Captain Marvel 2 (2022)

Guardians of the Galaxy is the best MCU franchise though, it's true. 👆

It DID feel significantly worse than most MCU movies to me. I went into detail in the original thread... starting HERE

But in short: stupid, unnecessary super "Girl Power" character rushed into the MCU before Endgame, shitty incorporation of 90s music (which is sort of a cherished era to me), and Larson actually didn't seem right or charismatic enough for the role (which is weird because Marvel usually gets that right). Oh, and shape shifting is a sci fi cliche that needs to die or at least be used very sparingly.

I still gotta give the movie props for being so damn butthurt over Brie Larson being told to smile they included a scene of a guy telling her to smile more and then she steals his motorcycle.

Do you think all the back slapping caused any permanent damage?

They also did something like that in a recent issue of the Captain Marvel comic.
