Marvel's own brand if it means satisfying his petty revenge against different parts of the MCU he disapproves of. I don't think Marver Studios were aware of the worldbuilding AoS applied when they wrote that scene, they just stumbled into scenes that kind-of works.
The Shield thing has always been a plot hole. In Iron Man Coulson says they don't have a good name yet, and at the end he says to just call them "SHIELD". Problem: Fury said that Howard and Peggy founded Sheild years ago after WW2, so the fact they ONLY come up a proper name at the start of Iron Man makes no sense. Coulson's statement about the acroymn is just supposed to be a wham like and nothing else
Something that would "fix" a lot of stuff is if Carol's emotions were actually out of control and that's why Fury lost his eye. It would make her realise that she needs to train in order to overcome the burden of being an overpowered entity in a mortal body. It would also account for her hiding somewhere and for Fury not wanting to call her back because she could do more harm than good if left unchecked: last time he trusted her, he lost an eye after all. That's an anime trope, but the film already dives into the "I will never go down because reasons !" shounen trope, so whatever I guess. Besides, when it's used well it can lead to great moments (ex: Aang not wanting to firebend and not wanting to trigger the Avatar state ever again because he fears that he will hurt his friends)
What you just described is what I was expecting after seeing the ending to Infinity War, as someone who knew nothing about the Captain Marvel character. Your idea (and I will say I had a similar idea, where she'd spend the interim years in self-imposed exile on the far end of the galaxy) would have made her character that much more interesting in Endgame, as she'd show up to help only reluctantly as a favor to Fury, and we'd see that the years she's been away had turned her from an over-confident arrogant narccassit, into a self-loathing, self-nullifying bitter and reserved shell. She'd help The Avengers re-assemble whilst being really sour about it, but the Avengers would'nt take it at face value. They'd see in her a lot of the flaws they once possessed, and would commit themselves to showing her the better way through acts of love, compassion, sacrafice and by training her both pracitcally and mentally. By the end of the film, Captain Marvel would have experienced true purpose and meaning for the first time in 28 years, she'd have made her first friends, have found a way to hone and focus her powers, and wouldbe an Avenger. The Captain Marvel film would essentially be MCU's counterpart to Joker (2019). A cautionary tale of what the existing MCU heroes COULD have become if not bound by mortality, family, or any real consequence. The movie would have her do "heroic" things but without a second thought to collaterol or human lives. Her only moral link would be Fury because she grew fond of his demeanor, but she would not listen to his warning about the damage she was doing. Only at the end, when she hurts Fury (either accidentally or in a fit of rage) would she see fault in herself, and leave earth, leaving Fury with the pager as an apology and I.O.U of sorts. It also would have tied into the theme of SHIELD being reluctant to form The Avengers, with Fury, the one who was hurt the most last time being badass enough to push for it anyway and see it through. Then in Endgame, Captain Marvel would be the foil to Spiderman, both being prodigy heroes trained by existing Avengers. Where Spiderman is excitable and friendly, Marvel would be introverted and repressed. Where Spidemans flaw was that he was too quick to use powers he didn't know how to use, Marvel flaw would be that she refused to even experiment with her (stronger) powers because she couldn't bear not perfecting it right away. Also, Charlize Theron should have played Captain Marvel. That is all.
Danvers constantly shoots off and acts like it is a joke as well as her inherent right She sees Fury as an ally a human vs skrull vs kree vs human fire fight breaks out. Davers does not take it seriously despite her Kree training and blasts without regard to her surroundings. many people on all sides get hurt or killed. Fury loses his eye. Danvers slowly begins to understand what everyone has been telling her. Fury no longer trusts weirdos. character arc achieved. there are not enough uplikes, my friend, well done.
Here's one other small thing that would have made all the difference. She should have been sleeping with Jude Law. He's the definition of sleazy charmer, he's supposed to be manipulating her. She's a naive, fish out of water and he's the only one taking an interest in her. Now there are...what's the word...emotions! When she finds out she can get furious and have someone to direct that anger at. A main antagonist with a relationship to the hero. And it would actually be the sort of story women could relate to, the smarmy older guy using his position of power to take advantage of her. This is basic shit!
Just a Girl was a brilliant musical choice. Because she can fly now and she's "had it up to here." It's a meta reference to Suicide Squad, another film with pointless pop songs that are incredibly on the nose. Also because this film is ripping off Guardians of the Galaxy, whose director is doing the Suicide Squad sequel.
It was at this moment 41:02 that Mauler finally used Youngledor in a way that made it sound like it was the real characters name. He was irritated at Plank. It sounded so smooth.
he thinks of Jude Law as his Harry Potter performance. I think of his roles in Gattaca, AI and Sherlock Homes. And in the last one he starred with Robert Downey Jr. Which could've been a fun reference if his Kree character and Tony Stark run into each other.
Is it me or is Marvel getting lazier with these solo movies. Black Panther, Captain Marvel. I hope DC dose a Deathstroke movie or something like that. I also hope they do something with the Ravager. Rose Wilson is definitely a character I'd like to see more of instead of Damian Wayne. Her, Tim Drake and Nightwing.
Larson: I did my own stunts because I thought that's what everyone did. Hemsworth: Yeah, we got the next Tom Cruise here. Larson: How about I'm the first me, thank you VERRRY much Oh Brie, you're such a treat
Calling Bree Larson the next Tom Cruise is insulting to Tom Cruise. The man has pulled of insane stunts on a level that only Jackie Chan can beat (to my knowledge).
Fun fact: the Gatling gun was originally intend to end wars. RIchard Gattling thought that if people realised how powerful his gun was that they would stop fighting out of fear. Also to get less people dying because when he did field medic things or something he noticied how there were less people dying of bullet wounds than of diseases so he thought that if there were less people shooting at each other (because the Gatling gun could fire lots more bullets with less people) that less people would die.
Even actual wood have better character development Even wood would’ve had better memories and thrilling adventure Even a meaningless plank could make people cry because they could characterize it
Why not show us an origins story of CM when she was a kid, teen, and young. You know show us her interest in aviation, the air force, and space to build her up to be the heroine. But nope, let's do fast flashbacks, because character development is for suckers.
Making a movie that retroactively interacts with an official timeline is difficult. One misstep and you have a plothole that goes outside the movie. These guys managed to set of the entire minefield
And that's why so many prequels are garbage, better to make sequels, gaidens, or better yet new IPs lord knows we are starving for those currently, If it absolutely must be a prequel better to set it so far in the past that it has little to no impact on the overarching story. Retcons also need to stop being treated as narrative wonderglue, even good retcons inflict collateral damage more often than not!
I saw this movie in theaters with my mother. When we drove home, she argued with me the entire time because I told her I didn't like how Plank's character was reckless and arrogant. Oops
This is actually unironically true. With plank there was some mistery to it and how Johnny (I think? Not sure) somehow managed to interact with it, implying it's either an extension of his personality or it actually has some sapience (it managed to drive a bus in the movie, after all).
@@PSMobs Its like what they did to grievous from 2003 clone wars to the newer clone wars. He legit fights multiple council members in 2003 but now he can be beaten by gungans.
It could have worked if the story/script acknowledged her flaws. They could have even suggested some social disorder caused by childhood trauma or something. She's like an antisocial narcissist who happens to want to save the world just to prove her own strength to everyone. Would be much more interesting than pretending she's perfect
Hell, The LEGO Batman Movie played with this concept by having the protagonist be a sociopathic loner obsessed with his identity as Batman rather than Bruce Wayne. And it while it was played for laughs, it wound up making him a relatable character who you rooted for. But nooooooo, we had to get writers who think people are just born perfect and are grown in a vat.
That is actually a great character flaw and plot point. her obsession with proving her self leads to arrogance and her not acknowledging that you have to fail to be able to succeed. The whole idea of her being able to stand back up and continue, which seems to be a big theme of the movie, could've been explored. Because after you get back up, you try again. And you do better.

