I'm not going to see it. My question is are they going to let Brie seem the most competent person in Endgame while the boys that are left follow her lead like lost puppies? [Reply]
That doesn't tell the whole story. I saw some books on the list that were not good. Hunt for Wolverine was a huge letdown go example
"However, there are two major issues with considering only the top single-issue sellers when making decisions on what fans want to see. First of all, the majority of top-selling comics are*always*the true heavy hitters:*Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Justice League, Avengers,*etc. Expecting any newer title with a lesser-known hero at the helm to do as well as these goliaths is simply unrealistic - and were that the expectation for all titles, a much wider range would be getting the chop. In addition, these sales figures only take into account one thing: single issue sales. Trades and digital subscribers are not included in this data, and the sales of trade paperbacks paint a very different story."
Captain Marvel and specifically Ms Marvel have been huge digital sellers. Most my tpb's are digital as well. I try to get most singles in paper but they requires a big ass room after some time. [Reply]

So are you not going to see end game if Captain Marvel is a badass in it? She's like Superman basically. I assume she will be one of the many leaders...we shall see. [Reply]

Neither credit scene is needed if you don't feel like staying. The first one is pretty early into the credits so you might as well watch that if you feel like.
The second one you have to wait forever and is definitely not worth the wait. [Reply]

I think it was a one-off, though.
OK. I thought they were the same character. That Cap Marvel became Ms Marvel when the character turned into a woman at some point. I didn't get into comic books much as a kid and my knowledge of the stories/characters is mostly from TV/movies/games. [Reply]

100% agree with you on Larsens lack of charisma.
On another point...the villian in this film is very underwhelming. I mean I get why it had to be that way given the story etc...but I was like ..."wow so that's it?"
Kind of hard for me to pick 'the' villain. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it, but yeah. And that's what I was thinking after I made my post about the structure of the film - start with Project Pegasus. Annette Benning did a pretty good job overall. Her and Jackson could have carried the movie. [Reply]

She wouldn't be the only OP character in the fight. Static Electricity Thor is pretty bad ass. If the Hulk actually shows up he should be ridiculously strong. And how much plot armor are they going to cram into Iron Man's suit and Captain America's shield? And then Doctor Strange can always pull rabbits out of his ass. [Reply]
I don't think this is really a spoiler, but I'll put it in tags just in case.
Spoiler!
I still didn't get an explanation of why in the hell Fury wouldn't have used that damn pager for the events of the first two Avengers movies...unless I completely missed it.

Not exactly. Ms. Marvel became Captain Marvel after a bunch of others donned the Captain Marvel role.
Danvers storyline.. if I'm remembering correctly:
Captain Marvel comic is introduced in the late 50s starring an alien named Mar-vell as Captain Marvel.
Mar-vell develops a romance with Carol Danvers, who works for NASA. She's just a normal person at this point.
Like 5 other people take over the Captain Marvel role and have their own stories.
1977, she reappears in the new comic Ms. Marvel getting super powers when a machine blew up and she absorbed Mar-vell's powers becoming Ms. Marvel.
She stays as Ms. Marvel for another 15 years or so, then takes on the name of Binary after her powers get boosted in space. Works with Avengers and XMen.
She loses her Binary powers(Rogue steals them), and changes her name to Warbird. Again works with Avengers, etc.
Finally in 2012, she takes over the role of Captain Marvel.
Marvel wanted their own Wonder Woman. Captain Marvel wasn’t it, she’s kind of a boring character. A Storm movie I would have loved to have seen if they wanted a great female lead. I’ll pass on this shitshow. [Reply]
