Not really, even people who didn't watch the series felt she was the best part of the movie.

Which tells me everything I need to know about the film, honestly

The best part of the movie is when the cats eat everyone. That's the only par that really works. It was set up extensively beforehand, and they really go all out on it.

Not like that loving singing planet, where they were clearly uncomfortable with the idea and worried about looking silly so they sped through it as quick as possible

It still boggles my mind that Captain Marvel ends with Captain Marvel saying "I'm going to go gently caress up the Kree because they're bad guys!" And then like 30 minutes into Captain Marvel 2 we discover through flashback that she already did it off screen between movies.

And it's not a minor thing, she went and destroyed the computer that ran their society, boiled their oceans, destroyed their atmosphere, and extinguished their sun. And the entire plot of Captain Marvel 2 is about Kree survivors trying to save their world after Captain Marvel destroyed it off screen between movies.

These late era Marvel movies are something else, man

It's a piece of JUNK!
Honestly even the title "Madame Web" is a problem. Like in a world where Hollywood execs didn't greenlight literally every comic book movie, there's no way they release a movie with such a lame title. It just sounds stupid. I know it's the character's name but there's no rule saying you can't title it something else. Pull a "Tangled" or something.

I remember how angry people were about 15 years ago when Dunst suggested killing Spider-Man off and leaving MJ to raise their super-powered kid on their own.

Honestly, I probably would have liked to have seen that being the Spider-themed character story in the MCU rather than the reboot Tom Holland Spidey. It would be able to mirror a lot of the Peter Parker stuff, but you could probably put a new spin (no pun intended) for MJ/May in the Aunt May/Peter dynamic.

MJ gives birth to a black baby (new Captain America is the father) and she calls him Miles in honor of her favorite jazz musician, Miles Davis. Peter dies fighting Kraven and Morbius, she remarries to a Puerto Rican dude named Morales.

Why don't they just do a completely new universe every five years with comic books? That way you don't have decades of old, bizarre stories adversely effecting what stories you can tell now, and the super nerds would be able to learn the whole universe inside and out without having to read 80+ years worth of old books. It's just more humane to the customers.

In the end she decides to reignite their sun for them because her friend tells her to. Luckily by that point they had already stolen another planets entire atmosphere so they had an atmosphere, and another planets oceans so they had oceans.

So Captain Marvel destroyed one planet, but made it up to them and her balance at the end was only -2 planets.

This gets basically no focus at all in the movie and the last shot of that plotline is the Kree happily basking in the light of their reignited sun, so Captain Marvel definitely saved the day

"The film introduced a trio of supporting characters (played by Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor and Sydney Sweeney — now one of the top stars her age). It set up a future in which the three could have become a team of Spider-Women under the guiding eye of Johnson’s Cassie Webb. Now that’s not going to happen."

gently caress!!!

edit:

"Sony is willing to take some risk but also wants home runs — that’s good. And if [Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man Universe title] Kraven is a gigantic hit, the narrative could be completely different. So it’s too early to know the outcome.”"

Green is still best.

quote:

So Madame Web — directed and co-written by S.J. Clarkson and starring Johnson as a New York paramedic who develops psychic powers — seemingly took a wise approach: When there are capes and cowls on every metropolis corner, doesn’t it make sense to avoid the usual tropes and try for a more grounded-feeling suspense thriller with low-key charm? And moreover, make a superhero movie for women and young girls?
Except it didn’t work.
“I don’t know if women are enough to carry the box office here,” one veteran studio source outside of Sony says. Indeed, males make up 65 percent to 70 percent of the superhero audience in North America. In the case of Madame Web, the percentage of female viewers was still only 46 percent.

The director hasn't directed anything except 1 or 2 episodes of various tv shows for the past 20 years and directed the entire miniseries Anatomy of a Scandal. The only thing she wrote before co-writing this was a series she created in the UK called Mistresses that ended 8 years ago...

But I suppose a problem with any sort of 5-year plan is that you're always going to end up with creators and companies who aren't ready to give up the status quo or who want to keep recycling the same things over and over.

Comics are also pretty decompressed anymore, so a 5 year reboot would probably only give us about 6-10 storylines before a reboot, as opposed to the 70s-80s that were doing 1-2 issue storylines monthly. That's fine if editorial/creative has a good arc with closure planned or you're using the comics as a proving ground for movie/TV series content.

We need more grounded in reality stuff for comic book prequel adaptations.

This Fall on CW:

Dark Night Ahead: The adventures of 17-24yo Bruce Wayne as he travels the world, learning the skills he'll eventually use as Batman. He never actually becomes Batman in the series.

Green: The story of reckless, rookie Airman Hal Jordan has he struggles his way through the Air Force. He never gets the GL Ring.

Paradise Lost: Teen Diana is forced to wander man's world after offending the gods with her hubris. Never puts on a WW costume or calls herself that.

Stone: 14yo Vic Stone rebels against his nerd parents by taking up sports while keeping a 4.0 average. Never becomes a robotguy.

On ABC:

Summers in Alaska: A family comedy about the Summers family raising two young boys and working at a family charter plane business. No use of mutant powers at all.

The Bugle: A newsroom drama of a spitfire reporter named J. J. Jameson as a young man. No spider-man.

Stretching the Budget: Another family comedy, this one about a down-on-their-luck single mom of a teen girl and a brat kid having to rent out rooms in their home to some nerd and an Air Force reservist.

I don't know I'm reading The Ice Cream man right now. It's about an Ice Cream Man named Rick who is also a demigod of chaos and misery. It leans into surrealism now and then.
