      Capt. Marvel got an artificial boost being sandwiched between Infinity War & Endgame, that was peak Marvel and CM got extremely fortunate placement, literally any Marvel movie would’ve done well with that timing. The Capt. Marvel movie itself though was probably one the weaker movies in the franchise. It didn’t contribute anything meaningful to the lore and, if anything, it made Fury worse off and ruined the Skrulls. Had they planned it out better, they could’ve made Secret Invasion the epic conclusion to an ongoing Skrull conspiracy storyline, instead they had to backtrack by making Skrulls into villains again and turning Fury into one of the most pathetic characters in Marvel.

        Yeah, I remember only watching it because I thought it’d have some plot points important to know before watching endgame

          Same. I didn’t really know much about Capt. Marvel going into it, but was willing to give it a chance and assumed there was some sort of deeper tie-in with the whole Infinity War saga, but essentially there just was a sort of ham-fisted cameo with the Tesseract/Space stone and that was about it. It explained how Fury knew her I guess, but didn’t really tie in with anything else.

          Haha same. I thought she’d be way more involved in Endgame. I still enjoyed her movie though.

      I’m talking about reviews, not revenue. Suicide squad earned $750 million worldwide. The sequel underperformed because nobody wanted to watch a sequel for it. Revenue doesn’t matter, Captain Marvel is regarded as one of the worst marvel movies and it would need convincing to get people to watch more of it.

        The second Suicide Squad released as one of the first big cinema releases in the pandemic, of course it underperformed.

          Every marvel score is suspiciously inflated and every marvel fan agrees captain marvel wasn’t good. But sure, I will go off.

            I’m a Marvel fan and I loved it, but glad you got it off so it wouldn’t keep building up and bother you any more than it already was!

              Great, I’m glad you got to fanboy in the comments section while ignoring every point made. You were really holding it in. Also loved how you conveniently left out that Captain Marvel has the worst audience RT score of any marvel movie (45%, where Thor The Dark World has 75%)

                …I…was directly responding to every point you made with basic facts on the reviews and the earnings…

                You were really holding it in.

                Sorry, I’m confused. Are you upset with me that I liked the film, or only upset with me because I liked the film and you said nobody liked it so it makes you wrong or something? Like I’m genuinely confused why me enjoying it matters to you.

                Also loved how you conveniently left out that Captain Marvel has the worst audience RT score of any marvel movie (45%, where Thor The Dark World has 75%)

                Does it? I just took the first google links my dude, I didn’t know which RT score they show on the google results page.

                It makes sense though, that movie was review bombed hard by conservatives and misogynists. It comes up pretty much anytime a strong female character pokes at their fragile little masculinity.

            Translation: you want it to be bad and not do well, but everyone else does not share that opinion.

              Translation: Marvel has inflated ratings because outlets love getting attention for liking the popular thing

              Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness: 73% RT

              Ant Man and the Wasp: 87% RT

              Iron Man 3: 79% RT

              Tell me these are great movies everybody loves. I can’t believe I had to argue, with a straight face, that captain marvel is a bad movie
