So, I just saw Captain Marvel with my folks. A few months late, I know but seeing as how I rarely go to the movies I don't think it matters.
The film is essentially a prequel, taking place before Iron Man. But it takes place primarily in 1995, so it takes place AFTER Captain America: The First Avenger, which takes place during World War 2. If you go by that bit of info, the MCU's official timeline would be...
Captain America: The First Avenger
Captain Marvel
Iron Man
So, in this past week I have seen both Captain Marvel and Shazam! Hence the title there. If you know your comic history, you know that the heroic protagonist of Shazam! takes on the name Captain Marvel, a deliberate choice by his creator’s to stick it to Marvel comics at the time. There’s a lot more history with that which went bouncing back and forth, but there are comic historians who’ve delved into thatparticular legal and trademark battle and produced write-ups
In my opinion, Captain Marvel was... well... it was K. Ironic that Marvel is the weakest MCU Marvel film in a long time, but not excessively bad. It was just K. A solid 5.5/10, would (maybe) see with family again. Overall, anyway. Fun action, fun effects, fun Nick Fury, semi-tolerable story, neat twists, and FUCKING SKRULLS.
I recently got back from watching The Marvels and this might be unpopular opinion... I'm not sure that is right words for it but I honestly like it.
Probably more than Captain Marvel movie in my opinion.
After winning the best actress Oscar for “Room,” Brie Larson has her sights on another marvelous role.
Little orphan Pipsqueak was wandering alone in the woods when he ran into a bright red trolley in the middle of nowhere. Curious, he boarded it. It took him into an underground cavern, where an old but kindly man sat on a throne over a great rock. He was an ancient wizard-Older even than Starswirl the Bearded. And he had chosen the plucky young colt to wield an incredible power.
By speaking the wizard's name, the colt could transform into the Mightiest Mortal! And defend Equestria!
