“How did Fury make it this far with two eyes as an idiot” LMAOOOOOOOOO

First marvel movie to prominently feature a cat? UM... Black Panther?

Gotta admit, that Dashlane plug in the end was so well woven in. Best ad ever

That transition into the Dashlane ad was beautiful

One has never subverted my expectations as harshly as Matt with the sponsor's introduction

Let's see Nando fix the dumpster fire that was Dark Phoenix.

*FOR I AM THE CHOSEN OF TALOS STORM CROWN, BORN OF THE NORTH!!!*

"Can you turn into a filing cabinet?" "Wh-why would I do that..?" Favorite moment in the whole thing. Also still waiting/hoping for Secret Invasion to happen.

Really been looking forward to this one: that moment in particular felt like one of many parts where the writing pulled in too many different directions at once when it really should have fully commited to one.

This channel is basically Belated Media's "What if the Star Wars Prequels Were Good?" series but all the time. I love it.

Once again Nando makes me sad that he isn't writing for marvel /:

Veranke being Talos' daughter actually sets up an awesome potential story thread: (Spoilers for Secret Invasion) In the comics, Veranke spent most of the arc disguising herself as Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman, who, in that timeline, was Carol's best friend. If Veranke in the MCU was all of A) the villain, B) someone who was impersonating Carol's friend (could be Rambeau, her daughter, or some other MCU hero, although I'd love Drew to join the MCU) and C) the daughter of someone she helped survive, thus making Carol indirectly responsible for the Secret Invasion, you could make that movie/event completely BREAK Carol's spirits, and would be an interesting place to put her in for another movie.

It’s almost as if another skrull was impersonating Talos at the end.

I know you say "I think in an earlier draft they were planning on doing this" a lot. but I have to say. this time I agree. it makes so much sense. it fit's the ending of the movie perfectly. now I'm kind of mad that some producer changed it.

I remember in the theater leaning over to my friend and saying “he’s definitely about to get shot” and then he got shot about 0.5 seconds later

Also, the second point you mentioned helps Carol to be an actual likeable character, making her someone that leaves behind her own happiness to help others (as a hero would do)

Talks gets shot. He lies down. His daughter turns to him. He opens his mouth for his last words. "I love you 3000."

Before seeing Avengers: Endgame I watched Captain Marvel again and actually thought that Talos died at the end of the movie, until... well, I realized I'd misremembered. It's as if I subconsciously changed the ending for myself because, you're right, it's actually better that way.

You make a brilliant argument how this was definitely changed, and for the worse.

Greatest tie-in ad that I’ve seen from you yet

Nando: The Trouble With Talos... Me: Who the heck is Talos? Nando: Exactly.

I take all of you movie changes as my own personal canon

"I think talos originally died and they kept him alive for the sequel" They cashed that coupon quick

fury typing in computer: Talos initiative

So here’s an idea I’ve had for keeping the skrulls as persecuted refugees while also letting us have Secret Invasion somewhere down the line: First off, the skrulls decide to come back to Earth because they learn that the place is lousy with superhumans and that despite not being spacefaring they successfully stopped two out of of Thanos’s invasions and completely destroyed him the last time. If the Kree start any trouble there, the natives will handle it. However, Earth’s populous is on edge after all that’s happened there. To be fair, the entire universe is dealing with half of everyone disappearing for five years, but Earth’s been having to cope with a lot more than that in recent year’s, like multiple Invasions, an army of murderbots attempting to wipe everyone out with a dropped city, the revelations Norse gods are real and that the wealthiest and most technologically advanced nation is in the heart of a continent that had been previously ravaged by colonialism. People are a bit spooked. On top of that, beginning after the first snap, but increasingly after the last, kids have been suddenly changing during puberty, sometimes causing destruction, sometimes just making them look weird, other times in ways that are less visible yet still making them potentially powerful. All of this chaos and upheaval is leading people to be on edge. Then a skrull is found. And killed. This is made public and the Green Scare begins. A faction of the skrull believe they need to retaliate. There’s your Secret Invasion setup.

