Again welcome back brother.
Fun Fact : Her scenes in Endgame were shot before her actual movie. So technically 'Captain Marvel' is her second MCU movie
Love the reactions from you both ❤️ Captain Marvel is the best MCU Introduction movie imo.
Yeah Yeah
Assemble! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
You're right. Captain Marvel released about 3 months after Stan Lee died, so they placed all his cameos in the title card as a loving tribute to his life. Rest in peace, Mr Lee, for giving us these wonderful and important characters. You will be missed.
Marvel really knows how to cast their movies and shows, but they also know how to craft characters and scripts in ways that make the characters not only accessible but also relateable. The scene where "Vers" is in the backyard trying to cope with the fact that the Kree have been lying to her for 6 years in order to control her, and she's only just finding out about who she had been, and that POWERFULLY DELIVERED monologue from Lashana Lynch as Monica Rambeau relaying to her the important stuff. It's like "You don't know who you are, Im gonna tell you who you are and what you mean to me as a friend, loved one, someone who believed in me when no one else did." And the hug at the end .... ooof! Never fails to get me misty-eyed.
How weird is it that most of the best moments in any Marvel film aren't really the fights, the visual spectacle, or the powers of the heroes, its really the dialogue scenes between two or more characters that are usually the most poignant, meaningful, and well-written. It's drama, and I love it!
My favorite Captain Marvel quote comes from my favorite comic writer of her, Kelly Sue DeConnick. She said, "Captain America gets back up because it's the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because f*ck you."
That rhymes 😅
1:12:50 Things not being what they appear to be is a big theme of this film. A lot of the characters change their roles in the film. The Kree-Skrull war isn't what you thought it was. The heroes aren't the good guys, and the villains aren't the bad guys, and Mar-Vell's earth base isn't on earth. And the cat's not a cat.
It’s funny that the actress that plays Monica said “you’re gonna give that up to sit on the couch and watch fresh prince with me” and now she’s playing Ashley in the reboot of the Fresh Prince (Bel-Air) 😂
Wait, What? Now I'm going to start watching it closer to when I thought I was going to start watching.
I really like the fact that you two were not swayed by the internet or public opinion about this movie. I'm glad you two liked it.
It's not movie of the year but CAPTAIN MARVEL is an entertaining & fun movie that shouldn't get so much hate
I saw this movie in the theatre when it first came up, and I damn near teared up seeing that tribute to Stan Lee in the opening. If I remember correctly, this was the first MCU movie to come out after his death.
I'm a day late to the party, so someone else may have already explained this, but as I understand it, the cameo for Captain Marvel was the last one Stan Lee was alive to film.
As for the script, it's for Mallrats, a movie that came out in the 90s, in which Stan has a cameo playing himself.
The line you hear him repeating is from his *actual part* in the film.
While I don't know that it's ever been confirmed/addressed by the Captain Marvel filmmakers, my personal theory is that we're meant to see this as *the real Stan Lee* rehearsing in preparation to shoot that very cameo.
[perhaps he was even en route to the actual shoot during their meet]
The funny side-effect of this is that, assuming the script Stan’s reading has the same author, Kevin Smith canonically exists in the MCU.
Yes, they called up Kevin Smithh and at first Mr Smith was excited. He thought that Marvel wante him in the MCU, ut they wanted just the script.
"You have this Kree part of her that's unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive. Then there's this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It's the thing that gets her in trouble, but it's also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her."
Also she used to be a human soldier. Nobody bats an eye when male (ex-)soldiers like the Equalizer act all cool, collected, only showing subtle facial expressions. God forbid a woman ever acted collected and quietly self-assured though. In my opinion she does not act unemotional at any point of the movie. People who think that just are bad at reading subtle emotions (or more likely just have a bias against women being subtle and emotionally complex).
Loved your review. When I saw it I enjoyed that the audience experienced Danvers' self-discovery along with her. It made the character's frustration relatable.
Personal note: I was an extra for the underground tunnel scene that was filmed at the Shaver Lake Edison hydroelectric dam just North-East of Fresno, CA.
I gained a TON of respect for people who work on these movies. We extras had to be on set by 5 am for wardrobe and the film crew were already there working.
Shooting and post-shooting digital image capture finished around 5 pm, and the film crew were still hard at work wrapping things up. They work HARD.
I can’t wait for you guys to get into these MCU TV shows after endgame (especially WandaVision) I just know Monica is gonna love it 😂
I loved the conversation with them talking about everyone calling him Fury, including his mum. Recently watched the amazon prime series Reacher and everyone in that calls Jack Reacher by his surname, even his mum, and the best thing is he's got an older brother. It makes no sense, but I love it!
