Shazam was pretty incompetent, messy and overall pretty shit though. Whereas Captain Marvel was much better put together, much tighter, and people’s main criticism strangely enough seems to be that Brie Larson’s acting is “boring” (because she isn’t obnoxiously over-the-top I guess? I mean, I thought she was pretty good and she is an Oscar winner).

Captain Marvel is clearly the better hero, much better than Captain Marvel.

It’s really pretty shitty actually. Like, the plot is really messy, the tone is all over the place and completely incongruous, the set, outfit and character designs are terrible, completely generic and lazy... But I guess you can make up your own mind if you see it.

What sucks is that a average boring movie made a billion dollars, and a good meaningful movie was over shadowed by its competition.

I never saw Capt. Marvel, but the way you presented the "daughter" is out of character. A child of that age, it is well known, that their greatest fear is separation from their parents. That's why it's very threatening to say to your child 'you'll leave them alone.' I agree, Shazam played this fear better. Shazam was abandoned as a child, thus making his entire story arc more realistic and relatable.

Marvel should just let DC use the Captain Marvel name.

But how even was Captain Marvel “full of herself”? Because she wasn’t super emotional? Neither was Nick when he suddenly found out that aliens exist. Because she dared to be a (female) superhero from another world who wasn’t actually naive and insecure, who didn’t cry all the time and rely on the support of others, because she was confident in her abilities?

In my family, my sister and I were the only ones who watched Captain Marvel. I only went because I wanted to support my sister, but I left theaters thinking "I'd rather watch Thor the Dark World." Later as my family was going to watch Endgame, my dad wondered if Captain Marvel had any plot elements he needed to know before watching Endgame (because they set up her reveal in Infinity War). I was honest and said, "not really." Do you know what I learned in that moment. Not only was Captain Marvel a bad movie, but it didn't contribute to the overall plot of the MCU. Nick Fury had a better origin in Winter Soldier, the origin of the name "Avengers" was unnecessary, it did nothing new with the Tesseract, and even the Skrull had a better introduction in Spiderman Far From Home. You can skip watching Captain Marvel, and you won't be missing out on anything, in contrast, you gain something by missing all damage made to Winter Soldier.

@@phari4820 indeed. Black Widow should have served as Marvel's first female led movie. If they wanted a Captain Marvel movie, they should have just hired competent writers, directors, and actors. There's no movement or resistance against women with leading roles, we just want good characters with depth and vulnerability, and a little something called a character arc. Take Black Widow for example. In previous films we learned that she was broken down just to be reborn as an efficient, ruthless assassin. She even saw herself as a Monster and made sterile. That a lot of character drama, enough to forge an amazing arc. The writers behind Captain Marvel didn't want to give Carol Danvers such depth or room for growth. Making a character an invincible token character void of vulnerability or complexity isn't the way to provide a positive and powerful role model for your target audience.

He's the archetypal wide-eyed innocent kid who has wholesome fanboy reactions and the audience is supposed to look at him like a cutie with a pure-heart. It's just irritating to me how that's his entire character. Just being there to be overwhelmingly wholesome so the audience gets the feels. The Peter Parker of the comics is more human, he has flaws. He can be irritable and snarky and even at times act out of selfishness. He's a realistic person. Why I hate MCU!Peter is that he lacks any of those qualities. Not only that but in the comic he had struggles. He had to take care of a feeble, sickly aunt. He was stuck in job with a tyrant boss. His love life was rarely if ever stable, his best friend was angsty, he has the guilt of Uncle Ben's death, etc. It's just irritating seeing that the MCU has reduced him to being the plucky, purehearted kid with a pretty carefree life.

The MCU take just has me constantly groaning at how the character's whole essence is to be cutesy and childlike.

Shazam was an amazing film. Captain Marvel was terrible. I'm a woman and I felt like my intellect was repeatedly insulted while watching Captain Marvel

Shazam is my favorite DCEU film Captain Marvel is my least favorite MCU film

As a woman and a mother, I am frustrated that whenever a feminist ideology is put into a movie character that character has to be ALL STRONG, never crying, flat and emotionless. The power of being a woman is that we persevere through our emotions, push through conventional assumptions of our mental and physical capacity (do not underestimate the woman's body we make humans and sustain them for months from our milk alone!). But feeling things and being sensitive is not a sign of weakness. Being scared yet persevering is more a sign of courage than just never being scared at all. I never felt any real flaws or weaknesses in this Captain marvel character, there was no struggle no real pain or stakes, no real growth, therefore no real joy when the battle was won, I just saw smugness. It was like ok, youre strong whoopdee doo. There was nothing about her I related to at all, like ok sorry I am not a born badass like you. When I fell yeah I got up but man did I cry haha but there is nothing wrong with that! I was really rooting for this character, it was a missed opportunity to show what real women can do. I think they were sooo focused on the feminist agenda that they forgot to put substance in character development and create a real person.

@@EricCarter12 Very well done video! I can see you really wanted Captain Marvel to work, but it just didn't, you were objective enough, and I didn't feel you just did this to hate on Brie Larson like a lot of other videos (tbh I am not a big fan of her but I also don't hate her, she just meh). I also like that you referenced a lot of other strong female characters in other older movies, since during the promotion of this movie people kept saying this is the first real female hero, like, ahem...what about Ripley, The Bride, Furiosa, Michelle Yeo in pretty much everything she's done!? Anyway good job!

