- Well, it looks as if the MCU has out done itself, like this ended up being double the length of the normal rant breakdowns but there is so much to lay out, hope you enjoy it folks ;) /

The rudimentary research into space travel at light speed, amounts of solar systems and planets and all that is totally something I recommend people look into to get more accurate numbers, I just did a few google searches with Fringy and checked a couple of websites. It seems I might have underestimated the distances and made a few mistakes that makes it all seem smaller than it is but that would only make the overall point more relevant;
Light speed just aint gonna cut it, not by a long shot when it comes to travelling between galaxies.
No one ever really travels at light speed.
1:10:32 Damn you REALLY need to take an astronomy class. The galaxy has billions of star systems, not 500. AND our solar system is 8 light hours, not 2.5 light years.
edit: I consider this a personal attack
I love you
Phenomenal work
You can't tell that light speed traveler how fast they can go. Don't you try to keep them down. A woman's light speed is much faster than a man's light speed anyway.
She's an Ace pilot and managed to crash every ship we see her in.
She's an Ace fuck up
It’s because she’s a........ woman
Is she Joseph Joestar? Or a crappy clone of him?
You know that’s why they call it a ‘cockpit’
Christ, she's worse than Joseph Joestar! At least he had the excuse of being constantly chased by Nazis, hired assassins and Aztec Fitness Gods!
STOP COMPARING HER TO A PLANK!!!!! GROOT IS A TREE AND HAS INFINITELY MORE CHARACTER!!!!!
Yes, but a tree is NOT a plank. Plank is just a tiny, lifeless subset of what a great living tree once was.
KLR-Zoomie even Plank from ed edd and eddy would be insulted lol. He had more charisma and stage presence
That moment when a literal plank of wood with a drawn on face had more story, life, and character than a multi-million dollar movie protagonist.
@@benjaminlyons5261 You beat me to it. LOL
Yeah but planks are dead inside, just like her acting.
I love how a big part of the story is that shes "too emotional" and she "needs to control her emotions." But she puts almost zero emotions into the role.
ikr
Yep, only covers the monotone part of her personality. Whereas the animated CM in the 2010s, she's a badass in the battlefield and the fun big sister when she's Carol Danvers.
I have very little control over my emotions. It is something I have struggled over my whole life. Negative emotions like anger and jealousy affect me the most.
This is not what being "too emotional" looks like. Like, when she was a kid in the kart racing accident, she should have been fuming or bawling or ANYTHING besides having a blank face.
During the scene where she was sparing with the other guy in the beginning of the movie, she should have been defeated despite her powers because her judgement was clouded by how emotional she was. Maybe she accidentally hits someone or breaks something in a fit of rage at being worse than the other guy.
I can't sense any emotions in this character, especially not any that are "too emotional" to the point of hampering her.
She has trained her whole life lol.
Because it's a metaphor for women being hormonal and it being a great thing.
Mauler's problem here is, not only does HE remember prior films in the series, and even prior scenes in this film, he expects the writers of this film to do so also.
Yeah doesn't he know from all the marvel sheep is consume content and don't ask questions. That's why we love marvel because they dont care about the project or their audience. It's cool
@@bananaboi9067
Sure.
Whatever.
Except that marvel fans are some of the harshest critics of the MCU.
Are there diehards that will just be happy with anything that they get?
Sure.
By and large, though, they are not happy and they are letting the MCU overlords know it.
@@daverobson3084 wtf is the MCA? jokes aside, you're coping hard. Marvel fans are some of the least thinking sheep of any fandom in the world. Why do you think marvel movies still make money? The fans.
I mean typical toxic Marvel manchildren complaining about everything. 😂
Man you had us in the first half...ngl
Friend: Should I watch Captain Marvel?
Me: No. Watch this critique of it instead. It's almost as long, and way better.
It's also free.
Plus, as a bonus MauLer, has more emotion throughout the whole thing
That is exactly what I did, watched this, now I know I can use 2 hours of my life to do something else instead of watching the movie
@@flyufoolz Frustration, confusion, anger, happiness, sarcasm. MauLer displayed more emotions with his voice exclusively that Larson did not display with her entire being.
This was basically the only way I was ever going to see this film.
Getting up after falling down isn't special in the MCU. The character who did that best is Capt.America.
