she only became hard as nails as she remembered her past. she was a normal soccermom the rest of the time. but yeah thats one of them..

BTW if you can read french, here is the first review
Captain Marvel - la critique du film

A monolithic heroine whose feminist struggle seems to be the only reason to exist. The result, without emotion, is closer to the nonsense of A shortcut in time than a traditional Avenger .

First line of article.

I just finished reading it, the guy didn't like it. Didn't like Brie Larson either, says she gives a flat performance that has none of what made Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman so charming and likeable.

I'm not familiar with the reviewer, but there's a very condescending tone to the article. He sounds like one of these critics that think their opinion is superior to others. Still, not much positive in it.

I read a few more reviews.

It seems it's good, but could have been better. Doesn't take many chances, and mostly follow the Marvel formula for better or for worse.

Opinions on Brie's performance seems to be varied, from she's flat, to pretty good. Opinion on her performance seem to be influenced a lot based on gender of reviewer. :)

One thing that seems to have a general consensus is that the supporting cast is great. Praise for Samuel L. Jackson and the de-aging process. Universal praise for Ben Mendelson and his performance, but also for the character itself which people find more nuanced then the typical Marvel villain. Again praise for the actress playing Monica Rambeau and her arc with Carol being the emotional anchor of the movie.

Overall it seems like it will be middle tier Marvel movie, good but doesn't reach it's potential.

Maybe we're missing ehr real character motivation.. Maybe she had a profound personal loss. Part of the universe that turned to dust in the snap was...

Her ass

With that said...

next step for Marvel/Disney is casting a tranny superhero.

make this a signature for future gains.

A) Tinkerbell in live action Peter Pan
B) Move live action Mulan to Thailand and take advantage of native talent.

Yeah fuck no chance.

"Captain marvel plays an amnesiac heroine who has a systematic mistrust in a world of men, where she will make it clear to these men that she does not need guidance. Brie cannot maintain the poise of an icon, not even capable of seduction, as seduction is sexist and therefore off topic for this movie.

"Everything is written to signify the need for emancipation of women in a patriarchal and phallocratic world"

Like I said, fuck this movie. Shitlords should stand outside the theater and plaster male viewers with soy milk.

If its a legit good movie despite this delusional cunt, i dont think it should bomb, but feige has forgotten who his audience is. We need to show him that this `wasnt made for us'.

Well he's fucking French, isn't he. That condescension is a natural state of being.

Oof, sorry, my English Canadian prejudices are showing.

I'm not even going to pirate this shit at this point. I'll just hit up a spoiler synopsis the day after it releases to find out what I need to know for Endgame

lulz it's not gonna bomb, this is a marvel movie, an industry that caters to autists who can't live w/o having a mint issue of Captain Marvel 35

they're gonna see it, cuz they can't help themselves, and see it twice.

btw the released comic is also garbage

written by a chick, drawn by a chick, well buonfantino isn't bad... as far as chick artists go actually, shes just the best of the worst.

If it doesn't meet disney's internal expectations, then it is a failure.

Just like a faulty armor father has expectations of A+ grades for their children. Anything less than that is absolute failure.
