Captain Marvel can fly and shoot beams...why is she fighting a salary man and struggling to lift herself up? Unless she forgot?

Presumably this is before she learns how to use her full powers.

I am super confused why she is fighting a grandma, and then an accountant. There's zero context and it's making me less and less interested.

I finally watched avengers: infinity war, and wow it straight up is not a movie??? Like, it's just a bunch of clips sewn together with no coherence between them. The very first scene feels like it starts 10 minutes in.

Probably because skrulls/secret invasion is gonna be the next big bad threat they build up to, but won't actually be revealed until the after-credits of Endgame.

I mean unless Captain Marvel is a hot 90 minutes of Brie Larson punching randos in the face, it's gonna have to be established in the movie at some point.

sucks to be right

We pretty much already knew that the movie was a really close adaptation of the recent "New 52" Shazam graphic novel just from what we saw in the earlier trailers, it shouldn't really be a surprise that one more thing from the comic is confirmed to be in the film.

(If you want to get some background on the character but you don't want the film to be 100% spoiled then I guess you should only read the old stuff)

It's also not a giant leap if you look at the trailer and the train clip. In the trailer, Captain Marvel punches a granny on a train, the granny does kung fu. There are also aliens who seem to be evil. Did the aliens build a robot granny?

In the train clip, Captain Marvel chases an accountant on top of a train. Why are there so many trains in this movie? Did she finish off the granny and this guy witnessed it and Captain Marvel is trying to silence him?


Like, Marvel movies get rightfully shat on for looking horrible but the trailer and train clip don't lack in information. You just need to actually look at them.

Look, I'm all for giving the MCU its lovely due, but if you have problems gathering basic information like "the accountant and granny might be connected to the aliens and each other", that's on you.

The first trailer established that perfectly fine with the kung fu grandma. I say this as someone who knows nothing about the Skrulls. I knew after that trailer that the granny was a Skrull. To say you didn’t is what’s really loving wild.

The second trailer outright says to you, in plain English, that Skrulls can look like other people. It also literally shows a Skrull turning into another person.
