>besieged movie studios have learned how to deal with online turmoil. With hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, the Walt Disney Co. empire—and Larson herself—struck back.
>the number of teams at the major Hollywood studios dedicated to countering online trolling has swollen from just a handful to as many as 40, said Marc Karzen, lead strategist at RelishMix, which tracks online activity and advises studios on tactics.
I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be.
Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played brilliantly by Brie Larson. I became an instant fan watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can't be impressed. Viewers were literally cheering for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen. Jude Law is also quite good, and so are Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch.
But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so hilarious that it was really difficult to stop laughing.
Visual effects are excellent, and the IMAX 3D viewing just elevated them. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is impressive, especially the train sequence. I would call it one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is top notch and really manages to make you laugh.
Captain Marvel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a terrific manner. The directors have done a great job with the characterization of Captain Cunt, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so good. The pace is brisk, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing unsuitable for kids..
Probably my fault. I've been collecting posts for the past couple of weeks. I put them in an email to Marvel Studios' PR firm, which you can find with some googling. They know Yea Forums exists and know what Yea Forums is. They probably did before I emailed them but at least they have a better understanding of it now. I also explained some of the board culture and political motivations to them. They said they would look into it and thanked me. They offered two free tickets to Captain Marvel and I turned them down. I don't even care about the movie I just want to see this place destroyed. I've been on Yea Forums since 2006 and I wish everyday that someone would just buy the site, shut it down, and sit on the domain for the next 50 years. Here's to wishing. Fuck every single one of you.
They actually started the controversy back after the very first trailer was released..
That whole "she doesn't smile" bullshit that made headlines and was caused by incel trolls?
Apparently in the movie there's a scene where a man on a motorcycle says to Brie "give me a smile hunnie" that was confirmed to not be a reshoot.
The "Brie doesn't smile" trolling was Marvel. They created the faux outrage.

Regardless of quality or lack thereof, only a pathetic cuck gives money to people who overtly express their hatred for you.

I only speak for myself. I personally disliken the notion that valid criticism of a franchise flick is condemned as trolling, when said franchise is morally and creatively bankrupting cinema. I dont mid these politically laden action flicks. I mind that smaller studios and independent films cant compete with the juggernaut that is disney. Furthermore, the amount of socalled journalists jumping to the defense of this film, shows how entertainment for teenagers is heavily monetized and politicized.

I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really not worth a watch. It's just bland and visually unimpressive, exactly what it was meant to be.
Just keep this in mind that it's an boring origin story so don't go looking for an entertaining story. It's just a mediocre action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played horridly by Brie Larson. It became an instant turn off watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to not pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can be impressed. Viewers were literally doing nothing for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen. Jude Law is also quite good, and so are Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch.
But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so OK that it was really difficult to start laughing.
Visual effects are alright, and the IMAX 3D viewing just made em slightly better. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is bland, especially the train sequence. I would call it one of the major low point of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really unimpressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is meh and really manages to make you stare.
Captain Marvel has a Green Lantern origin story presented and executed in a bland manner. The directors have done a bad job with the characterization of Captain Marvel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so mediocre. The pace is...there, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing suitable for kids.

They don't care about the 12 crazy people on Yea Forums. They care about the literally tens of millions of views Brie hate videos are getting on YouTube. It's a cottage industry at this point.
What a pathetic life you lead, user. Even your "revenge" fantasy is lame.

I don't, they told me this movie is not for me so i just don't watch it.
It just that simple

I've never really given much of a fuck about the controversy surrounding this movie, but the way the media and tech giants banded together to delegitimize criticism of this movie has been eye opening. And this is coming from someone you guys would consider far-left.

They're not countering a godamn thing Captain Marvel will forever be in the shadow of controversy. That's all anybody knows now and it's all anybody's going to recall ten years from now.
They should have to write on the board 'I will not bolster my film turned ultimatum on the back of an overly boisterous cunt who weaponizes her audience' 100 times.

The funniest part about this article is them blatantly shilling. It's not even a secret anymore - Disney admits to hiring shills for damage control.
What a disaster.

anyone being paid 5 cents an hour to shill for captain marvel is definitely an incel, like yourself.

You.
Yes, you. The one screaming, "Brie Larson is toxic" and "Her movie is shit!" and other slurs I dare not mention. Tread lightly.
You are one. We are hundreds, thousands. Millions. You aren't just IN the minority; you ARE the minority.
I don't feel awkward or anxious going to watch Captain Marvel at least five times around others, and your words don't affect me. Many others, however, are coming out of their shells for the first time in their lives. This is the first time many are enjoying the beautiful movie that has been made for us - and it IS powerful. Incredibly so. DON'T ruin this for them. We Captain Marvel fans may have our differences, but we will not hesitate to come to the aid of our fellow fans, especially against someone who so virulently slurs that which has brought us all together.
Don't take this the wrong way. I don't hate you. I don't fear you.
I pity you.
I'm sorry that you feel this way towards us. I'm sorry that Captain Marvel and Brie are such a bane to your existence. And I'm sorry that you are missing out on such a wonderful experience. Mostly, though, I'm sorry that you feel the need to go around and publicly chastise and berate others. I'm sorry that, to ensure your own validity, you need to make others feel invalid. I'm sorry that your self-worth is so infinitesimally miniscule that you have to make others feel less-than-human, at least in your own denatured mind, just to feel whole. I am truly sorry that day-in and day-out you have to put up with your worthless, meaningless, Shakespearean tragedy of a life.
I ask you politely to cease your unnecessary cries for attention, and instead invite you to join our ranks. Stop watching porn and anime, go to cinema to watch Captain Marvel, and breathe in the splendour and the amazement of this movie, and then, maybe, just maybe, you'll see what you've been so hopelessly searching for this whole time.

No matter what way you want to rationalize it, 90% of the total user reviews cannot be brigading. That's just too high of a percentage to be realistic.
