I think Brie is really flat in this and they are the main cause. Do we know what past project did those 2 director do ?Better script and director would do wonders with Brie's talent. Action and the movie in general was bland.
Eh, this was one of the fights that definitly could have used some work.
Am I the only one that that thought Carol and Maria
Were totally co-parenting lovers raising a kid together pre dont ask don't tell so Carol was "auntie Carol" instead of mom because they ain't want the military to fuck up their careers plus they lived in a racist/homophobic as fuck deep south? Oh I am? Ok then bye
So...we're going to have to wait until the sequel beforewe get to see Kamala Khan in the MCU since Carol hasn't been on Earth for decades and thus hasn't been a huge inspiration for her, right? Also Wolverine isn't in the MCU yet either.

you know what i find funny about the complains about carol being a deus ex machina?
tha nobody complained about Thor having stormbreaker as an upgrade.
like literally, if he could have forged stormbreaker on ragnarok,
Carol blows up the spaceship drive as a sacrifice with no expectation that she would survive. It takes immense lifesaving treatment using advanced technology to save her life and results in her being made into a slave soldier for six years and losing her identity. Is that not consequence enough?Yeah, but they've established that gods can be killed on screen - so upgrade or not, there's still a risk of failure. Here, she's just blowing shit up with no consequence. And breathing in space without a mask, apparently.

Yeah. Agreed. We have already seen that Thor can stomp Thanos ass. Doesn't matter we have another strong character who can smack him around.It makes no sense to get bent out of shape for Carol being a deus ex machina because defeating Thanos is not the goal of Endgame. Undoing the Snap is and you can't brute force your way through that.
Carol's never shown to be invincible either, though. She's still human.Yeah, but they've established that gods can be killed on screen - so upgrade or not, there's still a risk of failure. Here, she's just blowing shit up with no consequence. And breathing in space without a mask, apparently.
How can everything be predictable? Like,7/10 for me. Every move in the film was predictable, and when your main character is invincible, it kills any kind of meaningful stakes or tension in the film.
At least superman has kryptonite.
If she's the one who ends up taking down Thanos in End Game I'm not gonna be happy. Spend a decade building a cinematic universe only to have deus ex marvel come in to save the day at the 11th hour.
Humour was alright. Music was 90s goodness but not done as masterfully as guardians.
They can still avenge these people, but yeah, the main stake of Endgame is "how do we turn this shit into that one winning scenario where we bring everyone back".It makes no sense to get bent out of shape for Carol being a deus ex machina because defeating Thanos is not the goal of Endgame. Undoing the Snap is and you can't brute force your way through that.

the comparison is really huge between them vs coogler / taika
I have no doubt the Russos will do Brie justice in Endgame
I'm confused, they mentioned they were 24 hours from earth in the other planet. The closest star is 4 light years. So somehow there a distance of 24 hour so between earth and the other solar system. So they are already faster than light. And throughout this universe it has been shown that they can travel between systems within hours. So why is a light speed engine important?
It was laid out in Guardians 2 that Jump points are used to hop from System to System roughly, judging by the number of jumps Rocket/Yondu do to get from the Crash Site planet to Ego. Keep in mind that even with these it's implied that they have designated open/shut points as otherwise one could reasonably make a trip in one jump.Well, they use jump points to travel large distances between galaxies and solar systems. That, plus... who knows? to travel between planets. I actually had this complaint after Guardians of the Galaxy, and people looked at me like I was crazy lol. Like I was dumb to care about that.
So maybe the "light-speed" engine is something that will allow them to travel great distances without the need for jump points, or maybe travel faster between jump points. It's one of the world building things the movie doesn't do right, but that's been my complaint about Cosmic Marvel since Guardians.
Wait, what.I saw it on Thursday and it was thoroughly meh. Another cookie-cutter action movie and the editing of the action scenes was plain bad.
The "never giving up" bit was straight out of DBZ, not foreshadowed (and boy do they foreshadow the things they wanted to notice. Gotta mention the cat's a Flerken a few more times, audiences might forget) and unearned.

If captain marvel actually beats thanos, it would be the worst conclusion ever.
Unless you somehow think the movies follow the comics 100%, the movie (and twist) is very predictable.How can everything be predictable? Like,the main twist isn't really telegraphed and runs fairly counter to the comic book expectation as well.
All told even knowing it's an origin story, the structure of this one is quite different from your run of the mill origin. I don't think it was AMAZING, solid 7.5-8/10 for me, but it's far from predictable in the standard origin story manner, other than 'you already know from pop culture vaguely her background' which is kind of impossible to be objective about.
I feel the amnesia storyline was very awkwardly done.
The entire point of amnesia storylines in movies is that the viewer can explore the past of a character together with the character. That's how it works in Memento, The Bourne Identity, Finding Dory and every single other game, movie and television show that features a character with amnesia.
Yet, in this movie they manage to fuck it up by having that, admittedly neat, compilation of memory flashbacks early in the movie. Everybody with half a brain will be able to piece together the entirety of Carol's backstory from those. Yet they still try to do the same kind of amnesia storyline as every other movie using that plot element, even though the audience (and honestly, Carol herself) should already have pieced together most of it.
I see it a bit differently
I think the flashbacks tell most of the story but leave important holes in it, and that is what I think Carol (and the audience with her) is looking for. She certainly knows she has been on Earth before, and was friends with those people, but not how and why. Like for example I wasn't completely sure if she was human or not, if there was a further away past that she didn't remember, and how exactly she endend up with the kree. I didn't see the Skrull plot twist coming neither, but I'm normally not very good at seeing those things :P