The rudimentary research into space travel at light speed, amounts of solar systems and planets and all that is totally something I recommend people look into to get more accurate numbers, I just did a few google searches with Fringy and checked a couple of websites. It seems I might have underestimated the distances and made a few mistakes that makes it all seem smaller than it is but that would only make the overall point more relevant;
Light speed just aint gonna cut it, not by a long shot when it comes to travelling between galaxies.
No one ever really travels at light speed.
1:10:32 Damn you REALLY need to take an astronomy class. The galaxy has billions of star systems, not 500. AND our solar system is 8 light hours, not 2.5 light years.

You can't tell that light speed traveler how fast they can go. Don't you try to keep them down. A woman's light speed is much faster than a man's light speed anyway.

I love how a big part of the story is that shes "too emotional" and she "needs to control her emotions." But she puts almost zero emotions into the role.
ikr
Yep, only covers the monotone part of her personality. Whereas the animated CM in the 2010s, she's a badass in the battlefield and the fun big sister when she's Carol Danvers.
I have very little control over my emotions. It is something I have struggled over my whole life. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy affect me the most.
This is not what being "too emotional" looks like. Like, when she was a kid in the kart racing accident, she should have been fuming or bawling or ANYTHING besides having a blank face.
During the scene where she was sparing with the other guy in the beginning of the movie, she should have been defeated despite her powers because her judgement was clouded by how emotional she was. Maybe she accidentally hits someone or breaks something in a fit of rage at being worse than the other guy.
I can't sense any emotions in this character, especially not any that are "too emotional" to the point of hampering her.
She has trained her whole life lol.
Because it's a metaphor for women being hormonal and it being a great thing.
Getting up after falling down isn't special in the MCU. The character who did that best is Capt.America.
"I can do this all day"

And Into The Spiderverse also did it far better.

