The trope of learning how to use powers in the face of danger has been around for a long time before captain marvel. Captain America uses Thor’s hammer without any training and summons lightening with it but no one has a problem with that

It's irrelevant when discussing how re-watchable a movie is. If you re-read my posts, I'm conveying that "most" people agree that they're better, not everyone.

Odin explained how Mjolnir works in the first Thor movie. We saw Captain America develop as a character through 6 movies, and it was teased that he was worthy in Age of Ultron. How are these 2 situations remotely similar?

Using the internet to determine what "most people" prefer when it comes to one movie over another is pretty debatable, I'd say. Not saying you're wrong -- it's very possible that more people like something like Man of Steel over Captain Marvel. But these movies are distributed globally, and while I can agree that box office receipts alone don't mean the movie is quality, it definitely is an indicator that a lot of people around the world saw the movie and liked it. You don't get to a billion dollars just because everyone sees it on the first weekend.

Anyway, for the folks who haven't seen it yet, I thought James Gunn's The Suicide Squad was fantastic.

What about home media sales? I think that the amount of people interested in owning a copy is a good indicator of how much people want to re-watch it. Especially over the past 15 years when DVD/Blu-ray/Digital prices haven't really changed.

The DC movies are also a good counterpoint in some cases. Like in Man of Steel, in about 30 seconds he goes from jumping really far via super strength to supersonic flight via force of will. You can't spell Superman without Sue, I guess.

Meh. There have been more than a handful who have donned the Captain America mantle, including Barnes and Wilson. They made a new character, so I can't be judgmental. Will she be written well and popular? Who knows?

Yep, Marvel is doing what all the fanboys want and creating new characters. But guess what ... people still judge and complain.

Yeah, might be a great series, but a minority female Captain America? Come on..... This is the definition of Wokeness for their agenda. Females can do it better mentality. Whatever. As long as they leave our beloved original characters alone I'm fine with them making new characters but cant they come up with something original?

Speaking about minorities, hell, I just got back from Miami and I was the minority there...

You have no idea of what is going on unless you read it. She is not replacing Cap. None of them are (there are 5).

That's a loaded question. 1v1 combat with no backwards time-travel? Yes. Otherwise, The Flash can simply run him out of existence.

Being a white male is a prerequisite for Steve Rogers, not Captain America. I don't see the cover saying that she's any better than the other Caps. This is extremely weak criticism.

Ok guys. I know what's happening in the real world right now. It just trinkles down into other parts of society starting with conditioning through tv, movies, book/comics, music, school curriculums, etc. In other words, its all agenda related.

Communism, political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production (e.g., mines, mills, and factories) and the natural resources of a society. Communism is thus a form of socialism—a higher and more advanced form, according to its advocates. Exactly how communism differs from socialism has long been a matter of debate, but the distinction rests largely on the communists’ adherence to the revolutionary socialism of Karl Marx.clickable text

This is happening now.

You know what Winston Churchill also said?


"Germany's unforgivable crime before the second world war," Churchill said," was her attempt to extricate her economic power from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit." (Churchill to Lord Robert Boothby, quoted in the Foreword, 2nd Ed. Sydney Rogerson, Propaganda in the Next War
2001, orig. 1938.




Not the eradication of Jews, but getting rid of the Jewish Banking System from Germany was the "Unforgivable sin." These same people that own the banking systems are also the same ones pushing the WOKE agenda. First it was the "White privilege" movement then the "I'm ashamed to be white" agenda, and then the "It's toxic and bad to be a Straight White Male." Now they are taking our beloved comic book characters away and changing their races and genders because "it's bad" that they are white.

This is what is going on in society today. All I said above is true. Research it.

BTW General Patton said the following, then later died from a mysterious crash...

But I digress.

I'll stop my ranting now before I get banned, even though all I said above is history and written down as truth. We just have to connect the dots.
