Oh boy. That’s all I’m going to say

Juzism

The description says enough already

Gregory Prytyka Jr.

Okay you officially hit ground zero and literally CANNOT go any further until you watch The Falcon and The Winter Soldier at this point. Technically you have already watched these out of order as it is, lol.

Switchchris27

I really liked this movie. This movie got review bombed hard, people didn't go see it but decided to form opinions about it anyway because Carol was in it. When it came to Streaming Services it became quite popular, became one of the most viewed movies on Disney+. While im still not a fan of Carol, they made her so much better then her previous showings. She finally has personality and flaws that make her story something I can enjoy. I love Ms.Marvel, she is the heart of this movie and I can't wait to see more of her. I give this movie a 7.5/10. Can't wait to watch it against with this video once I get home from work tonight.

Switchchris27

I think she is going off a list basing it of order of Importance. I would guess that Falcon and the Winter Soldier is next, then Brave New World, then Thunderbolts. She still has plenty of shows she hasn't seen yet to, but the movies linked to them have not come out yet.

Shino302

So this is the first Marvel movie that completely flopped at the box office. It had a similar budget to Avengers Endgame and made less than 10% as much.

Tr_unzFaxmachine

Shouldn't secret invasion have been watched before this?(this is a genuine question cause i skipped it 😔)

Switchchris27

Your opinion does not determine the quality of the movie. A lot of people like it

Iruma Mob 100

Woo! She mentioned Falcon and Winter Soldier! 😄 I hope she remembers to watch it before reacting to Brave New World and Thunderbolts (since she’s going out of order on MCU things 😅)

Tony

Bruh she watched this bad Ahh movie but didn't bother to finish Quantomania which I've heard might be very important for the upcoming Doomsday movie

Gregory Prytyka Jr.

Are we sure about that? This movie and that movie won't have the same villain...

King'sBard

Boring villain but fun movie

Leo82

Really loved the kerbal space program X super sentai quality at the start. Also would any of this happen if Captain Marvel did not destroy a world?

Stardust Breaker

Whether you like the movie or not it’s a pretty objective fact that it was review bombed by a lot of very annoying people.

PurportedGrey

I’m glad you enjoyed this movie, and you’re not completely wrong about the hate it got. But here’s my experience when I went to see it: my group of best friends and I go see every big nerdy or tentpole movie you can think of, Marvel, DC, Denis Villeneuve, Nolan, you name it. Out of the 10 of us who went, 3 actually walked out halfway through. The rest of us (myself and 5 others) spent most of the runtime debating whether we should leave too, and only 1 person stayed glued to their seat and absolutely loved it, which is hilarious because that same guy hated Captain Marvel. My main point is: don’t have that mind set to just generalize the criticism the way you did. Personally, I think this movie earns its place as one of the weakest ones, and that’s tough to say because Iman Vellani is absolutely fantastic as Ms. Marvel. Sure, some of the backlash came from the usual culture-war trolls and grifters, people being racist, disingenuous, or just hopping on the hate train without seeing it, but the movie itself still has some real flaws. The quality and effort felt about on par with Ant-Man 3 or Secret Invasion (those are still my bottom two, but this one is definitely near the bottom for me). And that’s okay! It’s totally fine to love a movie that, if it were a physical object, would look like a block of Swiss cheese.😂 Jokes aside, I’m not trying to rain on your parade. I just want you to understand that a lot of the criticism came from people who were genuinely disappointed. I know I was. I’m honestly tired of this rollercoaster of quality over the last 5 years, and I really hoped this would be another Guardians 3, Loki, Black Panther 2, Spider-Man, or Shang-Chi. Instead, it was another letdown in writing, acting, and effects, not just something the usual grifter and bigot crowd latched onto hating.

Bocchi in Shadow

Unrelated but I feel like Alicia would really like The Vampire Diaries

Colin Darcas

There is one good part of this movie. If you think about it, it shares a plot with Space Balls

MoD+

One of the worst marvel movies. bad writing, bad villain. tecnical issues galore. Female lead writing thats just not right -.-

Nym

I think she's mentioned Ironheart in other videos that she's interested in watching it so I bet we'll see a reaction to it.

TwojaStaraIFrytki .

The only Marvel movie I never could finish in one sitting

Switchchris27

Not saying it was amazing lol, I give it a 7.5/10, it definitely could have been better. It was however not nearly as bad as Thor 1 and 2, the first Captain Marvel, The Eternals (which would have been much better as a show with more time to explore the characters), Secret Invasion, Ironman 2 and 3. Regardless of the quality of writing it might lack, its a fun movie. If Ms.Marvel wasn't amazing in it, it probably would easily be a 4/10 for me, but she carries the movie along with Nick Fury for me. I loved the kitten scene towards the end, had me laughing my ass off.

Jaffar Black Fang

Remember x men 97 is a sequel to the 90s X-Men cartoon so she has to watch that first

Jaffar Black Fang

Hope you check out the animated x men cartoons Like x men evolution or wolverine and the x men

Leo82

Also when ms Marvel dropped from sky Captain just flew past her and in to main "villain's" lair light yrs away. Gotta love how Captain gives 0 fook about people. She was chilling in the house not saying she was in upper atmosphere. Some AI stuff has better plot than this Captain Marvel 2 movie.

Jaffar Black Fang

When Dead Pool said that "we're joining at a low point" this is what he's talking about.... Man this was a rough movie

Jaffar Black Fang

I mean a lot of people didn't like the movie because they didn't like it and that's ok You liking the movie is ok too People can like something you don't like and vice versa

LightWizard91

Love how the villain's plan is basically just the same as Dark Helmet's/President Skroob's from Space Balls - stealing the atmosphere from other planets.