"I can do this all day"
Yep. And, more to the point, he did it even when he knew he wasn't going to win because it was the right thing to do. That's a hero.
And Into The Spiderverse also did it far better.
"Our family doesn't run from things, Miles."
@@finrodbrs
If one compares Captain Marvel to Captain America, it's like comparing Saitama to Mumen Rider in One Punch Man; one is powerful to the point of being impossible to get any drama out of, while the other faces impossible odds and keeps getting back up even when knowing that he can't win. Except unlike One Punch Man, the Captain Marvel movie lacks the self-awareness to emulate this.
@@joshuakim5240 That is so clever that you deserve a million bucks for saying that!
@@joshuakim5240 Saitama never backed up either. That is why he got beat up at first. Its just that the opponents just can't keep up. He even mentioned that on both seasons of the anime. First time was to Genos, the 2nd time was to Blizzard.
Just watched this again at random. Here's a fun thought. I'm a former Marine Corps aircrewman and I work for a USAF fighter squadron as a civilian now. I start with this to establishment my credentials on the subject of call signs. I hear my call sign more than my name on any given day of the week.
So here's the skivvy. If you have a bad ass call sign like "AVENGER"... your squadron is taking the piss out of you. Like, I met a guy with the call sign "HAMMER" once upon a time. As in "Dumb as a box of". Heard of another guy, Tomcat driver this time, with the call sign KILLER. Guess what he did? Friendly fire accident. Don't have the details on that one, but I assume no one died or he'd not have continued to fly, but his squadron, and every squadron he was with till he got out? Made sure he never forgot that fuck up.
So. As a fun shower thought exercise for the day dear reader, what stupid thing did Plank do to earn the call sign "AVENGER"?
@Wekilaa Himoninternet Against the bullies who hurt her feelings
Avenged herself when a teammate gave her some advice or criticism IN THE MILITARY
She's so dense that she doesn't realize it's not a good thing.
@@wekilaahimoninternet7849 or she didnt avenge, which is why she gets called avenger to remind her everyday that she should have avenged something.
She told everyone she would be a great Captain Marvel.
Killed it with the "you go girl". Three words summing up an entire film lmao
“Wha-what are you…?” “Me?…im a Woman 😎”
Because that is how CM acts , an immature girl and not a responsible woman.
Stan Lee’s intro should have been in avengers endgame.
Yup, you know, the BIG MOVIE of the season. They fucking blew it on this.
If there was a petition for it, I would sign
ᛈᛖᛏᛖᚱ ᚷᚱᛖᛖᚾ i would also sign, it wouldn’t be too late for a petition for the digital and blue ray release to have it. I just hate the logic of why they decided to use the intro with captain marvel instead, a movie a lot of people hated and didn’t want to see.
It is the *first* Marvel movie after Stan's death. It is best to remember him as soon as they have the opportunity. Following this logic, his intro can be in any big movie by Marvel, not just Endgame. There will be bigger movies.
Movie is kind of good if you forget there's Brie Larson in it. C'mon, young Samuel Jackson!
it fucking should have
[ ] Sit through 2 hours of Captain Marvel
[X] Watch a 2 hour breakdown of why Captain Plank isn’t a good movie
I refer to "Plank" as Capt. Menstruation #CaptMenstruationSucks
I love the college grade debate point though, "you need to watch it yourself to judge though". No. It's cute, and works in theological debates, but i'm sure as hell i don't want to get bitten by a shark, because i'm informed enough to know it's bad, before hand. I'm not going to put myself in a sharks mouth, just to make an armchair theologian feel warm and happy. I'm not giving these guys a dime to watch it. I'm so confident in my decision, i won't even watch it when this flop gets HD rips on the stream sites. (notice how good films take ages to come out in decent quality, but the flops are there in HD from the get go.) I won't watch it for free, i won't watch it if they offer me a free ipad or some other bribe. The film from the get go is toxic, and i'm not going to spend money to go see it, to satisfy somebody, that ultimately, still won't respect my opinion, but ultimately MCU will see a sale, and think "nope, we still made bank, we did ok". All this movie has done, is make me panic that if Brie Larson is really, "carrying the torch" now, Endgame might not hit the potential it could have, say, in an extended universe without Brie Larson. Remember guys, celebrity is a platform, where she's responsible for pushing her agenda. God i loved Jeremy Renner's response to that.
i had to do both because i just saw this video. :-(

