Yep, it's a two parter combined into one part. Captain Marvel! Some people loved it! Some people meh-ed it. Some people hated it. Some people just hate Brie Larson. Business as usual. Here's everything right with Captain Marvel!

So there was a huge storm last night and it knocked out my internet. I'm currently on my Mother-in-law's wifi uploading this video. I had planned a brand new video for today, but the power and internet being in and out has really screwed me up. Hopefully it's back tonight and I'll be able to get the new one up. It's Matrix Resurrections, why be coy? It's ironically a 2 parter because I'm still in the early stages of editing the second half and it's a long movie. But I wanted to get something real and new and great up for y'all, so as soon as it's done I'll publish it, hopefully Monday. In the meantime, another combo! Yayyyyyy. ;)

I was also baffled when I found out people thought she wasn’t emoting at all. Her body language is really tense and guarded for a good portion of the film and noticeably different to her at the end, and there are tons of moments where she’s clearly subduing expressions and suppressing reactions but they still slip through. I don’t know, I’m often told people have a hard time reading me, so maybe I’m just more used to recognizing that stuff.

As someone who saw this movie "blind" to outside controversy, I enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect but movies, including Marvel movies aren't perfect either. As far as the archetype of "strong character suppressing their feelings" it's one that I don't mind and that Brie Larson did well. Pick almost any action movie and the lead is usually some stoic badass with a history of being awesome without context behind it. And I am happy that women are getting more characters to look up to. I think that is great. Also can't wait to see photon/Monica Rambo outside of Wandavision.

"You should smile more." "You're too emotional." "You should be quiet." Being talked over. Being talked down to. Having your ideas taken by someone else and presented as their own. Confidence and assertiveness being characterized as "bitchy", "shrill", "whiny", etc. These are all things that would have a lot of women nodding their head in recognition. I would be shocked if a woman reading this hasn't experienced at least one of the above, whether it was directed at them or they watched it happen to another. A lot of the above themes and attitudes were shown in the movie directed at Carol Danvers, which is why it resonated with so many when she succeeded despite the attitudes of the other characters towards her. Why the scene of her getting up every time someone tried to drag her low felt powerful, and why the line "I have nothing to prove to you" struck home. If the exact same performance had been given by a man, without changing a line, inflection, or facial tick, people would probably be saying it was a decent performance. For instance, Keanu Reeves in the Matrix was even more deadpan, and yet the Matrix was highly praised. Tom Cruise in Top Gun was just as cocky, but that's considered a classic as well. Could the movie have been better? Undoubtedly. There are parts where the action falters, the dialogue needed tweaking, and the script could have gone a different way to heighten the drama. But that doesn't change the emotional core of the movie, which is not letting others hold you down and keep you away from realizing your potential. It's something a lot of people needed to hear. Especially girls who want to do something that women have only been allowed to do within the past 30-ish years, like being a combat fighter pilot. Women were first allowed to pursue that career in the US Military in 1993. That's only 31 years ago. I really appreciated the discussion of empathy at the end of the video, as well as adding the historical context. Thank you.

Meanwhile, back in reality… Thousands of men out at zero dark theory picking up trash from millions of women. It takes a special kind of world to complain about being told to “smile more.” Some would call it a First World. Anyhow, I miss the Madam Curies of a century ago who struggled against actual patriarchy and contributed more than most men today. It says a lot about people who complain about struggle when they neglect mentioning the great achievements of those who went through actual struggle. It’s all subjective, though. As for being ALLOWED to serve… It was kinda nice getting the right to vote WITHOUT the mandatory requirement of signing up for the draft. So much for equality, eh? My favorite irony of this whole woke infection… whining about cultural appropriation out of one side of their mouth and gate-keeping out the other. What, exactly, are the parameters for when a group of people has their culture protected from appropriation or required to share lest they be branded “gate-keepers”? Cause, here’s the thing… the MCU is a product of NERD culture which was a response to exclusion by the popular crowd: jocks and cheerleaders. Now that those NERDS have grown up and become tax-paying citizens able to grow the behemoth that’s is the MCU, they have their NERD culture summarily APPROPRIATED for the sole purpose of lecturing NERDS about inclusivity. I don’t know how many words and phrases that I used which cause you confusion, so I’ll recommend one phrase for you to look up for your homework… Tone deafness. Cheers 🍻 and you should smile more. 😃

Good points for the most part, but to say Captain Marvel and The Matrix are comparable because of the lead is like comparing a ,22 handgun to a 25mm Vulcan - they are both guns (both deadpan performances), but one completely outclasses the other in every respect (script, plot, theme, artistry, etc.). Take that back and repent in sackcloth and ashes.