I knew Monica was going to love her, for exactly the reasons she said at the end and that all of the people telling her to control her emotions were going to piss Monica off as well. Glad someone else doesn't dislike the character just because she's super-powerful
Just waiting for this and was refreshing the whole page for 10 minutes.
I REALLY like the chemistry that develops between Carol and Fury. I understand that it extends to real life.
And in that scene where she offers to arm-wrestle for the tesseract, I always wonder who I would be arm-wrestling. Captain Mar-vell? She would rip my arm off. Literally. Carol Danvers? Well, I would get to keep my arm, but I would probably lose badly. Brie Larsen? I suspect she would win too, but at least I would have a chance.
After watching this movie you have to remember Fury's words in Winter Soldier to Cap: "Last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye." And now we have seen exactly that...
An insultingly bad origin for a badass line....He had always meant someone as a person
@@maxim196 I agree that was a terrible way for him to lose his eye(I was glad Monica was just as disappointed as we were) but with that said you can't speak for Fury saying what he always meant
@@maxim196 Typical Fury. His secrets have secrets. I kind of love how much of a master manipulator he is.
At least he lost his eye to a high-level threat.
Your reaction was I believe the right one, to have. People can disagree with the choice, that is fair, but I think the creative team wanted to put the audience in the head of the lead character and show you how confused she was by all that was going on.
Just my opinion, but it seemed the more information "Vers" gained the calmer and less hectic the film got. So, by the time she gets to Carol Danvers, she is cracking jokes and back to her "pain in the ass" psyche that Monique Rambo talked about.
I could be wrong, I just really, really liked this movie and am still waiting on reasons outside of her being a girl and saying it would ne nice to have more girls on the press tours, because maybe she would be asked more questions than about her diet, lack of skin in the costume, how her butt looked and who would the character date.
I had no major issues with the film, except for it being nothing special and kinda meh to an extent... In my opinion, Carol is overshadowed by Fury and maybe the lead Skrull... And Goose lol. She could have easily been a supporting character in the movie if she wasn't in it so much compared to the others.
Of all the MCU movies, I think this was the one time they didn't nail the character... That or they nailed the character and the character just wasn't particularly good lol. Most people probably appreciate Carol mostly for giving Rogue her super strength and power of flight >_
@Kitsy X tbh it's like that a lot of the time with Marvel leads and just lead characters in action/adventure in general. Who. Would say that Luke Skywalker, Neo, Fredo Baggins, and a slew of others aren't outshined by cooler, wittier, more badass other main/supporting characters. Even in recent Marvel filmography, Shang-Chi wasn't wasn't best part of his movie. It happens🤷♂️
@@2thRiteFREESPEEisAVirtueSignal I don't know, I like most Marvel leads as main characters in the MCU... And even if they are overshadowed a bit, it's normally not so much... True, many of those characters you mentioned aren't always the standout, but they also usually make up for that in the journey that they go on as a character... Their progression... Not to say that Carol doesn't progress, but it's almost like she progresses back to her starting point, instead of forward... I'm not sure how best to explain... Hopefully you get what I mean.
Stan was reading the Mallrats script by Kevin Smith. It's a real film he appeared in the 90s. (And Captain Marvel was his last MCU film he cameoed in before he passed away. His last non-MCU movie was his voicework appearance in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-verse.)
Let me try to explain the original Kree-Skrull metaphor from the comic books.
During the Cold War, a lot of Americans didn't understand why other nations-including our allies-were unhappy with some of the things America did during the Cold War.
The Kree-Skrull conflict is meant to make those complaints more understandable to Americans. The Kree and the Skrull use entire planets as pawns in their conflict in the same way that America and the Soviet Union used entire nations as pawns in our conflict during the Cold War.
Occasionally, Earth becomes a place of strategic import in the Kree-Skrull conflict, and Earth is almost helpless to do much about whatever the Kree or the Skrulls decide to get up to.
This movie gets better with time as it's Easter Eggs are revealed down the MCU road.
This movie got better for me each time I watch it
4:48 yup it was him ! Since that movie's events are before Guardians of the Galaxy and he is Kree. Same for Ronan.
Finally some who likes this movie as much as me!! Cant wait for the next one.
Its a fine movie. Its nowhere near as bad as all the haters make it seem. Its also not anywhere near the greatest thing ive ever seen either. Its just a middle of the road movie. And there is nothing wrong with that. 90% of movies are middle of the road.
