Besides the 1st credits scene, what was there to like about this movie?

 

Lmao at the 80% score, it is insane the low standards critics have for the MCU. And then you guys wonder why people make jokes about Disney checks.

Imo, it also speaks volumes about 1) the MCU's giant growth in Phase 3 worldwide and 2) the massive anticipation for Endgame that undoubtely helped CM.

 

the most amazing thing about this release for me is that it managed to reach 150M opening with zero Endgame tie in.

 

I thought it was a given that Marvel would release a trailer for Endgame featuring Captain Marvel.

Nah, if it had opened outside the IW/EG storyline, it would have got AM numbers. The fandango survey pretty much proved that.

(Looks at AMATW gross in between IW/EG)

can't wait to see it.

 

An even more mediocre Marvel film than usual... it's impressive.

 

It always amazes me that Marvel hires the most talented and interesting directors and then the end product turns out to be the same regurgitated rubbish.

If we look at how AqM CM and Venom performed, I would conclude the public like origin movies, I certainly prefer them to sequals.

[Avatree]

I just checked Mojo and yes, WW is the only 100M opener to reach 4x multi.

Changes when you adjust for inflation of course but unadjusted it's the Queen.

Not quite 4x - just a mere (BP like) 3.5 since it opened to $114m smashing the o/w record

What was there to like in the first credit scene? 

[Yandereprime101189]

Let's stop pitting Captain Marvel against Wonder Woman. The director of Wonder Woman certainly isn't.

 

Heck, if this was a better world, they'd probably be talking about a Wonder Woman/Captain Marvel team-up movie.

 

Spoiler

Besides, Captain Marvel's stronger than Wonder Woman anyway, at least in movie continuity. 😲

Yeah, the male percentage was nearly two-thirds for Captain Marvel's opening day. It's like the embodiment of the "there are dozens of us" meme.

Do they ever do breakdowns of race. Would love to see how many white males there were.

Suffice to say that what gets @CJohn excited is probably the exact opposite for me, and vice versa.

I will probably get a "not cool" reaction for this, but the film isnt getting better the more i think about it. More like the other direction. So much potential, so many great actors but the script and especially the visual presentation of the film kinda sunk it for me.
