I enjoy your reactions. BTW, the way 'explosive decompression' is portrayed in so many movies is extremely inaccurate. If you are in space, and something punches a hole in your spacecraft, the air near the hole will, of course, leak out. But you are not in danger of being sucked out, unless you are pretty much on top of that hole. The worst that will happen (which can be quite bad, of course) is the air in the rest of the ship will dissipate through that hole. But you are not going to be swept out of the spacecraft. It bothers me every time I see that. Of course we know this, because our space stations in the past have experienced punctures due to debris, micrometeorite collisions, etc. Basically, all you have to do is cover that hole with something and seal it.

Robert A. Heinlein covered this (so to speak) in a short story called "Gentlemen, Be Seated!"

The thing that I LOVE about Marvel is the background, the backstories, and the LAYERS of narrative that they are telling. How much of what is laid down here will come up and be important later [spoiler free].

This didn't get the hype of a lot of the main MCU titles, but I really liked it. Seeing your wheels turn with Ronen, younger Fury, and the eyepatch, etc was fun to see. The Stan Lee cameo of him reading the script to Mall Rats was touching. Kevin Smith talked about that happening when it occurred. That is worth seeking out too :)

RIP Stan Lee.

Hi Emme, you're back with another reaction already!🙂In the flashbacks Carol Danvers is wearing a United States Air Force Academy t-shirt.😉Stan Lee had an extended cameo in Kevin Smith's "Mallrats" (1995). That is why he was reading the script. This furthur solidifies the current year. Yep, her last name is "Danvers". When he picked up the tag "vers" is left on that portion of the tag. It is very cool how they connect so many things in this film into the MCU.

In the comics, the Kree and Skrull Empires are ancient rivals, working towards galactic conquest. They're equally evil.

Hala is the capital planet of the Kree empire. Home to the Supreme Intelligence which is their A.I. Leader. Also home to Ronan the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer both of whom we last saw in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. 😊 The year in question is 1995. That is when Captain Marvel returned to Earth. Yes, that was indeed Agent Nicholas "Nick" Fury and Agent Phil Coulson. Fury before he lost his eye. 😮 A "black box" is basically a flight recorder that contains the ongoing communications aboard an aircraft plus any relevant telemetry and or changes in elevation, speed, direction, etc. Usually placed deep within the plane in an armored box so that in the event of a crash or explosion there will be a surviving account left in the wreckage. 😮 Marvel Comics had to use the name Mar-Vell due to copyright issues. Fawcett publications created a hero named Captain Marvel. That hero was sued by DC comics claiming it was copying their hero Superman. DC won the lawsuit and eventually bought the rights. Today that hero is known as Shazam. 😅

If you truly wish to understand why this movie was so severely criticized by knowledgeable Marvel readers, I refer you to my comment below. It is lengthy but comprehensive. Mar-Vell, Carol, Fury, the Skrulls and the Kree-Skrull War were all done irreparable harm and are completely unrecognizable to any reader of Marvel Comics. Feige should have introduced Nova if he needed a space-based hero as we were already familiar with the Nova Corps or he should have done the Black Widow movie fans were clamoring for so it could have been released at this stage of the saga. He should have waited for the necessary components to come together so he could tell Carol's origin in a relatively authentic way and used her character as the POV for the epic Kree-Skrull War, one of Marvel's iconic stories. Making the Skrulls good guys was a huge mistake that arbitrarily altered the role of a staple villain and compromised "Secret Invasion". Making Fury into a clownish sidekick who loses his eye to a cat scratch robs him of his mystique and contradicts the character as already established. A severe misstep by Marvel that has had a ripple effect throughout Phase 4. Please read the comment below. It tells you how Carol stacks up negatively against all the other heroes because of how she was adapted in this film.

​@@oxhine Really? Most of the hate that I heard (and did my best to ignore) was some BS about the actress being woke or some other crap like that. You're telling me that most of the hate this movie got... was from people pissed off that it didn't follow the source material? Source material that was supposedly from a different universe at that? I don't care if 838's Christine called the MCU 616, that was THAT universe's designation for the MCU so I don't trust it. I don't get this kind of hate either, honestly. I mean, any story that crosses to a different medium is going to be different to at least some degree, usually by a lot. And that's not even counting the multiverse aspect of Marvel. Look at the differences between the Harry Potter books and movies, or the Jurassic Park books and movies. Most people don't even know that the first 2 Jurassic Park movies were based on books written by Michael Crichton. And they were changed a LOT in the movies. In the book, Hammond was a cold and calculating businessman to the point that he was practically a villain, not the kind grandfatherly depiction he was shown in the movie. Movies and shows based on other source media are always "interpretations" that are "based on" characters/books/stories etc, created by so and so. Now, I will admit that I never read the comics, tho I wish I could have, but I have a perceptual disorder that makes the cell and bubble format of comics longer than 3 or 4 cells give me a headache. But I have read plenty of books and short stories that have been turned into cartoons/shows/movies etc, and I never got ticked off that things were different because I understand that any story crossing media cannot remain true to the source because each and every media has its own strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons. You're never going to be able to get an entire comic arc's worth of material into a 2-hour movie or an 8 episode mini-series. The way I see it, I can waste my time and energy getting pissed off that this character survived in the movie or that those characters didn't even make it into the movies, but what good does that do, huh? So, instead, I just enjoy it for what it is, a condensed, alternate-reality version. For the record, I don't expect you to agree with my view on all that, I was just explaining why I will never understand the whole "not true to source" hate. I think it was a decent and well-done movie for what it was and where it was in the MCU.