I always thought one of the big issues with Captain Marvel was it was released between two big avenger movies and it failed to connect them. It would have been MUCH better to have planned for Black Widow during that time and have them examine life during the snap. Instead... well I don't want to assign motives where I can't prove motives, but looking at the movies released around this time it seems there was a bit of a backlash against stuff going on in political straw men in America at the time and I think Cpt. Marvel unfortunately got tainted by this trend needlessly.

Thank you for all your work man. Love your stuff. As a straight white male myself, you reminded me that I not only liked Carol as a character, I *really* like Carol as a character lol. I love her struggle of trying to figure out her past, that was genuinely moving for me. The montage of her standing up over the years got me good and still gets me good too. I love how her overall arc in the story is about just letting loose and embracing herself for once. Damn Kree! VERY effective conflict there. I even just love her operating in an average scene!! I love her subdued sass and little smirks. She's not boisterous or peppy like I feel most people wanted/expected her to be, but she does have a certain confidence/swagger to her like you said. Her "wanna fight?" before sparring with Yon Rogg at the beginning was the moment I kinda fell in love with her lol. I even love the way she squares up when Talos and the Kree show up, she's got a great battle stance and I love her powers in general. I genuinely can't bother myself to hate her or Brie as people. (I always took Brie's interview humor as sarcastic from the beginning.) Everyone who is mad about them is wasting SO much energy. I will say the way they navigated her in Endgame was very clever--letting her kill Thanos would've been an unsatisfying conclusion for everyone--but I honestly hope they keep working on Carol as a character. Make people love her. Earn it. Push her through some more conflicts and force her to make tough calls and have to step up and be a leader for the Avengers. I don't think she should be "the main character" of the MCU, I think that would more comfortably fall onto Spiderman, but I could see her still being the leader character if that makes sense. She's a good person! She had some small but tender moments in Endgame, such as tearing up seeing all the peoples' identities who had been snapped, not to mention being the first to kneel to help Tony when he collapsed.

Brie Larson isn't wrong when it comes to critics, just think back to Turning Red and the kind of critics that movie had, saying it was "unrelatable", when it was about a young girl growing up. As an autistic woman, it can be frustrating to read critics and hear viewers praising movies with autistic characters that are bad representation from an autistic point of view (autistic characters being used as props to help the neurotypical character evolve, bad acting, lack of understanding of autism as a whole etc.), while leaving movies with good autistic characters to die in oblivion (I will always be angry about Power Rangers 2017 and how this movie is not getting a sequel). I'd love to have more diversity when it comes to reviewers, who will get what they're been shown and will be able to add their own spin because of their experience. I'm also pretty convinced that the "nothing about us without us" is the best way to get better representation (even if it's just someone on set helping to accurately portray whatever they're trying to portray). Fun fact: for an episode of Dollhouse, one of the characters was blind (long story if you don't know the show, but the character's basically a blank state and memories and life experience are put into them for various missions), and they had a blind consultant helping the actress. After a while, the director decided to exaggerate the blind character's blindness, becauste the able-bodied viewer wouldn't believe that she was supposed to be blind if they didn't. Isn't that infuriating? Anyway, my point is that we definitely need more diversity, and the best way to get that diversity is to involve diverse people on the writing and casting team, as well as other teams necessary to complete a movie/show/whatever. Otherwise, you're just gonna miss the audience you're representing. Even if you weren't targeting them (I'd argue most movies with autistic characters are made for a neurotypical audience), you have to be aware that they will watch your movies and they will see themselves on screen. Telling them that they're a burden on everyone is not the best way to get them on your side.