If one compares Captain Marvel to Captain America, it's like comparing Saitama to Mumen Rider in One Punch Man; one is powerful to the point of being impossible to get any drama out of, while the other faces impossible odds and keeps getting back up even when knowing that he can't win. Except unlike One Punch Man, the Captain Marvel movie lacks the self-awareness to emulate this.

"Or is there a random Skrull just backpacking around Europe just living a new life?" ...Can we watch that movie instead?
My Life Skrull.
No joke, that sounds like a legit better movie than...this.
It could have been a story depicting the conflict between the Kree, the Skrull, and a young Nick Fury thrown in between, forced to figure out just what his place is among these alien factions, having to come to terms with realizing that humanity isn't the masters of the universe but more like an ignored puppy on a backwater planet.
The Kree were superadvanced, their motivations were intentionally kept shallow, but their motivations were what started this entire mess in the first place. Their motivation is effectively the one thing that can be considered the true antagonist (not the figurehead antagonist that needed to be propped up against the cardboard protagonist), but we barely get anything to understand it. They didn't want us to understand the story or appreciate the foundations - they just slapped together a foundation and assumed that because the mainline story was already accepted, whether it made sense or had any depth didn't matter.
The Kree/Skrull conflict was used as a framing device for the protagonist, but somehow even when it is neglected, it is more interesting than the protagonist. The director or writer was apparently so obsessed with making the movie revolve around the lead actress that they never considered what a prequel movie could have actually done for the big picture. If they had any consideration for making it an interesting story, they could have at least put her through an actual arc, or else use her a framing character to make the Kree/Skrull conflict or the other lead characters more prominent.
But in tried and true fashion, this wasn't about the big picture or about the team, just about the leading lady.

Just watched this again at random. Here's a fun thought. I'm a former Marine Corps aircrewman and I work for a USAF fighter squadron as a civilian now. I start with this to establishment my credentials on the subject of call signs. I hear my call sign more than my name on any given day of the week.
So here's the skivvy. If you have a bad ass call sign like "AVENGER"... your squadron is taking the piss out of you. Like, I met a guy with the call sign "HAMMER" once upon a time. As in "Dumb as a box of". Heard of another guy, Tomcat driver this time, with the call sign KILLER. Guess what he did? Friendly fire accident. Don't have the details on that one, but I assume no one died or he'd not have continued to fly, but his squadron, and every squadron he was with till he got out? Made sure he never forgot that fuck up.
So. As a fun shower thought exercise for the day dear reader, what stupid thing did Plank do to earn the call sign "AVENGER"?
@Wekilaa Himoninternet Against the bullies who hurt her feelings
Avenged herself when a teammate gave her some advice or criticism IN THE MILITARY

I love the college grade debate point though, "you need to watch it yourself to judge though". No. It's cute, and works in theological debates, but i'm sure as hell i don't want to get bitten by a shark, because i'm informed enough to know it's bad, before hand. I'm not going to put myself in a sharks mouth, just to make an armchair theologian feel warm and happy. I'm not giving these guys a dime to watch it. I'm so confident in my decision, i won't even watch it when this flop gets HD rips on the stream sites. (notice how good films take ages to come out in decent quality, but the flops are there in HD from the get go.) I won't watch it for free, i won't watch it if they offer me a free ipad or some other bribe. The film from the get go is toxic, and i'm not going to spend money to go see it, to satisfy somebody, that ultimately, still won't respect my opinion, but ultimately MCU will see a sale, and think "nope, we still made bank, we did ok". All this movie has done, is make me panic that if Brie Larson is really, "carrying the torch" now, Endgame might not hit the potential it could have, say, in an extended universe without Brie Larson. Remember guys, celebrity is a platform, where she's responsible for pushing her agenda. God i loved Jeremy Renner's response to that.

She has 2 emotions, getting offended and PLANK.
I honestly think it was intentional. A historical Trope is that women have always been told that they are emotional, subject to hysteria, etc... so the point in the movie is that she is still told that, even though she displays absolutely no emotional range.
So yeah, I think it was intended; just wish they handled it differently

Apparently being overly sensitive, arrogant, and incapable of taking criticism is translated at emotional instead of just immaturity. Instead of, you know, trusting her emotional reasoning or being compassionate to a fault.
I think what is often meant with "emotional" isnt that a character is displaying emotions strongly, but rather that they base their decision making on emotion instead of reason.
And in that regard, lots of the stuff that Captain Marvel does can be seen as "emotional", as she often makes quick, impulsive decisions that are not well thought out.
The problem is that the movie usually rewards her for acting like that, instead of showing the drawbacks.
For someone who’s supposed to be too emotional, she sure doesn’t change her facial expression much
she has too much of what i call a box face
Best quote "Sponge pants Square head"
I hope someone will make the meme about her expressing different emotions with the same face, like one with Chuck Norris.
Death Rainbows
Tell her to eat shit Johnny!
Alita, Battle Angel had a CG main character, and her emotions just pour on the screen. Alita is fucking perfect. She really is the female lead we deserved, and we need.

