I’m just sorry that Brie Larson had LINES in Endgame.
She can’t seem to speak without coming across as a smug, self-satisfied с*nt.
I mean, she only had four speaking scenes, and look at this:
I did like the scene where she arrived late to the fight and destroyed Thanos’ ship.
As I have ALWAYS said, Captain Marvel SHOULD HAVE BEEN there, but NOT (a) SJW Carol Danvers and (b) not Carol Danvers at all.
They needed Mar-Vell.
Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel got her powers from Captain Marvel, but she was never the female version of him.
She wasn’t Kree, never had the Nega Bands, never had the Cosmic Awareness.
And she never, ever had the STORY DEPTH.
In the House of M storyline, when Wanda rewrote reality to make Magneto basically king of the world, Mutants a kind of aristocracy (which was a pretty good world, actually—Magneto makes a MUCH better king that Doctor Doom), they decided in that alternate world ...
that Carol went by Captain Marvel and was the world’s most beloved super-hero. It was a neat story concept.
BUT.
Somewhere along the line Marvel got into their minds that Carol Danvers REALLY WAS or COULD BE “the world’s most popular superhero.”
But she can’t. The character, while a not bad when written by Chris Claremont—JUST. DOES. NOT. HAVE. THE. DEPTH.
She could have worked as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
She was a member of the Starjammers, actually.
And the modern, humorous version of the Guardians of the Galaxy is much more like Chris Claremont’s Starjammers than, say, the actual (classic) Guardians of the Galaxy.
Don’t get me wrong. I like them.
Drax is … wrong … but the new version of the character is just so goddamn hilarious that I’m content.
The old Drax was a humorless bloodthirsty killing machine zombie whose only purpose was to DESTROY THANOS.
Drax the Destroyer was pretty one-dimensional.
I like the old Drax, but love the new one. He fits the TONE of the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
