Why did the Kree just stand around, guns in hand, while Carol was powering up? Why not just shoot her then and there?

You missed the second part of my post.
>In Captain Marvel she is actively becoming a threat again and they just stand around.

Except shooting her would have been useless. I mean, they have energy based weapon and he power is literally to absorb energy. what good would it have done ?

I mean, mater on, we see her take up a whole rocket. do you think a dinky gun would have made a difference ?

They don't shoot because they know they are fucked.

>her power is literally to absorb energy
Was it really, though? The only power absorption that happened in the movie was getting her powers in the first place. After that she just has generic pew pew beams.
>I mean, mater on, we see her take up a whole rocket.
Right. After they stood around and let her power up to begin with.

It's against the Space Geneva Convention.

Does that explain the Kree not just shooting the Skrulls instead of making a big show of marching them to the airlock

>Was it really, though?
Yes. it's one of the most basic Captain MArvel's power. Anyone who know a little about the hcaracter know that.
>After that she just has generic pew pew beams.
Because she had a damperer limiting her powers.

>Right. After they stood around and let her power up to begin with.
It's not so much powering up, but rather letting the the energy inisde of her out. to attack. Because she can use it. Because an other of her power is Energy manipulation. Not to defend. She never needed to "power up" to defend herself.

Are we about to have a Holocaust thread again?

This is Yea Forums, so there's a reasonable chance that the answer is "Yes" at all times.

they didn't think it was possible for her to escape and were obviously trying to re-convert her

True fact, but did you knew even trained soldier have dificulty to kill. Only when they are under fire and their life is at risk is it easier to pull the trigger. And even then, during WW1, there was issue f soldier purposely missing.

You might be a Kree Soldier, but killing unarmed women and children is not something most can pull easily (those who can are enlisted with Ronan's zealot). Much more easier it is to put them in an airlock, push a button and let the void do the killing. Sure, the result is the same, but the amount of step added help things out.

You might have heard of thr trolley problem, but it's quite similar: You can push one fat people to stop a trolley to kill 5 other people, one life instead of 5 seems like the right thing, but most people asked about that thought experiment will tell that they can not push fatso.

On the other hand, if one person is tied on on track, and five person on an other track and the only action you can do is push the lever to orient the trolley toward the 5 or 1 person track, those same people will push the lever so the trolley crush the 1 person tied. It's basically the same equation, but the result is different.

The airlock is less straining on the Kree soldier than an outright execution. That the human (or Kree) nature.
Also, it save on ammos.

I managed to make an answer without mentioning the holocaust or even WW2, there: Where is my prize ?

Except, you know, when she literally gain her powers.

Are you dense? That doesn't count. That was the cause of her powers, not an effect of them.

That's odd, I thought their technique was about making consistently enjoyable movies...

>That doesn't count because I say so
Not how it works, user.

By that logic, these two have power absorption abilities as well.

Attached: 78484.png (237x239, 98K)

They didn't get their power in a explosion, so no. Fuck they literally got their power off-screen. Also, energy absorption is literally one of the most basic power of Captain Marvel.

>Also, energy absorption is literally one of the most basic power of Captain Marvel.
Which, again, was not included in the movie. At no point does she absorb power as part of her abilities.

She gained the power to absorb energy, which allowed her to absorb the energy of the explosion instead of being killed by it.

At this point, her power is well documented and the Krees didn't shoot because they already knew they would be wasting ammos.

>again, was not included in the movie
see The very first thing she did when gaining her power was absorbing the energy of the explosion. Just say you didn't see the movie.

>She gained the power to absorb energy, which allowed her to absorb the energy of the explosion instead of being killed by it.
Sequential causality events do not work that way, user.

It's precisely how it worked. You saying she was never seen absorbing energy is literally contradicted by the movie.

It's okay to admit you are wrong, user.

If the big energy blast had hit her before tshe gained the power to absorb energy, she would be dead. this is exactly how Sequential causality events work.

I never said she never absorbed energy. I said she never absorbed energy AS PART OF HER ABILITIES.

Absorbing the tesseract's power gave her her other abilities, but that act of absorption was not an ability in of itself. She cannot have a power before she is granted it. Any Joe Shmuck could have been standing there and it would have had the same effect.

>She gained the power to absorb energy, which allowed her to absorb the energy of the explosion instead of being killed by it

That doesn't really follow. She absorbed that particular explosion, but we have no reason to assume that's supposed to be a universal thing she can just do with all energy afterward.