My son made me go. If I had Capt Plank in my head, I could've enjoyed it.
She is absolutely not a realistic and relatable strong female character for several reasons.
1. During her derby race as a kid, she really did need to slow down on the turns. But because she was immature, she ended up nearly break in her neck from bad judgement. Her dad, who not only let her race but also most likely helped her practice, yelled at her for good reason. "You don't belong out there!" Translation: "If you are going to be reckless, you don't need to be doing this."
2. The group of men mocking her on the obstacle course are heckling her to motivate her. Has no one seen a military movie before? Has no one hung out with a group of men before? EVERYBODY gets heckled and mocked in training, because it's character building. Tough Love. If she was so immature and self-victimizing to realize that she was not the only person being verbally harrassed, she doesn't belong in the military.
3. The message of her being "too emotional" is a jab at women being more empathetic and verbally high context. She is not emotional! She is overly sensitive and incapable of taking criticism. That's not emotionality!
4. I have had far more criticism and bullying from other women growing up. I could count on one hand how many times I was bullied by a man on one hand. Half of them were just off color jokes that went too far, and the others was one particular boy who was obnoxious.
5. She is sooooo arrogant! I cringe internally and externally any time she makes an executive decision. Legitimately, if she were a man acting that way, that character would still be a massive jerk. My best example isn't from this movie but in End Game when she tells Rocket from Gaurdians od the Galaxy, "Earth isn't the only planet that needs help." Oh, really, Cpt Meh-vel? You're going to to tell the person who has literally been traveling the universe helping different planets, too? This is why mansplaining ia not a thing.
You did a fantastic job breaking down everything wrong with Cpt. Marvel.
Awesome comment!
Your points 1 and 2 are actually points on which they could have done legitimate subversion. Have her slowly come to realize that those things weren't people telling her to quit, but teaching her what the price of persistence would be. Have her begin to remember the full context of those broken memories--and how she only remembers the hurts she felt, not the things that came right before and after.
And instead of "Just a Girl" playing in the background of her triumphant and unstoppable rampage, every time she falters, she hears an echo of someone encouraging her, someone supporting her, and THEN she gets her second wind. She's no longer afraid of failure; she becomes the hero everyone knew she could be, and she was the only one who ever doubted.
Every other Avenger basically becomes who they are because someone believed in them and helped them--Yinsen for Tony, Odin for Thor, Betsy for Bruce, Erskine for Steve, Clint for Natasha. If anything, needing the support of others makes her MORE of an Avenger.
Omg you just womansplained us. ;) lol All your points, are... on point. Lol
@@bitchpudding8104 you took the spot or a more competent male pilot so you could fill a diversity role. Of course men belittle you. Because they fucking know you are a liability.
So now Secret War has happened, the Kree have been proved completely right. The Skrull aren't refugees fleeing persecution there are millions of them and they do seek to infiltrate planets and take them over. They've managed to turn this movie completely on it's head. Who knows if the Skrull were telling the truth about not being able to find another world. For all we know Captain Marvel has allowed the Skrull to infiltrate thousands of worlds and now they've returned to take the earth too.
Boy: Hey dont go so fast around the turns.
Girl: Oh yeah? Watch this sexist pig.
Girl: *Brutally crashes because didn't listen to friendly advice.*
How it Should Have Ended: Captain Marvel
Girl: You made me crash by distracting me with patriarchal advice, white man!
I mean this is literally a girl who becomes absolutely crazy anytime a boy talks to her wether it's an advice, compliment, criticism or insult... and somehow she thought it was a good idea to enroll in the military where everyone is shouted at ? She doesn't seems like someone you'd want to work with in a life or death situation lol
It should be said by a girl.
I hate females... Girls and womem ruin civilization and family
"Or is there a random Skrull just backpacking around Europe just living a new life?" ...Can we watch that movie instead?
My Life Skrull.
No joke, that sounds like a legit better movie than...this.
It could have been a story depicting the conflict between the Kree, the Skrull, and a young Nick Fury thrown in between, forced to figure out just what his place is among these alien factions, having to come to terms with realizing that humanity isn't the masters of the universe but more like an ignored puppy on a backwater planet.
The Kree were superadvanced, their motivations were intentionally kept shallow, but their motivations were what started this entire mess in the first place. Their motivation is effectively the one thing that can be considered the true antagonist (not the figurehead antagonist that needed to be propped up against the cardboard protagonist), but we barely get anything to understand it. They didn't want us to understand the story or appreciate the foundations - they just slapped together a foundation and assumed that because the mainline story was already accepted, whether it made sense or had any depth didn't matter.
The Kree/Skrull conflict was used as a framing device for the protagonist, but somehow even when it is neglected, it is more interesting than the protagonist. The director or writer was apparently so obsessed with making the movie revolve around the lead actress that they never considered what a prequel movie could have actually done for the big picture. If they had any consideration for making it an interesting story, they could have at least put her through an actual arc, or else use her a framing character to make the Kree/Skrull conflict or the other lead characters more prominent.
But in tried and true fashion, this wasn't about the big picture or about the team, just about the leading lady.