As an autistic trans woman, this, a thousand times this. Depictions of autistics are either the fully internalized, no outside interaction characters that are basically living props and symbols of hardship for their caregivers; or they're socially awkward super nerds with eidetic memories and a "unique world view" that helps their fellows grow (I'm looking at you Good Doctor). It gets frustrating. Then, of course, there's the men jumping at roles of trans women, and women playing trans men, with no input from the community being depicted, let alone actual trans performers. I'm excited to see Patty Jenkins's future projects though. I think she toed the line on keeping dudes interested but less challenged and empowering women (vacillating from one side of that line to the other as she went) .

I didn’t watch it when it originally came out but I remember all the stupid controversy mainly surrounding her acting with her feelings. But now seeing it myself I can tell she played this perfectly. Women are constantly taught to hide their emotions, to not be so emotional to it react and that’s what she did. Once she finally did let herself feel her emotions she was her most powerful. Such an important and great message. Definitely one of my favorite marvel movies

I don't think girls are less allowed to emote than boys! It depends on the emotion. Boys who cry are often reprimanded & they get a clear message from their peers that being "a sissy" might even get them beaten up! Girls, on the other hand, aren't allowed to get angry. We get accused of "behaving like men" for just displaying our natural personalities & emotions & get called a bitch for exactly the same attitudes as men who are praised for being aggressive, etc. So both men & women are punished for not "staying in their lane" & acting "like they're supposed to." In fact, men die sooner than women BECAUSE they stifle their emotions. If you're a man & you don't feel things, fine, but don't attack men who cry or show tenderness for being "weak." They're probably going to outlive you. I'll take that kind of "weakness". Survival of the fittest (best adapted) & all. Likewise, if you're a woman & actually enjoy being a stay at home mom or being more passive than men, great. But don't curry favor with men by attacking women who are naturally more aggressive or assertive or competitive. And vice versa. I think the error made by most people is just not letting people be human first, experiencing the whole range of human emotions without condemnation or criticism for those emotions or how they interact with other people, unless that interaction becomes violent, manipulative, abusive, or otherwise genuinely harms someone. Today, we seem to have the idea that harming people outside our tribe (those of a different opinion or political position) is justified & heroic, while we won't tolerate anyone offending ANYONE on OUR tribe, even with the gentlest of language & no ill intent. The feelings of people on our side must be protected at all costs. If someone is on our side, no criticism of them is ever allowed, even for egregious & abusive behavior, hate, & threats of violence, while if someone is perceived to be in that other tribe, then they're Nazis or fascists or hateful or bigots. Never mind the evidence. Don't bother reading what some perceived "enemy" actually wrote or even watching videos showing what was said or done & evaluating for yourself if your tribe is engaging in groupthink & you have been believing everything they say without question or asking for the evidence. That's prejudice (pre-judging without knowing all the facts). That's a hivemind. It's so dangerous. Ironically, the very message of Captain Marvel is that sometimes our tribe deceives us & uses us to fight the people THEY say are enemies. It's painful to realize this & admit we've been wrong or that we've been duped or used. But we must if we are going to be "free thinkers" indeed, searching for what is true & good, & not just being "on the right side" in our own imaginations, where we are always "Heroes.... Nobel warrior heroes."

Most that hated it where just salty she offended then, I can understand a general criticism about it being a setup for another event. However several movies in the MCU have done that, oddly enough the only 2 that are minority centric (Black Panther & Captain Marvel) are the ones that get the most hate. You can't count a few movies that are used as a plot device for Infinity War or Endgame. Antman And The Wasp, Dr. Strange, also where used basically to set up a character for a event. Ironman 3 set up Age of Ultron & Shang Chi all the way back in Phase 2. To say that Marvel was pushing characters & they were boring in the comics should be used across the board, like every character was that way. Literally Ironman was a unheard of, Thor, Ant-Man, etc.....

I'm glad you brought up emotions and how the movie plays with that theme. It was one I enjoyed and found great that they explored. Carol is human so she is supposed to have emotions. She was trained that they make her weak. As you said, they knew she was way more powerful than them. Also I love the play on emotions when it comes to women as well. Brie plays Carol as emotionless to pull off the tough guy act and because she feels it's a weakness because she doesn't know who she is. Also women are called emotional as a bad thing. It also can be tied to men as well. We aren't supposed to show emotion because it doesn't make us look tough. So it's a great theme that I loved to see. Lastly, I'm glad they showed her OP. I love seeing OP characters. It sucks that people complained about Brie not smiling and being flat because I feel that she was supposed to play the character that way but oh well. Great to have a channel that can talk about some good things when negativity sells better.