Switchchris27

I'm not saying that's not the case. My stand is that opinions of a person do not determine if a movie is good or bad. People like to pick a part movies like they are professional critics when these movies aren't trying to win Oscars or anything. They exist to be entertaining and fun to watch. I just wish more people would just say "I liked this movie, or I didn't like this movie" I stead of saying "this movie is bad". As long as a movie is enjoyed by people, it's not a bad movie, it has filled its purpose and brought joy to people. Not every movie is going to appeal to every viewer, but that doesn't make it a bad product.

Tony

There's rumors that Doom is supposed to be using Kang's technology or something with Kang where Doom takes over

DrakeNoAubrey

really... I couldnt even start kraven or madame web

DrakeNoAubrey

idk about that last one because female leads can 100% work but yea this was a low point

DrakeNoAubrey

I can only beg her to NOT watch secret invasion

Tutty_o7

Marvel did a great job re-introducing Kamala's story, I personally still enjoy the story mode of 'The Avengers' game, as that story revolves around setting up Kamala and her place in the Avengers. Very unfortunate that game died and there's seemingly no plans too carry on that storyline, hence this re-telling/retconning.

MarakamiSG

Alicia's joy for the characters really makes this film more enjoyable

Ranginald Vagel

Script? Ass. Villain? Super ass. Acting? good at some parts. Fun? Sometimes. I was like the only guy to invite friends and watch it together at a theater so it was probably an inherently better experience. I think the worst thing you can have in this day and age is bad writing. People are so much more focused on that than I remember.

Vivica the witch

Your criticism of this movie i get. The film making is tv show level.

BartonBelladonna

dude, Secret Invasion is not only intergral, it's NOT that bad at all. I don't get what's wrong with it

Oatmeal

Female leads 100% can work if they're written right.... This ones are not

Matthew Newton

You probably shouldn't spoil plot points from a show in the comment section of Alicia's patreon lmao

nervouspirate

People are gonna be weeeeeeeeird about this one

Paul R Peddy

I loved t is movie but purely for the focus on the main characters and the ending no hate to zawe im sure shes a good actress but she was not it in this movie like whatsoever. The plot was decent kinda just pretty alright. The writing for the characters was good, I liked the visuals a lot. Not as much as wakanda or eternal but still good enough. Everyone hates on this movie for a lot of kinda unnecessarily biased reasons but I think compared to the other movies that came out in phase 4 it's at least not at the bottom with Thor black widow and Altman. I put it in the middle

Vivica the witch

Cast brie in a musical seriously. Like we know she has pipes.

Vivica the witch

This was me saying I appreciate her criticisms vs the way the internet rags on this movie. Shes actually discussing film making.

Verdigree

I've definitely heard people agree with you about the villian of this one, on paper things about her SHOULD work, but the MCU has been consistently allergic to having their villians be sympathetic, complicated, or correct, her motivation is desperate survival for her people, plundering air so they can breathe, but she ends up being backstabby completely counter to her goals

Rx1867

Absolutely delightful movie dragged down by an uninspired plot whose only purpose is to coyly hint at the next big Avengers film that's since been cancelled and a boring villain who horrendously fails at being Killmonger. The absolute least they could have done was put the villain in Kree makeup and they couldn't even do that.

Fei Ashtear

We've now seen to alt universe versions of Monica's Mom. The other in Multiverse of Madness. In both, she's the one that got the Captain Marvel powers. So it's true, she should have been Captain Marvel.

SecondcityTakk

I doubt you'll end up reading this but about your points on "kneel" one of my favorite line reads of that is the main enemy from Dragon Age Inquisition, Corypheus. His voice actor absolutely killed it demanding you to kneel "Exalt the Elder One, the will that is Corypheus. You will kneel."

Drewby

This movie has enjoyable moments, but overall I agree about it having issues. I feel they used this to focus on Monica and Kamala. I loved how much of an X-Men fan she became. Her reaction at the end was what I was hoping it would be. She would love X-Men Evolution and X-Men 97. Not sure if she'd be willing to go through the older animated series.

Goobert

Based DAI reference "Beg that i succeed, for i have seen the throne of the Gods, and it was empty"

nervouspirate

I watched the 90s X-men in prep for X-men 97 and she absolutely doesn’t. That’s stupid. There’s like 70 something episodes

terrell thaddies

Awww ok cuz before u had typed citizens. So I thought u meant the inclusion of Kamala's family in the movie

terrell thaddies

I hope u know that the things that hint what's about to happen for these Avengers movies, has nothing to do with Kang Dynasty but the multiverse as a whole. Nothing about what was included, is scrapped for the next two Avengers movies Also, there have always been human like characters that are Kree since Captain Marvel

Bisexual Weeb the 2nd

i enjoy this film, i didnt expect to like it but i did, i just find it fun, i rly like all 3 of the main cast, even captain marvel, i think theyre fun, i think the action scenes r fun, i think the singing planet and cats were fun, i just think its fun, i dont think its amazing, but i dont think it's awful, like the effects and villain arent good, the cinematography and script can be bad, but i dont think its that bad and i think theres a lot of interesting stuff that is just fun, idk, i dont think its amazing but i think for a fun superhero film for the family, i think it does its job and i appreciate the emotional story they were going for, even thought it feels like there r missing scenes from it

TSP247

I actually loved this movie when it came out though my taste in movies are a bit twisted. also I love how Kamala is the heart of the team Rambeau is the brain/mind of the team and marvel is the strength/ brute force of the team if you were to merge them into one person it would make one extremely powerful person.

terrell thaddies

People have always said that the MCU needs to stop killing villains. But to say that the MCU have consistently been allergic to villains being sympathetic, complicated, or correct is very incorrect. I wouldn't even use Phase 1-3 to prove this point but Phase 4-6 that also includes the shows