I just discovered this guy, and he is hilarious! My favorite line was "This has been nail-biting". I love that he doesn't act outraged like a lot of other content creators. He just oozes disdain for bad movies and points out their flaws with unforgiving common sense.
Yep welcome to the party I've been here since Mauler articulated my disdain for The Last Jedi.
I found him after rags referred him on his last jedi rebuttal. Wish they both made more
My question is, if Plank was that much powerful, she had very neat chances to hold gauntlet and snap in Endgame. Why she didn't take that responsibility and let superpowerless Tony die?
cuz one less toxic manbaby amiright
....no? niet? oh. oh, how embarrassing for me. sorry, wrong channel.
bc his contract ended not hers xD
I still find it hilarious that Captain Marvel got a movie before Black Widow, even though Black Widow has been in this franchise for years

@@AAllen-br8it wait what
“Plank is slow retrieving her memories as well as her personality” paired with the visual air quotes has broken my brain. I laughed out loud for a solid minute. 👏
It was actually hilarious. I do enjoy his videos.
I wish I could understand the writers of these movies. They're so uncreative.
'The protagonist is a girl, so we must center the story around her being a girl'.
'The protagonist is black, so we must tell a story about racism, colonialism and prejudice'.
'The protagonist is Asian, so we must tell a mythical story with lots of martial arts and zen BS'.
I mean, isn't it a bad message placing these characters exclusively in this kind of story? As if they didn't have any other stories to tell? Such a terrible concept.
The irony is they create their own racism the reason why white characters have been more interesting in the MCU and it's not the racism of the fandom it's the racism of the marvel team. Like you said when they write for a girl character it must be about her being a girl or a black character being about the black experience. I remember when Falcon and the Winter Soldier came out Falcon's entire personality changed from a practical soldier and friend with a sense of humor and honored to take Cap's shield in Endgame to a jaded black guy who saw the shield as a symbol of American racism as soon as the series started. Then he can't get a loan from the bank because banks are supposedly racist in real life, even though in-universe it makes no sense since he's a celebrity superhero who does government contract work that pays in the mid-6 figures. That's like telling me Lebron James can't get a loan because of racism what bank would be stupid enough to Incur that kind of negative publicity. They always end up writing women and minorities down to their immutable characteristics which makes them one-dimensional and often the character's on-screen life circumstances are incongruous with the average person in that demographic so often the allegory is lazy and contrived like Falcon's bank issues he is not an average black man, therefore, he will not have an average black man experience. Meanwhile Straight White characters actually have to be a character with motivations flaws and desires because the writers don't have immutable characteristics to fall back on as a shield against criticism do they actually have to put in the work to make the character interesting. There whole lack of good diversity accepted by the Fandom is a self-made problem and then they victim blame the fans for not eating up the vomit they spew onto us.
🧢 the execution of Black Panther’s story was godly and Sheng Chi was pretty solid and different from other marvel movies
they are projecting their own racism onto others
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx The first and second statements actually combined in a pretty good fantasy movie set in a world called The Earth, on a continent called Africa, where a country that was THE LARGEST slave seller was located and they made the movie about how Europeans are racist and how europeans kidnap africans from their homes and turn them into slaves etc. It's called The Woman King and the actual history of the kingdom has terrifying implications for our assumptions nowadays.
By focusing on the thing that makes them different from the white male they create racism and sexism. Because they keep reducing the characters to that single trait. When you watch a movie or play a game or do dishes or do laundry or bring out the trash or bring your kids to bed nobody cares about your genitals or skin color. It doesn't define people. Yes it's part of their identity, but not the only part.
My favorite part of this movie was when I was daydreaming about watching a different, better movie instead.
I didn’t know wether it was worth the effort to be angry at the film for what it changes like it’s as bad a Luke’s character changes in tlj
@Rags Was it Pulp Fiction?
At least you were just daydreaming, I fell asleep for real, then had to wake up in a theater watching captain marvel it was awful.
Nice captain marvel review rag''s
Hey it's rag from the Mauler Cinematic Universe.
excuse me, but as an Ed Edd and Eddy fan, calling this woman "Plank" is grossly offensive, Plank has much more charisma and screen presence than this board does.

