Cap'n Meh Vel and other stuff...

No, Carol is not worthy of a full rant for herself.
Cap'n Meh Vel:
It's not a train wreck...
It's not great either...
The Skrull plot twist was weak... even if the Kree have been massive assholes in the comics for ages.
Brie Larson's acting range was reduced to a bad Kristen Stewart impression. Seriously, she's so bland here that Everyone steals the spotlight from her... making her a background character in her own movie.
It's a shame that the people involved with this took too much inspiration from Modern Era Fascist Carol instead of old school "Boston Rogue" Carol. The Stan tributes are the saving grace of the movie...

For a movie that is supposed to showcase the "most powerful Avenger" well... it gets a C... I mean a C-... don't mention Fury's eye unless you want the D (as in the grade not the OTHER D...)

Brie Larson was horribly miscast. Hell, even Anna Kendrick would've been a better option... Personally I'd pick Emily Blunt. Annette Benning is a great actress, but she wasn't Mar-Vell... Kevin Fiege's BS excuse that she needed a female mentor is BS.
There are plenty of badass women who have a Male Mentor... Katniss Everdeen, mentored by Men. The Bride, mentored by Men, Xena, mentored by Men... or in this case a Male god. Even freaking Rey was Mentored by Men. Mar-Vell could've easily be played by a man, as he should be. You could pick a not so huge actor for this role. I'd pick Mark Paul Gosselaar as Mar-Vell. (It's a sort of jokey nod to the 90s)

Also, I would've not tried so hard to act as if she was what the MCU revolved around.
Hopefully Carol will be touched in the sequel...

No, I won't "Have Mercy" on Aunt Becky... Getting into college is hard as Hell at times, mainly due to budgetary issues, the rest is academic prowess. To hear about celebrities using their power ( $$$) to facilitate access to prestigious Universities for their kids... read, BRIBES. I get the idea of parents doing what they can for their kids...

Dammit, Spike! I had been trying to forget that scene...

No, this can't be real...


A new Doom movie? And it looks like the Karl Urban one was renade by College students trying to show how to fix THAT Doom...