The lives of women are of being told we are "too emotional", when men going around punching drywall and it's "well, he was angry." Men aren't supposed to have "soft, feminine" emotions. No one belittles a guy for showing anger, rage, even aggression (circumstances aside). They might judge him for acting on it, for whom he directs it at, but not for having the feeling or showing it. Any emotion from a woman is "too much". That's what this story is, telling her she has to hide who she is to fit into the masculine/Kree world. They limit her power, then tell her she is only what she is because of them, then belittle her for trying to rely on her own power instead of what they "gave" her (her suit, weapons, and training). For men on a Hero's Journey the story is about going from powerless to powerful, because in the gestalt consciousness the worst thing a man can be is powerless, is weak. For Carol's story it's about overcoming the strictures, bounds, and judgements of the society around her to recognize not only her own power, but the power of relying on and working with those around her. That is the quintessential woman's empowerment story. Not training under a master and becoming better than your mentor, but recognizing, acknowledging, and embracing your own strength, your own standards, your own judgement. And this movie embodies that perfectly, and dudes can't get it because it requires, you know, seeing things from a woman's perspective, and that might lead to realizing all sorts of bad things about our society and their own actions and assumptions.

100% this. This movie hit me just right, and I think the fact that it dealt so strongly with the emotion issue is why. Being belittled for being a woman and assumed to be emotional is so draining. Also, frankly, there are so many male characters that are praised for the same sort of "tough, emotionless, quiet" schtick, so it was fun and felt novel to see it with Carol as a character. People were bashing her for emoting as much as we see captain america or superman or batman or indiana jones or boba fett, etc etc etc... that felt like just another sexist blow to female and women's existence. Makes me really glad this channel did a wins cover of it.

@@michelletheia9853 The grift pays well. We as men are told to be emotionless, so its somehow good to not emote at all (and as you pointed out, anger is fine when directed at the right things/people, cuz it's what we're good for I guess), but women are supposed to emote less.... no not like that! People are just unhappy with anything that points out these issues, on any level. I think a part of it is that we're all kinda powerless to do much about it. I can talk about how emotions are perfectly fine, behaviors are what you need to focus on, for the rest of my life... but my own footprint on that purpose will be extremely minor compared to the entire effort needed to make that change. Reactionary takes on the other hand are easy. Things already are that way, have been that way, theres history attached to them. Theres "power" in supporting them because you've been "winning" for the past however many years depending on the facet of society you focus on. Plus, you get to point at whatever issue and claim it's a result of that new change... Women are empowered and working? Clearly that's why dudes are lonely! Lack of emotional support and teaching mental health? No, it's the women, obvioisly. Theres deflection, "your problems aren't your fault!", so... it sells well... It's why the various groups such as gamergate have such allure. It's easy to just be angry, it's hard to take ownership and healthy change.

It’s the exact same criticism that was thrown the way of Kristen Stewart in Twilight and Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games. Both Bella Swan and Katniss Everdeen (in the books) are meant to be relatively emotionless characters on the outside. We read their POV and see that they are very turmoiled on the inside but they deliberately keep their emotions hidden (Bella because she’s introverted and Katniss because she self-describes as fiery and hiding her emotions keeps her safe). When the actresses then played the characters exactly how they were supposed to, everyone hated it because they stereotype women as emotional, so seeing a woman playing a role as an emotionless Keanu Reeves-type gets criticised. Larson, Lawrence and Stewart are all still getting s*** for it to this day. It’s internalised misogyny and it’s horrible.

Not only was I right, but about half of them are moments that literally appear in other MCU movies, but didn't receive any ire. Why? Because men did those things in the other MCU movies. One moment in particular is when she just yells at the alien as intimidation while her hands are still locked up. Thor literally does the EXACT same thing, yet I see Captain Marvel's moment used as an example of why her movie's bad countless times while not seeing ANY negative reaction at all to Thor doing the EXACT SAME THING. This movie simply is not as bad as the general public would have you think. They're just very closed-minded.

