Captain Marvel Captain Marvel General Discussion and Speculation - Part 7

[Pink Matters]

Okay, the CCXP exclusive footage sounds all sorts of awesome. I can't wait.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

The CCXP footage seems more like the Kelly Sue DeConnick version of Carol than what the trailers are showing. If they showed more of this stuff in the trailers I don't know if people would be complaining about Brie's acting (if the positive word of mouth of this footage is to be believed).

 

[Iceman]

I’ve been rewatching the trailer and am liking it even more than my first few viewings. Such a great payoff at the end after a nice long buildup.

 

[Iceman]

Found this description of the CCXP footage on Reddit. Spoilers, I guess.

Ok! So I got the chance to go to CCXP and I met @captainmarvelnews he was great! And I saw the Captain marvel footage and the brie interview .

So they took our phones to make sure no one could record (typical marvel)

So I will say I apologize to brie Larson for doubting her acting and Carol . Those damn trailers do not do her justice and I honestly feel pissed about it. She’s very funny and charming, which is why I don’t get why the hell they cut those trailers the way they did. Movie is WAYYYY colorful then it looks in the trailers, Carol is not as serious and bland as the trailers portray her. She’s actually a smartass and reminded me of starlord maybe even Tony a little with the captain America emotional tie.

So 1. Yes Law is a mentor, there’s a training sequence too where they walk in and he instantly hits and knocks her down, smooth clean scene .. and she tries to control her temper as her hand glows (obviously about to wreck his ****) and he tells her she needs to learn to control her powers and temper ( brie and Jude have great chemistry and you feel her anger.)

That scene where the laser in her head? Yeah that’s the Skrulls . They’ve captured her and tied her hands up and are using the machine on her. “Her mind will tell us what we need.” Talos ( I think, he sounded like Ben) says. So they want some information out of her head. She wakes up as we saw in the other trailer. And she uses her strength ( she’s strong as ****) to break out but can’t use her photon Blast because her hands are restricted by a machine. So she has to “do it the old school way.” And proceeds to kick Skrull ass, well choreographed fight as well. You can see the stunt double a little but they haven’t fully added Brie’s face digital yet but the scenes you see her clearly in she’s awesome.

A skrull tries to scare her by screaming at her, she screams back and smiles and punches him in the face ( it’s an excellent scene, funny and classic MCU. Brie is funny as well.) And gets the Machines off and blasts the ship to pieces before escaping in an escape pod.

Also she says higher further faster.

They showed skrulls changing, it’s mystique but more smooth? like but looks painful also you can see it. The skin sheds over and over until the new skin of formed. It’s cool.

Carol reminds me of starlord actually, she jokes a lot especially with Maria Rambue .

There’s also a top gun looking scene where Maria and Carol are joking and making fun and gossiping about their Air Force teammates (it’s very funny too, showing the typical MCU comedy.) And Maria and Carol Board their planes and Maria says “let’s show these boys how to do it!” - Great scene , showing sisterly love, feels real instead of like actors. Great job to brie and lashana!

Yet none of this was in the trailers. Because amnesia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT: This one is a bit more... professionally written.
We Saw Skrulls Shapeshift in New 'Captain Marvel' Footage At CCXP - MCUExchange

Spoiler

According to him, they were treated to a clip of a scene from the trailer where Carol is hung upside down and trapped in some probing device by the Skrulls and Ben Mendelsohn‘s Talos. Talos describes Carol’s mind “having everything they need” indicating some secrets they’re dying to get their hands on. Carol breaks free from the probing device but is restricted from using her powers thanks to a nullifying device. So she screams at the Skrulls saying she’ll do it “old-school” and proceeds to beat them up with ease. She then manages to destroy the nullifying device and blows a hole in their ship, blasting the remaining Skrulls away to space. The clip ends with her riding an escape pod.

