I wish a lot more superhero movies actually took their fights seriously. When someone threatens to kill you or your loved ones, it's supposed to be tense. A dire scenario where there shouldn't be any light hearted music or any stupid gags. That's part of the reason why movies like Winter Soldier are so good. That's what a "fight" is supposed to be, not a theme park ride

I think there's plenty of room for both, and a lot of it being down to which superhero it is and when in their arc it's happening. Some belong mostly at the playful end of it like Guardians of the Galaxy, others like Batman rock it at the serious end. Both need good writers to be good; certain sects in Marvel seem to think that throwing dumb, high volume humor at bad writing fixes it though so they overuse that way too much.

Great video bigger cat man, the way they can't even manage to explain or just keep the core aspect of the concept, is indicative of Marvel's current state. Such wasted potential.

It doesn't help that Larson has shown many times in public appearances that she's terrible. She insults and puts down most guys she works with and makes them uncomfortable both on set and in interviews, responds to nice words with haughtiness, reacts to normal questions most actors hear as if they're negative when they aren't and gets hyper-defensive about it, and generally makes most people around her not like working with her. The movie itself having bad writing, bad directing, and bad choreography would earn it less shame if it wasn't also well-known that both the main actress and the director hate men in general, and the movie was even made with the plan being to promote the most toxic form of feminism, rather than made as entertainment or with any serious attempt at something people would enjoy watching. When a movie is made by people who hate most of the fans and the franchise itself, is deliberately not intended as entertainment at all, and has the names and faces of people who very publicly piss off most of the people who see them, it shouldn't be a surprise when your end result is a movie that often gets compared to diseased poo. That exact phrasing has actually been applied to it, and while it's a bit exaggerated, it was a complete incoherent disaster of a movie and a cringe-fest that I'd rather forget existed, but I can't because it was so bad it burned my memory.

Someone thought a singing planet was a good idea and no one else told them "no".

Another great video. Thanks for all of your great content, Jedi Brooks. Keep up the good work!

Captain Marvel ruined Avengers Endgame. First thing we saw of the movie (in the first teaser trailer) was that Tony Stark was stranded somewhere in space. The question was: are the, now obviously demoralised, remaining Avengers going to work together to find him, or will Tony Stark use his legendary intelligence and skills (think what he achieved in a cave in Iron Man) to save himself? No. Captain Marvel finds him with no trouble and he's rescued immediately. And what about the massive spaceship that Thanos commands? That's gotta be tough to take down, right? Will the big final battle see the Avengers divided again as a team attempts to take down the imposing spacecraft from within? No. Captain Marvel just flies through it and it's dealt with immediately. It's so easy that she could've done it by accident.

Honestly, Marvel now desperately needs their version of the WB DC Elseworlds label to tell stand-alone good stories as long as Disney hires filmmakers who care for source material and don’t interfere. Like Todd Phillips and Matt Reeves get to play in their own pocket universe sandboxes not part of a shared universe. Outside the MCU marvel films focused on story rather than franchises and also no real world politics is the only solution to money. Otherwise, just sell Marvel like in the 90’s to many other companies that will allow these possibilities.

Happy Thanksgiving, go get some food now!

Just to clear it up: they only switch places when they use their powers SIMULTANEOUSLY. That's why they were practicing their rhythm and coordination in the space ship.

I love your videos, Jedi! Keep it up

Blackrock and those behind the curtain are the ones who are truly pulling the strings here. Those people are pure evil.

Haven't seen it but if the switching was telegraphed with idk a bit of glow that builds up as they use their powers then it could seem less arbitrary and instead more rules-based. Also maybe if they don't use their powers then the glow dissipates to force them to not use their powers as much but still able to a little without it feeling inconsistent. Also give each character different rates of build up and dissipation, in Captain Marvel's case she'd get a faster build up and slower dissipation for more of a nerf

Even Captain Marvel was a mediocre movie. MCU's writing and storytelling ended with Infinity war when it was at its peak. Its been pathetic ever since, even with Endgame (the movie was disappointing on soo many levels). Loki is the only redeeming media MCU has put out since then. They desperately need a reboot cos this aint gon work

Man, every snippet I see of the musical planet just looks so cringey, why did that get the green light?