People dislike the reveal of how Fury lost his eye because of how it was referenced as a big deal in Winter Soldier.

Great stuff, Matt. Easily my favorite channel on KZfaq. Thanks for the cool content and inspiration to keep writing.

They mentioned in the movie how there are other Skrull refugees out in space. My idea is that in the future marvel/Captain Marvel movie, they will have these Skrulls invade the earth and fight those current Avengers (Secret Invasion). However, Carol feels like she can find a peaceful agreement between this new set of Skrulls, but some of the other Avengers don’t. This causes a riff between the group which causes the comic book storyline (loosely based) Civil War II. I think it would be cool to make a Captain Marvel 2 or 3 or avengers secret invasion/Civil War II movie out of this. Of course just an idea.

The movie was alright, but I really hated how Fury lost his eye. I'm not usually petty over things like this, but I always imagined he was betrayed by someone or lost his eye during a battle like in the comics. It just makes Fury seem like an idiot and takes away a lot of the mystery and intrigue behind his character. I can't watch that scene in Winter Soldier ('the last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye') without cringing now.

I'm sorry, but I REALLY didn't like how Fury lost his eye to in Captain Marvel.

I agree, Talos is not part of the 8 divines

Fix Shazam! Even though I think it’s perfect there’s always room for improvement

In keeping with Nando's video I'm adding this. -Talos wears the gold, red, and blue color scheme signaling he is leader in the movie. -Talos dies. -Carol dawns same color signaling she's leader now and takes off with skrulls. End credits scene shows Fury looking through Carol's photos and her plane says "Cap. Carol 'Marvel' Danvers". Also somewhere in there is a line about how she'll be Talos' *Avenger* against the Kree, and Fury remembers that word as he changes the initiative's name.

As someone who doesn't like the character of Captain Marvel (and a lot of things about the movie, honestly), this would be an improvement. Give Carol more of a concrete arc, give Fury some more significance to the plot, make it more obvious that the Skrull may be villains in the future, good stuff. Still wouldn't like how Mar-Vell was handled and what not, but you can't have everything.

Was honestly expecting a "Skrulls aren't Skrulls/ Yon-Rogg isn't Yon-Rogg" video, but it definitely doesn't have the same ring to it Edit: wow look at all those likes. Do I link a soundcloud or something?

The more I watch these videos about Captain Marvel, the more I realise, this film could have been great.

what I love about nando is that he connects everything in a thematic perspective. he always connects it to the comics however the flaw in this is that marvel takes inspiration from the comics not direct interpretation. theres a difference which is why while nando's version sounds so much better Marvel has a different plan that they are gonna do

Can you pitch more movies please

“Don’t let anyone tell you you’re too emotional” Was literally only mentioned, referenced, or addressed once in the movie

I don't know if you've seen far from home but, Talos was Fury the whole time.

me @3:23 thinking "you better say the daughter harbors hate over his death which will eventually lead to Secret Invasion," me @7:41 yelling like Thor "YESSS!!!"

Excited for Secret Invasion! Love the character you gave Fury and Carol!

That sponsor transition is smooth asf

Here's an idea: Talos' death sets his daughter on the path to becoming the new leader of the Skrulls, eventually becoming the MCU's version of Queen Veranke and kicking off the Secret Invasion in the aftermath of Endgame.

0:16 Black Panther: Am I a joke to you???

you make a lot of sense... i think this could all happen in the future if Talos is killed in the future, and i still feel Captain Marvel works pretty well how it is.

I think Secret Invasion could be a great Captain Marvel 2. It could be the next Civil War. Cap comes back from doing space stuff and has to figure out which of the people she’s saved the universe with that one time are real. It lets Marvel use a bunch of the secondary Avengers and builds up a bond of trust to justify the next Avenger team-up.

I love how the way you want to introduce M.O.D.O.K.

