I cannot support this movie... Not because of Brie Larson's stupidity. (No, Carol CANNOT lift Meow Meow, much less Mjolnir, she isn't the Strongest In the Marvel Universe... Thank goodness for The Sentry... or Hulk, or Thanos, or Jane Foster... Much less beat DC's greatest Hero, Kal-El) Not to mention that the Southern Belle of the Xavier School for Gifted Students (X) kicked Danvers' ass so hard that little Ms. Marvel ended up in a coma.
The reason is that Marvel's pushing her harder than Vince McMahon pushes Roman Reigns...
She was a C or D-List character (depends on who you ask and when you ask. Right now I see her as a C-lister.) She got her powers, lost her powers and memories, regained memories, regained powers, went to space, came back, lostpart of her powers, saw a fictional universe where she didn't suck, became a pseudo lesbian man-hating third waver and a fascist... Guess which version we're getting...
So, aside from piracy... (which is a no-no) here's 11 things you can do that are much better than watching Cap'n Meh Vel.
I honestly should have called it movies to watch instead...
11: Watch and reenact The Room... yes, the Tommy Wiseau film:
I know, The Room is awful, cringy, and painful to watch... just like Brie Larson attempting to pull off a convincing superhero.
10: Watch Green Lantern while getting a root canal:
Root Canals suck... Green Lantern sucks... but it's the closest to a DC version of Cap'n Meh Vel... at least Ryan Reynolds is entertaining...
9: Watching Ghostbusters (2016) as you wade in an inflatable pool full of slime... naked:
We need to get all that slime in every crack and let it dry out, so it becomes a pain to remove... You'll probably feel less dirty about this than supporting Cap'n Meh Vel.
8: Watch Scott Pilgrim vs the World:
It has Brie Larson and she's just as insufferable, but in less doses. I could've said Kong: Skull Island since it has her, Samuel L. Jackson, and a CGI Animal who steals the show. Hmmm!
7: Watch Suicide Squad and have a shot of vodka every time Will Smith acts like Will Smith instead of Floyd Lawton:
Suicide Squad sucks ass, but you'll be drunk enough to enjoy Jared Leto's performance as the Juggalo Prince of Crime.
6: Read the Twilight saga and the 50 shades series... Replacing the 50 shades names with Twilight characters:
OK, this one isn't a movie... closer to 8 if you're lazy or allergic to books.
5: sleep:
You know keeping it simple and saving money. And as adults, sleep is sacred.
4: Get some steaks and grill'em:
If you're vegan, which you'll tell me in the comments, gimme a tasty vegan alternative to Steak recipe... I heard about grilling Watermelon rubbed with steal seasoning... (my lack of willpower makes me eat the melons raw...) I honestly want to try some vegan alternatives to steak. If the alternative pleases my tastebuds and my wallet, I might go for the vegan alternative. Please, avoid the preachings about morality and all the other stuff. I just want the recipes from people whp have actually eaten them.
3: Play videogames:
You probably have a game or 10 in your backlog... I know I have. Currently doing Dream Drop Distance HD...
2: Do any chores you have put on the back gburner:
Especially if married... You know to make your Significant other happy and not mad at ya...
1: Watch Alita: Battle Angel:
It's a far better movie with a far better female protagonist. Besides, the Post Credits movies have already been spoiled... I COULD spoil them, but I won't...
All jokes aside, if you want to watch it, be my guest... just wait a couple of weeks until the cinema can get a bit more money per showing.
Do I want Cap'n Meh Vel to fail? Yes... Not because "she's a woman" but because the character is not worthy of the preferential treatment she's getting. The movie could be awesome, true... but since they are using Post-House of M Carol, I don't care much for the character... You know the confident and charming Rogue THAT WAS Old School Carol Danvers. A woman who fought her way in a Man's world without being a total ass...
But if you really want to see it and enter the murky waters that even I won't enter... Be careful Matey! (We are not responsible if you make like Jack Sparrow and get caught. )
But seriously, what are the vegan alternatives to steak...
