...I kind of have mixed feelings about the upcoming Captain Marvel Movie, for numerous reasons.
First and foremost, I'm a comic book Kid of the 70s, along with being a comic book "traditionalist",
(if there is such a term)? To me, if you're going to make a movie about a comic book character,
stick to the script, (and try to stay true to the original character's identity). Otherwise,
why don't you just give your movie comic book character a different name, since it's not
r-e-a-l-l-y that same character you're referring to, (is it?)
I would have preferred it if they had just recreated Jim Starlin's Captain Marvel character.
(I seem to remember a female "Marvel" character coming after the original Captain Marvel,
but I could have sworn she was "Ms. Marvel"???)
Secondly, related to Infinity Wars, I actually disliked it, (really hating its ending)! Part of this was because
going into the movie, I didn't realize that a fourth Avengers movie was coming afterwards; part was because
I just can't stand a movie which ends in a cliff-hanger, (and killing off half of the universe's population is quite a
cliff-hanger).
So along comes the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, just a month of so before the fourth Avengers movie.
(Coincidence here???)
Hmmmmm???
And, I can just guess whom Nick Fury made that phone call to, in Infinity Wars, before disappearing into oblivion himself?
(Nothing quite like retelling a tale, and just inserting a previously undiscovered super hero/(heroine) into the mix
to help change the story's ultimate outcome)?
But then again, if Captain Marvel had come out beforehand, she very well may have been part of that half of the universe's population which got wiped out.
(Despite all of my negativity here, I'll probably end up just giving in anyway, and going to see Captain Marvel when it comes out).
