Hopefully they work on making her character not painfully boring.
There was so much focus on those people hating the character for being a strong woman, it kinda overshadowed the fact that marvel did such a crap job with the character.
I was hyped for captain marvel at one point, then saw the movie and thought “wow, this is ass”.
I agree. When I watched Captain Marvel all I could think was “well, this green lantern movie sucks, too.”.
Make her have more fun or something.
While the sequel is definitely not the best Marvel film, her character was a lot better than in the first one. I hope they continue to write her like that.
I haven’t seen that one, it’s Marvels, right? Maybe we’ll check it out tonight. I thought America was a fun character in Dr Strange.
We keep meaning to watch Blue Beetle, too. Those movies are like the B tier in my mind.
Edit. Watching it. I forgot about Khan, and thought she was America. My bad.
It’s… better than Capt Marvel I guess.
They somehow found an actor for the villain that has even less facial expressions than Capt Marvel. I’m impressed by that.
Fury is reduced to comic relief. That’s annoying to watch.
They wrote as a male character with a female skin rather than a woman, so she can’t pull off the arrogant jock without coming across as unlikeable as its not a widely socially accepted archtype for women. It’s hard enough for charismatic male actors to do that successfully, yet alone Larsson who is not the most charismatic of actresses and starting further behind.
Think about how brash sports women are received (Serena Williams, for example) vs. brash sports men (say any number of them). It’s sexist but it is what it is
Alien did that with Ripley and everyone loves her. The character would be boring even if they were male.
If you think Ripley is a jock least of all an arrogant jock it shows how little you understand her character. Jesus’s, what part of her character in alien screams jock? She’s not even listened to until it’s too late, it’s like the polar opposite of a do all never wrong Captain Marvel in MCU. Have you even watched alien?
Really hard for anyone to pull off arrogant jock when the writing and story is that bad
This is true, but the level of hate directed at Larrson around how unlikable her character was and the constraints it places on the story of her character arc are all down to that one choice.
If they made her likeable approaching the level as the big three, far more people would have enjoyed the film, and they would have had far more options when it comes to her character arc that would have improved the story.
It’s sexist, but it is still true that women are not judged the same for men when it comes to displays of overt confidence