They also had a campaign to get people to pay to get underprivileged young girls tickets to see Captain Marvel as well as people saying that reserved seats for CM were constantly being made with no one ever showing up to watch the actual movie. Honestly, I can't take the sales seriously for CM when they had to resort to artificially inflating their box office with things like that.

Shazam is superior to Captain Marvel in every way shape and form.

I love how Zachary Levi and the kid who played Billy really blended. Like it feels like Billy would say the adult's lines.

Shazam (the real captain marvel): infinite Captain marvel (actually ms marvel): -infinite Also when Thaddeus came for Shazam I was terrified for him because this is like if I was shazam being the same age as billy and this is a really good relatable part in the movie. Captain marvel doesn’t have that sort of tension for any characters

Eric Carter what do you think of Godzilla: King of the Monsters after all the trailers?

I never even heard of marvel's captain marvel. I only knew DC's captain marvel and when I heard they'll make a movie for him, I was thinking 'Oh boy...hopefully marvel doesn't sue them for the name' and then marvel announces captain marvel and I was genuinely confused. Learnt later that marvel had a character also called captain marvel but I didn't care for it. cause Shazam was looking good

Unfortunately, people will pay to see craps from Marvel/Disney, and considering big money means something! Craptain Marvel box office: 1.1 bill! Shazam! box office: 340 mill! But money doesn't beat quality! Never! Craptain Marvel: pop corn crap! Shazam!: quality!

I thought Captain Marvel would be great, boy was I wrong. But I didn't watch Shazam in theaters, probably cause my mom didn't want to lol.

I just rewatched Winter Soldier and there was a picture of Fury and Pierce shaking hands and in the picture Fury was bald, had a mustache, and had BOTH EYES. Showing Fury was define there for longer than Captain Marvel demonstrates.

I left the theater at the interval of captain marvel (in India we have interval). I never did this before, even if it's bad. but this I couldn't stand.

Shazam reminds me of the sam raimi spiderman trilogy. The way it balances the tone is fucking brilliant.

Shazam is a great movie. Captain Marvel didn’t make any goddamn scene.

Double videos, double superheroes, double Captain Marvel’s, only one good one. And the circle is now complete 😂😂😂😂 Great job man and hope you have a wonderful day and if you need some time to take a break after making two versus videos back to back. 💚💚💚 Also congrats on 40K!!

Welp. I've decided. I'm going to get the Captain Marvel DVD (because I wasn't able to watch it in theatres). I'm referring to the old Captain Marvel, Shazam.

I hope Shazam! Is a new beginning for DC

I watched Captain marvel because Endgame I watched wonder woman because it's wonder woman

When I saw the thumbnail I already knew who’s going to win

Is it just me or is captain marvel at rip off I'd green lantern

Shazam (the original Captain Marvel) is far superior and is also more powerful

I appreciate your hard word in making your videos and how you pick apart CM for its faults. Your review skills for bad storytelling are why I became a subscriber. All that said, I just want to point out that SHIELD being called that in the movie isn't really an issue. They've been around since the 40s, and obviously it didn't take them 60 years to realize that the name spelled that. The best explanation I've seen for how that went in Iron Man is that Coulson was just being goofy. The acronym was used in Agent Carter as well.

Justin's Epic Voice Recordings yeah it was used in agent carter but no MCU movie references tv shows to that extent. For instance MCU has yet to reference inhumans yet that is all shield was concerned with for like 2 seasons.

I hope the next Caption Marvel movie is better then the first

I saw Shazam in theaters 3 times. Then I saw it some more on home release. THat's how much I loved it. Captain marvel.... once is more than enough.

I almost fell asleep watching Captain Marvel which says a lot to me cause I barely fall asleep during any movie I watch.

Actually, Shazam is called Shazam in the movies and recent comics, he hasn't been called Captain Marvel for a while.

Oh please if they showed how strong Captain Marvel was in the final fight people would complain

How about comparing. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man vs Shazam

Black Widow is a much better example of a strong female character, she's complex, she has an interesting backstory and personality, and she can kick ass.

Endgame vs Spiderverse

Let's just hope that the Russo Brothers were able to make Carol Danvers a way better character in Endgame.

This was a slaughter

Two Eric Carter vids in one week? Is it my birthday?

Shazam is overly cheesy and made for kids and i sometimes cringe at the sophomoric jokes .. ugh.. However i would.prefer a kid cheesy movie with cringeworthy sophomoric jokes than an absolute borefest and charisma vacuum and agenda backed as Brie Larson's Captain Marvel.. So.Shazam with its haters WORST criticism is still better than Captain Marvel.

If you notice, whenever CHEESE is looking at something you can read in that smug face of hers "I'm better than these people."

I love how in both the “vs Wonder Woman” and “vs Shazam!” videos, he doesn’t even bother use the Captain Marvel music, since it is SOOOO boring and forgettable.

I have one small request. The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions vs Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest and At Worlds End since both are back to back sequels that tried to capitalize on the success of their predecessors, but could not recapture the magic.

The Captain Marvel war is finally over and the winner is the real Captain Marvel and it is Billy Batson.

Captain Marvel- Fans of the wackier Phase 1 and 2 of the MCU will love it. Shazam!- Fans old-fashioned Raimi-esque superhero tales will love it. I personally really enjoyed both

Imagine if, during the talk with Fury, we actually saw Carol display some emotion. Rise to her feet, place her hands on the table and look down on Fury while telling him what's what. If a character doesn't care, neither will we. If a character has no passion it's hard to create any passion for them.

Another great video. Keep up the great work dude! 👍