EnderSlayer366

this probably isnt a game we should play, she's going to do it regardless, it was these kind of comments that got her to stray away from Marvel in the first play and subsequently get into Marvel because of, in the end the point is to form her own opinion, and if it really is that bad then it'll end up the way quantumania did (for the record i dont like secret invasion either, it is honestly the only canon marvel project that i actually just straight-up dislike)

EnderSlayer366

oh yeah thats true actually i forgot that one was kind of relevant to this

EnderSlayer366

tbf there's a LOT of rumors about that movie so we cant be too sure, which is simultaneously a point for and against finishing quantumania but yknow what i mean personally i say get some friends in for emotional support for the boring parts and finish it, because as mixed of a bag as it was, it did have some moments, and it IS the only movie kang is actually in lmao

Zannimask

Your opinion on Dar-Benn's actor is... well I've seen her in a couple of things and every time I feel the same way you did. It's like... memorable how "meh" I feel she is lol. Nothing against her personally but so far everything I've seen her in is something I feel like she's not super well suited towards. I'm sure she's good in stuff I haven't seen, but yeah I think we're seeing her try to branch out and it's not going great so far. Hope she improves though!

retsubkrod

Never knew that or heard of that cartoon. I doubt she’d have to watch that.

Verdigree

A random nitpick I had is that as someone who played Portal, these portals don't make physical sense, like when she wanted to simply siphon the oceans, the villian should have put one in the ocean, instead it's in the air and SOMEHOW only steals the water the Kree wanted and not also the atmosphere this time

Ric

Never watched this movie because I lost interest in marvel movies after Guardians 3. The only one I'm interested in is the spider-man movie next year.

Golden Witch Beatrice

iirc secret invasion came out after this. I haven’t seen it but it doesn’t connect to anything(yet)

Golden Witch Beatrice

It really sucks that the villain is such a dud. When the focus wasn’t on her everything else was fun 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ solid 6/10 maybe 6.5 for the singing and dancing. I kinda turn it off after though since it stops being fun and moves into boring. Kamala and Monica are carrying this film on their BACKS! EDIT: it’s also VERY aggravating that Brie Larson’s talent is wasted in these movies on cardboard characterization.

Verdigree

Oh dang, I almost feel bad pointing yet another tiny problem out, but the script had Carol confuse millennia (plural) with millennium (singular) when she said "the Kree had been ruled by an AI for a millennia"

Verdigree

The sentiment among comics readers I know is that Brie is miscast as Carol Danvers, she should be the same age as Tony Stark, but they want younger actors to lock in for long contracts, so that kinda warps a lot, her military career has to be shorter, she looks about the same age as the woman calling her Aunt, etc

Shino302

Honestly my biggest issue with Modern Carol Danvers is they spend too much time on her being from the military. She was much more interesting when she was a feminist magazine editor. But since she’s Captain Marvel now and not Ms Marvel anymore they lean in to the Captain part and now she’s boring.

Fei Ashtear

I love this movie. For me, 7/10. The big bad is not that great, but Ms. Marvel more than made up for it. I love the flerkin feast scene, the music world, the last fight scene, every Nick Fury scene, and everything related to kamala.

EnderSlayer366

It was actually established in Ms. Marvel's show before she was with the girlypops that her powers were not tied to the bangle. At the end Bruno (her smart male best friend that went to college) told her that the powers actually came from her DNA and that the bangle just awakened a latent mutation. So, technically she never needed it after the first time she put it on.

Verdigree

It's reflected in her relationships with others, when she was a ghost in Rogue's head after she absorbed her powers and psyche, the X-Men loved her, but since she went Space Cop, she's maybe not their favorite Avenger

Discerning Deviant

I saw this in the theater and my feelings were pretty much the same as yours, except I'm a little more forgiving of bad production if I'm enjoying my time with the characters...and I loved every minute with Kamala, Monica, or Nick on screen. So it was more of a 6/10 for me. I didn't think it was good, but I still felt it deserved better than to bomb as hard as it did.

Luke

I wanna start by saying, i do love this movie, purely on the scoring, our Trio (especially Kamala), Nick, the Khan's and the station. but fuck me if i had a gun to my head, i could not tell you anything major about the plot. and i've seen this movie going on 7 times now, i could explain The Eternals and Brave New World, even Quantumania. but this plot is so forgettable, and i hate that

Rick Baron

More modern marvel slop ye....

PrivateXimmy

I felt kinda similar. Loved Kamala, but otherwise felt nothing for the film. Felt very Disney channel. Maybe less egregious then any man 3, but also less memorable even.

PrivateXimmy

Why point out you can’t save everyone if you instantly show in the next scene you have an ally who can save everyone with teleportation. Like come on, it’s a super hero film. Even iron man 3 got that right with the pilot rescue scene.

PrivateXimmy

Here it should be fine, YouTube probably gonna be shitters. But I think overall, years later, people just remember this film as forgettable.

PrivateXimmy

We’re skipping moon knight since it hasn’t had film payoff yet, I suspect we’ll skip SI for the same reason. Especially since armor wars got cancelled

SquaredSpekz

You have to have seen Falcon and The Winter Soldier before Cap 4 and Thundberbolts

Gilmez

It’s sad that the set up for the Young Avengers never took off.

Levi Tompkins

The MCU really feels like comicbooks, some are good, some are bad, but you are reading one big story with characters you like, so like, each story is usually worth giving a chance, and you dont expect everyone to hit perfect.

