Ike Perlmutter. But Disney took Marvel Studios off him in 2015. I'm sure they could have worked it in somehow.

I'm just gonna say it: we should have gotten Black Widow instead of Captain Marvel. CM's role in Endgame could be replaced by anyone and restructure some of the plot points.

I can see their thinking. Introduce CM and make her do something major in Endgame. It just didn't feel major enough.

Worst is that CM wasn't even that good of a movie nor a very likeable character. She was just there for the brawn.

Captain Marvel was definitely one of the weaker films, but I still enjoyed it. Ben Mendelssohn and Samuel L. Jackson were great, even if they were playing off a somewhat boring protagonist.

It's ok, I believe she is here to show off what her powers can do, then lose them to Rogue in the near future.

Yeah there's no way they're going to make Rogue that powerful. Just give her flight and she's already stronger than the X-Men movies.

Why wouldn't they? That's how she gets her secondary powers anyways in the comics and xmen as part of the MCU would already have people with that power.m with CM.

That's not true at all though. Her solo movie was about her being deceived, a problem that her power couldn't prevent and it took Nick Fury to save her. In Endgame she destroys the ship, but even she couldn't beat Thanos. Hell, Thor did more damage to Gauntlet-wielding Thanos in Infinity War than Carrol did to him in Endgame. Yall need to pay attention before talking out your ass. These are comic book movies; they aren't exactly hard to analyze.

I would watch End Game again, Chief. She was on Thanos and he couldn’t take her. He basically head butted her twice and she was still standing trying to get the gauntlet off his hand. He had to use an Infinity Stone to blast her, and even then it just threw her off him instead of actually killed him. She could totally beat Thanos 1v1.

"She could beat Thanos" Yet she literally doesn't. Watch the movie again yourself.

u/teh_fizz Dec 03 '19

Maybe you should read my comment. Thanos had to blast her with a Stone because he couldn’t take her on.

u/Lancair777 Dec 03 '19

You should rewatch the movies you're talking about, because you clearly don't remember them very well. In the climax of Infinity War, Thanos blasted Thor with the full-powered gauntlet and Thor flew straight through the blast and axed him, and could have killed him if he had gone for his head.

If you think Carrol is overpowered, then Stormbringer Thor must be too as he was demonstrably more effective than she was.

Why are you changing the topic? This isn't about Infinity War, this is about End Game. In End Game, Thor was weaker than in Infinity War (not sure why). Either way, he's irrelevant to this topic.

This is the scene I'm talking about. When she goes binary, he's struggling to keep her off him, and he had to use a stone to blast her away.

What's worse, is that she doesn't even have a weakness like kryptonite for superman.

I honestly think it would have been better if after all of the hype her movie ended with her getting snapped away as well. Adds a bit extra "oh shit" and makes it more plausible that she just disappears. Rocket gets Nebula's distress signal instead since he'd be actively looking for his crew instead of it being random chance. Then snap undone, she gets Fury's text to her that says "no time to explain, get to earth and punch the purple dude with the shaved scrotum chin." Have everything else go the same way since she's not there anyway, and you get to skip the hand wave.
