I've heard the claims of wooden acting of Larson, which makes me wonder just how much the localised dub can falsifies performances, because I felt Carol emoted pretty well? I don't know if fellow posters from non-english speaking countries ever experienced a similar disconnect?

She was doing the Chuck Yeager thing. Which makes sense cause Carol was a fighter pilot. They all do the Chuck Yeager thing. He's their spiritual liege.

I also like how a modified Quin Jet prototype was able to succeffully compete with a small Kree strike craft. Admittedly with a good pilot at the stick who, I suspect new the terrain she was flying.

A thing that confused me during the movie was how did Mar-vel get the tessarect. I remembered Howard stark recovering and assumed he gave it to the military (and later shield). I can guess the military gave it to her?

I wonder if her callsign was Avenger because she seems to be the rare positive example of a character mostly powered by bloody-minded spite :V

There's a link to an interview somewhere upthread with one of Carol's most prominent writers from the comics where she says that while Captain America will keep getting back up when knocked down because it's the right thing to do, Carol will keep getting back up to fight because "Fuck you." :D

That seems to be the assumption. Presumably the reason she came to Earth in the first place is because the Tesseract was there.
 
I really hope we get just a bunch of cosmic Marvel stuff with her in the time between this movie and Endgame

I'd love it if the next Carol movie had a lot of flashbacks to prior adventures.

Oh, and the kid Skrull all grown up!


I do not want the movie to be set in the past because I want grown-up Monica, but all sorts of flashbacks, yes ^^

Its frankly a garbage definition. Women are dismissed for displaying any emotion or for even potentially showing emotion. It's used to dismiss them as irrational, unprofessional, fragile, out of control or compromised.

Article:
In a landmark 2001 report on sexism in the courtroom, Deborah Rhode, a Stanford Law professor, wrote that women in the courtroom face what she described as a "double standard and a double bind." Women, she wrote, must avoid being seen as "too 'soft' or too 'strident,' too 'aggressive' or 'not aggressive enough.' "


There's a great story in there about how a female lawyer had a motion filed against her before a trial, asking her not to cry but couldn't get angry about it because that would "prove" shes too emotional. This is just from one field but its fucking everywhere. Women are too emotional to be in the military, police, business, etc.

The movie isn't subtle about it.



Potential theory.

Glad to see that Spider-Verse reference getting mileage :D


Oh and some Charting with Dan:

I'm only halfway through but so far we've had:
Did Captain Marvel have a big second weekend dropoff? No it's pretty typical (tenth smallest for the MCU)
Did Captain Marvel have a big Monday dropoff? No it's pretty typical (tenth largest for the MCU)
Was opening in so many markets on the same day some unprecedented move and an evil strategy to make it seem like a bigger hit? No, other MCU movies did that, other top opening movies have done it, other Disney films have tried this and flopped (Solo), and it's not really up to Disney to organise simultaneous opens in the USA and China anyway.

Dan didn't actually like the movie but he's here for numbers and facts.

Also, did Disney buy tickets to fill seats themselves to pad numbers? No, that would be stupid and defeat the entire purpose of trying to make money.

Are the people who made and buy into these theories asshole misogynists? The video doesn't cover but the answer is a solid 'yes'.

What's particularly interesting in the context of the MCU is that the premise of Nextwave was that they used to work for an obvious parody of S.H.I.E.L.D. that turned out to be secretly controlled by the bad guys, so they turned against them. In the MCU, actual S.H.I.E.L.D. turned out to be secretly controlled by the bad guys, so the premise actually makes perfect sense.

What made me puzzled was that Lawson/Mar-Vell could take the Tesseract, which was presumably categorized under "highly mysterious and super important" for SHIELD and the military, and bring it to her lab off-planet. Was nobody requiring updates on the status of the thing at regular intervals, just to make sure that it wasn't stolen or something?