When you look at a lot of the complaints about captain marvels character and personality, a lot of those issues can be pointed to male characters in the MCU yet they’re still loved. I’m not saying captain marvel gets hate bc of misogyny and/or sexism but it’s kinda hard not to see how others think that it is. Also HATED how only Chadwick spoke up for Brie and not the other MCU actors/actresses but they spoke up for Chris Pratt so there’s that.

I think that's what happened in this movie - it felt done well, rather than a cop-out, especially when we wave her away as "busy" so that other beloved Marvel heroes can have the spotlight for crazy conflicts for story coherence. When all your heroes are going to win anyway (but we just don't say that out loud), why not have a hero who is just totally OP once she's figured out her powers?

Thanks for this I loved this movie, and was surprised by the controversy around it. I particularly loved the toughness of Carol's character. I have spent much of my film-watching life annoyed by films portraying female warriors as sexy and soft , or stupid. There were very few exceptions. I can only think of Ripley and Sarah Connor. The others don't make the cut for me, including Black widow, Wonder woman etc too male gazey for me. .🤷‍♀️ I was hooked by Carol's ugly war scream in battle. I was ecstatic! I remember being so disappointed in WW when gal gadot was making sexy faces _in the middle of a battle_ ! I don't mind a confident smile or smirk, but that was just too male gazey for my liking. I like a female warrior who behaves like a warrior. I could understand people feeling bored or disappointed by the movie, but people acted like Brie larson shot their dog or something. 🙄

You missed that you could actually see the real old lady getting off the train and that's how CM knew that was the skrull. It's as small detail and it was nice to see. Also a point towards light speed over jumps is when in GOtG 2 they go through multiple jumps they got some strange effects. Showing that they a) sometimes have to do over 700 jumps to get somewhere and b) shouldn't do too many at a time The too dark is seriously a big problem with a whole bunch of movies these days (Horror movies sometimes get a pass depending). That and too quiet when people talk. Personally for me this movie is middle of the pack for Marvel. Not great, but not bad. I get why people would like it more or less. Although earlier this month I unfortunately had to spend an entire day with someone who made hating CM part of their personality. I do hope to avoid that person in the future. ***Slight spoiler for Doc S 2 and Thor L&T*** I personally think that CD being overpowered isn't going to be too much of a problem going forward since there are other character getting just as if not stronger in Doc Strange 2's Wanda and Thor : Love and Thunder's Love ***Slight spoiler for Doc S 2 and Thor L&T is over***

Personally, I loved this Carol and Brie Larson (never knew of her previous stuff before this movie….Brie, not Carol. Brie’s Carol reminds me strongly of a friend I had and this portrayal made miss them. I’m partial to strong/confident, witty, badass characters and I was completely unawares or didn’t let the “controversy “ around Brie’s message ruin her Carol for me. This was easy top if not within top favs immediately. I love the friendly banter and (acting?) chemistry with Carol/Brie and Fury/Samuel…..no need for me to rave on about more what I enjoyed since it was pretty well covered in this video. Keep up the good work!

I am a big fan of the movie, and have loved seeing greater representation regardless of whether people say it feels "forced" or not. To be honest, all of Hollywood storytelling is forced. It's a cloth made of choices, even more so when it has a nine digit budget behind it. So yeah, even the eye-rolling parts are fine by me. If it made women feel good to see some version of a struggle they can identify with on a screen, I applaud it. And this movie was full of those moments. On the "other side" of the argument, I'm fine with the your charitable perspective of the anti side - up to a point. Where I stop being friendly is when groups reach the point of organized review bombing and intentional market manipulation. They'll claim "well, the movie is just bad", when it's statistically obvious the IMDB or other score systems have been systematically attacked and abused. You saw the movie and hated it? Fine, drop your one star review and complain in a long-winded rant. Totally understandable. But organizing thousands of people on forums to overwhelm systems - then claiming it as mass evidence of poor quality - is just being intentionally disingenuous and dishonest.

