So I saw the film yesterday. It was meh. Larson has no screen presence and lacks charisma. Honestly, the cat alien was more interesting part of the film. LOL.

Maybe a few feminist groups purchased tickets in groups.
The movie is only 1 hour and 45 minutes long, so
this increases a box office because there can be
multiple showings.
Unlike, other longer movies that bomb, they usually
bomb because they are also 2 1/2 hours long that
no one wants to sit through and movie theaters
can only sell less tickets due to to long running time.
Captain Marvel is a fun, popcorn enjoyable movie that has decent sci fi action. Its a family friendly
pic that large families can bring their kids along.
There didn't seem to me that much feminist ideologly. She does shoot lazers from her hands
but it seems like that is in line with the original comic book.

Feminist-SJW points:

+ everyone likes Carol Danvers (old SJW trope)
+ she is the bestest at everything - hand-to-hand combat, superpowers, flying everything, best of everything
+ everyone from her father, to her male friends, to her comrades in the military - everyone was telling her that she isn't gonna make it
+ her best friend is also a Mary Sue - ex-test-pilot single mother (at least that is true since she is black)
+ men are mostly bozos including Nick Fury who seems not to be the cool grim guy, but the chipper somewhat incompetent sidekick who gets his eye scratched out by a fucking cat!
+ white guys are evil (Kree), green monster-looking guys are the misunderstood terrorist people of color (Skrull) In the comics the Kree were blue-skinned and were more akin to ancient Rome - ruthless, but not necesserily genocidal evil. But of course SJWs don't like anything resembling the evil Whites, so the shapechanging Skrull are much more oppressed despite them being set out as absolutely evil from the comics.
+ In one scene I had to wince, because Captain Marvel was chased by this one Kree chick in her combat plane and the girl was super-hot. Captain Marvel of course won and killed her - just blew up prime HB9 pussy. It's a big odd to see your enemies go out like that - still odd to see super-hot women be blown up like nothing and have this piece of shit entitled feminazi be happy about it.
+ In the final battle Jude Law stupidly throws away his weapons and tells her to prove her worth by fighting mano-a-mano without "the lightshow". She just blasts him with her beam and tells him as the proud entitled woman that she does not have to prove to him anything.
+ In so many of the scenes Larson stands or struts around with a smug grin on her fucking face - it's insanely unlikeable.
+ Plus they retconned the MCU - she was supposed to be the "First Avenger" since she was the "Avenger" as a test pilot
+ In addition they claim that she is super-powerful, the strongest there is - by the way - the space scene looks fake and super-CGI like it came out of a cheap TV series. She just effortlessly blows away everyone which is another SJW-trope as their "heroes" have no real struggle.
+ Her power-levels are also strangely inconsistent - she does hand-to-hand combat with human-looking human-power-level beings, but then she can blow up entire spaceships with one hand tied behind her back. Plus - she can take a lot of damage easily. Essentially they do amalgamation of various powers on her which is also normal for SJW-marvel. When Rogue had her powers then she was just very strong, very durable to being bullet-proof and could fly. I remember reading about that in the comics back as a kid.

Yeah - no feminist propaganda at all for a clueless boomer or a certified shill it is.

Its a sci-fi movie and not real life. Do you think Supergirl is a feminist show? Do you think Superman or Batman have a political agenda? Its a comic book movie. I guess you can say Wonder Woman was more sexually appealling and feminine if your focus is on having a movie with a sexy female lead.
The ending was a little weird with the plethora of missles that she stopped. They've kinda built her up to be an unstoppable god-like force with all-powerful. From that standpoint she is similar to Superman (who I believed marvel copied Danvers in the mold of Supergirl) because they wanted a female superhero to compete with DC's Kara Danvers.
SuperGirl is an alien. Captain Marvel has alien abilities that have been transfered to her from the tesseract and energy stone. I don't think its very realistic for a human being to be transformed in that way from an energy source, but Spiderman was created by a spider bite and Hulk was created from gamma rays.
I didn't quite understand the Skrull storyline because I agree that I was under the impression that they were worse and not a benevelont people.
Seemed like the writers just wanted to have a surprise for the audience
rather than anything related to the past history.
I think Captain Marvel in the film is supposed to be a tough female and not a sexualized female. I guess you wanted or were expecting a sexual female for the movie, which I don't think is very realistic for a military pilot. Generally women in the military adopt very asexual and masculine personalities. I think the Carol character was supposed to be sarcastic and funny in her dialogue.
I don't understand how she survived Infinity War because if Thanos killed half the people in the Universe then he should have just killed Captain marvel with the snap knowing that she can defeat him. Or maybe the snap only killed half the people on planet earth?

Not really. The movie simply sucks, according to this review.

Quote:This review is late, a week late, but Captain Marvel still sucked. It doesn’t Ghostbusters-remake suck. Rather, it sucks like Doctor Strange and that second Thor movie. It just kind of lies there in a purple puddle of uninspired but busy CGI; artless and simple.

If Brie’s worried about this white, heterosexual male objectifying her, she needn’t....My loins would stir watching Gal Gadot kill my dog. Watching Brie Larson do anything is like watching your snooty sister gossip on the phone.

