it was basically because of all the outside conversations. the movies themselves didn't really warrant any kind of drama. but brie and feige definitely built up captain marvel as being the savior of the MCU

Also Captain Marvel sucked and Brie is a toxic megacunt so there will be 'drama' following her around in any MCU appearance.
It sucks because I used to really like Carol Danvers and she legitimately is absurdly powerful in some of her recent incarnations, but Feige and Larson ruined her.

I mean, even outside of the weird SJW shit...You knew they were going to write her poorly when they flat out said "she's the most powerful". As if her power equates to some special part of her. If the MCU taught anyone anything its that the most powerful characters can be the least useful or interesting. It just showed a myopic view of her, a really obtuse view that people generally OUTSIDE of comics have as a stereotype of comic nerds "Durr, if she's powerful it means she's good and they will like her!". In the comics though, Danvers got clowned really easily by Hulk and Thor, no problem. Hulk actually let her punch herself out hitting him before he laughed and knocked her out in a single punch. She's strong in the comics, but not nearly as strong as they are making her in the MCU. Which is weird, because in general, characters NORTH of iron man levels, have been toned DOWN, while characters south of Iron Man, have been beefed up some--to create a more homogeneous group. Which was a really wise move that has allowed the stories to be more cohesive and I'm baffled they broke it with Marvel. (Because if any "girl power" cast member is actually strongest it would be Scarlet Witch, who in the comics would pretty much rape everyone but King Thor and some versions of Dr Strange.)
Anyway, only chance they have of redeeming her is if they actually weaken her and make her genuinely struggle, and slowly regain her confidence/power. Make her depend on others for that process. Essentially do to her what they did to Spider Man the past two films. Starting her at the apex of her power was...a huge mistake and felt pretty obtuse, seemed like they only did it to shoe horn her into the finale so she could be the 'bridge' to the next Avengers (Which clearly was supposed to be Spider Man and Black Panther's roles), and they need to find a way to walk that back, and get her to grow on screen.
OR they can introduce the Xmen by having new Rogue suck the bitch's power out and just use Rogue as a stand in for her, with Rogue going through the above process of learning and growing because she doesn't know how to control the powers or whatever.

I plan to buy it as soon as I can preorder it. Apparently it is a Best Buys only affair and so far it has not lit up for preorder.

^ I can't imagine buying the movies again, especially with Disney+ coming out.. but it's sad to see that. I mean it's extremely unlikely we will ever experience a run of 20+ related movies that are all pretty damn good, and tell a cohesive story, etc. It was a monumental, unprecedented, insane feat, and they pulled it off and it was FUCKING EXCELLENT. Damn...!!!!!!!!!

I'm more interested in the packaging, every time they do these damn limited runs, the packaging always suffers. Discs scratch, fall out, destroying the paper slips to remove the discs etc.
Gonna pay a good chunk of change and you can't even guarantee the housing for each disc will be decent.

Watched this last night on Disney Plus. I think I enjoyed it more than the first time I saw it in the theater. My 1st thought at the theater was I liked it but doubted it would be a second watch type of movie.
I was wrong. I enjoyed it more on rewatch. Knowing the story, I could concentrate on individual scenes versus keeping up with the story. I still disliked grrl power scene, but I think I disliked Ms Marvel less overall.
If you havent rewatched it, it's worth a second viewing.

Bucky is an assassin. It isnt like Steve could give it to him. If Falcon were another color it wouldn't matter to me. That character as written and portrayed in the MCU is the right choice.

Falcon is already a well established character. No reason to give it to him other than skin color.

Seen an interview with Anthony Mackie where he was saying that the main focus of The Falcon and Winter Soldier is that Steve Rogers may have thought that Sam WIlson should be the next Captain America but the government doesnt agree.