@@little-wytch yeah, they've strayed from the source material on every MCU movie and I didn't see this level vitriol for the way they handled Spider-Man or Hank & Janet Pym.

As someone who read a lot of the comics, but not particularly Captain Marvel, I was a bit confused by the choice to make the Skrulls the good guys but I certainly didn't hate the movie for it and it obviously had no affect on Secret Invasion. I think most of the changes the MCU has made from the source material have been for the better, they've modernized a lot of it.

Hey, Emme! There are two sacred cows in Marvel comics who have DIED and NEVER returned! One is Uncle Ben and the other is.....Mar-Vell! As a Caucasian-looking Kree, he was a second-class citizen among his own people where blue skin was considered superior. Sent to spy on humans, he took a shine to the people of Earth and betrayed his mission resulting in his exile here. He was the ORIGINAL Captain Marvel, went by the alias Walter Lawson and found a human ally in Carol Danvers whom Brie Larson plays. He was one of Marvel's great cosmic characters who was deeply respected by all the other heroes. Fighting a villain called Nitro, he's exposed to a chemical that causes him to develop a cancer so terrible that no science of Mr. Fantastic and no magic of Doctor Strange can cure. All the Marvel heroes stand vigil at his bedside helpless to prevent his passing. In a final show of respect to the character, the writer, Jim Starlin, had Mar-Vell's mortal enemy, Thanos, who happened to be dead himself at the time, greet the soul of his nemesis in spirit form and escort him into whatever lay beyond. It's a watershed moment in Marvel history and a landmark graphic novel called "The Death of Captain Marvel". Carol Danvers was originally an Air Force officer who discovered Mar-Vell's alien origin and allied with him. Accidental exposure to a Kree device called the Psyche-Magnitron hybridized her DNA giving her abilities and she became Ms. Marvel. She was devastated by Mar-Vell's loss and never felt worthy to assume his mantle as was expected. She joined the Avengers and, in a very controversial story, was abducted by an extradimensional being who brainwashed her into being his lover. No one came to her rescue because she was mind-controlled into behaving as if her abductor were someone she truly loved. When she was finally freed, she was so aggrieved that her teammates accepted her out-of-character behavior as normal that she quit the Avengers in disgust and moved to San Francisco to become a private detective. While there, Rogue, a mutant who can drain others' powers, attacked her but held on too long stripping Danvers of her Kree power and putting her into a coma while permanently absorbing her abilities. X-Men leader Charles Xavier took personal responsibility for Carol's care to make amends for a mutant's involvement. She slowly recovered but with a tragic consequence: her memories were restored without any of the attendant feelings. Her emotional ties to friends and family were severed. This is the sole trait retained by the character in the movie. During an X-Men adventure, her Kree DNA was amplified to the staggering levels seen in the film and she changed her name to Binary. When Rogue was inducted into the X-Men, she felt betrayed by her new family for choosing her assailant over her so she wandered space for years with the pirates known as the Starjammers. Upon returning to Earth, she drained her Binary powers aiding the cosmic hero Quasar to stabilize the Sun. She rejoined the Avengers under the name Warbird but found the transition difficult, struggled with alcoholism and was booted from the team. After years as a government liaison, she was inducted into a new iteration of the Avengers as Ms. Marvel again. Finally, after helping to topple Norman Osborn's Dark Reign, Captain America encouraged her to adopt her mentor's title: Captain Marvel. This movie's aim was to create a Marvel analog to Wonder Woman who is a magnificent heroine and a unique combination of Thor and Cap over at DC. Feige foolishly tried to shoehorn this character into that mold but it doesn't fit and robs the Carol Danvers character of her rich heritage. This movie was also made to advance a feminist agenda by gender-bending one of Marvel's esteemed icons, Mar-Vell, and making Carol into an all-powerful Superman-type. All the Marvel heroes struggle with the burden, the responsibility, the ethics of power. Throughout the MCU, the characters are forced to find strength when reduced to their humblest state such as Spidey lifting himself out of the rubble after being scolded that he shouldn't be wearing the suit if he's nothing without it, Banner filled with dread and self-loathing of his raging alter-ego, Stephen Strange finding new purpose when robbed of his hands, Thor earning his hammer through humility and sacrifice, Cap being selected by Erskine for his spirit and heart despite his weak body, Natasha continually seeking redemption for her Red Room past, Scott continually striving to be his daughter's hero, Tony endlessly wracked by guilt and anxiety masked by snark, T'Challa chagrined by the folly of his personal vendetta and the short-sightedness of his forebears, Quill choosing mortality over omnipotence. Carol may not need to prove anything to Yon-Rogg but she NEVER PROVES TO US that she's a hero without resorting to her immense power. She feels its her birthright and she has been kept from achieving her potential by a succession of oppressive men. Moreover, she's contemptuous and suspicious of anyone who questions her superiority. These aren't the attributes of a HERO. These are the classic attributes of a VILLAIN. The last four sins committed by this awful movie: 1. It made the Skrulls into cuddly aliens when any comic reader knows they are a vile and warlike imperial race who loathe humanity. 