I don't understand why anybody with a shred of self respect would give this suckyness a dime. Please don't go see it and then come back and give us your review, guys. We really don't care that much.

Did you think Black Panther had a political agenda?
I was surprised it did that well at the box office and
it was marketed specifically to black churches who
went out and supported the film during its opening
weekend.
I actually though BP was a B+. It wasn't very realistic
to have some super technological city in the middle of
Africa when its pretty well known that Africa is a very
difficult climate to live in due to the heat and jungle.
The plot was okay but it was very un-woke in the sense
that the Michael Jordan character seemed more realistic
in pursuing Black Rights than BP. It was also a longish
movie that sort of dragged on.
But Captain Marvel isn't really based on anything in real
life either because she is part-alien infused blood in her
body and has super powers based on the tesseract.
While in theory a half-alien women could be a feminist,
its just not that transferable to any real-life political agenda.
Perhaps Wonder Woman was more feminist in the sense
that she is a human living on a Greek island. But she
is the duaghter of Zeus so there is some historical
backstory to that Greek Methology.

This guy talking is like a Huffpo shill or a clueless NPC.

"You did not like the movie because you hate women!"
"Supergirl was also a feminist movie, eh?"

There were countless female super-women leads and they were not feminist - Aliens, Lara Croft, heck - even Elektra, Supergirl, all those vampire chick movies etc.

The reason why this one is feminazi is simple:

+ you have multiple cut-scenes of flashbacks where the bitch is told that she cannot do this or that because of being a girl, then they have the other pilot saying that this is called "cock-pit" not for lack of reason
+ you have "just a girl" song playing while she is beating up mostly men - as subtle as a fucking sledgehammer unless you are a blind and deaf retard
+ you have the SJW tropes of no struggle, patriarchy, WHITE MAN BAD, GREEN/BLACK MAN GOOD etc.

Any clearer and you would have to have Captain Marvel do a SJW-lecture for 20 minutes for you to fucking get it. Also the stupid mano-a-mano thing and she blasting him and then saying that she does not have to prove anything to the patriarchy.

Fuck off with that.

As for Black Panther - it was propaganda not because of the Alt-Right-state of Wakanda. It was only due to a few points:

+ "You stole it all from us"
+ "colonizer!"
+ "White man not allowed to talk. We bark at you - wuff"
+ Our brothers would be architects and engineers in Cleveland, Baltimore and Memphis - only White man oppressing them, so we send them advanced weapons so they can hit back.

These were clear nods and that is why it's more of a propaganda movie vs Blade who everyone loved of all races. It did not even matter that he was the black hero - white, Asian or black men wanted to be Blade.

With Black Panther you have simply propaganda also constricting the plot, even changing potentially more logical writing/plot choices. Like - why send weapons to fucking clevaland to thugs, when Wakanda could just first conquer all of Africa, make it all into a continent of Super-Wakanda, then who knows - conquer the rest of the world if it felt like that. But that can't be you see, because that would be toppling of other black leaders and countries - not sticking it to Whitey. And then you would have to address the reason why black-led black-managed countries don't do so good. Nah - let's rather send guns to Cleveland, that is much better - and that is according to nitwits the "better choice of helping black people"?



And in most of these movies it's just a few scenes - if you took them out, then changed some plot points, then it would be a good story, but then you realize why those things happen.

Captain Marvel is not sexy in any way, does not have any romantic leads BECAUSE OF FEMINAZI PROPAGANDA. We know how they work!!!!!!! You don't.

That is why a Black Widow movie did not come - BECAUSE THE ACTRESS EXUDES SEX EVEN IF NOT TRYING TO BE SEXY! It wouldn't be feminazi enough.

And the most retarded part of it was that the black science chick ™ said that to an American CIA officer. If the movie were engaging in honest banter to get some laughs, the CIA guy would have snapped back "I ain't never colonized nobody" - heck it could have even been a humane and educational moment instead of pure propaganda.

Most but not all. Godzilla: KOTM will be largely devoid of identity politics even though one of the actresses bragged about the Bechdel test. If you want to support pure escapist entertainment, go see that when it comes out. It's going to movies with non-human leads to escape identity politics. Technically Alita would qualify as well because she's hardly all-human.

BTW, meanwhile in Captain America land:





Oh, and this may be off-topic but somewhat related, they're going to reintroduce ST:TNG male skirts into Star Trek Discovery.

< Good - I hope that gives the execs the idea to triple down on Social Justice, so that the normies even are amazed when they see all those wonderful asexual intersectional feminist heroes who beat down on the old heroes.

The SJWs love taking over established franchises and run them into the ground, because no one would want to watch their shitty heroes. The only way how they could even make this crap work is start it in an empty window, right before Endgame and latch it onto the biggest franchise.

Here the reviews of a liberal arts professor who is kneck-deep in feminazi-shit-land:

The MCU won't falter (as the Star War franchise did) overnight.
It may even take longer in comparison for Disney Soycialists to undermine the MCU.

Yet that is clearly their intent. Inject as much social politics as they can into the MCU franchise while it is still a success.