But he was boysplaining dammit!
but she got back up which I guess is supposed to mean something rather than learning you should control your speed and listen to good advise
SCREW YOU IM A STRONG INDEPENDENT...
Tried to warn you
She is absolutely not a realistic and relatable strong female character for several reasons.
1. During her derby race as a kid, she really did need to slow down on the turns. But because she was immature, she ended up nearly break in her neck from bad judgement. Her dad, who not only let her race but also most likely helped her practice, yelled at her for good reason. "You don't belong out there!" Translation: "If you are going to be reckless, you don't need to be doing this."
2. The group of men mocking her on the obstacle course are heckling her to motivate her. Has no one seen a military movie before? Has no one hung out with a group of men before? EVERYBODY gets heckled and mocked in training, because it's character building. Tough Love. If she was so immature and self-victimizing to realize that she was not the only person being verbally harrassed, she doesn't belong in the military.
3. The message of her being "too emotional" is a jab at women being more empathetic and verbally high context. She is not emotional! She is overly sensitive and incapable of taking criticism. That's not emotionality!
4. I have had far more criticism and bullying from other women growing up. I could count on one hand how many times I was bullied by a man on one hand. Half of them were just off color jokes that went too far, and the others was one particular boy who was obnoxious.
5. She is sooooo arrogant! I cringe internally and externally any time she makes an executive decision. Legitimately, if she were a man acting that way, that character would still be a massive jerk. My best example isn't from this movie but in End Game when she tells Rocket from Gaurdians od the Galaxy, "Earth isn't the only planet that needs help." Oh, really, Cpt Meh-vel? You're going to to tell the person who has literally been traveling the universe helping different planets, too? This is why mansplaining ia not a thing.
You did a fantastic job breaking down everything wrong with Cpt. Marvel.
Awesome comment!
Your points 1 and 2 are actually points on which they could have done legitimate subversion. Have her slowly come to realize that those things weren't people telling her to quit, but teaching her what the price of persistence would be. Have her begin to remember the full context of those broken memories--and how she only remembers the hurts she felt, not the things that came right before and after.
And instead of "Just a Girl" playing in the background of her triumphant and unstoppable rampage, every time she falters, she hears an echo of someone encouraging her, someone supporting her, and THEN she gets her second wind. She's no longer afraid of failure; she becomes the hero everyone knew she could be, and she was the only one who ever doubted.
Every other Avenger basically becomes who they are because someone believed in them and helped them--Yinsen for Tony, Odin for Thor, Betsy for Bruce, Erskine for Steve, Clint for Natasha. If anything, needing the support of others makes her MORE of an Avenger.

So now Secret War has happened, the Kree have been proved completely right. The Skrull aren't refugees fleeing persecution there are millions of them and they do seek to infiltrate planets and take them over. They've managed to turn this movie completely on it's head. Who knows if the Skrull were telling the truth about not being able to find another world. For all we know Captain Marvel has allowed the Skrull to infiltrate thousands of worlds and now they've returned to take the earth too.
Now that Marvel 2 has happened, we see that BREEEE in a fit of anger nearly wiped out an entire race, too. She's responsible for BILLIONS of deaths. There is no other creature on Earth who is more murderous than she is. And so the Kree were right, too, that she is WAY too emotional.

What? You mean Captain Marvel WASN'T the first movie to ever feature a strong female lead? Don't speak such lies. I'm considering this a personal attack.
Capt Marvel has a different message, in those movies the message was: women can be strong characters too.
Today's message is: women are not strong characters because they are oppressed by men, so only by shitting on men they can prove they're strong and just as good (if not even more) in murdering 3rd world brown people abroad like their male counterparts.
Epic movies of today are like unironical versions of Starship Troopers: "I'm doing my part!" o7
When has James Cameron movies became the token perfect representation of women? Like those movies always get propped up like a quota being filled.
Riply was written as a man but all the writer's did was change the gender to a woman.
That's known as faux girl power.
My question is, if Plank was that much powerful, she had very neat chances to hold gauntlet and snap in Endgame. Why she didn't take that responsibility and let superpowerless Tony die?

