let me talk about his dislikes -
I totally get what you mean, but ... yeah but ...
I didn't mind the Skrulls being good now as Marvel already used/replaced them with the Chitari anyway. Having another lizard like race of bad guys would have felt repetitive and we all know the Kree can't be trusted anyway. I know what you mean, and I hate they had to use the dumbass chitari in the first place, coming from old school Marvel, but yeah, I was fine with it here. I also knew it was going to happen when I saw Marvel's Solicit for the new Skrulls mini-series
Fury's eye bugged me too, but really for only one reason (sorry, Jeff, I know you got all this from me already as soon as I excited the theater
) The Flerken (which I think I said "Flook" to Jeff originally
) should have done it when Fury was being all "cutesie, tootsie" the first time, not after the third time. He had worked with them by then and It just seemed off. Yes, it goes in line with what Fury says about how he lost it - I trusted someone ... or something to that effect, but did he really trust a cat? Especially an Alien cat? Yes it was a stupid/silly way for him to lose it, but the entire thing just seemed off. But then again, I hate cats, and it does fit their personality, so ... still not a fan, really.
Darn, I love Benning as Captain Mar-Vell. Again, because of who this movie is for. Besides, Jude made a great villain type.
And I too wanted to see old big head, but they way they did it was smart. I just never saw how they wre going to pull the Supreme Intelligence off in the movies when he looks pretty damn stupid in the comics. Stupic Cool, but still ...
As for your likes -
Yes, the post credit scene was pretty awesome
Coulson indeed. Man, Marvel's de-aging machine is the S#!@ !!!!!
The Stan Lee tribute was amazing, I hope Kirby gets one soon (even though he left Marvel for DC, he did come back and was hella responsible for a lot of this money making machine) but I really loved the look of the 3d galaxies at the end when the credits were rolling. Man that looked so neat!
I had a couple more issues with the movie, I thought the way Carol runs is freakin' odd. Just wait until you see it again. When she runs away from the camera ... it just looks weird!!!
Didn't like Carols attitude when blowing up the Kree ships ... with the Kree still onboard? She is all smiling and all? I get it, she's a gung-ho type personality, but something about it, just seemed off. I thought so in the trailer and the movie pushed it even further. Just thought she should have played a little more chill, even though I get she was having fun, I didn't care for it.
Man, the soundtrack is something yeah? Was there any song not about women or by women?
I almost think Marvel went to Cosmic too fast here. Not sure if this helps my Cosmic movie desires later or not
I think Wonder WOman did a better job of showing naturally strong women, but this did a fine job as well. Again, just not a movie for a 50 plus year old, white male. Ya know?
Good for 'em
