In CM's case, that would involve some form of conflict dealing with a female. As a writer, this of course, leads you to consider something like menopausal cramps, or a kitchen cooking failure, or an online makeup purchase gone bad, or something similar. And if you do that the fanboys would hate it.

My review of the film is a C, if you were curious. I found it boring, and though the story was worth telling, they did it poorly. CM suffers from the same issue that super man does, namely that they are so ****ing powerful there is literally no reason to doubt they will win every time. Every story with them is a foregone conclusion.
Yeah. Does Captain Marvel have a 'kryptonite' like Superman does?

I'm going to put some thought into the movie, but my initial reaction is about what I thought it would be..... meh. Not bad, not great. Initial feeling is lower half of the Marvel movies. Maybe around the original Captain America.... I'm one of the ones that likes that movie though.

Felt like all the "strong woman" moments fit the movie - nothing seem really out of place other than the "I'm just a girl" song playing during the final fight. Not necessarily the song, but just didn't fit the scene in my opinion.

I think someone explained it earlier, but I'm too lazy to look it up - how did the tesseract end up in space?

She can fly jets....but I'd bet $1000 that she can't parallel park.

Maybe if you can get her to actually smile she'll burst into flames.

That may just be the actress who plays her, though.

Is there something I missed where this sentiment comes from? She's always been pretty bubbly when I've seen her.

I just don't remember ever seeing a picture of her when she was actually smiling. I assume she has teeth; I just haven't seen them.

Beats me, but it seems everywhere you look in the past few years, there have been a couple new things that are epidemics that apparently infuriate the hell out of people.

1. Men asking women to smile.
2. Wypipo asking to caress black people's hair.

Apparently it happens everywhere all the time and makes the object of the request furious.

There is too much context before I made that post to explain to you why this post you made in response to mine is asinine and a waste of time. I'm just going to put you on ignore if you are just going to cherry pick posts to attempt to 1up someone.

Watched it again today.

I'd put it above Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Tom Holland's Spiderman in terms of origin stories.

Your ability to watch/critique movies needs major improvement then.

I'll give you Thor. MCU could have done a better job w/ his origin movie...luckily Ragnarok made everyone forget about the first 2 movies. (Hopefully MCU can do the same w/ Captain Marvel)

But there's just no way in ****in hell Captain Marvel is a better origin movie than the others mentioned in your post.