I know this is only a response to one of your points but I disagree about the comparison to Black Widow and Wonder Woman etc to suggest that men clearly don't have a problem with female leads/superheroes. Both of these characters were HEAVILY sexualised throughout their time on screen. They may have been badass fighters (and I love both characters) but they were also portrayed in a way to appeal strongly to men through skin tight or skimpy outfits, flirting, sexualisation, and not being outspoken about anything feminist. Captain Marvel wasn't egregiously sexualised in that way and wasn't put in skimpy clothes or made to be cute/seductive for a male audience, but rather kick-ass and strong for a female audience. That definitely played a part, in my opinion, in why there were so many men online raging about how "woke" and "men hating" the film was and so I don't think you can use those examples to claim men don't have a problem with strong female superheroes. I mean look what happened with the Black Widow movie where they significantly toned down the sexualisation of her character from the iron man films and even made her costume less sexualised - there were a tonne of men slamming the movie and saying it had "gone woke" because to these men, not focusing on making female characters sexy and attractive to a male audience is going woke, apparently...

It's so utterly okay and functional as a movie that the wave of hate for it seemed absolutely hyperbolic and childish to me. I will admit it gets kinda boring and dragged once she was on earth, but her conflict with the Kree and the Skrull's backstory plot twist I found to be genuinely enthralling concepts. As a protagonist, she was again totally fine. I even liked her! Trying to figure out her history and pushing back against the Kree was something I genuinely got behind. It seemed more like hate for the actress and peoples' fear about her place in the MCU (ie, potentially killing Thanos) that were the driving force of the hate. There's definite poor points like Nick Fury's eye and the cat in general (where did it come from again??), but I'd be *so* hard-pressed to claim the rest of it was outright "bad" lol. I mean come on Brie Larson punches an old lady! Where else are you gonna get that in the MCU??

They're training is to be ruthless, efficient, and emotionless. You complete the mission and survive, nothing else. It's no surprise many of them have severe PTSD and emotional trauma in later years with a high suicide rate. Carol Danvers was exactly like those people for the first 3/4 of the movie. Anyone who criticizes Larsen's acting because she was locked into that necessary mindset is a moron.

Technically, so is Dr. Strange if faced with an enemy that fits his realm of expertise, I.E. Magic threats. He is literally the last line of defense from specific kinds of incursions. He's a magical nuke. But in his own movie he's played off as just a kinda powerful, but cocky idiot. The Hulk was destroyed by the MCU. He has one storyline, that Ragnarok paid a bit of homage to, called World War Hulk where he literally kicks the crap out of ALL earth's heroes. In the comics Thanos and Hulk have thrown down several times, sometimes Hulk even won, but in the MCU he's ganked easily. So, why, when all these super powerful heroes were so carelessly powered down for the movies was Captain Marvel kept at full power? Edit: After rereading this I feel like I should say that I would feel the exact same way about the apparent powerlevels if this had been a Sentry movie and he had been kept at full power instead of powered down like those who came before him. Given the subject matter of much of this video it felt kind of pertinent.

Sure, it was hard enough to knock her back, but that doesn't mean a damn thing at their relative power levels. They did that on purpose, not having them actually duke it out. It kept a bit of mystery as to what level they're actually going to settle on for her. The only real evidence we have of her power is one battle in modern day MCU and a whole movie when she was just learning that hey, she's kinda special. So saying she's been powered down isn't really an accurate statement. The accurate statement is that the directors and writers have gone to great lengths to keep her actual power level in the MCU somewhat under wraps.

I found Carol Danvers a super relatable character and very emotionally expressive. Being told by (almost exclusively) men to reign in your emotions, that they're bad, need to be controlled and locked up is an everyday occurrence. When I first saw this movie it felt for the first time like it was a superhero story for me. One that GOT me. My experiences. I'd thought Wonder Woman was that movie, I liked it a lot, but it just crumbled like an illusion when I saw this. Wonder Woman felt like pandering in comparison, a bunch of execs going "what do women want" while still going out of their way to not offend anyone. This felt like it was made by someone who understood. I had such a difficult time understanding the many people complaining that she was bland, that she didn't have any emotions, that the treatment by her adoptive society trying to control her emotions was unrealistic and exaggerated. To me it really felt like it was taken straight from real life, it was SO obvious, SO clear, it wasn't even subtext, the movie was hitting you across the face with it. It reminds me of some of the criticism for Assassin's Creed 3 (I think? I'm not good with the numbers) where people were complaining about Connor having no emotions or personality, just being flat, subservient, discreet, quiet, monosyllabic. And he was. He was a mixed race black native in colonial America interacting with white folks. But (to me) still his feelings obviously shone through. And as soon as he was among kin, in safe spaces, with other black people or with his family, his personality came to the forefront. He was expressive, passionate, opinionated. And then he was back among white folk and his smile turned into a frown and his eloquence turned into "hmms" and "yes sirs". And it's wild to me how people can miss that. Anyway, enough of that. One of my favourite bits of the movie and the character is the similarity and contrast with Captain America. Yes, they'll both get knocked down over and over and get back up against impossible odds. They'll never back down or surrender. But while Captain America will do it because it's the right thing, Captain Marvel can do this all day because "fuck you, that's why!" Sure, she too has a strong conviction in right and wrong (that often clashes with Steve), and she'll also go after people for being bad, but when the going gets rough her motivation is spite and "I'm not going to be beaten by THIS jerk". And there is something very cathartic about that.

