I think this may be my favourite promotional interview video ever:
My friends and I bought our tickets today and are super excited for Captain Marvel, Nick Fury with two eyes and this good boy right here. “Super excited” Lewl, super random slay queen like omg you guyyyyzzz. It’s like you people are made in a vat or something. No originality all the same weird vocabulary and political opinions.

I just watched the movie and the story is pretty solid. And as the only person in the entire world that hated both Thor Ragnarok and Aquaman for their forced jokes, the humor in Captain Marvel is much more to my tastes, more natural and Carol Danvers is very easy going. But it lacks on the action and there absolutely no big cinematographic fights or great challenges. About the whole controversy: although there isn’t any feminist speech, and the movie shows Carol failing numerous times, she’s a bit of a Mary Sue because of how easily she controlled her powers. And one last thing more symbolic: they changed Mar-vell to a woman, all Carol friends are black and the villain is a white man

Now just to wait Rotten Tomatos to remove the audience score after the score isn't what they hoped.
It's going to be the first MCU movie I am not going to pay to see, especially after seeing the reviews. At best it is an average film, but not on MCU standards.

^ RT just downgraded the 54k user reviews to 4K. Go figure. Did they strike off 50k user reviews? YT is also reporting this; calls for government intervention over CM reviews. Are they serious? What's going on over there?

Just got back from the theatre! Not my favourite MCU film, but great fun.
And I am so proud of myself for not ruining one of the twists for everyone in my social circle months ago as soon as I saw the cat in the trailer. (I'm the only person who had read the relevant comics and knew what Captain Marvel's cat actually was.) I'm itching to see Carol interact with the Avengers in Endgame now. Or at least the ones that are on Earth and not dust. Also can't wait to see Monica all grown up and in costume! Maybe in Captain Marvel 2, assuming it has a twenty-fist century setting and isn't some kind of bridging story about what she gets up to between Captain Marvel and Endgame?

Just came back from Captain Marvel and I liked it. Not as much as I liked Spiderman: Homecoming, but it was better than Dr. Strange and about on par with Black Panther for me.
The theater was packed and the showing after mine was sold out. I'm not seeing evidence of a boycott.

Not too surprising. The incels have been kicking up a fuss for a while, but there aren't actually that many of them.

The best part was when she used the Tesseract to pull all the men of Earth into an alternate dimension where they are farmed for their sperm and then slaughtered to make Soylent Cuck.

Better to rewatch Wonder Woman again. At least Gal Gadot has class a romantic subplot with a white man that I can mentally replace with myself. And yet, that didn't stop neckbeards everywhere from bleating about how much it was gonna suck and fail. It's almost as if it doesn't even fucking matter what the movie is, or which woman stars in it. When the next female-led superhero movie comes along, you'll probably use Brie Larson as a cudgel against it, in turn. I'm surprised there isn't more circlejerking in here over the "obvious superiority" of Alita: a movie with far more (and far more explicit) left-leaning sentiment than Captain Marvel, but which straight white men are apparently enjoying immensely (which I'm sure has nothing whatsoever to do with watching a doe-eyed teenage girl get beaten up repeatedly).

Most of this forum are incels, just because you might class yourself a feminist don’t think women are gonna like you too. The only difference between them and you is they are already know women won’t touch em.

Never heard that from her and didn't hear that specifically in relation to the marketing for WW. B. While the word choice is pushing it i don't have a problem with feminism just certain types so her statement isnt as bad as Brie's out and out sexism in the name of diversity.

I saw Captain Marvel today and it was pretty good. It's a bit weird, because you might be watching a film with complex characters, a protagonist with a mysterious past, surprising plot twist and good humor just to see it turn into a shallow "all men are evil! Female power!" type propaganda. It seamlessly switches between those 2 modes.
Too bad that writers sometimes get too hang up on their quest for social justice and forget it's enough to simply create a strong female character without making all men around her inept or evil (or both).
7/10 for being a mix of pretty great and rather shitty moments.