Thank you for upholding Planks honor
Finally somebody had the balls to say it. You are the commenter we need, not the one we deserve. Thank you.
are u joking ?
Extremly easy fix for the whole power limiter thing: Instead of telling plank that the patch gives her her powers the kree could have just told her that her power is in fact her own, that she is a mutant or something along these lines and that this patch is in fact a power limiter. But they gave her that power limiter because the power she got is far too great for her body to bear with it and without the limiter her own power would destroy her and everything else within a hundred kilometers radius. This would make for a far more believable story, paint the kree in a benevolent light, explain why noboy else has this power, leverage planks own professed goodness against her taking the patch off and the kree could even use the excuse of trying to help plank control and/or extract her power to experiment on her with her consent!
I have to point out that while Carol was away for 25 years, she was traveling at light speed, which means for her the travel was instantaneous. That’s why she hasn’t aged and reacts like she just saw Fury yesterday. Because for her she probably made the journey in an instant, helped the Skrull set up for a few months, headed back at light speed, and got Fury’s message on the way.
I know I know it’s contrived, but this bit of science actually does work.
That's true, assuming she spent 95% of that time traveling. We don't know that's the case, or how fast she can really go.
The thing is, light speed is not instantaneous. Her power accident making her super long lived is totally fine for me. No need to doctor anything around there.
The nearest star to us is called Proxima Centauri and lies roughly 4.25 light years away. So if she went there, did some quick business and came right back, at the speed of light, it would take her 8.5 years.
She's like the reverse Tony Stark. In Iron Man, Tony starts off as a snarky, sarcastic and egotistical guy who becomes humbled and heroic when he undergoes a life changing event and gets his power. Carol Danvers starts off as a passive, down to earth girl who becomes really cocky and arrogant once she gets her powers.
Stark does not "get" "his power"
He builds a conbat suit thats ahead of its time. He builds a powersourcs, in a cave, to power it. Stark did not get shit handed to him. He build it. He build it and almost died from it. He learned lessons in Iron man 2 and 3. he grew.
cpn plank did nothing. she just ran from setpiece to setpiece. . .
@@trazyntheinfinite9895 Maybe "get his power" wasn't the best combination of words to use, but you still get my point. From the start of the movie to the end, Tony Stark's characterization progresses while Carol Danvers' characterization regresses.
Danvers was never passive, even in the flashbacks. She went from cocky and arrogant ordinary human to cocky and arrogant human with Superman powers. Whereas in "Iron Man", Stark went from snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy to slightly less snarky, sarcastic, egotistical guy with a super suit. It wasn't until "Infinity War" that that "snarky, sarcastic, egotistical" was finally decimated out of him.
Like every woman in real life.

Fun fact: the Gatling gun was originally intend to end wars. RIchard Gattling thought that if people realised how powerful his gun was that they would stop fighting out of fear. Also to get less people dying because when he did field medic things or something he noticied how there were less people dying of bullet wounds than of diseases so he thought that if there were less people shooting at each other (because the Gatling gun could fire lots more bullets with less people) that less people would die.
He was mostly right though.

I'll still never understand why characters like Captain Marvel get movies. The character that has become more or less a meme at this point at the amount of comics of hers cancelled and relauched due to consistent low sales yet despite that Marvel can call her one of their most ''popular'' characters.
I wonder if it's a half-truth, like "most popular" means selling the most comics or something, and Captain Marvel sells tons of comics because she makes dozens of runs that sell a bit, as opposed to fewer-but-longer-running series for other famous characters.
They're trying (and failing) to create their own Wonder Woman. They don't understand that while Wonder Woman is a badass she doesn't *act* like a cocky badass. Wonder Woman is nice, friendly and outgoing so people like her.
I recently watched the entirety of the show just for old time's sake. Not only did plank have some solid screen presence, but also legitimate characterization.
Plank has been shown to be caring, loyal, protective, scheming, moderately aggressive, opportunistic to the occasional treachery, and quite possibly actually sentient. Literally a cartoon block of wood in 2000s children's entertainment media that was created from a dare has more character than this lady.
"Unfortunately the film begins after that."
*SUBSCRIBED*
Exactly! Ditto.
Couldn't do it twice without redundancy... *Sigh*
His Star Wars videos are fucking art and perfect
Plank from Ed Edd & Eddy had more character then this wooden 2×4 wannabe
That's cause he was best character(next to Rolf and Marie)
He had a better backstory too. Plank lore > Captain Mediocre lore.
Plank and his best friend Derick
Argh! Stump from the angry beavers is a better actor than Brie Larson
I know this is a joke but dammit is it sooo true lol XD
It was at this moment 41:02 that Mauler finally used Youngledor in a way that made it sound like it was the real characters name. He was irritated at Plank. It sounded so smooth.
he thinks of Jude Law as his Harry Potter performance. I think of his roles in Gattaca, AI and Sherlock Homes. And in the last one he starred with Robert Downey Jr. Which could've been a fun reference if his Kree character and Tony Stark run into each other.
I find it quite funny how in the 80’s we had a better female protagonist in the alien series (ripley) who had flaws but was still a strong female character and 40 years later when women rights is a major deal now, they put less effort into making good female characters. Just bc a woman needs help in a situation doesn’t mean that they are looking down on her or making it a “damsel in distress” trope, tony stark needs help numerous times throughout his movies as well as the avengers movies, same wth Thor, captain America, etc. Idk why it’s such a major thing to have a moment of weakness in a female character when it’s clear they have no issue doing it for the male characters of the franchise. Imo it’s actually more sexist to do it like that and act like this is ok. Disney as well as Hollywood as a whole needs to get this through their heads tht watching perfect characters be good at everything isn’t entertaining, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman, I just want to watch an entertaining marvel movie wth good comedy, solid action, relatable heroes and ridiculous villain plots.
Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men.
The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles.
"Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?"
"We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country."
Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country.
Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010.
"It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."

