To be fair The Rocketeer is a goddamn classic.
Both directed by Joe Johnston.

Of course, they have to write down these women are "badass" because if you watched the movies you couldn't tell.
I don't remember the last time they had to specifically tell me how male badass movie characters are badass.
The insecurity is pretty high when dealing with female characters.
Weird......not one woman of color. One day we'll get there.
I thought First Avenger was great.
Really Thor was the only Phase One movie I considered less than "really good" and it, to me, was just "okay."
Iron-Man remains probably my favorite MCU film, but its close.
Are you saying there are none at the moment?Weird......not one woman of color. One day we'll get there.
I'm supprised people are still into superhero movies. After the same movie for the 5th time I was done.
Maybe I grew out of them. Maybe they became predictable.
Maybe I just don't go to see movies at the theater anymore.
I dunno how people still go to see this stuff. Just not for me anymore. And I'm glad to get out of the pool so to speak.
I haven't heard of that, I will give it a look.This is why I hope Brightburn does really well.
I would love seeing some new formulas.
Evil superpowered people. I guess Chronicle kind of did this, too. But I would like a universe around it. Do the Injustice storyline.
Have a series where an evil Superman or evil super beings won, I mean really won. A world enslaved, people living in terror of the super people, stuff like that
I hope Brightburn starts a new trend.
I haven't heard of that, I will give it a look.
But yeah. Movies like V for Vendetta and Watchmen and 300 all were better "comic movies" than these superhero movies. My opinion.
Are you saying there are none at the moment?
Or that the pic maker 'chose' not to put any?
Re the first, Pam Grier and Halle Berry come to mind.
On the second, there are far, faaaaar more 'white' women who fit the bill. And there are only 8 spots to put them in.
Maybe we shouldn't read too much into it.

I feel like there is a group of people containing those who likes and disliked movie but agree that Larson was weak and maybe miscast.
For those of us in that boat, who would you rather have seen in the role?
I’m kind of warming up to Charlize Theron as Carol Danvers

Charlize is great but too old for the part, though they could have de-aged her only to use her current age in End Game. Any actress with talent and personality would have worked. I like the gal who played Aquaman's girl.

Watched this only because my brother asked me to go with him and hang out. One of the worst Marvel movies. Brie has no charisma, just as the trailers portrayed. I thought it was mostly a bore and poorly directed. Weird pacing. Thewas moronic. The Nick Fury retro CG wasn't flawless, leaving a very distracting uncanny valley thing going on during the film. I expected it to be a 7/10 and it was worse than that. The "girl power" moments were a little hamfisted, but not completely stomach churning.cat/octopus sideplot
Edit:
Save your money and Redbox or Netflix it.
What makes you think Larson will look as good as Charlize in 10 years?Larson was weak, compared to other super heros in our Marvel movies. But I don't think it's a complete miscast. And if her character is going to be around for 10 years, you couldn't have hired Charlize Theron. She's 43 years old now. Carol Danvers is younger than that.

I still think her "wooden" acting works within the context of the narrative. She is constantly told to control herself and her emotions. BUT I also think the directing is certainly an element, like they didn't know how to direct her. How to show under that wooden surface there is a charming, jokey and likeable character.
There should have been more moments where her "real" personality shone through.
I agree the Russo's will do a better job. If everyone falls in love with her in Endgame, the crazy thing is that Larson did that film first. So technically she should feel more comfortable with her character by the 2nd film.
Yeah I had this feeling as well. I could see how they sort of missed the mark,. Where she is a confused character and the implant and what she has been told gave her no chance to be herself. Then when she was it sort of seemed awkward. It just wasn't a very well developed or directed character.
Have fun. =D

Saw the film in the cinema on Sunday with my two boys.
I just realised now that not one thought of identity politics was in mind IRL during the film.
Phew, I'm still normal.
Film was good too. A bit of a reference to the refugee crisis, but nothing too bad. Can't wait for End Game.
A little bit of both actually. And the bolded probably is a problem, to be honest.
Yep. Also I thought the refugees and terrorism excuse for war was way more prevalent and important While watching the filmSaw the film in the cinema on Sunday with my two boys.

Till date out of all the MCU films, the ending of First Avenger is the only one that left me depressed. Can't help but feel bad for the guy.I thought First Avenger was great.

That said my gf and I had a pretty heated discussion about how she interpretted the movie.
She saw a lot more of the men telling Carol she wasn’t good enough. It really didn’t register to me I just thought it as a basic “get up when you fall” sort of thing. I saw Carol as reckless and hell that is probably why she is a test pilot. She has a few screws loose.
It’s not like she wasn’t successful after all those people told her to be careful or she couldn’t do it. She proved them wrong long before having super powers.
YEah and this happens a lot in all sorts of movies. I just don't give this movement much credit because they usually have to force things. EG making a point that this is a huge thing that a woman is the lead super here. Completely ignoring all the other badass women in film over decades.What pushes it into a more feminist undercurrent is the fact that it's ONLY men shitting on her during the montage. They also genderbent Mar-Vel to make sure she had no positive male influences in her life. Add in the smiling bit and the black girl telling the skrull not to change anything and it's clearer what the movie was pushing. It doesnt beat you over the head with it but it is there.