Marvel Studios is dead. The reason the content sucks and the reason critics aren't as hard on this recent junk as they were on the past good movies is because their views finally align. Marvel Studios no longer takes Marvel content seriously, and of course neither do most movie critics.

captain marvel should had been the main villain in all honesty they should have introduced rouge as a apprentice to dar-benn (what should have stayed a male) then turn her good and had to steal her powers to stop her in the end this was all a big fluster cluck made no sense the writers and director omg its like a room full of monkey's Flerken a football

I must admit that when they started singing, I actually got a little bit freaked out and started panicking

Yay a scene comparison video for this movie! :D

My personal favourite is Thor Dark world where Loki kills like 5 or 6 dark elves with just 1 dagger. Took him like 10 seconds. Its a quick fight to the death. No prolonging. Then Loki sees Thor and Jane in danger and rushes to save them. Thats not team work. But in Thor 1,there is great display of teamwork when they enter Jotunheim. Thor still reckless cos this is the beginning of the movie,only cares about his dead body count. We have all using their unique set of skills. Loki with magic,Sif with spear,Fandral with a sword etc. And Loki keeping an eye on all of them to protect them. That fight scene has even started it all with Loki since this is where frost giant touches him and he realizes he is one of them, goes crazy,turns into villain. That was great writing.

whats that video of the guy laughing at the dancing scene from?

Bruh, Excellent Assessment. Thanks for takin' tha Time.

You should do a scene comparison with Spider-Man (Doesn't matter which)

The power-level doesn't even have to be a problem, but they make it one. Superman is a good example of this. He is practically invincible, yet the fight scenes can still have tension, since the people he is protecting (I know, a hero? protecting people?) aren't. Kryptonite is a crutch that is everywhere in DC, because some writers apparently couldn't write fight scenes unless there's stakes that concern the main character specifically. You don't need to nerf the powers if you write the fights in a different way. But that would require significantly more effort on the writers part, so go-go gadget swapping magic. Having a significantly more powerful character is also interesting for team dynamics. Superman has gotten into conflicts with the justice league because he is more powerful and durable than anyone else in the league. As he says in one of the cartoons: "Fact is I'm the invincible one, every punch I take is one they don't have to". A fantastic setup for a character arc about trusting your teammates, plenty of interpersonal tension, good storytelling. A third aspect that could be explored on powerful characters is their relation to the more fragile world. Superman has his famous world of cardboard speech, where he tells about the struggles of needing to constantly control his power to not cause catastrophic damage and kill everyone he fights. Captain marvel doesn't seem to have any such grievances and is just happily genociding aliens without a second thought. Having a character reflect on the effect their powers have on the world around them is a great way to establish internal conflict. Marvel misses all of these options and instead goes for what is basically a reskinned version of kryptonite: the writer saying "nuh uh". I think it's particularly telling that they choose a way that has an impact only for the characters themselves, and pass all the ways they could exploer the characters relation to others. No, the only thing that matters is how the characters themselves are inconvenienced by this and how they feel about themselves.

One of other bad things of mcu movie/show now is most of the movie/show not have a proper fight scene. The fight in these movie/show now just punch, kick and the enemy fly like a whole mile away, they not use any proper move like captain america or have a calculated move like iron man. They just fight like some random idiots with super power

The way the swap works is explained in the movie: They swap when they use their powers simultaneously. So only one of them using a power won't trigger the swap. That being said, I think there was at least one instance where 1 + 2 used their powsers and 3 got swapped, so there's that. And why the heck does K.Khan fit into the trinity of them when she's nowhere near the dimensional rift when the swappening started?

Its clear that everytime disney has 'failed' is when they become more greedy. In their 2d animation era, they made loads of mid projects after success of their mid century stuff. They all failed, they moved into tv, low budget films, mostly failing. Then the renaissance of the 80s 2d disney movies came and put them back on top. Then other studios started to top them like pixar in the 90s/2000s so they bought them, and now pixar style movies are failing. Hence buying Marvel too to get the older male market on board. But then they tried to change everything to fit their agenda to make it for kids and more girls. Hence failure again. This cycle will continue. Disney is a greedy corporation. They will find the next thing to consume and spit out and ruin.

Companies know they can sell crap as long as it's tagged with starwars, marvel, disney ......

I miss the days when the only woman on the avengers team were: # A super intelligent russian agent who was a master in her craft, had such a strong role as a friend to the team and # A green badass who tried to stop her mad titan father and found a family through the roughest place. Did I also mention that they were never outlined for their gender because the audience was like 'they are cool and have personality so idc' Widow legit was going to tackle a fucking new york invasion with a glock, so much cooler than just flying through a ship

He used siege operator names to divide the video worth the like 🔥

i might have been interesting if carol denvers lost her power instead just like in the comics and relied ti her fresh teammates formijg a team, it will established her as a new leader of avengers,

I'll forever be angry that the Stan Lee tribute was at the beginning of Captain Marvel and not Avengers: Endgame. That's never going away in my eyes.

