I have all the faith in the world in our Lord and Savior, Kevin Feige. I mean he has spearheaded and mapped out the biggest movie franchise ever. I think even the mouse will keep hands off and let him do his thing as long as its as successful as it has been

i think if this was coming from a different studio with a different track record, i'd be concerned about a female super hero led movie. captain marvel is extremely well known if you read comics. if you don't, though, you have NO idea who she is, so there's a LOT of temptation to just change her completely to fit whatever narrative a studio wants.

but feige REALLY respects source material. he's made changes to characters but they've all fit with the spirit of the character themselves, so it's okay.

Listening to some people talk in a manner that suggest they know any about the Marvel Universe is hilarious.

Something is dropping tomorrow. Brie Larson and EW are doing that cutesy thing that RDJ and Marvel did moving the IW drop date forward on Twitter.

I don't get why everything has to be so devisive, cool a female superhero that is powerful, as a guy I can dig that, by why does the future have to be female. I would prefer, hey look at this awesome super hero movie over hey look at this empowered woman movement.

Because it's not about writing a good story that also addresses an issue it's now about writing the power fantasies from their head straight to the screen and you better like their take on it you god damn Nazi.

Half that trailer is lifted from Battlestar. Those shots of Samuel L Jackson are from Shaft as well

The squad looks like they're from SWTOR and bought matching outfits from the cash shop. You can even tell the class differentiations like the jacked dude in the back with the shoulderpads must be the tank, chick with the rifle is the agent/operative, Korrath with the dual wield weapons on the back, and since Captain Marvel herself is melee without guns that leaves the last as the healer.

The only dropped ball I can think of in this regard is Mandarin; I was really disappointed with that.

Lol, the black guy with blue face-paint (just to left of Brie) reminds me of that Rick and Morty episode with Unity. He looks straight off that derelict ship.

They really needed to wait on Mandarin until after Dr Strange so people would be more accepting of the magic elements to the MCU. I imagine if they had made that movie now it would have been classic Mandarin.

I like the de-aging aspect of this movie that is starting to be a thing now with more movies using the tech.

That looks pretty good. Will have to see how it holds up with actual motion.
