SATURDAY AM UPDATE: The last-minute push for The Marvels with an appearance by star Brie Larson on The Tonight Show and at a theater in NYC post-actors strike have not moved weekend grosses any hig…
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.
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.

Yeah, I remember only watching it because I thought it’d have some plot points important to know before watching endgame
Haha same. I thought she’d be way more involved in Endgame. I still enjoyed her movie though.