@@WheresWaldo05 Yes !! Thank you !! I feel the exact same way.
4:32 - yes, and you also have Ronan the Accuser in this movie (before he went rogue)
Captain Marvel absorbs energy, so it's easy for her to stay powered
yes the guy who was working ronan in the guardians of the galaxy , the 1 who drax said "finger to the throat means death" then ripped the metal thing from the side of his head
Captain Marvel can absorb kinetic energy and dish it back out to you
The first time I watched this movie I was sooo confused, and thought it was just ok. But the second time I watched it, I understood it more and liked it. The more times I watch this movie, the more I like it. It really is an underrated MCU movie. I thoroughly enjoy this movie now. Captain Marvel is a badass character.
It doesn't deserve to be hated maybe, but I'd feel weird calling it underrated...
I dunno... Carol just doesn't grab me as a character... She's like a side character in her own movie almost... Not that it helps that Sam L. Jackson is so good and steals the show all the time lol. But then maybe I wouldn't have liked the film as much if he didn't...
I suppose maybe I enjoy it a bit more than the first two Thor movies... I'm not sure... It's weird because I kinda like it better overall, but I enjoy the characters more in the others and it kinda carries them higher... I think there's potential for Brie Larson's Carol in future, but yeah... I kinda got her motivations, but I had to kinda reverse engineer them from what they seemed to be trying to do at the climax or something... It's weird... In my opinion, the movie didn't do it very successfully... I wasn't ever confused, but neither did it hit impactfully... Hopefully that makes sense...
Fscts
@@KitsyX definitely doesn’t deserve the hate hopefully she can make up for in the second one
brilliant as always guys, you two never disappoint; eagerly waitin' fer "A:Endgame" and more! Much aloha you two and big ups:-)
I really like this movie. Goose is always a win 😻
I forgot that he had a name. 😅
She really is a Monica! 🤣
Just beautiful 😜 This is one of my favorite reactions 👍
Stay safe and be awesome Rico and Monica! This was a fantastic review and I absolutely loved it! :)
very great reaction loved it🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes Rico you are right he is Korath and he was in GOTG, nice catch.
All we know is that Captain Marvel is imbued with a ridiculous amount of cosmic energy, specifically the energy of an infinity stone (the space stone)
For some reason this movie and Brie's performance wasn't recieved well by some but I throughly enjoy and really like this movie. Glad to see you like it as well^^
They were mad at her because she said something about white men and it was true. Still, some cry babies will whine about it.
@@zuzauramek9850 I don’t think that’s the only or main reason people don’t like this movie. I’ve heard multiple opinions about it. It’s not the best movie but it’s still decent
It's coz Captain Marvel doesn't fit into the male gaze lol. She's good at everything, and for them women shouldn't be able to do that. They can't comprehend the fact that it's possible for a women to have that nonchalant, more contained emotion, sarcastic and effortless personality and be powerful at the same time. A women can only be super powerful for them if there's a major drawback, let's say for example Black widow, she identically has Danver's sarcastic and effortless personality but she's not OP so its ok. The same case with Wanda, she is on the other hand is OP, but she has to have a major flaw-in which she can't control her emotions.
@@jbonceu2457 I doubt that. I mean sure I've experienced people like that, but I think that's a rather loud minority. At least I hope so.
That there's a drawback to Wanda being OP has nothing to do with her sex. That's a storytelling element that all super powerfull characters share. If a character is so OP that literally nothing can harm them (like Superman for example) there have to be other stakes or issues to them, otherwise they'd just be boring.
Most of the negative reactions I've seen with regards to the actual film had to do with Carol being unemotional, wooden, etc. as if they missed the whole point of her Kree training was to suppress her personality and be exactly that.
Her going from not really being interested in watching the first Ironman to her doing her little excited dance to finally watch Endgame. PRICELESS.
Woo-hoo! Friday upload :D perfect to get me thru a weekend of being sick. Hope y'all are doing well across the pond!
edit: Carol and Spidey are my two favorite Marvel heroes and I absolutely love this movie! Between this and Endgame, I saw each one probably 5 times in theaters.
edit 2: This and Endgame were Stan Lee's final cameos.