Levi Tompkins

everything with kamala, nick and monica is so good, and even carol is kinda fun on the music planet. I really just dont think they know what htey are doing with Carol, which like, makes sense, cause im not sure theyve ever known exactly what they were doing with Carol in the comics. Carol spent years in the comics as a good side character, and then one day they decided they were gonna make her a major character, and i dont think the comics they did with her in that time are bad, and i think it gave a lot of people like a strong badass female character to be excited about, but she doesnt really have like and iconic backstory and a really strong core motivation to hang a movie on, o i think its always difficult working with her, just cause she doesnt have as much good source material as even someone as new as Kamala, who is a far newer character, but whose comics have a really strong core identity to them.

Iron_claw

God, I hated everything about this movie. I hated all of it. This movie was awful and so cringe. And just not funny and just all over the place. It had no idea what it was trying to do. It was a dumpster that was on fire.

Andy Clewell

You nailed how I feel about this movie with your opinion. Some stuff was pretty good like, Kamala, her family, Monica and the flerkens. I do not hate Brie Larson, but I don't think she was very strong(in acting) as Captain Marvel. In the comics, she has the same aura as Captain America, after the whole Rogue situation, most of the time, but in the MCU, she lacks the oomph. The sing-song planet was a little too much for me. It felt like a skit. I don't hate this movie but I don't like it, like you said. Nia DaCosta seems like good director, but she never "got" Marvel or comic book movies. Monica and Kama deserve their own solo films. Their actors are really good.

Connor Bradford

honestly, they shouldve waited until the had the x-men, as carol is integral to rouges origin, and you couldve had captain marvel be about her dealing with the fallout of rouge perma ganking her powers, then have her slowly awaken to her new powers as binary awaken. then you have a constant through line with her: she has feeling about rouge and has to come to terms with the fact that rouge isnt a bad person. but thats just my opinion. i like what they did with carol in the marvel, having her deal with the guilt of literally condemning and entire race of people due to her arrogance, but its built off of the meh narriive from captain marvel

Hein2208

I'm a big fan of Kamala Khan (since before she joined the MCU), so this movie would have to really suck for me to dislike it. And it doesn't, so I like it. I think it has fun with its heroes and its settings. And that's enough for me to have fun, too. But I do agree the villain was not a lot of fun to watch, so her scenes definitely dragged the movie down. But now that we've reached this movie, I can talk about Kamala's power change from the comics. She's a body-morpher/shape-shifter in the comics, so her hard light powers in the MCU were a big change. I've seen people speculate that the change was made, so she wouldn't step on Mr. Fantastic's toes (because energy powers would be much more unique, right?). Or that they changed it because stretchy powers wouldn't look good on a tv-show VFX budget (even though MCU shows tend to have bigger budgets). But my speculation is that it's neither of those reasons. I think the reason is this movie: I think someone at Marvel had the idea to do a movie with the 3 Marvel ladies where their powers got entangled, so they would be forced to team up. Hijinks ensue and bonds are formed. But that plot would seem strange with two energy users and a body-morpher. So they decide to change Ms. Marvel to also be an energy user. Then, with that decision locked in place, they try to give her an energy-based power-set that still resembles her comic book powers. So they pick hard light constructs, so she can still make embiggened fists and stuff. That's my speculation.

Spicy Noodles

To be fair this movie was made with the expectation that it was going to bomb un the box office (which it did) because of how negative the marvels were received at the time especially ms.marvel and captain marvel. And especially over the covid pandemic so despite its high production cost im sure not much if it actually went into making a high quality movie but more a narrative driver for the over all MCU

BigNotori

Getting closer and closer to Thunderbolts 😁

Aliulo

Someone got stuck in another dimension? Just go hit up Strange. "Hey Stephen, I dropped something three Earth's over."

14k Gold

Definitely a low 5/10 movie. Passable but audiences shouldn't really be stuck with passable films especially when this one came out right after Guardians 3 which is one of the best in the Multiverse Saga imo. Don't know if anyone else mentioned but the actress who played the villain is actually Tom Hiddleston's (Loki) partner

Hellguin

I liked the movie when I saw it, but I still find it one of the 5 weakest MCU movies. You pretty much nailed the good and the bad as always as for why I like it (Ms.Marvel is always a delight to see, and Monica is fantastic in her role as well.) definitely over hated. I think this also suffered due to COVID recovery and people still not having Theater money and stuff. As for Kamala using powers sans bangles, it is because she is a mutant, they said that at the end of her show, and the bangle just acted as a key to unlocking her latent mutant powers.

nervouspirate

There’s not much to remember to be honest. I think that’s part of why it bombed. How do you even market an MCU movie that feels so inconsequential?There’s some good action, the Flerken sequence at the end was fun. Ultimately my biggest issue is that we’ve spent so many hours with Captain Marvel at this point and I still feel like we don’t know dick about her. Edit: Also I agree with Alicia, this is the worst main villain in an MCU movie. If there’s a more forgettable one, I’ve forgotten them. Total extra energy.

Hellguin

so you hated Kamala, her family, and Monica too?

Ryan Hayes

4/10 is fair...it had many issues.

YukoValis

I honestly forgot this one existed girly pops. The first time I saw it I didn't like the Wakanda forever. I did find it funny how they lead up to it in Endgame. Where on their daily reports to Black Widow they talked about quakes coming from the ocean, and to just ignore it. Then the terrible Antman hit and I just checked out until Deadpool and Wolverine. Now I'm rewinding a bit and I found each movie enjoyable. That stinker of an antman really did some damage.

YukoValis

I liked it because it was short and sweet. Damn good action scene at the start with everyone swapping around.

Joey245

I can see why a lot of people didn't like this one, but personally I liked it well enough! Not my favorite MCU film by a long shot, and it has its issues, but Kamala and Monica really do a lot to elevate the film. And Alicia's reactions to both the post-credits scene and all of Kamala's family make this reaction a lot more enjoyable.