Dragon Ball z writing, Hit it harder and it will work
@@dodojesus4529 I like Dragonball but two things are hilarious; wait/holdout for Mary Goku and yelling/getting mad makes you infinitely more powerful depending on the plot.
I wish I could understand the writers of these movies. They're so uncreative.
'The protagonist is a girl, so we must center the story around her being a girl'.
'The protagonist is black, so we must tell a story about racism, colonialism and prejudice'.
'The protagonist is Asian, so we must tell a mythical story with lots of martial arts and zen BS'.
I mean, isn't it a bad message placing these characters exclusively in this kind of story? As if they didn't have any other stories to tell? Such a terrible concept.
The irony is they create their own racism the reason why white characters have been more interesting in the MCU and it's not the racism of the fandom it's the racism of the marvel team. Like you said when they write for a girl character it must be about her being a girl or a black character being about the black experience. I remember when Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out Falcon's entire personality changed from a practical soldier and friend with a sense of humor and honored to take Cap's shield in Endgame to a jaded black guy who saw the shield as a symbol of American racism as soon as the series started. Then he can't get a loan from the bank because banks are supposedly racist in real life, even though in-universe it makes no sense since he's a celebrity superhero who does government contract work that pays in the mid-6 figures. That's like telling me Lebron James can't get a loan because of racism what bank would be stupid enough to Incur that kind of negative publicity. They always end up writing women and minorities down to their immutable characteristics which makes them one-dimensional and often the character's on-screen life circumstances are incongruous with the average person in that demographic so often the allegory is lazy and contrived like Falcon's bank issues he is not an average black man, therefore, he will not have an average black man experience. Meanwhile Straight White characters actually have to be a character with motivations flaws and desires because the writers don't have immutable characteristics to fall back on as a shield against criticism do they actually have to put in the work to make the character interesting. There whole lack of good diversity accepted by the Fandom is a self-made problem and then they victim blame the fans for not eating up the vomit they spew onto us.
🧢 the execution of Black Panther’s story was godly and Sheng Chi was pretty solid and different from other marvel movies
they are projecting their own racism onto others
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx The first and second statements actually combined in a pretty good fantasy movie set in a world called The Earth, on a continent called Africa, where a country that was THE LARGEST slave seller was located and they made the movie about how Europeans are racist and how europeans kidnap africans from their homes and turn them into slaves etc. It's called The Woman King and the actual history of the kingdom has terrifying implications for our assumptions nowadays.
By focusing on the thing that makes them different from the white male they create racism and sexism. Because they keep reducing the characters to that single trait. When you watch a movie or play a game or do dishes or do laundry or bring out the trash or bring your kids to bed nobody cares about your genitals or skin color. It doesn't define people. Yes it's part of their identity, but not the only part.

The only positive about this character is that people hated her so much that Thanos managed to punch her completely out of Endgame
Yeah, people use that scene as a counter that she's not powerful enough to beat Thanos but that only happened so that they could have Tony's scene. If this movie had somehow done really well and people wanted her to be the one to beat Thanos the writer probably would have had her catch the punch and blast him in the face.
RhysTheT00n he had one stone though, there’s no way she could beat him with all stones if she gets clapped with one
@@koryh2114 Him having all stones means nothing at that point since it's not about skill or strength when he can literally just will you out of existence with 0 effort. You missed the point of my comment, I said the only reason the had her get knocked out by the power stone was because they knew it would ruin 20 movies of character development if they had the newcomer kill Thanos with no buildup or personal investment. If they wanted it to happen, it wouldn't be inconsistent with her character traits if she caught Thanos' punch and used the power stone to blast him in the face.
This is why besides needing a massive nerf, my main problem with CM is that they should have introduced her in the next MCU phase so she would have had a lot of time to be developed and set up rather than jumping in at the last second into the Season finale of the MCU.
@@TOONYBOY get a girlfriend!
@@heartless604 What would that change? Or is that a joke?
Extremly easy fix for the whole power limiter thing: Instead of telling plank that the patch gives her her powers the kree could have just told her that her power is in fact her own, that she is a mutant or something along these lines and that this patch is in fact a power limiter. But they gave her that power limiter because the power she got is far too great for her body to bear with it and without the limiter her own power would destroy her and everything else within a hundred kilometers radius. This would make for a far more believable story, paint the kree in a benevolent light, explain why noboy else has this power, leverage planks own professed goodness against her taking the patch off and the kree could even use the excuse of trying to help plank control and/or extract her power to experiment on her with her consent!

