Reasons to NOT trash Captain Marvel as a film!

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2019)

I was honestly scared going to see Captain Marvel. She is one of my favorite superhero's and I was anxious to see what Marvel would do. I typically trust Marvel in all their decisions, however I cared that this movie did well. After reading reviews I am a bit confused. Did people watch the same movie as me?
I have a couple theories when it comes to the bad reviews.
1) People are trying to rate this like it is a normal movie. Captain Marvel is an origin story yes, however it transcends the cliche origin feel because of the way it is paced and edited together as a story. I admit that it is a bit weird. The movie doesn't really have a beginning middle and end because the nature of the film and I appreciated that. Captain Marvel assumes that you've seen the other MCU films and there is nothing wrong with that.
2. People are roasting Brie Larson as an actress. News flash: she's the only Avenger with an Oscar and just because you don't like the interpretation of a character doesn't make the actress bad. Her sassy charisma was super funny in my opinion and I appreciated the dry direct humor.
3. She's a woman. As a man who's enjoyed comics, movies and superheroes for a long time, I have seen people value male superhero or find particular interest in the males more than females. There is nothing wrong with this, however don't botch your rating simply because a female superhero doesn't quite fit your superhero desire. News flash: Captain Marvel is here to stay and quite frankly... will be the new leader of the MCU whether you liked her movie or not.
5. Spoiler alert! I think some people may have been mad about how the Skrulls were used. Kevin Feige released a statement that essentially read, "skrulls can be good or bad just like humans and we'll probably see them again." I love this explanation because it's true. Within a while species there is definitely potential for skrulls to be good or bad, however their plot in Captain Marvel was fresh and unexpected therefore I appreciated it. Plus the Skrulls added some unexpected humor!
6. I have seen a lot of people trash Carol's character development. Which once again I would relate back to the pacing and unique scenario of her not knowing parts of her own story. I felt like this fact was fine and considering it is her first movie of probably a lot, we're gonna see her really grow as a character and leader.
Overall, this was a great movie! Unique pacing that made it original to watch, fantastic character arcs and plot twists that still bring the same epitome of her original origin story!
Go watch it for yourself and form original opinions on this movie!