Silver Blade

1:16:00 yup - with context clues she is supposedly really desperate to get resources back to their planet and she's torn up about having to condemn others for it - that's why she's picking out "enemies" who they already have less sympathy for

Silver Blade

1:25:10 wait what??? that was some kind of resolution??? WTF?!

Switchchris27

When it comes to rating movies, I always rated based on how much I enjoy the movie. I don't care if the Production Value was low (I mean I loved Kung Fury and that short film used a low production budget REALLY well), I don't care if one or two actors could have been cast better, I don't care if there are slight visual effects flaws. What I care about above all else is if I enjoyed the movie over all, if I had fun watching it, or if it made me feel something. I'm not a art critique or a Film Major, and im not about to start pretending I am. This movie isn't in my top 10 Marvel movies, but I also enjoyed it a great deal thanks to just about everything EXCEPT the villain. Carol did shed some tears that you seemed to miss, and her character is being given Flaws and more Personality/Emotions then in past films, its just that her Actress isn't the best at portraying emotions, only a little better then the villain for this film. Carol is still one of my least fav characters in the MCU, but she isn't in the bottom 3 like she used to be, thanks to this film. I Love Ms.Marvel and I like Monica a lot. I love Nick Fury and I like most of the side characters in this movie. I LOVE Goose and the kittens, that scene has me laughing my ass off every time I see it. I like that they showed a Planet with a culture very different then what we are used to, as most planets thus far have been kinda the same with slight changes. I LOVE that we finally have the X-Men being in the MCU with a comic accurate Beast (The X-Men are supposed to show up in Doomsday and Secret Wars) These things that I love about the movie, for me, vastly outnumber the things I have a problem with. For me its a 7.5/10 because of those things. If Ms.Marvel was not in it however, it would easily be a 4 or 5/10 for me, her and her family carry this movie pretty hard. I can understand why people dislike the movie, I can understand why you gave it a low score, its perfectly understandable. It definitely could have been better with some different casting for the villain (and honestly Captain Marvel, but we are stuck with her current actress for now). The writing in some bits could have been better, same with the green screen work. I can only name a handful of Marvel movies that I would not say I enjoyed enough to atleast give it a 6/10. Even Eternals was enjoyable enough for me to watch it 2 or 3 times. I enjoyed a lot of the movies that some people seem to hate the most, even Antman 3 kept me entertained (mostly thanks to the stunning world it takes place in). I like Thor 4 more then thor 1 and 2 combined. Im Glad that you enjoyed all the parts about it that I did for the most part, its fun seeing your take on these movies since you have past experience with the film industry.

Silver Blade

1:38:50 ... WHAT?? NO THE MOVIE ITSELF TOLD US SHE NEEDED BOTH* TO EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO SURVIVE IT!!! what is this???

Switchchris27

I think her new power is actually better then the comic book version, its one of the few Comic Inaccuracies that I prefer. The power is more closely linked to her Family and allows for a lot more to be done with it, Hard Light constructs are cool as hell and makes her more powerful then in the comics.

Switchchris27

What are you talking about? They have set up MOST of the Young Avengers at this point, we are just waiting for Agatha Season 2 and Vision quest and they will all be there, assuming Hulkling will either be replaced, or set up alongside Speed.

Spicy Noodles

1:37:50 i fear that was just basic space science queen, stars dim when they begin to lose energy

Dorran

I had SUCH a hard time with this movie, and a lot of it was down to the villain. You are 100% on point that the villain just gave us... nothing. She gave such a flat performance. Carol didn't help matters either. I do think that Marvel massively dropped the ball on... the fundamental idea of the movie, leaving it feeling SO padded out (the swapping practice montage, the musical numbers, and the Flerken evacuation) and yet... empty, all at the same time. It almost feels like it should have been a miniseries. Kamala and Monica are wonderful in this movie... they are such awesome characters, and they do SO much to carry this movie. Kamala's family, too. I just wish that the burden hadn't fallen on their shoulders _quite_ as much as it did. I'm... legitimately surprised that you made it through this and not Quantumania. Don't get me wrong, I respect why you struggled with Quantumania. By the time you bailed on it, Scott hadn't gotten to shine, and... I can't fault you for feeling like the movie took too long to respect the main character. It does get better... and weirder, but I do hope you... I don't know, grab one of your besties to take another shot at it XD Even if the plotline it was setting up... got abandoned due to the key character's legal troubles...

random gamer

damn and u sat through this mess instead of quantumania thats crazy

Cyber

1:37:00 i tihnk she found out about the core when she was going through the screens at SABER while they were herding the cats. That's why she knew the next target would be our sun and not the earth itself.

Chris Garcia Yanez

This movie wasn't really the directors fault, she wasn't given a lot of creative control and was given a bad script and had to meet a strict deadline.

Daisy Azuras

I liked this movie when it was in theaters and I defended it from all the people that were complaining that women or were ruining movies watching it with Alicia has made me question my reasoning for liking it cause she makes a lot of valid points and I think I was defending the film because I thought the reasoning behind the hate was invalid because everybody was blaming women when they should’ve really been just blaming the director in the script writer I think the script needed another couple passes. The whole singing sequence really should’ve been cut because honestly, it didn’t really even follow its own logic. I mean if they’re singing in English, why can’t they speak in English now if they were singing an alien language that the whole language was song but it was something totally alien then that would make sense I personally love the alien cats and I absolutely love Kamala. Monica I also enjoy but not as much as Kamala and her family. Captain Marvel is a cool character but in this movie I think Bree Larson didn’t want to come back to play her and I don’t feel like she was that into the script. I also kind of think that this should’ve been a series rather than a movie because when you have so many different characters doing things at different times at different places, it would be better to section off the events of each character rather than try to just mash them all together, but that’s just me. It does feel like there was a budget cut somewhere in this movie and I’m curious if it happened because of the events that dissolved the whole Multiverse avengers movie that they were going to be doing with Kang the conqueror. I honestly believe that they started out this phase strong that’s why we got Loki and all those other cool Multiverse stories but when they decided to go in a completely different direction because of whatever went wrong with that particular actor, I think that the scramble to redirect the storyline for all the Marvel movies in this phase just blew up in their face, and there was no recovering in it. They probably should’ve just scrapped it all and started over and just pretended that this was all part of some other Multiverse.