Carol absorbed that green energy blast from the Supreme Intelligence and the energy from Mar-Vell's spaceship, she only started flaring up after the Supreme Intelligence attacked her. that's how she overloaded that inhibitor thing on her neck and escaped. they even show the scene where she first absorbed the power of the warp engine just to drive the point home.

But she was powering up before that happened. Nothing to do with absorption.

Even if did have energy absorption, which she didn't, they could have just stabbed her.

I just thought her powers were flaring up in the real world as she mentally resisted until they overloaded the inhibitor and shit on their own.

>. I said she never absorbed energy AS PART OF HER ABILITIES.
If she absorbed eneregy, THEN IT IS A PART OF HER ABILITIES. Other wise, the explosion would have killed her.
>but we have no reason to assume that's supposed to be a universal thing
Wrong apporach of thing. there is zero reason to believe that she could only do it once. In sotry telling, it's exceptions who have to be established. otherwise, if someone id able to do something once, thye can do it several time.

>Even if did have energy absorption, which she didn't
Yes, she has.
>they could have just stabbed her.
You think she would have let them do ?

I guess literally everyone on Earth has energy absorption powers, then.

>You think she would have let them do ?
While she's restrained and distracted? Yes. That's the entire point of this thread.

>I guess literally everyone on Earth has energy absorption powers,
Are you a moron ? please check your brain and realise nothing in what I said can lead you to that conclusion.

Try stabbing a hot reaction engine and see what happens. Just because she is restrained doesn't mean she can still be close at.

I don't know, man. If everyone who got blasted by magic plot energy got universal energy absorption powers, it'd be a lot more common of a power.

How do you even get to that conclusion ?

>Any Joe Shmuck could have been standing there and it would have had the same effect.

>>Any Joe Shmuck could have been standing there and it would have had the same effect.
Yes ? But not because they are joe smuck, but because of the nature of the lightspeed Engine. it's Carol who happened to be there. You still fail to make a point.

naah, she's clearly absorbing energy from the ship and from the Supreme Intelligence's blast. how else do you explain the cuffs and the electric cell powering down?

You just made my point for me, and it's funny you don't see that.

see and eat shit

>how else do you explain the cuffs and the electric cell powering down?
Interference from her powering up.
Besides, how could the supreme intelligence be actually powering her up? they're having a long distance phone call.

>shit that never happens in cape movies should become the norm because I loved broly's movie and it's room full of nubile kids

>You just made my point for me
>fail at making any point
>try to pretend to have won.
not how it works user. sorry, but there is nothing in what I said that prove you right. Also see

It becomes more funny the more you don't realize it.

Is still didn't happen in this movie either see.Shooting Carol with energy weapons would have been useless.

>Interference from her powering up.
>I am going to give the wrong interpretation so that I can keep being angry about a non-existent issue.
Go get laid.

Still doesn't explain why they don't just stab her.

Or hell, why they didn't just kill her as soon as she defected.

because the kree still want to use her.

>ow could the supreme intelligence be actually powering her up?
You are right, when Suprme intelligence attack her there is no actual effect and SI just do it because it look pretty.

that or maybe inter-stellar communication are energy muncher and she is using her tentacles connection to her body to fry her ? who know ?

It makes sense. I just don't think it's actually articulated clearly enough. I mistook it for her powers shorting stuff out and interfering with stuff initially.

for... more defecting?

seeAt the moment she get free she is already too hot to get close.

For using her power. doofus.

Why its not like she's unique. I mean its like she got her powers from an Exploding Space Car. Just blow up another one around someone.

I thought it was interference too. She's already at a motivation upswing before she gets blasted, it seems like she's just powering up in the face of adversity.
Stab her BEFORE she gets loose, genius.

But she's already defected. She's only going to use her power against you. Keeping her alive isn't in your best interests.

Magical girl henshin sequence gives you invul when happening.

It REALLY doesn't look like she's absorbing power here. It looks like she's winning a mental battle with the Intelligence and powering up as a result of that victory, not the fight itself. If they wanted it to look like she was absorbing the ship's power they should have made the lights fade, not flicker, and not made the cuffs crackle. That looks like interference/overloading more than anything else.

unlikely. here she's already powered up and she's absorbing the electricity from the power lines and when she powers down, it stops. if there was "interference" the power lines wouldn't flare up like they did.

