Doesn't make sense from an in universe perspective she is one of if not the most powerful Marvel heroes.
Again the movie and the actors where fine, it was a middle of the road marvel movie better than Black Panther for sure.

Yeah, the opening really added a lot of context to the Stan Lee tweet about the movie. It was still a dumb tweet, but it makes much more sense now.

It's fucking hilarious that the guy advocating doing nothing chose "Fight" as his nickname here.

She's actually more on the Thor/Hulk side of things. She's too powerful to be an "World Hero", really. She actually ruins things when they try to cram her into that role, which is why her comics have been failing so much--because that's what they've been doing. Her better stories is when she fucks off with deep space types for long periods and only comes back when her problems come home to roost on earth, and she needs the help of terrestrial heroes--again, like Thor.
In the comics, Marvel is broken down into three rough groups. Street heroes (Dare Devil, Punisher ect.), these guys work best with smaller stories, saving the city, or groups of people ect. "World Heroes", Iron Man, Captain America ect who handle threats that can topple countries or even the world (One of Spider man's gimmicks is he's strong enough to be here, but he purposely sticks to the street because this kind of 'big shot' hero tends to fuck a lot of shit up, too.), then you have your heroes that operate throughout the Galazy/Metaverse, like Doctor Strange, Marvel or Thor.
This is one major reason why I think Captain Marvel being the "face of the avengers" is kind of stupid. The Avengers are an Earth-team, and Marvel just doesn't play well in that wheel house. It would be like making Thor into the leader, a lot of great smaller stories become stupid because you'd constantly have to ask yourself "okay...why doesn't he/she just fly around real fast and solve all the problems?"

I have a problem with these two posts.
Criticizing shit is always good but sometimes ignoring dumb shit is also good. Neither equates gossiping online with super cereal activism.
What Larson said about the dude that hit on her was bullshit if he treated her nice. If he was extremely forward as in, "Yo bitch let me suck on them titties you fucking whore," then she had every reason to be upset. That is unlikely what happened. In either case she politicized a non issue which is fucking crazy.
Everything else she said is questionable and that is coming from a reasonable position giving her every benefit of the doubt.
This video is pretty good
Fair to say Captain Whoreville is a ridiculous shitbag.

I don't really care about the airport thing, that's just her being a retard. What i cared about was her acting in an official capacity as a movie's rep, and claiming too many "white males" were interviewing her. Or claiming a certain movie was not made for "white men" and thus they shouldn't comment on it. And even then I really wouldn't give a shit if we were not in the social justice hysteria we were in (I'd just chalk her up as an idiot, which is why I get what you're saying, I'm all for just letting stupid speech slide), but we unfortunately are in that hysteria and if such a statement were said about any other group, the person who said it would be immediately fired, black listed and de-platformed--including the use of financial services and the like. This happens regularly to people saying far less overtly exclusionary or racist shit about any other group. I posted it before, but I think its important to simply change the groups around and see how unacceptable this language would be from the mouth of a white male about other groups.
“About a year ago, I started paying attention to what my press days looked like and the critics reviewing movies, and noticed it appeared to be overwhelmingly Jewish. So, I spoke to Dr Stacy Smith at the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, who put together a study to confirm that. Moving forward, I decided to make sure my press days were more inclusive. After speaking with you, the film critic Valerie Complex and a few other white men, it sounded like across the board they weren’t getting the same opportunities as the Jews. When I talked to the facilities that weren’t providing it, they all had different excuses.’
Yikes right?
“are not allowed enough chances to read public discourse on these films by the people that the films were made for. I do not need a 40-year-old Jew to tell me what didn’t work for him about Mein Kampf. It wasn’t made for him. I want to know what it meant to white men, to Christian Men.”
If you only allow people to disregard/criticize/disparage one group, but stifle it for all others, eventually that group will start to appear twisted and terrible and genuinely the source of all the world's problems. (Rather than simply being human and being shitty in the way that literally all humans are). It's not even so much what Brie said that is the reason people need to speak up--its the fact that if you have this kind of open attitude about communication for this group, you should absolutely fight for it for every group. And part of that fight is holding these people to their own rules until it strangles them--its the only way to get some moralizing douche to stop trying to hold the reigns of speech/communication.
I mean, wee live in a world where children who smiled awkwardly at a brown-person beating a drum in their face had journalists calling for their lives to be literally ruined, to be barred from work, and being productive, to be made an example of...We have people like Dankula being thrown in jail for 'threatening Jews' by making his pug do a Nazi salute, people like Peterson being drug before tribunals for not calling a man a woman and people like Sargon being banned from major financial services that are essential for running a modern business merely because he said something deemed 'offensive'. You can't have those kinds of extremes and simply ignore this. To do so only encourages the bullying and witch hunting. Witch hunts do not end until the people on the pyre are the friends and family of the witch hunters.

Try to use how you feel right now to empathize with how everyone with a set of functioning testicles feels when these people shove politics into their media and entertainment. If you REALLY felt this way, you'd be enraged by Brie doing that. But you don't feel this way. You only feel this way when its opinions you don't agree with being spoken of.

So, it seems the consensus is despite Brie, the movie is not a steaming pile of shit, it's not terrible, and if you can stomach seeing Brie, it may be enjoyable... Good!

So what are CM flaws, was she ever brought down a peg or two, did she ever fuck up so colossally that there were real consequences?
Does she have a redemption story buried somewhere because thats what makes hero stories popular and relatable?
That should have been the focal point of an origin story in my opinion , yes its a worn out trope but it works.
Attitude wise she is 180 from the comics, the Cpt Marvel i remember was always a very strict authoritarian military type. She still did her own thing though.
In this movie they made her more brash and "hero like" by going off on her own.

I think I'm really rubbing off on you man. Noticed it like six months ago. Or you are feeling the precipice. Been interesting seeing more and more of an edge appear in your posts.
For everyone seeing the movie. If you are having problems having a kid, pm me and I'll come fuck your wife for you.
Child support waiver is required prior to me putting one in her tho.

What is kind of crazy is how much praise this is getting on the SJW female empowerment front, meanwhile Battle Angel which is also a movie about a strong female protagonist is just flat out ignored. James Cameron is getting plenty of shit over it even though he has created and filmed some of the strongest Women leads in cinema history. I guess the difference is he didn't bust people over with head with it like a douche.

audience reviews on metacritic have it at 2.4 out of ten. Most of the reviews give Sam Jackson credit for being the only one who hasnt just mailed it in.
