Amph Higher. Further. Faster. Together: Captain Marvel (+ The Marvels)

That's so Binary and a little Dark Phoenix, which the movie comes out like a month before Captain Marvel, IIRC. Either way, it's women on fire.

 

Yep, I'm definitely thinking they're going Binary already... or possibly proto-Binary, and she'll have to go full-Binary for Thanos...

 

So we are getting an origin story but told in fragmented flashbacks, that could be interesting. Also Marvel won't go her iconic costume until the 3rd act I'm thinking. But, dammit, 90s era Samuel L. Jackson is the 2nd lead! So, yah, I'm very easily happy about it just for that. And Blockbuster Video! And Captain Marvel punching an old lady in the face!!

I admit, I just read the Entertainment Weekly article today so I just keyed to the fact that Kree can be human coloured or blue which is something I don't think we've seen yet (there were lighter blue Kree on Agents of SHIELD but that was it). But I can dig it, although my brain is just very used to Blue Kree.

 

I didn't think they'd do the helmet but they found a clever way to throw it in there.

 

Iconic? It's relatively new, only being introduced since Carol changed her name to Captain Marvel, and remains controversial. Her most iconic costume is the blue-black Ms Marvel costume with the lightning bolt insignia.

 

Really? It's iconic to me that I think it's the best designed one and the one which is most prominent on Captain Marvel stuff across the board which Marvel has been pushing for quite a while. The green outfit actually reminds me more of the Genis-Vel outfit for his stint as Captain Marvel (which was kind of awesome too)

 

Upon 2nd watch, her quick falling down montage and then towards the end of the trailer the quick getting back up montage hit me in the feels.

 

Actually my favourite stuff in the trailer is all Samuel L. Jackson sourced. "Space invasion! Big car chases!"

As for Carol being a bit blank in the trailer, well it SEEMS like the movie is going with mind-wiped solider forgets origin type of story those those take awhile to come around and be human again, I'd guess.

 

I assume you mean because of Blockbuster? In which case, yes, that was the best part of the whole movie.

 

Is this film coming out August 2019?

 

March

 

OK so it's Ridiculous Ameridating on Steroids, good job whomever did that to the title. Hashtag applause.

 

Only Captain Marvel's a space hero.

 

We went over this on 5/9. Check page 2 of the thread. It's all 2ndTheQuest's fault.

 

I'm really hoping that this is her story. I am a bit concerned about the portrayal, but I'm hopeful that it's just because of the collection of shots they chose for the trailer. Also her voiceover delivery in the trailer sounds so flat, but I'm hoping it was just recorded for the trailer. I do think she had a few really cool moments though. Specifically during the granny-punching shot, I thought she looked pretty badass. I hope there's a lot more punching in this film than Marvel standing there shooting electricity out of her palms because she looks much cooler that way.

 

That granny punch shot was pretty brutal. She probably cracked her skrull.

 

As stated before, I think the stingers will go like this. Under spoiler tag just in case I happen to be right:

Spoiler

Mid-credits: Captain Marvel forces a peace treaty between the Kree and Xander, forcing Ronan to look for a third party to deal with the Nova Corps. Enter Thanos and the plot of Guardians 1.

Post-credits: She's investigating what happened to Xandar and may be interrogating some Kree when they begin to disintegrate. She then receives Fury's signal and flies off.

As for the villains themselves in the movie, it's a shame that...

Spoiler

Crossbones won't be in it, or they would have Skrull and Crossbones. Avast ye, mateys.

 

I thought that was a really weird shot to put in the trailer with no explanation whatsoever.

 

Yeah if you put the pieces together, there is a shot of her in the subway looking confused, then it appears she might be on the subway where the old lady/skrull in disguise is, and then she's on top of the subway train shooting energy beams at something off screen - probably the skrull she punched on the train. My guess - the train sequence is probably near the beginning of the movie and also close to being finished in post production and was chopped up and edited to be in random parts of the trailer. Notice her outfit is the same in each snippet. She probably meets Fury after that sequence and gets her 90s gear to change into.

 

Best online quippage I saw about the old lady punching shot "That's a SKRULL, baby!"