The Secret Invasion Wars thing can have a pretty simple motivator: The universe now knows Earth killed Thanos. Skrulls flood the Earth in order to copy these all powerful beings that killed Thanos, so they can have their own defense, means to conquer a place to call their own, and maybe expand/take back what they have lost for the sake of revenge. They realize that they can't really copy their skills though, and start experiments that end up creating Super Skrulls. It's right there and it writes itself. However it will still be a completely missed opportunity to not have a single 5 seconds scene of a Skrull going "can't believe she bought the nice guy act" or something. As usual, a very good rewrite, however I think it misses the movie greatest short coming that Captain Marvel neither gains nor learns anything in this movie because she doesn't have a villain that challenges her in any of her beliefs. That's what needed a rewrite the most

I wonder why they left him alive... COUGH APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING COUGH

I totally agree. It felt like Talos was supposed to die but they changed their minds. But Talos was so cool I see why they kept him.

49 sekonds ago huh? i feel special now

I thought it only hit him in the shoulder. Shoulder shot is not life threatening. Also, that was a super smooth Dashlane plug.

Dude. Why isn't Marvel paying you to sit in the writer's room and help hash these things out? Every single "one change" idea you've ever proposed is sheer brilliance. I'm not even kidding here. You have a gift.

Can we just applaud the great transition from the video the the sponsorship segment?

I feel like they saved Talos for future purposes which is inevitable I guess. It's the same situation where I wished they didn't show old Steve and just cut at Bucky's realisation of what Steve did, then show us the dance. That would have been my dream ending for EG, where they don't show us closure. The passing of the shield felt really slow and forced for me, but they did it for set-up. I also really thought they were going to do Talos = Rhodey. Maybe Maria has a photo of her late father who looks like Rhodey (or the other way around), while Talos decided to turn into him and the Skrulls stay low on Earth. Rhodey (Talos) being in the air force could easily be him learning from Marvell and Maria's air force background.

I haven't watched this video before Far From Home. And now I'm coming back from the cinema looking for content.

It's made pretty clear that Carol feels partly responsible for the Skrull's plight. And protecting the Skrull, ending the Skrull/Kree war was Mar-Vell's dying wish. I can understand her motivation for leaving the earth. And her being on earth makes the planet a target for the Kree, who would like their weapon back. By leaving the planet with the Skrull, and as far as anyone knows taking the tesseract with them, she's removing the last reason the Kree would have for being interested in the earth.

How could you forget that Murph was introduced in Spider-Man: Homecoming back in 2017?

That Dashlane segue was smooth as butter. I had no clue you were shifting to an ad till you said sponsor.

Imagine if they make a movie where the Avengers find some violent Skrulls and they want to deal with them but Carol says "No, the Skrulls are a good race and they're under my protection" and they get in an argument about whether or not they should deal with the Skrulls or not, leading to a divide in the team and sort of meshing Civil War II and Secret Invasions.

The segway to the dashlane sponsor was amazing

Great video. Totally agree. And also, that pitch transition is smooth as silk.

Yo Nando, how many self promos do you want in the video? Nando: Yes

That segue into the ad reading was smooth as butter 10/10

Honestly smoothest ad transition I've ever seen

Just that segue into the ad is better than most movies!

Love it! Great way to have your cake and eat it too as far as setting up the Skrulls as future MCU antagonists.

YOU DARE QUESTION THE WORD OF OUR LORD, THE MIGHTY TALOS?!

Hats off for a smooth sponsor transition. 👍

Nice Dashlane Segway. Flawless execution.

"You have this Kree part of her that's unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive. Then there's this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It's the thing that gets her in trouble, but it's also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her."

captain marvel couldve easily been written as a one punch man esque character and it wouldve been a lot more fun than the captain marvel we got, would be hella fun to see captain marvel punch a guy into the next dimension but struggle to dial the right number in a phone booth

Great plan, but Talos’ death suffered the same thing that happens to all MCU deaths: they realize that they like the character too much, and they miraculously survive

You know what I'm gonna say, that release the Nando cut thing, you know it already.

Wow, what a transition at the end. well done

You really got me with that dashlane segway! Well done!

