Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

I think he means that time Captain America was turned into a werewolf.
Which I remember being well-liked, actually, if only because it was very dumb.
YOSH
I was worried it wouldn't make it on account of it having been out for a few weeks already. This news lit up my weekend!

To answer the question: they still aren't abandoning. I actually just got agressed by another one on Youtube who insisted to me that it was a proven fact the movie was actually failing and corporations were just lying about the numbers. He gave as a proof the 69% decline and the fact merchandises sold badly, among other bs. I guess there's just no way to reason with these idiots.

The merch sells badly? Where is this coming from?
A thing which kind of frustrates me is that Brie Larson ended up to be right. The narrative out there is that Captain Marvel is an okay movie and a nice pop corn flick. It seems that the majority of the reviewers totally miss the bigger message in the movie. A few female ones got it, but since they aren't dominating the conversation…
Apparently white male reviewer have an easier time to get that there is a message speaking to the black community than recognizing that there is a message geared towards females.
Having interesting or novel themes doesn't make a movie any better, in fact, sometimes it can make the movie worse, as the ambition shines a light on the lack of artistic skill.
So yes, it is perfectly possible to get the and not think the movie was all that great, let's not fall into the Opinion Myopia trap, here.
Well, with Black Panther, ignoring the group it's trying to reach, it adds a big new element to the MCU (Wakanda, a cool setting) and Black Panther is a fairly cool character himself. Captain Marvel doesn't add much to the MCU other than Captain Marvel herself (who to be fair is pretty good).
I don't think the movie is bad, it's just not as good as other recent Marvel movies (which isn't saying much).

It's not like the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't already have tons of ancient secretive orders out to manipulate the world that somehow had no idea any of the others existed.
Hell, if the Shang Chi movie follows his standard origin, we're about to get another one.
Though for vampires, they hardly need to go that far. Just have them be... well... monsters. Some of them are organized, some of them are not. People think they're myths, but they walk among us (boogedy boogedy).