You caught the "Vers", if you watch "closely" you'll see Monica has her service tag that says, "Carol Da" and Yonn-Rogg picked up the "vers" piece.
captain marvellous
I'm so glad you guys are back!!! Looking forward to all your future uploads!
captain marvel is the long kiss goodnight with geena davis but in space
I remember really liking this movie when it first came out, despite all the haters raging about it. And it gets better the more I watch it. Captain Marvel is definitely OP but there’s plenty of superheroes who are op too lol. I love her friendly chemistry with fury 😆
It is a good movie. Most of the hate didn't come from the movie but from comments the actress made. Some attacked her performance, but having seen her in other movies, I assume that it was on purpose by her or the director.
@@LOTRFAN33 what comments did she make? I didn't know and am now very interested😅, so could you pls tell me more about it?
@@LOTRFAN33 but she didn’t even make any bad comments lmao most of the hate was just people being sensitive and others joining the bandwagon
@@ghxsty_
I have tried to post twice and it is not showing up. So this is a test.
Edit ... So this worked. I will try to post tomorrow with responses.
@@leave_it_in_peace
brie larson had some (deservedly) harsh words for a bunch of white male critics who wanted to gang up on a film starring a young woman of color.
Did i just binge watch all the marvel reactions? Yes, yes i did 😂
What a nice surprise! On a Friday… SHOUTOUT RICO AND MONICA ❤️
I really enjoy this movie, it feels different from a lot of the other marvel movies. Loved this reaction!
Happy to see you are back and healthy👌🏿
LOVE THIS FILM! Captain Marvel is awesome and THERES LOT coming up from her
1:11:40 She was transformed by the Space-Stone. She's connected to cosmic energies. Not only does the energy from the stone not run out, but she can absorb and alter the energy around her. That includes kinetic energy as well. In the comics, her connection to the cosmos is more complicated and involves the X-Men, but it was shortened quite a bit for the MCU.
Loved this movie! So happy to see you react to it, and now looking forward to 'Endgame' Woo!
my favourite mcu origin movie
Stan Lee was reading the script for Mallrats. He had a cameo. Kevin Smith directed Mallrats and, somewhere on the interwebs, he talks about this.
I was just thinking how long you guys have been gone but now you've given us Antman and the Wasp & Captain Marvel. I hope Endgame comes soon, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting. ❤️
Good to have you back
The nirvana scene near the end is my favorite scene.
i just got this notification
Thank God y’all back lol
This film has mixed reviews for various reasons, but I rate it and welcome Captain Marvel to the MCU.
Greetings from Germany
1:00:05 She's saying Thor can't do this but Thor was doing exactly that which was destroying Thanos' space fleet in Wakanda while Thanos was handling the Avengers trying to get the mind stone from Vison.
Great Job 👍
I have to say. I watch a lot of reaction videos. It's just a great way to re-watch my favorite movies and see them through someone else's eyes.
Of all the react channels, you 2 are one of my favorites (top 2 of 40). Seriously. There is a genuine and "unspoiled" nature to your reactions. A LOT of the other UA-cam reactors try to fake this. But you too have a real thing going.
PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THIS!
There will be a lot of pressure from commenters, fans, and competition. But keep this very special attribute going.
Again, great reactions. Really like the comments about how they portrayed Captain Marvel's character. This is actually the only strong female lead movie where the strong female lead was not characterized by her unbelievable strong sexuality (or fake empowerment as I like to say). In fact, it's the only one that has dared to not even include a hint of a "love" interest. Her characterization was driven by her choices, her own will, and her identity. This is so rare! My hat goes off to Marvel for that.
Sorry this was so long, and again, keep doing what you are doing
Ever been to C-53 (Earth)
Sersi in Captain Marvel : "Once. Its a real shithole."
...
Sersi in Eternals when they first arrived at earth : "Its beatiful isn't it?"
😅
I loved this movie when I went to see it, but for me there was an extra bonus of it taking place (largely) in the mid-90's which was the time I was at the prime of my youth! :D But I also appreciated the strong and empowered female character NOT reduced to eye-candy, sidekick, love interest and such on. Of course young Fury and Coulson were a treat too, and I really enjoy Talos as well. Glad to see you guys liked it too.
Oh and it wasn't that confusing when you're not binging the movies in order, I had watched some of the earlier films by the time this was in the cinema several times, especially Guardians since those are high among my fave MCU films. And having read some of the comics as a kid helped with the whole Skrull/Kree thing. I've noticed some reactors are pretty impatient with the "main storyline" and can end up paying less attention to films that don't directly contribute to it which is a pity. Fortunately you don't have it.
I thought you guys do Marvel movies every Monday. At least we're closer to Endgame
16:35 - that year, Stan Lee had a cameo in the movie "Mall Rats". that was one of he's lines
Stan had a whole monologs in that film, his cameo in Mallrats remains one of my favorites.
