How a Marvel Character is Destroyed by the Very Person Who is Cast to Represent Her, Brie Larson

Rating: 2/10 (19 May 2019)

We love superheros because they appeal to something good in all of us whether it is real or perceived, objective or subjective, conscious or unconscious. Strength comes in many forms and true power must display strength on many levels for us to respect such as Thanos. In the case of Captain Marvel and Brie Larson, there is no connection that is formed that makes us respect and cheer for the character. Brie Larson is a person who does not and cannot convey those sentiments that project those qualities that most would deem "super" . There is no real charisma in how she portrays the character portrays, just a brash self appeasing angry narcissistic person. I love female power and how it can be projected into a compelling narrative that audiences can fall in love with. Brie Larson should have played a villain because that is what she projects and oozes in every way.
I have no doubt that there are many people that will love Brie Larson and her portrayal of Captain Marvel and that is all good but I think for most, this Captain Marvel is like that one snarky person at the dinner table that talks about themselves the entire time.
The writing was terrible, character development (there was none) was non existent, the plot was pathetic and full of holes. There is very little to praise in this movie. I am not giving a 1 because I am giving at least something for the technical crew and CGI.
