Are there any Kree writings in this movie? I just want to make sure because I have a shirt with Kree writing on it and I would like to wear it to the theater if so.

This was my favorite part of the movieI liked when Carol just belly flopped through one of Rhonin's ships. She didn't even have to do anything lol.
Don't wear Captain Marvel merchandise to a screening of Captain Marvel.
Learn from Happy Hogan's college years: Don't be that guy.
What was the point of the "Captain Marvel will return in Avengers: Endgame" title card?
Yeah, obviously she's going to return in the next Avengers movie, you just showed us a scene from it 2 seconds ago.
It's also inspired by the "James Bond will return in [next movie]" line at the end of the older Bond films.They do one of those in every single Marvel movie. It's just a tradition.
There's a Pre-credits "Character will return in..." for every Marvel movie? I certainly don't remember it for stuff like Strange or Ant-Man.They do one of those in every single Marvel movie. It's just a tradition.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in all of them. Infinity War had "Thanos will return" which was then being cheeky with the tradition.There's a Pre-credits "Character will return in..." for every Marvel movie? I certainly don't remember it for stuff like Strange or Ant-Man.
I guess I often didn't notice or see since it's commonly at the very end of the film, even after the post-credits scene.....whereas with Captain Marvel it is just at the mid-credits.Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in all of them. Infinity War had "Thanos will return" which was then being cheeky with the tradition.
No one
No one
Shield had it the whole time it's just for like 6 years it was missing because Marvell hid it from the kree
I really hope Rogue and Captain Marvel cross paths one day..... :p

No Howard Stark found it while looking for Cap
There were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many "subtle hints" to Monica succeeding Carol, or at least gaining some of Carol's power.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh kind ofThe Marvel title with all Stan Lee moments was so cool.
Also they basically completely changed Carol's origin story right?
I was hoping they had her touch the cube or somethingThere were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many "subtle hints" to Monica succeeding Carol, or at least gaining some of Carol's power.
The Star Wars musical homages during the canyon chase scene were really distracting.
So the Tessaract powered Hydra's weapons, sent Red Skull to the planet with the Soul stone, powered a prototype light speed engine, gave Danvers her powers, allowed Loki to warp in and brainwash Selvig, opened a portal to allow the NYC invasion, acquired by Thanos so he could do the snap....
The Tesseract just does whatever the writers want at that point. :pSo the Tessaract powered Hydra's weapons, sent Red Skull to the planet with the Soul stone, powered a prototype light speed engine, gave Danvers her powers, allowed Loki to warp in and brainwash Selvig, opened a portal to allow the NYC invasion, acquired by Thanos so he could do the snap....
I wonder how many other movies it's gonna be in :p
Thanos is going to be so surprised when he realizes Danvers IS an infinity stone lol
One correction: it was Loki's staff, which contained the Mind Stone, that brainwashed Selvig and Hawkeye.
I loved this movie. Easily top 10 in the MCU and possibly top 5 as well. It's basically a Phase 1 movie but better in every way.
How beautiful were the Supreme Intelligence scenes? Those were visually so well done, as was the Skrull mind probe scene.
Also, we can assume that Carol does something that forces the Kree to stop warring on the rest of known space, right? Since between this movie and GotG the Kree sign an unpopular peace with Xandar that makes Ronan go rogue.
Probably because it's the only Stone confirmed to be on Earth and not in anyone's possession.The Tesseract just does whatever the writers want at that point. :p
That was my thought. It all lined up and would fit in as yet another 90s reference.
Well, she does literally say that she's going to Hala to finish the war, so I imagine she does.Well she did kind of slap the Supreme Intelligence and tear up an Accuser bomber. The Kree probably don't want to risk pissing her off.
Oh god, now you made me feel REALLY old :(
And for the Stan Lee cameo, for those of you who have never seen Mallrats (also making me feel really old)
Just got back. Pretty mixed on it overall. The start was REALLY rough but I thought the middle section had a lot of good stuff in it in particular. I think I'd give it about a 6.5/10. I agree with how the critical average ranks it in the lower-middle of the MCU movies. It's basically around Ant-Man/Thor quality...which isn't really what you want for an origin story of the most powerful entity in the MCU.
