‘Captain Marvel’ Wings Past $1 Billion Worldwide; Becomes 7th Marvel Pic To Milestone

Lmao, ERA never forgets. I was dead wrong, damn
I have quite the fan club I see
Wonderful, just wonderful news. I expected the movie to do well but I really didn't expect it to be that big of a hit. Kevin Feige is unstoppable.
I wouldn't say deserved or great film but I did enjoy it. As far as origin Marvel movie goes this one is slightly better than Ant-Man for me. My favorite till this day is Iron-Man.
I'm already seeing them move the goalposts to "Okay, but that doesn't mean people LIKED it!"
Note that of the seven MCU billion dollar movies, the only solo character debut films on the list are Captain Marvel and Black Panther.
What could it mean?
Also the shift in timeframe to the '90s kind of requires the name change. Star Wars was a complete non-presence in general pop culture by then, while Top Gun would still have been a relevant reference for a pet name. These days it's pretty hard to imagine a world in which Star Wars wasn't a thing except in an "Oh yeah I remember those movies" sense, but in the '90s pre-Special Editions it was definitely the case.

Surely a complete sales failure.
I loved it. (Except the "just a girl" scene, that was cheesy as hell lol. Save that for the credits.)
Very happy this hit 1 Billion! I wish it would shut up the internet trolls, but that will never happen unfortunately.
I'm glad to see the movie being as successful as it deserves to be. Congrats to everyone involved.
The fact that this was done with someone who hasn't appeared in the MCU prior (all Carol had was a teaser in Infinity War) is insane.

Batman bringing the pain for a Marvel movie.
LOL.
Good to see you can own up to it.
It might, just might, indicate that there's a huge untapped audience for comic book movies that cater to more than just white men and that a more diverse MCU wouldn't just be more inclusive but more lucrative too.
Go figure.
Also the positive word of mouth and quality of the movie.
What makes this result even more surprising is that Marvel Studios was having all white men who tried to watch the movie arrested.
The whole "She never smiles" or "Wooden performance" rhetoric really grinds my gears.GET WOKE, GO BROKE
Shes a space cop, when shes on the job shes serious, and when shes off the clock shes having fun and wise cracking.
I don't know what people expected.
Looks like the basement virgins boycott failed. Pro-tip fellas: you need to actually have friends in real life to be able to organize an actual boycott. Not "internet friends".
That's absolutely a factor, but I think the movie function well as a crowd pleaser. It's got plenty of cheese for sure, but it's way more fun than super bland or lifeless origin movies like Doctor Strange or Ant Man imo. I cannot see how a DS movie could hit a billion with Derrickson as the director or AM with Reed even with 2 massive Avengers mega blockbusters as the best kind of awareness.
This criticism is just hyperbolic imo, because Brie showed more charisma than I expected given some of the feedbacks on the movie. It's not a performance up to par for an academy winning actress, but Larson was fine overall and can only do better with more meat around the bone.
Feminism just ruined Christmas! Or something.
Well deserved.
A queen takes her victory lap.
Well deserved.
At least half of it is sexist garbage, and the other half is projection. She's wooden in the trailers, but her performance in the actual movie is warm and likeable.

You don't see those same idiots saying the same about Dr. Strange, Colson, Steve Rogers, and others who rarely smile while in character. I think it's especially hilarious that the biker guy in CM told her to smile. It's liek they knew the basement dwellers would come after this movie.
