Is it weird I'm not that interested in this movie despite seeing all MCU movies at their respective premieres(except Antman & Wasp)?

I mean, I loved Infinity War and it's probably one of my favourite movies ever but I'm not really sure about this new film.

I've even considered to stop watching new MCU films after Infinity War Part 2 : /

A quick search on Google suggest her powers came from her DNA merging with a Kree? Can any comic guru explain why it was special in her case and why something as simple as this lead to her obtaining her powers and being so powerful?

^ Pretty much sums up how I feel

I was hoping they'd wrap everything up in Avengers 3, let the actors who wanted to leave leave and continue with the next phase while rebooting characters

Instead they released Ant Man 2, this is out in March followed by Avengers 4

Dont get me wrong, I enjoy going to the theater for the films, but now they're just milking it

In the comics it was the result of an accident involving a Kree superweapon that blew up, and the combination of her hybridized DNA and the explosion yadayadayada super powers that can't be replicated, etc etc.

The trailer also makes it look like they boosted her powers to their secondary level (which didn't happen in the comics for like 12 years), as part of their push to market her as THE MOST POWERFUL HERO EVARZ because ladyparts.

Why is the movie version so powerful? Ehh. From what we see a Kree blood transfusion is at least part of it, though it's hard to say what else they do to her. Though I still suspect there being some technobabble about how her having a hybrid of human and Kree DNA somehow made her more powerful than all of the other full Kree who get exposed to it, because half-breeds somehow being more than the sum of their parts is a pretty common trope in comics (it's why Namor basically had a mermaid mom and a sailor dad yet somehow came out stronger than any human or Atlantean AND able to fly because fuck it, comics).

Potentially not - both tanked kind of hard in the comics, and Marvel will bank off the surprise success of Black Panther for at least a few more films. That'll hold them off until they decide to push a solo Nick Fury flashback adventure or bring Luke Cage into the MCU. Or do a Blade reboot. If anything, we're just going to get Winter Soldier as new Cap the way it happened in the comics and the way they've wanted to almost from the first movie.

Odds are we'll never see Riri in the MCU, because she has the misfortune of being TWO minorities, which is usually one too many when it comes to trying to diversity cast a mainstream blockbuster (Black? Yes. Woman? Sure. Black woman? Nuh-uh, not a main character in MY movie!).

That same logic probably played a role in why we got Carol Danvers (ie, the worst Captain Marvel ever), as opposed to sassy black lady Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel (who is apparently relegated to supporting cast as a sort of easter egg in this movie) or magic space lesbian Captain Marvel. Carol's a female so that helps get people off their back for the whole "DC HAD A WONDER WOMAN MOVIE WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY MOVIES WITH FEMALE LEADS?!" deal, but she's also dishwater bland and white as the driven snow, so she's not going to alienate TOO many potential audience members.

Honestly, if Marvel ever gives us an MCU ethnic female lead at all any time soon, it's almost certainly going to be Ms. Marvel, because people actually LIKE her. But that might depend entirely on how this movie does. It's easier to spin Kamala off as separate movie if this one is huge, less so if this one tanks.



...though I still hope the mainstream press somehow pick up on the time that Carol had a time-baby raped into her, which then grew up to be the guy who raped her in the first place, and then the two of them went off to have consensual sex together and all the Avengers were totally cool with it until it turned out later that it was all mind-control and totally 112% rape the entire time. Because it would be funny to see how the usual gender politics types would react to that.

Then again, the whole "Hank Pym is a wife-beater who slapped Janet around" meme didn't really come out when Ant-Man was released, so I'm assuming Carol's dirty laundry will probably fly under the radar as well.

Which is ironic, because the dude's name was literally Mar-Vell.

It's like if army Captain John Smith died, and then his replacement started calling himself Captain Johnsmith.

Actually, on second thought, I'd probably read that.

Brie Larsons acting really continues to impress me. Not a lot of actors can portray the emotional range of a toaster.

Yeah but we've gone as far as having multiple Thors so it doesn't mean much anymore.

It's probably harder to name superheroes who haven't had at least three people use their name.

Maybe not for you, since I'm sure you know of a ton, but for like, normal people.

Oh and I love the MCU and don't enjoy saying this, but the movie looks like boring shitty Wonder Woman meets Green Lantern.

I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, but one thing being completely stupid doesn't really excuse other things being stupid.

Sure, we can get desensitized to the stupid and be more inclined to let future stupid slide, but we really shouldn't.

People being able to acquire the power of Thor is fine. The groundwork is there. But people literally walking around calling themselves Thor when they're NOT Thor is kind of stupid.
