Didn't The Suicide Squad do much worse than this ?
Yea, Blue Beetle too lol
he’s cooking these lil niggas
i’m starting to think Variety has beef with Marvel lol
https://twitter.com/variety/status/1723742347698094462this is a fair observation to make I think if you’re just reporting on BO (basing this on the headline)
Its just not working building these franchises when you have to watch 3 other movies or shows to unserstand them. Nobody will keep up
Also brie Larson while a great actress just not good as captain marvel

The strike definitely hurt the box office numbers
But I agree that Brie Larson is totally miscast as Captain Marvel.. she doesn't have the screen presence required for a superhero. And the "most powerful superhero in MCU" no less...

It’s so stupid saying you need to watch all those shows to “understand” it
I don’t remember anything about Monica in Wandavision…and my experience wasn’t ruined
And with ms.marvel…you didn’t need to watch the show either…they touch on her origin, bangles etc throughout the movie
You don’t need to know about her friends, villains etc cause this movie has nothing to do with them lmao
And they didn’t touch on anything from secret invasion
The Marvels is a zippy, lighthearted MCU romp that is able to elevate the lead characters and keep you entertained. But it also feels like the third film in a Captain Marvel trilogy, but there hasn’t been a second. Even so, Carol feels much more rounded out as a character. Iman Vellani steals every scene she’s in and injects the energy into this movie. Nia DaCosta’s directing was solid, Brie Larson and Teyonnah Paris were great, and the chemistry between our heroes was very good.
While this feels like Captain Marvel 3, it also feels like Ms. Marvel Season 2. The movie is at its best when it’s like this.
Now that’s not to say this movie doesn’t have any issues, it has its fair share. Firstly, the editing was off. Certain scenes didn’t have the time to breathe, especially the emotional ones. This could’ve used another 15 minutes and it would’ve felt better. Also, Dar Benn was severely underdeveloped. It just felt like she was there, and then she’s gone. Nick Fury has been relegated to a comedic character, which you would expect is a welcome change after Secret Invasion, but it just doesn’t really work that well. Also this movie acts like Secret Invasion never happened which is kind of funny. I wasn’t a fan of a certain setting in this movie and it also felt more like an episode of a MCU TV show if that makes sense. Whereas, even though I like this one more, the first Captain Marvel really felt like a movie.
All in all The Marvels is a good time, but it could have been better. I’m hoping someday we get the Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel adventure we truly deserve that really fires on all cylinders.
P.S. The mid credit scene fired me up in the best way possible.
7/10
Just watched and I was thinking the same thing
The whole Annihilator subplot felt like the real Captain Marvel 2
I had a fun time. Definitely not a movie that signifies that the MCU is about to die, if anything this movie hints at the MCU getting a new breath of air after seeing that mid credits scene
But I do wish they would’ve incorporated Kang in to the film in some way, or at least one of his variants
And although there were definitely some iffy CGI shots, overall I thought the movie looked pretty good
I feel like the CGI was noticeably better looking than most of the recent MCU films, excluding GOTG3 obviously. You can tell they spent a lot more time smoothing out the effects for this movie

i was noticing as well the cgi was pretty great for the most part i guess that delay worked out
first movie looked good too
This was great, minus some critiques:
That being said, if this went straight to Disney+ I don’t think it would have been as critiqued as it was. Disney have done an awful job at promoting this and it’s a real shame
7/10 for me imo
This is basically the MCU’s Blue Beetle in the nicest way possible. And both are good films
biggest and only real question at the end of this is how the hell monica not only getting home but tying into all this
Was this film even promoted
Deadass had no idea about this and I fw captain marvel