>writting
ironic

Yeah, no, that looks NOTHING like absorption and EVERYTHING like overloading from her presence.

and what is that supposed to look like?

WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE A DANCE OFF?

...absorption? Moving from one location to another? Those lines are just crackling, if she was absorbing it they should be connecting with her.

but her powers don't cause machinery to malfunction, on the contrary it powers them up, like what she did to Yon-Rogg's dropship.

Because she touched a specific spot on the ship: the engine.

M8, it's powering shit up that causes it to malfunction. That's what overloading is.

doesn't look like interference or malfunctioning.

Why did you post this? We already went over this here: Besides, we're not talking like that's all her powers do. I think you're confused about the discussion here.

Ok? One bad example doesn't cancel another out.

>Stab her BEFORE she gets loose
Again, try stabbing something that will make melt your arm.

I hate autistic discussions like this. You're arguing about this one moment as if your view of the entire movie depends on that one fucking moment. That shows insecurity of both sides in their respective opinions.
>I-I can't admit it's a plot hole! I already know this movie has lots of them! So at least let me have this one to try and convince myself I like it!!!
>I-I can't accept any sort of explanation for this! If this is not an actual plot hole then I am unjustified in my initial negative reaction! I cannot be wrong!!!

>But she's already defected.
Nothing a good concussion can't fix.>It REALLY doesn't look like she's absorbing power here.
Except it does. And we also saw her absorbing energy when she first got her power.

You are making a point oof interpreatating everything wrong just so you can keep complaining, which really make you look dumb.

>that looks NOTHING like absorption
It look exactly like absorbing.

Again, we saw her absorbing energy TO get her powers, not using her powers to absorb that energy. Anyone could have taken her place and gotten the same result.

Be fair, at least Trunks tried it during Cell's transformation scene.

(Let's try that post again)
>Except it does.
>It look exactly like absorbing.
I live in fear of the extradimensionally-originating kitchen sponges you've both observed.

>Again, we saw her absorbing energy TO get her powers
And, AGAIN, she can't absorb the energy of the explosion if she doesn't gain the power to absorb the energy FIRST. You still have failed to prove that wrong. Further more, we see later that she absorb other source of energy in the movie.

> Anyone could have taken her place and gotten the same result.
Indeed, thus the incident is what gave her the power to absorb energy. You keep backing my point, there.

ell, you tried and you failed.
I think you should add a bit of logic to your thinking process and you'd realise you are not making any points, there.

>she can't absorb the energy of the explosion if she doesn't gain the power to absorb the energy FIRST
She doesn't need a power to do that. She does it as a normal human being, thus my comment about a replacement getting the same effect. We've already seen other normal human beings absorb infinity stone energy.

>She does it as a normal human being, thus my comment about a replacement getting the same effect.
You are missing the point. the incident IS what gave her the power to absorb energy.
>We've already seen other normal human beings absorb infinity stone energy.
We have also seen normal human dying of explosion. Iron Monger anyone ?

>She doesn't need a power to do that.
Yes, she does, or she would die like the Iron Monger did. the first contact with the explosion granted her the power to absorb and manipulate energy which

which allowed her to absorb and survive the explosion.

No matter what, we see her absorb the energy of the explosion and later on, we see her absorb other source of energy. please just admit you were wrong. and that shooting her with energy weapons would have been useless.

the fuck does iron monger have to do with an infinity stone

This is what some of y'all are trying to argue.

Attached: Untitled.png (639x527, 175K)

Iron Monger didn't absorb the energy he died in. Absorbing energy is not a normal human power.

Iron Monger wasn't absorbing infinity stone energy. That's what we're talking about.

Uh no. the initial contact with the explosion granted her absorbing power which allowed her to absorb it all. It's not that complicated. I mean, if she only gained it later, she would be dead.

>Iron Monger wasn't absorbing infinity stone energy
Neither was Carol. Light speed engine was not the Tesseract, itself.

It's a common theory that Stark's father was inspired by the Tesseract to create the ARC engine, though.

how did the little girl know how to redesign the uniform with just a few beep boops of a nondescript control screen

She observed Carol doing it first. I guess it's a rather intuitive interface.

>little black girl confirmed for being Task Master
Again, with the race and gender bending.. When will they stop ?

lmao

why did the mom make a bunch of good points about not going on the mission and then go anyway

Because They really needed an additional pilot and she was the only one Carol could trust. Also, a part of her wanted to go in the first place.
