Thoughts on Captain Marvel

[Makeshift Python]

As far as I can recall, the only reference to Cap being an Avenger was in the subtitle. No one throughout the film ever labels him as such. Also, the subtitle was originally added by Marvel at the time in order to give it a better chance at the box office, because the studio heads were not sure if just having it titled "Captain America" would appeal to international audiences. Thus it was given "The First Avenger" to strongly hint that tie in. In fact, all the present day scenes were supposed to be post-credits, but were edited in post as bookends in order to explicitly tie in to the Avengers.

Here's one way to look at it: Carol's call sign may have inspired the name of the team while Cap coming back from the dead retroactively made him the "first".

Just saw it. I really liked it. It's not top tier Marvel by any means but it was still great. Some questionable music choices, a few other issues, but Larson did just fine and I enjoyed it.

Kevin Feige assures that Carol Danvers will have a weakness in next film:

Darn, I was sure that she would get through the next film with so much ease and stress free.

Isn't it ironic that both Captain Marvel and Shazam are getting movies coming out literally right next to each other?

And now, Death Battle is making a battle between them. How utterly stupid.

Of course Death Battle is doing a fight between them, they always have a stupid theme for their fights. Hey where would a thread about Death Battle hypothetically be posted here? Sci Fi and Fantasy?

I think I posted one in General Discussion a few months ago.
