Movie got a lot of unwarranted hate, it was fine. It wasn't FANTASTIC or anything, but it was fine.

[–] Son_of_dad 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Everything that stars a woman gets unwarranted hate. I heard the Fanboys going nuts and calling Echo "woke". I watched it all and I can't think of a single woke thing in it, aside from the main character being a native woman, which I guess is what's driving them crazy

[–] jordanlund 6 points 11 months ago

My only real beef with Echo was I JUST watched What If Season 2 that had it's own magical natives and I was like "Again? Didn't we just do this?"

[–] Omegamanthethird 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It straddled that line between fine and good. IMO

[–] jordanlund 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My only beef was I've seen physics done better in video games. Some of it was laughably bad. :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Something in particular you can point out? I feel a bunch of physics gripes are hand-waved away 'cause superheoes

[–] jordanlund 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Captain Marvel vs. the Space Ships here:

https://youtu.be/G6JeKBYPIs8#t=1m53s

There were others. Once clips become more widely available you'll see what I mean.

[–] Omegamanthethird 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see anything particularly bad, let alone laughably bad. It just looks like normal CGI space ship battles.

[–] jordanlund 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's when she stops the ship dead in mid air and flings it away. Physics does not work like that. /Morbo :)

[–] wildcardology 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How does the physics supposed to work In that scene? A flying super human with super human strength stopping a smallish ship mid air and flinging it?

[–] IMongoose 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ya, captain marvel flies into and then out of a star at the end of the movie. Her stopping something dead in its tracks is peanuts compared to that.

Edit, I actually watched the clip this time, she gets knocked back a little bit catching the ship. There is nothing silly here at all.

[–] jordanlund 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Stopping suddenly like that would have destroyed the ship, it would have crumpled around her.

Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years

[–] jordanlund 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

When Supes did that it took effort, the plane would still push him backwards. It wasn't an instant stop of momentum and flip.

[–] Omegamanthethird 3 points 11 months ago

I think you should watch it again. It pushes her back too.

[–] wildcardology 2 points 11 months ago

Makes sense. Thanks

[–] wildcardology 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Same physics should apply to Louis Lane falling from a helicopter and superman catching her from below right?

[–] jordanlund 2 points 11 months ago

You'd think, right?

I liked how Alan Moore dealt with it in Miracleman:

[–] MimicJar 6 points 11 months ago

Pacing was my biggest issue. Either make the film longer to give scene/characters time to breathe or cut even more subplots from the movie.

I do agree it was ultimately fine, but there was a better movie in there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I thought it was delightful. Captain Marvel felt kind of forced in for Endgame, and her stand alone movie was unfortunately a bit forgettable, but I really liked the fleshing out of her character in this movie.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I don't think Larson is a particularly good actor, certainly not good enough to carry a lead role, but even she suffered from some bizarre editing and writing choices in this one. The entire movie felt like a series of vaguely connected individual scenes. I mean, I get it, it's a superhero movie, no ones expecting Oscar worthy stuff but it's not a great look when the end credit scenes are more interesting than the actual movie.

[–] Wutangforemer 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

She has an Oscar for Best Actress in a lead role.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think that carries the weight you think it does.

[–] madcaesar 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Can she play anything other than heavy sarcasm response character?

[–] tkhobbes 9 points 11 months ago

I don't understand all the "it's a bad movie" hate at all (apart deom the obvious haters)... i thought it was fun and certainly better than some of the movies that came before.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I saw this movie on opening weekend. It's certainly not a "bad" movie. I don't regret watching it, but I kinda regret spending money on it.

The movie felt like Batman 1966, but with Marvel characters. I was almost expecting to see "BAM!", "POW!", and "WHIFF!" show up on screen. The reason I decided to see it in theaters was to form my own opinion, but if I had known it would be so campy, I wouldn't have been in a great rush to see it. Not that I didn't enjoy it - in fact, I loved it!

Maybe if it was marketed as "A Disney+ Original Movie", people wouldn't be so harsh on it.

Anyway, "The Marvels" isn't that good of a superhero movie, but I think people are being too harsh on it. It's not the worst of the worst, it's just campy and mediocre.

[–] leave_it_blank 2 points 11 months ago

I went to the cinema this evening to see it since I missed the original release. And it was very entertaining, I laughed quite a lot. Good jokes, good action, great team!

I don't get the hate at all... I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen!