Daisy Azuras

Ant-man Quantumania is actually not that bad of a movie it’s still a mid movie. It’s like a five out of 10. I gave the marvels more of a six out of 10, but that’s just my personal take. I’m a lot more forgiving than more educated film buffs.

Kamala's bangles only ACTIVATED her powers. In the show, Bruno (her teenager bestie) found out that the band only triggered her powers, like a mutation. She's a mutant and her powers work without it, although she's arguably stronger WITH THEM and I'm guessing that using her powers completely without the banger taps into her own energy/power vs a catalyst. Think of it like a smoke detector alarm or any device that works on it owns batteries, but once plugged into an energy source, it's more sustainable and reliable and doesn't drain the battery first (kamala's powers) vs using the power source (the bands)

DeathHawk31

I enjoyed watching this, but I have to agree with you, I actually said out loud I rate this a 4 like a second before you said it. I do not care for the villains, not just cause she didn't try very hard but because both her and her henchman both feel out of place. When I first saw them on that moon I got a serious Uncanny Valley towards them, it was like their faces didn't go along with their outfits nor the vibe of the movie. Also agree much of the special effects was lacking, it was like watching a low budget tv show from the 90s. But ignore all of that and yeah the script wasn't too bad (could of explained how Monica knew about Hala's sun) also where DID that other Bengal go at the end there?

DeathHawk31

I just looked it up online, I totally missed it but at the end when they are moving into the farm house you can see Carol wearing the other Bangle and it was never explained

Verdigree

There’s kind of a meta-narrative history repeating here, when Carol’s solo book Ms Marvel was cancelled, Chris Claremont brought her into X-Men, which is how a lot of people met her

Vectoris

Since this movie introduced the bangles as the Quantum Bands, which are an actual thing in marvel lore, I wonder if we're ever gonna get an MCU Quasar. If considered spoiler, my bad, I just think it would be cool.

Devlin Draconis

I’m glad somebody clarified on Kamala‘s powers. As to why they changed your powers, It’s probably due to the MCU’s very first in universe television show called Marvel’s Agents of shield. It prominently displayed a race of superpower being called the Inhumans, which Kamala is a part of in the comics. but what happened was there was originally an MCU movie planned that was going to be based on the Inhuman royal family and their entire series of comics, Blackbolt the Inhuman king was in Doctor Strange Multiverse of madness and was played by the same actor who had played him in miniseries that was filmed to replaced the planned movie. After the series, they pretty much just ignore that it ever happened and instead decided to adapt Kamala secret origin to be that she is actually a mutant from extra dimensional djinn instead of her actually being an inhuman. And of course, the change allows him to capitalize on there recently acquired rights of the X-Men franchise. And if no one has ever seen it before I highly highly highly recommend marvels agents of shield, it’s an ensemble cast, It’s an amazing in universe story that ties closely to the MCU post first avengers movie all the way up to infinity war and then they do some creative writing to sidestep the conclusion of infinity war and endgame with them wrapping up the show on season seven. Even with all the great Marvel shows that have come out I still have Marvels agents of shield in my top 5 Marvel TV shows. fuck I just was sitting here for a moment reliving all the high points, there’s so many, and just literally getting a couple tears about their love story (iykyk) Fuck it I’m hunting down the series box Set on Blu-ray and re-watching the show, screw streaming services.

Devlin Draconis

My only complaint with that show is a finale and that they left out the shield team

AonixGhostlyQ

Zawe Ashton (the villain Dar-Benn) is engaged to Tom Hiddleston (loki)

AonixGhostlyQ

Well Monica is a mutant who's x gene got activated by Supernatural exspopnentail energy so the after credits kinda make sense

Levi Tompkins

Now that you are basically caught up with the MCU, I think it would be really cool for you to go absorb some comicbook lore. SirSuperHero has some really great marvel videos that i think would be good Alicia X Death content.

Adam

Also how Rogue ended up with her powers.

MMDXXX

Oh god no!…

Adam

Rogue. She's not makeup.

Easy Mode - A.I

new model mouth animation is smooth. Like the microphone it's like going back to the esports casting days

DrakeNoAubrey

yeah I know its not like the comics but i would love for her to watch video essays or storytelling of comic lore i think it could be really cool

Easy Mode - A.I

don't feel bad, it happen with ghost busters and a lot of other films and will probably continue for another couple of years

Easy Mode - A.I

1:44:10 - when you waaaaalk away, you don't heaaaar me say. PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE oh BAAAABY, don' go!!! Simple and Cleaaaan is the waaaay that you're maaaking me feeeeel tonight. it's haaaaaaaaard to let it go....

froge

This is literally the only MCU movie I don't love or even like. Something must've gone horribly wrong in production 😭. I gotta seal it away with Secret Invasion and the second half of Iron Heart

JB

You know what? I think this movie is okay. Sure the villain sucks but the movie is kind of fun. Not amazing but it's okay. Especially considering that it apparently had a lot of production issues and a big chunk of the movie was cut. And yeah Kamala's powers don't come from the bangle, it just unlocked them. They said it in her show. She doesn't need the bangle to use them she just wears it.