The Good:
+ The Stan Lee intro was great and the Mallrats cameo was hilarious.
+ Samuel L. Jackson fucking kills it. The film improves immeasurably the moment he shows up.
+ The digital de-aging on SLJ was absolutely ridiculous and I can't believe how good it looked.
+ Letting Ben Mendelsohn use his Aussie accent LMAO
+ Talos being WAY more interesting than I expected from the marketing. Dug it.
+ The actress who played Maria gave the best performance in the film even though her character was pretty thin. Her emoting during several scene was just spot on and made Carol seem kinda bland by comparison.
+ Some cool musical choices (some not, but more on that later).
+ The cat was hilarious. Glad they included the alien aspect.
+ The closing title sequence was AWESOME.
+ The original score was really, really cool. One of the most memorable in a while.
+ A cat causing Fury's eye injury. LMAO
The Bad:
- The direction was really flat for almost the entire movie. There was so little personality to most of the shots and a lot of the action/dialogue coverage was super sloppy and ugly. You can tell these guys don't have much experience in tentpole films.
- The editing was really bad in places. At least 2 action scenes where I felt a headache coming on from how incoherent it was. Also tons of shots where continuity doesn't match to the point of distraction, like Brie's half-way through a laugh and it cuts and she's looking all stern.
- The first half-hour really had me fearing the worst. It's just full of awful expository dialogue and rushes through SO many things. It was annoying to watch. I honestly think it's one of the most ill-conceived openings to any MCU movie so far.
- A lot of cringey forced quippy dialogue, a lot of it given to Carol, which is ironic given that people expected her to be "too serious" when honestly I thought the opposite was true. It reminded me of Age of Ultron where the "witty" dialogue was so relentless at times you could sense the actors mechanically going through the motions rather than being able to let it play naturally.
- Forgettable action sequences for the most part.
- CGI during the third act was pretty rough; Carol looked like a blurry digital blob when flying around, the shot when she's falling back towards Earth was horrible
- Totally wasting Annette Bening on a nothing role.
- Carol's origin story wasn't very interesting and I never really cared much about her as a character.
- Larson was kinda all over the place. I struggled to get a bead on what she was trying to do and I ended up wishing the character was written to be more stoic. I think this is way more the material/direction's fault than her because she's normally very good.
- The 90s nostalgia was laid on WAY too thick.
- Some embarrassing musical choices later on. Eye-rolled a bit at "Just a Girl" during a fight. "Come As You Are" also felt really tacked on for the sake of it. Reminded me of Suicide Squad where obvious songs are just thrown in with no cohesion.
- Agent Coulson de-aging looked way worse than Nick Fury's. Like the first few scenes I'd believe you if you told me he wasn't available for some reason and they just pasted his likeness over a stand-in.
- A bit underwhelmed by the mid-credits scene. Her just showing up was so anti-climactic and it was clearly just a scene taken from Endgame (that's always disappointing).
- The new Ronan makeup was SO bad. It just looked like they slapped some blue paint on Lee Pace, especially during the close-ups at the end. Didn't look anywhere near as cool or nuanced as in GOTG.
I feel like it was neither the trainwreck the haters wanted it to be nor the 4/5-star coming out party for the character its fans wanted. If we're comparing female-led superhero movies, Wonder Woman felt so much more confident and assured than this in pretty much every way, which is surprising.
Just another good ass MCU film. You know what sucks tho. The fact that Monica will be in her 30s in the current times cause I would of loved watching her and Cassie Lang interact cause those where two awesome daughters in the MCU.
The thing I loved the most of his Mallrats scene, was when he first says goodbye to Brodie, and starts walking away (to left of frame), he gets stopped, says his last line, and proceeds to go the other direction (right of frame).
Stan the Man.