Nebula also had 4 movies to build her character up beyond pissed off sister
I have to point out that while Carol was away for 25 years, she was traveling at light speed, which means for her the travel was instantaneous. That’s why she hasn’t aged and reacts like she just saw Fury yesterday. Because for her she probably made the journey in an instant, helped the Skrull set up for a few months, headed back at light speed, and got Fury’s message on the way.
I know I know it’s contrived, but this bit of science actually does work.
That's true, assuming she spent 95% of that time traveling. We don't know that's the case, or how fast she can really go.
The thing is, light speed is not instantaneous. Her power accident making her super long lived is totally fine for me. No need to doctor anything around there.
The nearest star to us is called Proxima Centauri and lies roughly 4.25 light years away. So if she went there, did some quick business and came right back, at the speed of light, it would take her 8.5 years.
@@diddyKite2010Exactly
She's like the reverse Tony Stark. In Iron Man, Tony starts off as a snarky, sarcastic and egotistical guy who becomes humbled and heroic when he undergoes a life changing event and gets his power. Carol Danvers starts off as a passive, down to earth girl who becomes really cocky and arrogant once she gets her powers.
Stark does not "get" "his power"
He builds a conbat suit thats ahead of its time. He builds a powersourcs, in a cave, to power it. Stark did not get shit handed to him. He build it. He build it and almost died from it. He learned lessons in Iron man 2 and 3. he grew.
cpn plank did nothing. she just ran from setpiece to setpiece. . .
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Maybe "get his power" wasn't the best combination of words to use, but you still get my point. From the start of the movie to the end, Tony Stark's characterization progresses while Carol Danvers' characterization regresses.
Danvers was never passive, even in the flashbacks. She went from cocky and arrogant ordinary human to cocky and arrogant human with Superman powers. Whereas in "Iron Man", Stark went from snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy to slightly less snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy with a super suit. It wasn't until "Infinity War" that that "snarky, sarcastic, egotistical" was finally decimated out of him.

Plank has been shown to be caring, loyal, protective, scheming, moderately aggressive, opportunistic to the occasional treachery, and quite possibly actually sentient. Literally a cartoon block of wood in 2000s children's entertainment media that was created from a dare has more character than this lady.

I find it quite funny how in the 80’s we had a better female protagonist in the alien series (ripley) who had flaws but was still a strong female character and 40 years later when women rights is a major deal now, they put less effort into making good female characters. Just bc a woman needs help in a situation doesn’t mean that they are looking down on her or making it a “damsel in distress” trope, tony stark needs help numerous times throughout his movies as well as the avengers movies, same wth Thor, captain America, etc. Idk why it’s such a major thing to have a moment of weakness in a female character when it’s clear they have no issue doing it for the male characters of the franchise. Imo it’s actually more sexist to do it like that and act like this is ok. Disney as well as Hollywood as a whole needs to get this through their heads tht watching perfect characters be good at everything isn’t entertaining, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, I just want to watch an entertaining marvel movie wth good comedy, solid action, relatable heroes and ridiculous villain plots.
Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men.
The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles.
"Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?"
"We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country."
Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country.
Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010.
"It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."

i like how the dude in the flashback actually gave her good advice in telling her to slow down and in her ignorance, sorry I mean "independence" she doesn't listen and gets herself in a serious car crash that caused her serious injuries
Aren't character's supposed to have character flaws? Her not listening to the kid is a sign of stubbornness. Character flaws are a good thing.
Lana Nahapetian I thought the scene of her being with her friend was actually because she was drinking away depression, that would help explain her apathetic nature, and I think it would of been a better movie if it showed that, even though she got back up, she didn’t get out unscathed and was still burdened by the insults and she would have to stand up to her own self-doubt, this theory would also explain why others call her emotional. And as someone who has suffered depression, I thought this would be a cool movie if it followed this idea and quite enjoyed the start and was looking forward to the rest of it.
instead I learned, halfway through he movie, that NO, wahmen are perfect beings who can’t be wrong and are the paragons of virtue and that there is also a separate, pure chaotic evil race of a thing called ‘men’ these mans only exist to selfishly and disgustingly limit the omnipotent powers of Wahmen, these disgusting males need to be Putin their place, in communists under wahmen control, with Marxists on their bodies to show their inferiority!
@@lana.pat1308 but she doesn't learn or improve from it, does she?? She's still the same stubborn woman at the end. Besides, stubbornness isn't shown as a flaw in the movie when it comes to her but as a good character trait to have.
@@lana.pat1308 well yea that would be a good thing, however, it is part of the montage showing how aweful men are and thus that context determines it is being used to show how men keep the wahmen down. If it wasn't for that context you would be very much correct.
The flashback of her in the airforce climbing the ropes is the same. You dont jump from one to the other, you're like 20 feet in the air. The men were saying she cant, because she shouldn't, cuz its unsafe as hell
I'll still never understand why characters like Captain Marvel get movies. The character that has become more or less a meme at this point at the amount of comics of hers cancelled and relauched due to consistent low sales yet despite that Marvel can call her one of their most ''popular'' characters.
I wonder if it's a half-truth, like "most popular" means selling the most comics or something, and Captain Marvel sells tons of comics because she makes dozens of runs that sell a bit, as opposed to fewer-but-longer-running series for other famous characters.
They're trying (and failing) to create their own Wonder Woman. They don't understand that while Wonder Woman is a badass she doesn't *act* like a cocky badass. Wonder Woman is nice, friendly and outgoing so people like her.
The funniest thing about this movie's muddled and confused feminist message is that it accidentally ends up condemning being a responsible mother who takes care of her child as a negative gender stereotype, instead praising a *disadvantaged minority single mother at a point in time when far less social progress had been made* for abandoning her child to go on a "cool mission" that she knows could likely leave her kid an orphan.
Is that *really* the feminist ideal? That even motherhood shouldn't tie you down - you're a strong and independent woman who doesn't need no man, and even basic responsibilities are just social constructs meant to tie you down to the patriarchal expectation that you.. Protect and raise your own children? I mean, what?
I guess the career-driven, heroic, childless, strong, independent wahmen is more important, and encouraged then being a mother.
Well they do support abortion all the way to birth, a little after in New York
My opinion is its easy to just work and care for one self. To be a parent is really difficult and the time and effort is exdroinary. The good parents are the real MVP's of the world.
Huh, it's as if you wanted that to be a point. I never saw them show that mother in a negative light. Did you? This just well might be a case of you overthinking.
Modern feminism is about avoiding any and all responsibilities. You won't find any example of modern feminism advocating for women to adopt responsibilities or praising women who do. Usually, they only care about money and power nowadays.