2. It bungled a golden opportunity to show the true form of the Supreme Intelligence as a massive, tentacled protoplasmic blob similar to "Dune" navigators! 3. It gives us just a brief taste of the landmark KREE-SKRULL WAR squandering what could have been an EPIC SPACE OPERA! 4. It made spymaster extraordinaire, Col. Nick Fury, into a total buffoon. He's a career soldier and intelligence agent notorious for being the MOST PARANOID man on Earth discovering extraterrestrials exist! Yet, Jackson's all chummy, cooing at a kitty and singing doo-wop! The dark secret of his eye? A cat scratched it! It's a totally different character! Where's the scowling, foul-mouthed killer from the previous movies? Was it Jackson's choice or the directors' orders? Who knows? Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck co-directed a really great dramedy called "It's Kind of A Funny Story" but their roots are indie films and the pair seem out of step with the established MCU. Brie Larson is spectacularly miscast! Comic Carol is extraordinarily beautiful, statuesque and voluptuous. When you cast Superman, you expect Henry Cavill's granite jaw! Additionally, the nonsense she publicly spouted contributed to her negative reception. The supporting cast is as talented as ever but Annette Bening as Mar-Vell aka "Wendy" Lawson and Jude Law as Yon-Rogg are wasted. Lee Pace's Ronan the Accuser and Djimon Hounsou's Korath, who both have yet to become the radicalized zealots seen in "Guardians of the Galaxy", make their first chronological appearances in the saga as does a digitally de-aged Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson. Gemma Chan does a nice villainous turn as Minn-Erva. The remainder of Carol's Starforce unit, Rune Temte of "The Last Kingdom" as Bron-Char and Algenis Perez Soto as Att-Lass, barely make more than a physical impression and her unconflicted willingness to thrash the stuffing out of them makes them even more inconsequential. Ben Mendelsohn is amusing both as Talos and Director Keller. Matthew Maher as 'science guy' Norex and Sharon Blynn as Talos' mate, Soren, round out the Skrulls. LASHANA LYNCH as Maria Rambeau is the one bright spot! There is DEFINITE UNSPOKEN ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY between Maria and Carol but I'm glad the filmmakers didn't go the lesbian route because Carol is straight in the comics and this movie butchered her origin enough as it is. Delightful Akira Akbar plays the precocious child version of Monica Rambeau and the charming Mckenna Grace plays a young Carol. TRIVIA: 1. The bar called Pancho's where Fury and Danvers meet is a tribute to the Happy Bottom Riding Club, a ranch/hotel owned by female aviation pioneer Pancho Barnes and frequented by many Edwards Air Force Base test pilots since the 1940's such as Chuck Yeager and Buzz Aldrin. 2. The security guard Carol questions outside the Blockbuster is actual Marvel security chief Barry Curtis. 3. Brie Larson is allergic to cats so, whenever she had a scene with Goose, the cat was either a visual effect or a puppet. EASTER EGGS: 1. When Monica is cycling through color options for Carol's suit, the first selection is red and gold as a nod to Fawcett Comics' original Captain Marvel now known as DC's Shazam, the second selection is black and gold as a nod to Carol's Ms. Marvel costume and the fourth selection is green and gray as a nod to Mar-Vell's Kree uniform. 2. Maria Rambeau's call sign is 'Photon' which is a nod to Monica's moniker in the comics, when she acquires her powers, at first calling herself Captain Marvel but later going by Pulsar and Photon. Nowadays, she's called Spectrum. CAMEOS: 1. Stan Lee appears as a passenger on the train where the Skrull Carol is chasing has adopted the form of an elderly woman. He's reading the screenplay for Kevin Smith's "Mallrats" which is a movie in which he had a cameo as himself! All of Stan's cameos are shown as part of the opening Marvel logo as a tribute to the co-creator's passing. 2. Contemporary Captain Marvel scribe Kelly Sue DeConnick is the red-head passerby in the train station after Carol disembarks. END-CREDIT SCENES: 1. The one about the pager is meant to be seen after the prologue to "Avengers: Endgame" but before Tony's scenes in space. 2. The one relevant to this movie has Goose the flerken cough up the Tesseract like a hair ball onto Fury's desk! The next chronological stop in the MCU is Ang Lee's 2003 "Hulk" for the optional origin of the Hulk.

So the first notice that our hero may not be working good people is the Kree are the race Ronin belongs too if you remember Guardians 1. It connects to that movie in a lot of ways for that reason. And connects to things on Earth through obvious plot reasons.. But not enough people give the movie credit for playing a trick on the audience. Skrulls look alien, we're told they're bad, they must be the bad guys right? Wrong, the bad guys are the ones that look most human and are very evil. I also kind of ship Carol and Maria :) they are so cute and take care of Monica together.