Hexx Gear

Well I knew before reacting Kamala was going to carry this movie let alone reaction. But yeah still crazy

Hexx Gear

You see when you didn't call out captain Marvel's acting in first film I was like dang I guess it meets the requirement. But this movie. Oh yup... no... yeah there it is. Now you see why we kinda find her... meh

ClaireDeLoon

Personally, there were just so many important people in this film that clearly didn't want to be there. Brie Larson, the villain and the director all gave me the impression that they'd rather be working on anything else than this. Larson gave me the same vibe as Jennifer Lawrence in Dark Phoenix; Contractually obligated to appear, but exhausted every minute of it. The villain was just kinda doing this for a paycheck, and clearly couldn't care less. Nia DaCosta probably got bullied by studio execs into changing her vision, and she was over it. Teyonah Parris was giving everything, and Iman Vellani was just over the moon the entire film. That's why they were the best part. They actually gave a shit.

Joi Rene

Actually enjoyed the same parts of the movie. Kamala is just thebest. I cant wait to see Monica/Photon/Spectre in her full form. We got a piece here but.....I NEEEEEED Young Avengers orrr Champions.

Phantom Pledge

Kamala carried so fucking hard. This movie was part of the reason Deadpool made the joke to Wolverine he joined at a low point. Super stinker

millecamps

i didn't like captain marvel and this movie had so much hate that it made me think that miss marvel was also as bad, but thank you alicia for watching it, i would not have watched it alone and now i see that kamala is so much fun. but captain marvel did not get any better

ELS_Art

I am watching this at two times speed and it is still painful. 🤣 Kamala and Nick Fury are the only redeeming parts of this movie.

ELS_Art

By the time we get it they’re not gonna be the “Young Avengers” anymore. Hawkeye set up Kate Bishop over four years ago and it has been such a slow drip feed it’s ridiculous, also I still say they did America Chavez dirty in Multiverse of Madness and since then we have not seen her once.

Kyle Hennett

So She watched this disaster of a movie but couldn’t get through the actual good 2/3s of Antman?

Spicy Noodles

Calling the next movie filler is crazy. I will never get the hate that movie got beyond potential bigotry.

Ignis Flame

for the villain they needed to do what they did with Hela

Rick Baron

Which is the next one?

aliciaxlife

in the first movie I thought they were going with a more stoic bad ass but this one just shows she doesn't have the range of emotion needed for difficult scenes

ChaosSepher

I can agree with you but could you please elaborate on exactly what you mean by this?

Gage Franke

The thing is, if you've seen Brie Larson in something like Room, she's actually a good actress. So I don't know what happened

blue cloak

The characters in ant man were not carrying her enough. and the one character she liked they kept shitting on in the opening. she can get through a lot if at least she likes the main characters or villians.

daverboy

Marvel fun facts time again! So, in the Ms Marvel video comments, I mentioned there was another reason for changing Kamala's powers that I couldn't go into until this movie, and luckily they explain most of it *in* this movie. She has light powers, so that they can become entangled with Carol and Monica's light powers. The swapping places and the importance of the bangles goes back to the original Captain Marvel from the comics, who was a Kree soldier named Mar-Vell (Carol's mentor lady from when she was a fighter pilot is loosely base don him). For a significant time in the comics, Mar-Vell was trapped in another dimension, and the only way he could leave was for a human who had become entangled with him to strike a pair of wristbands together, allowing them to trade places temporarily. As for pulling Monica in, in addition to her relationship with Carol in the MCU, in the comics she is also someone who has held the "Captain Marvel" title during her career, making all 3 of them superheroes who've used the name "Marvel". Also a little bonus easter egg, the name "Binary" and the costume that alternate Maria was wearing in the other universe, are another of the many names and costumes Carol has used throughout the years in the comics.

Hexx Gear

Maybe its the "wingman" effect. She is surrounded by high emotional and loud people like Kamala and makes her look bad unintentionally. I know people who will look cranky but its only when surrounded by those in their lil circle group but when away from them. "Oh no your not cranky at all, ok lol"

Eliteguard99

For me it’s Thor: The Derp World. Even over a decade later no MCU movie has filled me with so much boiling hatred.

Greywalker

this movie could have been good, if they'd cast a better villain (and bree could act). but the thing that killed it for me was the singing planet. how in all the sevel lower hells can you SING, but not TALK. talking precedes singing, you literally CANNOT have the second without the first. that whole sequence was so stupid it broke the entire movie

Chase heo

Me personally I feel like that's literally one of the most creative things They could have done when creating a alien planet where the way they communicate is through singing which I find hilarious which shows how both alien and different from the language of Earth is then that planet full of singing aliens

Ignis Flame

god I hope we get a young avengers

Ignis Flame

recently they did a reveal for the next phase of marvel. it was just chairs with the names of actors on the back, but it did include names of actors from the marvel fox x-men movies.

YukoValis

Aura and proper enunciation would be a good start. Hela had that.

YukoValis

This movie was so much better in comparison. Each character here was built up and had a history that we can care about. Even the main villain as pathetic as they are, we know of their people and can get invested. Antman 3 gave us nothing. They just threw out places and people expecting us to care about them on the spot.

YukoValis

You know what would have been kind of clever? Them pointing out in places how pathetic the villain was. Really hammering home how unimpressed they are. Then when the villain actually gets powered up, have them change into an actual cool outfit, and get them to aurafarm correctly. It would be like "Now I have the power of someone giving me proper shot composition!"