Rico: So glad you're feeling fit and healthy again. Always in our prayers, bro.
Monica... I wanted to leave this comment in your Infinity War reaction, but I didn't, so, I'll do it now.... "You're one of usssssss......"
Welcome. There's no way out.
I can't wait til the Endgame reaction. I've loved all your vids so far. It started with Harry, and it will end with..... "..."
Stan was reading his line for his cameo in Mallrats (Kevin Smith)
“I don’t even know who I am!”😢
“The most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire from your fists” kind of reminds me of who Steve Rogers was before taking the serum.
The Supreme Intelligence is not an AI. It's much more creepy than that. It is a gestalt mind made up of the most intelligent Kree. As individuals die, new Kree are "plugged in."
Thus, it is a singular intelligence with a lifespan many times that of a normal Kree.
The Kree used to be an egalitarian society with artists and scientists, but the moment the Supreme Intelligence took over, he turned all of Kree civilization into a giant military and started conquering everything out could. There are Kree who would like to go back to the old ways, but no rebellion or uprising is ever successful because the Supreme Intelligence is too smart.
The funny thing is, Fury can tell aliens that he lost his eye to a Flerken, and they will be impressed.
This was fun. Mainly, I started getting worked up about you guys getting to "Wanda Vision." "Monica..." you're in for a treat. Dude... the editing... (an Italian) "MMMMMMMMmmmmmWAH" to you. Perfecto.
You know the UA-cam uploads are several months behind right lol? They've just watched Shang Chi on their Patreon.
@@matthewchampion8214 Thank you. That fact is so relevant to my daily life. You're my hero Matthew. "With great power..."
Fun fact Samuel L Jackson work with Brie Larson on unicorn store, Kong skull island, AND this
Monica is spot on when she said that Carol is the strongest. Most powerful is also a woman, Wanda.
fury is a great singer
yooo new reaction!!!
perfect timing
It makes me laugh everytime I remember what Nick said in Winter Soldier - "The last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye" knowing now it's because of Goose 😂😄
The script he was reading was from Mallrats, a '95 Kevin Smith movie. If I'm not mistaken, the story i heard anyway, was that Stan Lee was pretty weak when they were filming Captain Marvel and they got outtake audio from Kevin Smith of Stan's line "trust me, true believer" for them to use here because he could barely speak in the end.
@15:00, the female Kree soldier is played by actress Gemma Chan. She also plays the character Cersi in the MCU film The Eternals.
Fury actually said "Last time I trusted someone I lost an eye"
Thx for uploading before monday, so Ig on monday we getting endgame😄
@29:44 That’s the Quadjet, predecessor to the Quinjet.
One of my faves. Great reaction!
Nexxxtt End Game!! So excited!
I LOVE CAPTAIN MARVEL! Such a badass 90’s origin film! Carol is the best! Can’t wait for The Marvels
I love how they incorporated his "Mallrats" Cameo where he told a person in the movie all his characters were how he dealt with losing a love
Lawson was Mar-vel she told Carol when she was dying xx
29:22 “They’ve had each other backs since day one…”, except that one time Fury didn’t have Coulson’s back… but Loki did. 🧝♂️🔪🤵♂️🩸. Ouch. 😂 😆 sorrry. Sorrryy. Too soon!
It's funny that now we know how fury lost his eye😅🤣🤣🤣. Imagine is Tony or any avengers knew this
Appreciate this early drop 🦾👌🏼
There is a Boxer here in the states named George Foreman and he named all his kids George, even the girls.
Great reaction but we all know we have been waiting for the next ones can't wait guys
Some people in the fandom hate Carol because she's powerful. Simply because she's more powerful than their favorite male characters like Thor.
Love this movie so much.... Glad you enjoyed it as well!
A reaction movie on a non monday!!! 😎😎😎😎
OMG I don't know how I missed these last few uploads. Going back to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Please we need the videos faster.. I’ve been watching everything you posted at least 4 times. I love y’alls reactions😩😩
i loved cap marvel
Liked the fact that you liked it.. but wait till you actually see the most powerful female character.. you'll probably appreciate the development of that perticular character so much
Are you talking about captain marvel or are you talking about THAT character who singlehandedly almost ended thanos
It's not a cat. It's a flerken! 🤣 I love how this turned into a running theme for this reaction.
As far as Fury's comment about "the last person he trusted"...he's talking about Carol. If it weren't for Carol, he wouldn't have gotten scratched by Goose.