Tiago says this clip transitions into a brand new sizzle reel which showed a heck of a lot more good stuff than this week’s trailer. Annette Benning‘s mysterious character describes Carol being “reborn in Hala,” which fans know to be the Kree homeworld. A quick training scene with Carol and Law was also shown. It showed them walking in a training arena where Law’s character knocks her down. Carol lights up her fist and he tells her she needs to learn to control her powers.

They also finally revealed some actual shapeshifting. At a very quick glance, Tiago described it as a smoother, more reptilian version of Mystique’s transformation in the X-Men films. But upon seeing the transformation a second time, it was described as “several bits of human skin growing and they meet eventually to form an actual skin.” He also compared it to the particle visual effect of the Reality Stone in Infinity War. Tiago loved it so we’re definitely optimistic about it!

Love the sound of this stuff

Is there likely to be another trailer?

 

[CaptainMarvel19]

yep, it sounds great.

other than the footage, we got the same She is the strongest etc etc.

 

[flickchick85]

Is there likely to be another trailer?

Either a final trailer or Superbowl spot. And then a ton of TV spots.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Footage sounds good. I hope they start marketing this with more of that energy. I want this to be a success.

 

[Damkac]

It sounds good but why they didn't showed this funny, charming Carol even for a second in the trailer? After everyone was complaining about Carol being boring in the 1st trailer?

 

[Jesse Jimenez]

This movie for me went from absolutely irrelevant to get me very hyped, both trailers are awesome and all about it looks great.
Looks like a complex, dramatic movie with lots of science fiction, timelines and Marvel cosmic stuff, the protagonist powers and story sound very interesting. It truly feels like a comic book movie.
I like that it looks serious and i hope that the jokes are not the kind that get in the way of the story or characters, but i doubt they will drop the ball being the bridge to Avengers Endgame.
2019 is gonna be an awesome year with Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame and then finally Dark Phoenix, i cannot wait.

You forgot Far From Home

 

[seridrl]

So far I'm happy with everything we're hearing about this movie. I like the slight sombre feel to the trailers, but with some great action mixed in. I also like the mystery element they are selling with her amnesia and it being an origin well discover as she does. But equally I like the stuff we're hearing from brazil about the new footage and how the feel of that add something else to the movie and gives us some sass and friendships for Carol.

I imagine next year when the promo really starts up and we get tv spots and stuff they'll highlight many different things to try to show off as many different sides to the movie and Carol as possible to interest as many people as possible.

 

[Abudefduf]

EDIT: This is adorable.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I thought the new trailer was pretty good, I get a similar vibe to the first Thor movie and I really like the look of the dynamic between Carol and Fury, which I think will anchor the movie.

Some of those described scenes need to be in the next trailer. I've been liking them a lot, but going on Marvel Faith that the trailers don't show all. Are the trailers outsourced or are they made in-house? Cause if they are out-sourced to a third party then that could be a reason why there is a character disconnect.

 

[Iceman]

I can’t believe we got such a crazy money shot in there (and a well stacked trailer in general), with more to come.

 

[Kev4000]

Thank you, good News for me. I was never doubt Brie coudnt act, but is good to see the script gives her some space to be funny and lovely.

 

[Thome216]

EDIT: This is adorable.

Totally agree! A fortuitous moment. Here's another take.

 

[Shuri]

The above trailer description sounds great. I still have no issues with how marvel marketed this, I know we'll still see some of the above descriptions in TV spots. Fact is, you can never please everybody. I bet you if we have gotten the Brazil trailer, some would complain it's too funny and that Carol is a tony or starlord wannabe. That guy loved it and he still compared her to them, the naysayers would complain about the MCU humor. Tptb already said Carol would be funny so I wasn't worried about not seeing that in the trailers we got.

And I never had any issues with the people that didn't like the trailer, my issues were with those dismissing Brie's performance and saying she was miscast without giving her a chance.

[KBX]

Lol does Portman talk about her time in the Thor Franchise?

 

[flickchick85]

Nope!

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder how much money it would cost to bring her back?

I hope she never comes back. Jane and Darcy can go to the same planet Sif and Sharon relocated to.