I absolutely hated when in Endgame she said that they lost because they didn’t have her and that now they’ll win because she’s with them. Her entire character to me is just extremely arrogant and not likable at all. There’s a difference between a strong character and a complete a$$hole. And to those who'll say Tony Stark is also an a$$hole yes, you're right. But despite his flaws he also has redeeming qualities that make him human and relatable. Captain Marvel is basically flawless (not a good thing) and has no redeeming qualities and is not relatable at all. After all you never had Superman show up to say “You lost because you didn’t have me.”
That freaked me out a lot. The directors already knew how hated the character was, then why would they give her such an arrogant line? Is like the directors wanted Carol to be hated.
And yeah, Tony was an asshole as well, but we saw him evolve and become a better person as time went on.
The only good part about that was she was actually totally irrelevant in the end.
Like they give her a TOKEN role of blowing up Thanos' ship, but Thor can do that if she's not here. She literally does nothing but get punched out of the movie and pretend she's relevant. She IMMEDIATELY abandons them after killing a crippled, half dead Thanos that already won.
Her role in the movie is literally as impactful as make a wish setting up a "boxing match" with Mike Tyson and a dying child. She got to show up and feel super cool, but ultimately she never hurt the guy and she didn't win anything.
They knew they were stuck with this dogshit character so they used her as she should be. Shallowly.
mhm. but hey "you go girl"
@@Gabi-dd7bq Tbf she’s very unlikable in the comics too lmao. At the very least they got that right.

I'm glad you pointed out the S.H.I.E.L.D inconsistency, I pointed it out and no one seemed to believe me. And I also, also, also, also, also, also, also, also... thought this movie was meh.
I can't believe I didn't notice that. When you run a movie series for this long you'll wind up making some inconsistencies. Theres a lot of them throughout the films. Even the timeline doesn't add up.
Regarding SHIELD and NASA around 22-23 min, there is actually a very legitimate in-universe reason why there'd be a fair amount of fuckery regarding technology and redaction going on there. Agents of SHIELD (Season 3 and 5) established that Hydra administrated parts of the US Military and explicitly NASA in addition to SHIELD between the CA1 and CAWS. It wouldn't be surprising at all to assume they were censoring any technological developments outside of their direct control, or SHIELD's.
But again this assumes that this was all some interconnected story and not Fiege stumbling upon some lore friendly portrayal of Captain Marvel. Fiege's hateboner for Ike has notoriously extended down to Marvel TV, and he has proven not above sabotaging Marvel's own brand if it means satisfying his petty revenge against different parts of the MCU he disapproves of. I don't think Marver Studios were aware of the worldbuilding AoS applied when they wrote that scene, they just stumbled into scenes that kind-of works.
The Shield thing has always been a plot hole. In Iron Man Coulson says they don't have a good name yet, and at the end he says to just call them "SHIELD". Problem: Fury said that Howard and Peggy founded Sheild years ago after WW2, so the fact they ONLY come up a proper name at the start of Iron Man makes no sense.
Coulson's statement about the acroymn is just supposed to be a wham like and nothing else

