Captain Marvel Question

[General Mayhem]

I see a lot of people (mostly women) wearing the merch and what not which is cool and all. My thing is what makes Captain Marvel a interesting or compelling (or even likable) character? Like what is there to her? Was the movie really that inspiring to people? I'm not trying to be a jerk honestly, it's just I don't get it.

 

[General Mayhem]

So no one has an answer or explanation I guess?

Was the movie really that inspiring to people?

One reason it did as well as it did was how marvel billed it leading into endgame. A lot of people went to see it (myself included) thinking it would play a big roll in endgame, and it didn't. That said, I liked it, isn't in my top half of MCU, but I enjoyed it.

Most people think it was a good movie, and it is the first female super hero movie Marvel has done. Heck, I bought the Captain Marvel/NIN shirt. I mean what makes her likable? Super hero with tons of power that defeats bad guys and stands up for the oppressed guys.

IMHO the film's plot was lackluster. Bright, shiny, and vapid. No matter how much hyperbole, it lacked any unique hook.

A (female) character who decides she’s done living her life the way other people tell her to, and she has fun embracing her spectacular, cinema-friendly powers that her superiors were trying to suppress.

Ok but that doesn't make her interesting.

I think you are exaggerating when you say most. Also what happened to Black widow, Wonder Woman, and Scarlet witch? She is not the first to do any of this crap.

(to you)

Ok by that logic anyone who just happens to have super powers is interesting. Got it, they can have no personality what so ever and Bam! Compelling character right away. Good to know.

Based on the box office or the fact you stated you see a lot of people in the gear, I doubt it.

Well, wonder woman is not marvel, and black widdow and scarlet witch have not had their own movies. And I mean, "first to do any of this crap," yeah, you seem to be very curious about why a lot of people like the character and/or movie.

I liked it. It was a fun movie.

Because there is nothing to her character, the only reason the film did well was because it was part of the MCU. If it were a stand alone film no one would have cared, trust.

In your opinion. And that is fine for you. The MCU is not the only driver here, they are pulling those that are heavy into or were heavy into the comics as some of the characters are pretty true, and the storylines are from the comics.

As for her, herself, I will concede she got glow of Avengers IW as they stated she would be involved in Endgame. Also, I think it is clear that MCU is moving to Space for next phase, and this was an opening to more of what characters would be involved.

She has been touted as one of the strongest MCU charcters power wise, and tying her in to getting her powers from the infinity stone itself linked her in.

But a strong female hero, touted as all powerful, with ability and taking her own life in her own hands and breaking out of the "norm" is a huge attraction for some

Ok but Mary Sue's don't make good characters.

I'm sorry. I forgot that I exist only to answer your questions in a timely manner. I promise it won't happen again.

So, you already have a clearly formed opinion and you just asked the question to troll a debate. Nice.

It's not my fault that none of you have been able to give me one thing about her other than "She's strong". What else?

 

[WhatJaneSays]

Anyone that uses the term "Mary Sue" like they mean it is likely an 8-year-old sneaking on the internet while their parent/guardian is not looking.

It's a legit term, get over it girl.