They made Mar-vell an old woman and Spectrum a fatherless child who looks up to Carol Danvers.

What would have been better is if Fury's eye was damaged because of Captain Marvel. Let's say Captain Marvel thought Fury was a skrull and decided to shoot his eyes and damaged it and that's what caused Fury to not trust most heroes! That would have made it feel more relatable and awesome!

The vid we’ve Been waiting for

Are we all going to ignore the fact that they straight up call it SHIELD in the 90's and they only decided to call it SHIELD in IronMan 1.

I agree with what your saying but I am glad there is an opening to see more Talos in future

My brother, his wife and I just saw captain marvel tonight and we had almost the exact same thoughts. Like that scene stuck with us and seemed to have some of greater importance but was diminished by Talos not dying. And A++++ on that add transition. It was smoother than butter.

I’d just like to say that this is the first movie related video I’ve watched in a couple months that didn’t have “One Marvelous Scene” in the title.

I literally said this as I was walking out of the film too. I turned to my friends and said "I thought Talos would die and his daughter would've looked up in pure hatred to his killers and that would've set up the Kree / Skrull war with her growing up to be the leader of the Skrull side. Didn't think far enough to get the name and Secret Invasion tie-in (tbh most Skrulls in the Marvel U besides the big well known Super Skrull, I tend to forget about lol) but the general idea seems like a huge missed opportunity.

We literally have the same idea when it comes to the Skrulls going forward, Talos's daughter is Veranke, one thing I'd add is have Veranke become Maria Hill. Now stay with me, so after Endgame when Hill gets put in charge of SWORD (built during phase 4 as a defence against future space threats aka Galactus, Annihilus, etc) Veranke is then in the perfect position to sneak Skrull ships into earth, being SWORD'd director, when War Machine is discovered as a Skrull the assault mobilises and the skrulls come out of the wood work, including Veranke who abandons the Maria Hill persona, pushing the story passed the midpoint, and solidifying the new avengers as there own team, pulling them together as they know they can trust each other. Phase 4 - New Avengers Secret Invasion (Veranke) Phase 5 - New Avengers Kang Dynasty (Kang) Phase 6 - New Avengers Doomsday (Dr Doom)

This is your best plug yet

Give this man an oscar

I have to say, your cinematic evolution into a logical extension of an escalating Cree/Skrul war. Very logical and leaves open a storyline as long as phase 3‼️ Well done, very well done‼️‼️‼️

That has to be the smoothest transition into an add read I've ever seen.

My change to captain marvel would be this When the Kree first attacked the skulls Talos’ family is killed so he and an army of Skrulls begin a war against the Kree leading him to be a sympathetic villain and could lead the way to secret invasion and at the end she is forced to leave earth to continue to break up the war

I feel like this is setting up Talos's kid becoming radicalized. That's the payoff I thought of when I first saw the movie and am hoping that holds

Making the Skrulls blameless victims was such a garment shredding change for me. I like this idea of making them both bad again.

Somebody please give Nando at least a consulting job on the MCU.

"The last time I trusted a cat, I lost an eye!"

"I didn't mind the 🐱 cat eye thing"... VILLA has left the chat in disappointment

If I was writing, I would have the children of the refugees be bitter that they have been exiled from everywhere and are forced on the run. As such they then follow the secret invasion storyline. Talos dying would make him a war icon that they can elevate for their cause

Captain Marvel is a movie where a lot of things don't work, so while I think this is an excellent change, I'm not sure how much it improves the entire movie. That being said, I think one of its main problems is that it really doesn't commit to any of the things it wants to do, and the problem you address in this video is emblematic of that, so this is a great fix as usual!

What if the resource the Skrull want are the abilities of our heroes to help fight their war off of Earth with a little bit of "you might not have killed my father but you did fail to save him" thrown in for personal motivation. You could almost turn it into a planet-hopping adventure where each of our heroes has copies out in the universe, but it's not clear if the copy is on Earth or the ones wrecking face on another world.
