We're two films into our special-curated-I-can't-stop-thinking-about-the-order rewatching of all the Marvel films. First up was Captain America. It is still so brilliant. Full of heart and proper heroism. All the best things these films have to say are within it.
The magic is in the combination of decent values and genuine heartfelt morality, laced with clever irony, like Cap wearing his suit for propaganda purposes at home.
Captain Marvel was in the second spot. Really works here. But I still find it boring and drab. The action doesn't feel thrilling, the jokes don't land. Only thing saving it is the politics. The things it has to say on feminism and refugees are really well handled.
I really want that film to be better. But after two watches I've given up. It's just not very good. Larson is great though. A new writing team could easily turn it around.
For those asking, we're using this order, nabbed from a Reddit thread with a bit of playing around. Prioritises chronology and maintaining Asgardian/Shield/space threads over a few films at a time.
