New poster looks really good:

Sounds like she's basically Samus.

Or the other way around rather.

You two obviously haven't seen the latest MCU movies, otherwise you'd know that if you think the trailer showed us how it goes in the movie, you'd be very wrong. They edit the trailers to give an impression of the plot/proceedings that ends up being very different in the movie. In addition, they might change several of the shots from the trailers in the actual movie. Admit it, you're getting played again!

I have seen them all actually. I don't think I am getting played but my interest level is low. I am more interested in Avengers Endgame. I do realize she will likely play a huge role in it but I am just personally tired of background story movies lol. im almost superheroed out but I gotta plow through to the end of Avengers lol

Dunno if I already posted it on here but I will anyways......Brie Larson.....meh.

She's a solid actress and all but she doesn't strike me as superhero material the way Gal Gadot does as Wonder Woman. Brie Larson's voice and presence is more teenage or young adult-ish than strong woman-ish....if that makes any sense.

Don’t really know Brie Larson other than from the trailer, but Charlize Theron seems like she would have been perfect.

There were a lot of people who doubted Gal Gadot's casting too tbf. A lot of questions as to why you'd cast a rail thin supermodel to be this super strong Amazonian princess. Turns out she was great in the role.

No idea how the movie will be but I f***ing love Brie Larson. Room is still one of my favourite movies.

Check out the movie Room. Fantastic stuff.

Looks interesting, thanks.

Age thing, they went with a talented actress who could play the role for the next decade. In ten years Theron will be 54?

 

[Pilky01]

Look like more Misery Porn. I hate that shit.

Yeah, if they plan on featuring the character in future films that makes sense.

 

[beowulf]

Dropped on Christmas day but seems to be mostly the same content unless I missed something

 

[beowulf]

A small amount of new content

 

[Jussi]

I didn't see any new bits. The carting scenes looked to be just mirrored.

 

[Jussi]

That was honestly better than the previous two trailers. Brie Larson came off much better in that.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Her mohawk needs more hair. Kinda looks like a knock-off spartan helmet as off now. Hope it gets edited.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Dunno how I'm going to feel about this one. I love Brie Larson as an actor(Short Term 12 is one of my favorite movies ever) but I'm not sure if she fits the Super Hero role honestly.


I've also felt like almost all of the jokes in the trailer have fallen flat for me. Not sure if it's the delivery or the writing though.


I'm still going to see it day one no question about it but I dont have all that high of expectations.

 

[John Price]

I don't understand the criticism towards Brie Larson. She seems well suited for the role.

Shield logo hats

Nick Fury retort

I don't get it either. Some people are going crazy over her not smiling; that's so ridiculous. It's hard to gauge a sense of the character when they've showed maybe 2 minutes of footage fromt he character; the trailers have been pretty much showing the same clips. I've never been much of a Captain Marvel fan, so I'm seeing this more because it's a MCU film. As far as female characters go, majority of Marvel's best are in the X-Men (Scarlet Witch exclude) but luckily they've gotten that property back.

Looks interesting, thanks.

It's better than interesting, it is a very good movie.

The need for nerds to comment on how much of a fit someone is for a role based on nothing but trailers and looks is really pathetic. Let's see the movie, then pass judgment. I don't remember this whole "this actor doesn't do X enough/other actor Y would have been better" happening for any of the male stars.

 

[Pilky01]

Still looks fine.

If this weren't the lead in to The Avengers I probably wouldn't see it in theatres since I don't know/care about the main character (I skipped Dr. Strange and the Guardians movies for the same reason) but with Avengers right around the corner I will definitely see it. Probably opening night.

Hoping its good. The trailers don't do a ton for me, but hopefully that just means they are making an effort to keep the story under wraps.

And I still hate that shield hat. That isn't a 90's style baseball cap at all. It looks like they went down to the New Era store yesterday and had them stitch the logo onto a hat off the shelf. Nobody except for MLB players wore fitted hats back then.

You should check out the Solo: A Star Wars Story thread.

I meant more for the superhero stuff but fair point.