woulda been funny if Plank said she was bored at some point
The only positive about this character is that people hated her so much that Thanos managed to punch her completely out of Endgame
Yeah, people use that scene as a counter that she's not powerful enough to beat Thanos but that only happened so that they could have Tony's scene. If this movie had somehow done really well and people wanted her to be the one to beat Thanos the writer probably would have had her catch the punch and blast him in the face.
RhysTheT00n he had one stone though, there’s no way she could beat him with all stones if she gets clapped with one
@@koryh2114 Him having all stones means nothing at that point since it's not about skill or strength when he can literally just will you out of existence with 0 effort. You missed the point of my comment, I said the only reason the had her get knocked out by the power stone was because they knew it would ruin 20 movies of character development if they had the newcomer kill Thanos with no buildup or personal investment. If they wanted it to happen, it wouldn't be inconsistent with her character traits if she caught Thanos' punch and used the power stone to blast him in the face.
This is why besides needing a massive nerf, my main problem with CM is that they should have introduced her in the next MCU phase so she would have had a lot of time to be developed and set up rather than jumping in at the last second into the Season finale of the MCU.

The Skrulls are the most D-tier race in the whole MCU. They're just Green Goblins. Very creative.
Let me just 🤓 for a sec
In the comics, they’re fucking terrifying. The ability to replicate any metahuman on sight. Super Skrulls have the ability to mimic super human abilities on sight. They’re known as planet conquering creatures that tear up societies by infiltrating them as perfect replicas and essentially fucking with them to extinction.

Above all else I appreciate these guys like mauler breaking things down and articulating things in a way I can't as I don't posses the knowledge or wisdom. However even with my limited knowledge I'm not a plank of wood or a sheep and when I watch a movie I know it's bad. Such as captain marvels defence people don't like it because she's a female isn't accurate and now I can share well articulated arguments/explanations why the movie was awful. Same as black panther and it's racism defence. I didn't like it because it wasn't a bunch of white people running around I simply didn't like it because it make no freaking sense at all. The plot was stupid, the half advanced culture half primative thing was odd. Choosing their leader based on who hits harder while being the most technologically advanced civilization and using spears...... Yeah I seriously thank these guys for spreading awareness that marvel can't keep using lazy writing and hiding behind woke propaganda. People know everything that's wrong with the movies now you can't flash shiny CGI fights at everyone.
Id iot s part with their money.
It could have worked if the story/script acknowledged her flaws. They could have even suggested some social disorder caused by childhood trauma or something. She's like an antisocial narcissist who happens to want to save the world just to prove her own strength to everyone. Would be much more interesting than pretending she's perfect
Hell, The LEGO Batman Movie played with this concept by having the protagonist be a sociopathic loner obsessed with his identity as Batman rather than Bruce Wayne.
And it while it was played for laughs, it wound up making him a relatable character who you rooted for.
But nooooooo, we had to get writers who think people are just born perfect and are grown in a vat.
That is actually a great character flaw and plot point. her obsession with proving her self leads to arrogance and her not acknowledging that you have to fail to be able to succeed. The whole idea of her being able to stand back up and continue, which seems to be a big theme of the movie, could've been explored. Because after you get back up, you try again. And you do better.