Something that would "fix" a lot of stuff is if Carol's emotions were actually out of control and that's why Fury lost his eye. It would make her realise that she needs to train in order to overcome the burden of being an overpowered entity in a mortal body.
It would also account for her hiding somewhere and for Fury not wanting to call her back because she could do more harm than good if left unchecked: last time he trusted her, he lost an eye after all.
That's an anime trope, but the film already dives into the "I will never go down because reasons !" shounen trope, so whatever I guess.
Besides, when it's used well it can lead to great moments (ex: Aang not wanting to firebend and not wanting to trigger the Avatar state ever again because he fears that he will hurt his friends)
It tells you how incompetent these writers are
What you just described is what I was expecting after seeing the ending to Infinity War, as someone who knew nothing about the Captain Marvel character. Your idea (and I will say I had a similar idea, where she'd spend the interim years in self-imposed exile on the far end of the galaxy) would have made her character that much more interesting in Endgame, as she'd show up to help only reluctantly as a favor to Fury, and we'd see that the years she's been away had turned her from an over-confident arrogant narccassit, into a self-loathing, self-nullifying bitter and reserved shell.
She'd help The Avengers re-assemble whilst being really sour about it, but the Avengers would'nt take it at face value. They'd see in her a lot of the flaws they once possessed, and would commit themselves to showing her the better way through acts of love, compassion, sacrafice and by training her both pracitcally and mentally. By the end of the film, Captain Marvel would have experienced true purpose and meaning for the first time in 28 years, she'd have made her first friends, have found a way to hone and focus her powers, and wouldbe an Avenger.
The Captain Marvel film would essentially be MCU's counterpart to Joker (2019). A cautionary tale of what the existing MCU heroes COULD have become if not bound by mortality, family, or any real consequence. The movie would have her do "heroic" things but without a second thought to collaterol or human lives. Her only moral link would be Fury because she grew fond of his demeanor, but she would not listen to his warning about the damage she was doing. Only at the end, when she hurts Fury (either accidentally or in a fit of rage) would she see fault in herself, and leave earth, leaving Fury with the pager as an apology and I.O.U of sorts. It also would have tied into the theme of SHIELD being reluctant to form The Avengers, with Fury, the one who was hurt the most last time being badass enough to push for it anyway and see it through.
Then in Endgame, Captain Marvel would be the foil to Spiderman, both being prodigy heroes trained by existing Avengers. Where Spiderman is excitable and friendly, Marvel would be introverted and repressed. Where Spidemans flaw was that he was too quick to use powers he didn't know how to use, Marvel flaw would be that she refused to even experiment with her (stronger) powers because she couldn't bear not perfecting it right away.
Also, Charlize Theron should have played Captain Marvel. That is all.

there are not enough uplikes, my friend, well done.
Here's one other small thing that would have made all the difference. She should have been sleeping with Jude Law. He's the definition of sleazy charmer, he's supposed to be manipulating her. She's a naive, fish out of water and he's the only one taking an interest in her. Now there are...what's the word...emotions! When she finds out she can get furious and have someone to direct that anger at. A main antagonist with a relationship to the hero. And it would actually be the sort of story women could relate to, the smarmy older guy using his position of power to take advantage of her.
This is basic shit!
"...she crashes through the roof of a blockbuster."
- This actually describes Brie's life up untill this point!
Yeah you're right, the film's called Avengers: Endgame...
Just a Girl was a brilliant musical choice. Because she can fly now and she's "had it up to here." It's a meta reference to Suicide Squad, another film with pointless pop songs that are incredibly on the nose. Also because this film is ripping off Guardians of the Galaxy, whose director is doing the Suicide Squad sequel.
It was at this moment 41:02 that Mauler finally used Youngledor in a way that made it sound like it was the real characters name. He was irritated at Plank. It sounded so smooth.
he thinks of Jude Law as his Harry Potter performance. I think of his roles in Gattaca, AI and Sherlock Homes. And in the last one he starred with Robert Downey Jr. Which could've been a fun reference if his Kree character and Tony Stark run into each other.

Also to get less people dying because when he did field medic things or something he noticied how there were less people dying of bullet wounds than of diseases so he thought that if there were less people shooting at each other (because the Gatling gun could fire lots more bullets with less people) that less people would die.

Making a movie that retroactively interacts with an official timeline is difficult. One misstep and you have a plothole that goes outside the movie.
These guys managed to set of the entire minefield
Someone from Marvel: "Have you seen the rest of the MCU movies?"
Captain Marvel's director: "What the fuck is MCU?"
The only way to screw up this badly is to ignore nearly every aspect of the prior movies.
And that's why so many prequels are garbage, better to make sequels, gaidens, or better yet new IPs lord knows we are starving for those currently, If it absolutely must be a prequel better to set it so far in the past that it has little to no impact on the overarching story. Retcons also need to stop being treated as narrative wonderglue, even good retcons inflict collateral damage more often than not!

It could have worked if the story/script acknowledged her flaws. They could have even suggested some social disorder caused by childhood trauma or something.

Hell, The LEGO Batman Movie played with this concept by having the protagonist be a sociopathic loner obsessed with his identity as Batman rather than Bruce Wayne.
And it while it was played for laughs, it wound up making him a relatable character who you rooted for.
But nooooooo, we had to get writers who think people are just born perfect and are grown in a vat.
That is actually a great character flaw and plot point. her obsession with proving her self leads to arrogance and her not acknowledging that you have to fail to be able to succeed. The whole idea of her being able to stand back up and continue, which seems to be a big theme of the movie, could've been explored. Because after you get back up, you try again. And you do better.