Filler words, long pauses, awkward sentence structuring, etc. are realistic and relatable to most people, but they don't make for a good viewing experience. The fact that you "got it" and most viewers didn't isn't a failure of theirs, it's a failure of the movie to properly establish common ground and put "it" into perspective for them, explain it in a way they understand. As a filmmaker you can't just expect that every viewer will have the appropriate life experience and will be able to instantly sympathize with the characters, you have to assume that they don't and build that understanding from the ground up so even if they can't sympathize, they can empathize. And you have to build this foundation without being condescending and without alienating the viewers who can sympathize. Striking this balance is the most important skill for narrative artists (and teachers for that matter, hell it's arguably the most important skill period) you can't just handwave it away because "well, it was obvious to me".

Worked at Blockbuster from 95-2000. The rental cases with the tapes went behind those cover boxes on the shelves, and the customers were asked to leave the cover boxes on the shelf even if they were taking the last rental tape. The reasoning being, this would let other customers know what the store carried, even if it was checked out at the time. There was allowance in the corporate manual for an individual store to deviate from this if they had exceptionally high shoplifting losses, but that wasn't likely, as all those "Be Kind, Rewind" stickers had embedded metallic strips that would set off the inventory control arches by the exit.

But I love plenty of cocky female characters, like Black Widow in the MCU, or Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft.

@@13thxenos Just because YOU don't hate Captain Marvel because of her gender, there are TONS of people that did hate her because of her gender. There are so many videos out there hating on her as a woman. Also, how is it unearned? That's like saying Hulk's power is unearned. They both didn't ask for it, both had to learn how to deal with it.

@@blinkachu5275 nobody hate her gender. get over yourself already. she is hated by a large amount of people, from both genders, for a reason. that "its just misogyny" crap never held any water. black widow was loved. until shes a gains, white man bad. howkaye was loved. until hes a side character in his own show and his younger female sidekick is the lead. captain marel is strog, but also an asshole. none like asshols just because they are strong.

You are definitely right. Its sucks how we live in a world where men blame women and women blame men and one race or belief to the other etc... It honestly does suck and wish we didn't have to live in a world so divided because "Someone said something I don't agree with so now I need to attack them with more of my opinions (Or just brainless verbal abuse), I just wish everyone would not necessarily all just get along but respect the other persons belief or idea (And no I'm not saying if they believe in being racist or sexist that it is good). Love you CW!

@@ephemispriest8069 Which nobody did. You will get called a misogynist, if you call a movie bad with misogynist arguments, not because you simply didn't like it. And pretending that you are somehow not allowed to dislike a movie for other reasons plays in the hand of people who do use those movies to fight some sort of culture war (or, to put it differently, to create a outrage culture in order to pull people to the right). Since I keep an eye on such channels and I am pretty sure I have seen your name in the comment section there...I don't think that you have much of a leg to stand on.

3:15 Where I lived we had Mr. Movies and Video Update, and they both had the empty retail box in front of the rentable tapes/DVDs. If all the rent copies of a movie were out you could ask if they had any more copies in the return basket, but if it wasn't on the shelf it wasn't in.

this is pretty unrelated but how does no one talk about the balls on the vulture in spiderman homecoming? for a regular man to commit heists wearing a flying suit, but also testing out the new plane locking onto in the high atmosphere tech thing they just invented that morning, its kind of insane lol just a thought I had after watching homecoming earlier, figured i'd throw it out there.