Carol’s relationship with Jude Law (don’t remember his character’s name at all) should’ve been given more development and focus. From what I remember, he was like a mentor to her. Why was he so significant (according to the movie) to her, evil or not? Why did he take her to his planet when she got her powers? What did she mean to him? Why keep her alive? Why did he give her HIS blood?
Are they just mentor and student or friends? Why was her blast in the desert such a “comeback” when he demanded she fight fairly? To the point where she felt the need to say she has nothing to prove to him. He clearly meant something to her at SOME point because otherwise that line feels meaningless.
Nebula has a bigger character arc than a character who got their own film. Boo for Plank.
I think the lack of character development was a decision made when they realised that Brie Larson can't actually act
@@JoshTW030 have you seen Don Jon? I'm not saying there was a character for her to act in that movie, but shes just scrolling through all her screen time

The movie gets worse when you realize at the end Shield had everything they needed to make Captain Marvel super humans for over a decade.
They had the light speed engine blueprints, the funding to rebuild the engine to make the space goo, the cube and literal armies of potential heroes to sort out and find the right people.
That makes the Captain America super soldier serum worthless.
F$&@ this movie!!
Plus, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D showed that they have plenty of Kree blood if they need it for the process.
How this is not the top comment I will never know.. oh hang on it’s a Marvel film
It's almost like this is written by a fan fiction writer who had almost no understanding of the franchise they were creating this for and just wanted to ret-con and add their super-awesome characters willy-nilly without actually considering the world they're entering into and how this affects everything. It reminds me of a film that was released in 2015 and a sequel in 2017, but I can't quite put my finger on which movies those are.
Captain America’s serum from the 30’s?
@Christopher Marlowe Funny story; I started watching Agents of SHIELD when the show was new; the first episode I saw was episode 3. My thoughts on it were, "This is okay, though the dialogue is overly-quippy. This show could become something really good." That was probably its best episode in retrospect. I gave up after season 3.
Also that season 1 episode was the one that had Graviton. I waited for all of season 1 for him to come back. I was thinking, "He has to escape that gravity goo and become Graviton; if he doesn't get out soon, they'll have to explain how he survived for all that time. And if they forget about him, I'll be disappointed." I was disappointed.
My main take away from this is that Coulson is a cheeky bastard and got bored after 20 years and decided to screw with Tony and Pepper for a few years by saying the whole thing 🤣

True Lies is a damn masterpiece
True Lies know what it is and plays with it. It's a great movie that deconstructs, but also emphasises action hero and spy thriller tropes. It can be funny, it can be serious, and uses both at appropriate times.
funny how everyone in the movies criticism of her is "she's too emotional" when she always only ever shows the same emotional range of a plank of wood.
She has 2 emotions, getting offended and PLANK.
I honestly think it was intentional. A historical Trope is that women have always been told that they are emotional, subject to hysteria, etc... so the point in the movie is that she is still told that, even though she displays absolutely no emotional range.
So yeah, I think it was intended; just wish they handled it differently
@@Briaaanz wouldn't give the writers that much credit tbh
Apparently being overly sensitive, arrogant, and incapable of taking criticism is translated at emotional instead of just immaturity. Instead of, you know, trusting her emotional reasoning or being compassionate to a fault.
I think what is often meant with "emotional" isnt that a character is displaying emotions strongly, but rather that they base their decision making on emotion instead of reason.
And in that regard, lots of the stuff that Captain Marvel does can be seen as "emotional", as she often makes quick, impulsive decisions that are not well thought out.
The problem is that the movie usually rewards her for acting like that, instead of showing the drawbacks.
Was I the only one that laughed when that boy tried to help her by telling her to slow down on the kart and then she speeds up and explodes. That was genuinely hilarious
Because geniune advice is sexist and toxic!

but she got back up which I guess is supposed to mean something rather than learning you should control your speed and listen to good advise
SCREW YOU IM A STRONG INDEPENDENT...
Tried to warn you
I honestly think this movie was the beginning of the end for Marvel. Her role in End Game was clearly originally intended to be filled by Adam Warlock, teased at the end of Guardians 2, but then in a woke twist she was inserted instead. Then she was straight obnoxious in End Game and that movie was honestly underwhelming. There were great send offs for Tony, Cap, and Natasha but outside of that End Game was kind of a mess, especially the super insanely forced girl power scene. Captain Marvel began the MCU's rot.

