She had no connection to Mar-Vell and had her own powers. She was pretty badassed, took no shit from anyone and was even a leader of The Avengers. The history of the character "Captain Marvel" is a confusing one but if you want to know more about it read this: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-unfortunate-and-obscure-history-of-monica-rambeau-1726108988 Carol Danvers was first a side character "Ms. Marvel" and later turned into Captain Marvel after Rambeau faded away. Rambeau was the first and Marvel should have had the guts to make a movie about her instead of a safe white character.  Originally Carol Danvers was dressed as a big breasted blonde for teenagers to drool over. Then she became more modest and now looks too manly. At least in the movie she looks more fitting as a real super hero which matches all the current MCU characters, but no one really cares about her and I don't think this movie will do well. The comics are not selling and having someone like Brie Larson playing the role is making her character even worse. She's miscast as Brie is very wooden and is only using this movie to further her activsm. It's a movie that doesn't need to be made and none of the trailers make it look interesting in the slightest. Why is there nothing of substance to talk about with these trailers? Because there's nothing of substance about them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same reason why Empire Strikes Back did worse than Star Wars - because bad word of mouth and because it was horrible. OOOOOOOORRRRRR, because sequels almost always do worse than the first movie since by definition you aren't going to pick up people between movies (well I suppose there are some people who will see a sequel without seeing the first one) and you will always lose some.  Some sequels make more money than the first, but it's pretty rare.  On 2/6/2019 at 1:49 PM, ALIEN-gunner said: The only "Sexism" attatched to this move is that the terrible Brie Larson is using it as an activist movement instead of a popcorn flick, which is all it is, but it's looking to be a dull one so why not us it that way. There is no sexism in the real world with movie goers.  Odd, because people online seem to be review-bombing this movie already before it comes out, all under the guise of attacking it for having a pro-female message (which some men interpret to mean anti-male).

TwinIon Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Review bombing or not, it seems that the box office is looking pretty good. Â A few days ago Deadline had the tracking right around $100M, and other sources have it as high as the $140-180M range. Only Iron Man and Black Panther have had MCU origin films that opened above $100M (BP was $202M!), and Wonder Woman grossed just over $100M. That could mean a ~$400M domestic take could be doable. It would only need $410M to beat Iron Man 3 and trail only the Avengers films and BP in the MCU sweepstakes. Â It sure feels to me like Marvel is pushing this one hard and it looks like it will pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALIEN-gunner Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There's really no review bombing as those aren't reviews. RT has a function that asks users if they're looking forward to the movie and users are answering with "no" and explaining why mostly because of Brie Larson's recent anti-white male rhetoric. Other reasons I'm sure are that it looks like a boring film(and it does!), that it's uneeded filler with End Game releasing soon after and that few people even know who Captain Marvel is. Captain Marvel comics are tanking, the character has been rebooted about 5 or 6 times within the last 7 years. Marvel doesn't know what to do with her and is for some odd reason banking on her for the MCU but it doesn't look like it's going to do as well as they wanted. Many people think Marvel is trying push her to be their version of Wonder Woman. That movie was fucking amazing and practically everyone loved it. Instead of focusing a film around one of Marvels truly sucessful female heroes they choose one who no one cares about. Fucking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one knows who Captain Marvel is other than Shazam. She was first a black woman unrelated to Mar-Vell, then faded away and then a white woman related to Mar-Vell. The point is her character is a mess unlike the others who are well known in the comics for years, who've had action figures, been on lunch boxes and breakfast cereals! Even Guardians of the Galaxy are more well known and also have the advantage of being a group of diverse colorful characters set in a fantasy outer space universe. Captain Marvel is this character with a 1 dimentional personality that's supposed to be more powerful then every other Marvel hero ever because... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, NO ONE including a lot of comic fans knew who the Guardians were before the movie... most folks don't even know that the movie team isn't even the original, classic team.  Also Carol Danvers AKA Ms. Marvel AKA Binary AKA Warbird AKA Captain Marvel has been consistently  portrayed as one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe ever since she first went super-saiya... I mean Binary, way back in  X-men 164 from 1982. I know because I actually OWN that comic. She punched Rogue into freaking Orbit. The same Rogue who had a portion of HER strength from permanently absorbing her powers when she was Ms. marvel. Her "power up" isn't some social justice pandering as is being alluded to in this thread but is WHO she's been for going on 30 years.  Her character has grown for years since she was reintroduced and those saying she has"no character" or whatever the fuck don't know what they're talking about.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