I sort of wish franchises just failed because over zealous money greedy executives like they used to instead of politics.

I remember when a trilogy was only given to films which were incredibly popular. There was a finality to it that way. Even then people got sick of it. Jesus I remember when Rocky was such a joke to many when it was on number 5, it was notable, like it wasn't believable to get that high in a numbered series, that you could stretch to something like that; however it looks positively innocent compared to now. What could be possibly said in Die Hard 5, that wasn't already said and said better in the first ?

But now we have 20+ film series and people love it. well at least they think they do, personally I want to watch something that makes me think everything pales in significance to it. Its actually the reason I watch very very little anymore, do I really need to see another cop series after The Wire? Or a epic sci fi saga/series after Battlestar Galactica? That's the dream of any time I watch a film/tv series and when it happens it might not scream it at you either for the first while, but slowly it dawns...

People don't give a damn about originality no matter how much they say they do, how many great stories could have been but never were, because they were sacrificed to this great comic book machine? Even the western making machine back in the 50's had more going on in the brain in a bog standard western! I not speaking of philosophy when I say that, I want something that is captivating on even just a base emotional level!

< There is a ton of excellent SF and even Fantasy books out there that could boggle the mind - especially written in the 1960s to 90s before the big marxist push purged the good authors, made it paramount to make certain propaganda points gospel or bust.

They could do massive fantastic franchises on those books - all having thoughtful and majestic stories that you never saw before. Instead you have some washed-up Aliens sequels or comic book movies. Sure - comic books are part of the Western mythos and akin to the old Greek and Roman sagas. They will never go away since they are ingrained in our cultural myth. The appeal of those characters is ancient - some like Thor or Odin are just warmed up Norse gods.

Star Wars also tapped into the ancient hero myths.

But what Disney now attempts to do is destroy it all, one step after another. They don't have to go full retard like with Star Wars. It takes one good superhero movie and they are back in business - let one good director/writer do things his way without the marxist push and they come back.

Currently they are going into the social justice crap and I hope that this "success" will emolden them to really go full retard.

It's as the professor above said it - the entire movie has no character arc - it's just a self-masturbating narcissist movie of showing you all how great she is.
She was great in the beginning and even greater in the end after having thrown off the shackles of the patriarchy - nice feminazi message.

I still can't believe her cameo in the Endgame trailer. Her single reaction is to glare at Thor as if he were scum. Pretty funny really, the moviemakers are actively pushing her bitchyness. I wonder if they're going to have fun with it or just show her as the feminist masturbation symbol: the cosmic dominatrix who all men kneel to as she abuses them.

Let me put it this way. I've got a dude that is a member of a club I am a member of (real life, not saying what type of club). This guy is borderline ANTIFA leftist and even he felt the feminism was very heavy handed.

I think something else is afoot, honestly. It's not just the social justice crap that's tanking these films but the fact that they're just plain shit. Like them or hate them, once the Lucas' and Spielbergs handed over the baton Hollywood struggled to produce anything that wasn't trash. I think that the fore-runners knew they had to nail it because Jewish dominance wasn't entrenched in the industry and on top of that America still had a strong culture which wasn't utterly demonised and as such had to be catered to.

The modern crop of directors are lazy as fuck. They've never faced any real competition financially or culturally so they're weak-minded and unskilled.

"Made a shit movie? Who fucking cares? Enough fat fucks will go see it anyway and it's not as if I'm going to be denied the director's chair for the next sequel anyway? Even if I am they'll put me on another 300 million dollar project. Fuck the markets and fuck the audience. I'll turn up drunk every day. It doesn't even matter."

Seriously. Avatar was anti-"colonial" (white) but that was still a fucking good movie. Compare that to Guardians of the Galaxy 2. That movie was just a fucking lazy continuation of the first. Shit writing. Shit directing. Just shit. And that's par for the course for the Marvel franchise now. Lazy, lazy, lazy writing and directing. By-the-numbers in every sense of the word.

And thank God for that too. I'd shudder to think what that kind of budget and asset list could achieve in the direction of social engineering if it were put in the hands of someone talented.

< The issue is that even if you are a genius screenwriter, then there are so many forces pulling at you and even influencing you that you write a shitty story.

The reasons are manifold -

+ social justice has utterly infiltrated academia, so you cannot look at literature and look at the story design, copy good points - no - it's all about racism, colonialism, represantation
+ as this ridiculously indoctrinated generation comes to Hollywood, then even the good ones spit out drivel because they have to incorporate those points - the anti-femininity of Captain Marvel, her lack of emotions, lack of sexual interest, - this is not by coincidence. Black Widow is feminine, is sad because she cannot have children, she loved a man - that is absolutely anti Third Wave Feminism. The same goes for characters like Alita and even Ripley because she cared for a child

Plus the elite have simply revved the speed - maybe because they think that they can still make money while dishing out shit.

In the past the propaganda was there as well, just very toned down in the 1980s, getting stronger in the 1990s and 2000s, and then unleashing like diarrhea from 2013 onwards. The new generation got their NPC update and they think that they will do fine.
