This was after he lost the scepter and had 0 Infinity Stones to his name, and the Kree knew about Captain Marvel at the time, since this was set in the 90's and GotG was in 2014. I'm not a fan of Captain Marvel being more powerful than Thor in this universe. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, though. I would think the God-King of Asgard + Stormbreaker can't be matched hero-wise. I agree hole heartedly with this. No way any Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers it Marvell) should be stronger then Thor or Hulk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Thor did go for the head this time, the Russo Bros already said that the Infinity Gauntlet can fend off Stormbreaker if Thanos doesn't underestimate its power. It's gonna take more than who we're already seen to take him down. Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock would be a good place to start tipping the scales in the direction of heroes' victory. Edit: And we have literally half of the heroes at the beginning of this story as opposed to IW, so the odds are even worse with what's left. They need more (and more powerful) characters this time around. Actually, in a way, the current heroes are still in the process of fighting Thanos. Don’t forget that Dr. Strange saw only 1 in millions of scenarios in which Thanos is defeated. He willingly gave Thanos the time gem cause that’s what was needed to happen in order for the heroes to win. The key was saving Tony cause he has an important role to play. Otherwise Strange wouldn’t of sacrificed his stone. (This despite him telling Stark earlier on that he wouldn’t sacrifice the stone/mission for him). In essence, to triumph over Thanos, half the heroes had to ultimately pay the price (temporarily). Perhaps this causes a relieved and fulfilled Thanos to drop his guard.... philsbackpack and chrisco37 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chezmtghut Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's sad that some people are trying to give this film a bad outlook based on some comments Brie made which seem to have been taken out of context. I'm personally not a Brie fan & wish the part went to someone else, but I have no issue with the MCU giving women a larger role in phase 4-6, especially since phase 1-3 was mainly male dominated. I do hope they can keep bringing back some of the original characters for future Avengers films moving forward though.

Notice my typo: instead of “it” I meant to write “or” (I meant to include the original Captain Marvel who was a man). To me, Hulk is “the strongest there is” followed by the Asgardian GOD. I have no problem with strong female characters. I loved Claremont’s Storm. She lost her powers and was still a butt kicker who led the X-men!

Popular Post Mr Sneeze Posted February 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2019 I think a lot of the times people complaining about politics in movies are bringing that baggage in with them. Not calling out anyone in this thread, just saying. If this were pre internet we would judge the film based on it's own merits when it was released, simple as that. I'm really looking forward to seeing this film. Gate13, ComicConnoisseur, Sweet Lou 14 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’m slightly more intrigued after this trailer.

mattn792 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Samuel L. Jackson is ruining the trailer for me. Never liked him as Fury to begin with, but he seems to be channeling Die Hard 3 especially hard for Captain Marvel. jsilverjanet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a strip club I do NOT have to hire someone simply because they are a female. If they weigh 400 lbs or look like the elephant man or have two sets of sexual organs then they fall under a different set of guidelines - what’s called ‘Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQ’s). Performance based operations (like movies) can claim that certain sex’s and ethnicities are central to their production or even NOT. Even in a State like California where voters have gone against Affirmative Action in Public Universities, a performance based project can still specialize in their contracting process. If someone makes a movie about what it’s like to work in the Gay Bondage Porno Industry and decides to pepper his staff with Gay Bondage Porno... people... that... makes sense. And no one is being hired who is LESS qualified. There are unions for those productions that’s go tothemarketdownthestreetforsomeCRAZY over something like that. What will happen is, she’ll choose who she feels is best suited for the movie she wants to make. The same as most directors do. She’s just been vocal that it’ll include women, minorities and the handicapped in equal parts. Not even close to the same thing. Bye. Don’t let the door hit you in the back on the way out. ROFL wrong and thanks for proving my point. People who work in the Gay Bondage Porne Industry that are actually Gay into Bondage and the Porno Industry should be hired based on their knowledge and qualifications of the the subject not if they are white, black , asian, female or male. If you were hiring someone that was black and female who had no qualifications over a gay white male solely on color and gender that is discrimination. Of course the basketball analogy is the same thing as it points out how ridiculous it is for someone to want someone to be hired based on color or gender and not on qualifications and that is the entire point. What Brie basically said is I don't care what a white man thinks about anything. Well, good for you then I guess this white guy won't be seeing your movie and that is on her but hey, she can be a bigot as much as she wants but doesn't mean I need to support her. It is funny watching her try to backtrack her comments now because she knows she really stepped into it It's hard to hit me on the way out when I never walked in to begin with.

You're taking those words out of context from her actual statement, which was: I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time. It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of color, biracial women, to teen women of color. Am I saying I hate white dudes? No, I am not. What I am saying is if you make a movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie, and review your movie. I think the way she said it came off as arrogant, when she could have said "I wish there would have been more reviews on the film from women of color, since it was meant as a love letter to women of color", without all the backlash.