MCU is not even a shadow of itself now..

Glad to see more Brooks videos!

I don't mean to sound like a comic book nerd although that technically isn't a bad thing especially nowadays, but in order to catch up to the 2017 Wonder Woman movie hype Marvel gave us Carol Danvers Captain Marvel instead of the male version that came first, And back in the day I wouldn't have mind as long as the film was good like the majority of the mcu was, but not only did the cracks show when the majority of the time the mcu basically burnt it's comic roots and lost a lot of really good stories in that regard but now the MCU isn't making any good films other then maybe one or two decent one's that have come out after endgame but that was way back in 2019 and they have released a lot garbage since then

:06 we didn’t even want you to do it the first time.

Wait wait wait, did fury really say Black girl magic??

Yes they went THIS cringe.Its actually in the pre release trailers too.

I don't think OP superhero is the issue, look at One punch man. It's about writing talent and values.

The inherent problem with Captain Marvel (besides Brie Larson).....is that the character was written as invincible....and who can restart a freaking dying sun! No one cares for a hero that has no vulnerabilities. Brie has a great rack though.

i really dont understand how we go from planning and referencing scenes like thor attacking tony and it accidentaly charging the suit 7 years laters using that to his favor with the mega lasers while thor boosts him to such a mess of a phase 4 and 5 what the fuck happened

Small correction: The chemistry between the Avengers is far from underappreciated. Wheadon is well known for writing great group chemistry, and it's often called one of the movies strong points.

First sign of decay in MCU for me was Avengers 2, the one w ultron. That’s when the CGI took over, lame comedy took over, and the stunts got weak, also all the background extra actors got retired. Up till avengers 1 there’s a 90s vibe to the action, Winter soldier has a 90s vibe too, but that’s it.

The first Ant Man and Doctor Strange are the last entertaining MCU movies equally alive with The Winter Soldier.

Maaaan The Avengers was soooo daammmn good, how can Marvel have fallen so hard... Wow

Honestly when the dress appeared on her I thought it was... what's his name's imagination.

i think they only switch when they use their powers at the same time, but if only one of them use their powers it’s cool

They really thought they could make the Boogie Woogie work haha

It was watching Captain Marvel in the theaters, knowing then that I had been lied to by Disney and the marketing, that made Endgame, aside from NWH and Guardians 3, my end point in watching or actually caring about the MCU..

6:07 Overpowered characters can be used in fun way like One punch Man

Avengers Endgame was shot in 2017, so before her movie even came out. They didn't reduce her screen time.

It is basically a 90 min long tiktok reel, devoid of a meaningful story. It is simply a mindless visual cringey entertainment.

The homelander shot encapsulates what I'm feeling perfectly when I watch a scene from the current Marvel shows and movies.

It's crazy how the fight in Jujutsu Kaisen between Todo, Yuji and Mahito did it better than the Marvels😂😂😂😂

I wonder if the writers ever feel like they did something wrong or if they really believe they did well

The best fights I have ever seen are in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith". It isn't just because they look cool (all though that is a big plus) they also contributed to the characters emotional progression. In The Winter Soldier, Cap fights Bucky in an epic sequence that starts as just a fight and ends with Cap learning Bucky is alive. It is done well and shows Captain Americas, a character that has been largely undefeated at this point, one and only weakness, Bucky. Then we have Revenge of the Sith, where, again, the fight is beautiful and the music enhances the strength and raw emotion of the scene. But the viewer also can't help but feel awful seeing these two0 characters that have evolved together fight in a truly perfect scene. Then we have new fight scenes like the ones here that employ bright lights, colors and explosions. No emotion and no progression. Just violence for the sake of violence.

Marvel comics though that by making Captain Marvel super duper powerful that people would like her and buy her comics. When they wouldn't sell they would up the ante, having her even beat all the Avengers by herself. She even murdered Tony Stark in the comics. Now they cloned him with his finger, but they had the clone admit that the real Tony Stark is dead. She act like a villain, because the writers are villainous and admire the traits of a villain

bro, there are so much threats to challange an "OP" character in the Marvel Universe... but they just don't wanna use them...

Both Saitama and Ainz Ooal Gown have plenty more depth than Captain Marvel. She has no excuse.