@@weirdguy1495 She was a spoiled,arrogant brat for more than half of the series. Her development started far too late in the series to make it redeemable.
If she is flying to other stars at light speed then it probably took 24 years just to get there and back, and at relativistic speeds, she'd not experience a lot of subjective time, so to her it could seem like she'd only been gone a couple weeks and so Fury would still be fresh in her memory. Other than that one thing, the rest of the critiques are spot on. I wonder how the pager works instantaneously across great distance.
your point is valid but it's also against her telling. She told she keeps the safety of the universe, not only earth. With means, she has been a superhero on other planets, not using all her time for only flying. Also, I doubt that even with her stupidity, she would use the Warp when everyone in the galaxy uses it for travel.

Christian Bale has put himself on record as believing that American culture would be 'much richer' if the people in power weren't mostly white men.
The actor made the comments during an interview with AOL Build this past Monday as he sat with Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi to promote the upcoming Wild West drama film Hostiles.
"Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying, 'Hey, it's all white dudes who are running things," Bale said. "Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know?"
"We're going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told, and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique... that we recognise makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country."
Bale went on to call the US a 'country of inclusion', explaining that he moved his family to the States because he fell in love with the country.
Bale, who has two young children Emmaline and Joseph with the American make-up artist Sandra 'Sibi' Blažić, applied for US citizenship in 2010.
"It's the reason why I moved here," he said. "It's the reason why my kids have American accents."

What? You mean Captain Marvel WASN'T the first movie to ever feature a strong female lead? Don't speak such lies. I'm considering this a personal attack.
Capt Marvel has a different message, in those movies the message was: women can be strong characters too.
Today's message is: women are not strong characters because they are oppressed by men, so only by shitting on men they can prove they're strong and just as good (if not even more) in murdering 3rd world brown people abroad like their male counterparts.

Do not know if you will ever see this but thank you for being who you are mauler. Definitely one of the top 3 favorite youtubers in the entertainment subject.
When I first watched this video, I made a comment about the concept of "Show, don't tell". Now that I watch the video again, four years later, I still think of that concept and how they didn't understand it, but it also made me realize something else: I think I finally understood the true nature of what once was called a "nerd".
So, I'm aware there's descritptions of the word, please bear with me, I mean something else. Nerds were people knowing names of characters, taking the storie "too seriously", theorizing about future plot elements or hidden meanings in certain instances, buying merchandise and overall being fans of something that "isn't real". I know, that's not all there is to being called a nerd, but it's a strong indicator and it's something all nerds have had in common.
Now think about it: A normal popcorn flick would mostly be understandable, even if it was the second installment and you never saw the first one. Most serialized works were shows you would watch in the evening after work or for "housewives" to get over their boredom in between chores. Times changed; Netflix and chill was a thing. Overall, media changed. It was more accessable, as in, more people watched TV, went to the cinema, movies looked better and were easier to produce, etc.
Back in the day, someone who watched or read something lasting longer than two hours, like Star Wars or Star Trek, something you had to get behind to actually watch an episode of, just wasn't for everyone. Watching something, getting invested, because you won't understand shit and thus won't enjoy it if you don't, is something entirely exclusive to works with thought put behind them. If you watch Lord of the Rings, you would need to remember the characters, their names, how the lore works, in order to fully understand what's happening and to get invested in what might happen in the long run.
People who knew "this much" and took the lore seriously instead of simply glossing over it, because "It's ABoUT SpACe MAgiC", those people were called nerds. Nowadays, those people aren't that much of a thing anymore, even if the words Geek or Nerd are still a things in society. The reason being aforementioned shift in how movies and shows are made, since now people tend to watch things more intently; more people are now paying attention to what they are seeing. But of course, not everyone does. Those people would still stick to their popcorn-flicks and rarely think further about what they have even seen.
The people making and defending this shite are those I would put into the "Desperate Housewives" category. The kind were you can accept that they would probably remember the names of the characters and sometimes theorize a little, but whatever happens next is a shortlived exitement, an outrageous climax to one episode and characters might just act however down the road. They don't want to and won't think more deeply about a deeper lore or character arcs, because they can't be bothered to give that much of a fuck.
That is why they also don't think that others care about any of that and if you complain, you are a "Menbaby", because you "care" enough to realize the problems occuring in the logics department, despite being a grown person who shouldn't care that much about something that isn't "real". Which is ... one of the biggest things people made fun of in "Nerds" back in the day; also the most integral part in being called. It's not "Menbabies" - it's "Nerds" they hate. Because they care.
Or in other words: "Because you are a nerd, but we can't say that, because being a nerd is being cool nowadays, because just saying I like comics or videogames already makes me a nerd".