Alvin Everett

I hope you react to Agatha All Along

Alvin Everett

The villain is played by Tom Hiddleston’s wife, Zawe Ashton. She has a similar background (he’s from London, she’s from the U.K.), both been in movies, tv shows and theatre before their appearances in the MCU, and I think many where hoping she would be as good as he was when he first showed up as Loki.

Nugo520

I came into this expecting to hate this movie and I actually came out of it Kinda liking it. It's not great, maybe even not good but the stuff with Ms Marvel was super cute, the singing planet was cool and fun, just wish they did a little more with it maybe and the stuff with Fury, while kinda lame was entertaining lame. I think this movie might break into the so bad it's good with some genuinely good aspects for me.

Memento Forever

If only she met the villain of Ant Man 3... so much better than the villain here. Ant Man 3 does not deserve the worst marvel movie allegations only because of the villain, but it does say something that she dropped the film before that point tbh

Xombie X

its almost like forming your own opinion instead of listening to online hate is worth it

Nugo520

Honestly yeah, though it wasn't all online hate, there was a good dose of Marvel Fatigue to it too, even for a super fan like myself.

Julian Holcroft

not a great villian but the swapping was a sick tactic and Monica and Kamala are always a win.

Lance Ivy

ho;y shit is that the wall ... are we going to get the walll is bucky going to be the man on the wall

Lance Ivy

i know i am in the minority but i love falcon and the winter soilder . its just so down to earth and real .

Lance Ivy

omg that song is from CATS

Lance Ivy

oh ...young avengers movie sounds cool

CrimsonWarrior55

I thought it would be super cringey, but it ended up really fun and I LOVE the it's basically just a set-up joke with the punchline that the prince is bilingual and that just means he doesn't have to sing.

CrimsonWarrior55

It's called fiction. Just relax and have fun.

Greywalker

it's called suspension of disbelief, and if a fictional movie is well-written, then the world makes sense. if it's badly written, like this one, then it breaks your immersion and you're forced out of the movie, like that whole sequence.

Bologna Amputation

27:10 I'm with you there - there was this era in, like, the 2000s and 2010s where so many filmmakers' idea of a 'strong female character' was actually just 'literally a bad person.' Kind of like that trend of male characters needing to be smarter than the audience to be relatable, but being profoundly stupid, around the same era.

Weeksy

Lol why did you list UK and London like they are two different places? London is the capital of England/UK, and Zawe was also born in London haha

Iron_claw

Alicia not to be rude or demanding but can we please get an update of what's going on or what's happening with the marvel movies reactions just a general statement or a small update would be greatly appreciated thanks.

StorytellerDave

I watched it in theaters and really liked it. The wacky greenscreen didn't look nearly as bad on the big screen imo. But Alicia is right the main villain was pretty flat. The main trio was really good though, I hope Marvel doesn't shelve them like they did with the Eternals.

StorytellerDave

Brie acts perfectly fine, her character is literally meant to be 100% stoic and emotionless in the first movie as per her Kree training, I feel like people assumed she couldn't act because her role for the first half of the movie was literally meant to be flat and then slowly ease up as she regains her connection with her human background. She has tinges of emotion cracking through her persona and fun moments with Fury as she reconnects with her humanity more and more and has emotional scenes with Monica too. She played her role perfectly I dunno why people think she can't act, she absolutely can and does.

StorytellerDave

Because this movie is a one of the greats compared to Quantumania

StorytellerDave

She's 100% meant to be stoic in the first one, her acting was on point there. People say she was flat, but that's literally her character, she is meant to be emotionless as part of her Kree training. She only eases up once she slowly reconnects with her human side more and more alongside Fury and Monica, which she does nail in the first movie. This one, eh she could have performed a lot better that's for sure, but honestly the main trio is not the problem here. The villain is.

StorytellerDave

Gotta say, the Cats sequence was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a theater.

Broccoli Ben

Kamala and her family carried this movie for me

CarcosanTimeshare

Should've named that villain "She Who is Without Rizz". I've seen better performances from high school theater kids. I will point out though, that some of the weirdness of this film was due to the fact that it began filming as a Disney+ series, but had its budget slashed, and was changed to a singular movie some time after they were well into production. So, a story that was supposed to unfold over six, forty-plus minute episodes was crammed into an hour and forty-five minutes. Like, that "bad green screen" moment? They probably just didn't have the budget or time to put on the finishing touches. No excuse for that woman's lack of acting skills though. That's on her. Like Alicia, this is the only thing I've ever seen her in, but she feels like she belongs in a Hallmark made-for-tv movie about a small town with financial troubles. (I did, in fact, care about the X-Men stuff as much as Alicia at the end credits scene. The crowd reaction in the theater was crazy.)

CarcosanTimeshare

So much terrible character writing during that time. It really sent the "Mary Sue" discourse spiraling out of control. Not to mention misrepresenting what a Mary Sue is. Specifically it's a self-insert character, that typically just has everything go their way with little effort. Captain Marvel, Rey, etc... weren't self-inserts, they were just badly written characters. Every chud on YouTube latched onto it and made money off of making the whole situation worse.

CarcosanTimeshare

She actually didn't finish Ant Man 3? I didn't watch her reaction to it. I don't need to see that movie again after how they butchered my boy M.O.D.O.K. He's one of my favorite weird-ass third-tier villains from the comics. Utterly ruined both visually and thematically. I could even have accepted his origin as the Ant Man 1 villain getting shrunk down weird because his suit malfunctioned. But he should have been horribly scarred, and downright EVIL. Not a smarmy idiot with a redemption arc. The incident should have exacerbated and amplified every one of his worst impulses by magnitudes. M.O.D.O.K. doesn't make jokes, and the only time he should ever be smiling is when someone else is screaming in pain.
