Captain Marvel Captain Marvel General Discussion and Speculation - Part 9

[kvz5]

Almost all of them have called Fury “Nick” at some point.

 

[Patrick77]

On that topic, we have to infer that Fury changes his mind at some point, maybe because...

Spoiler

Talos ends up being a friend? Talos is the one who initially calls him Nick.

The movie is basically giving us a glimpse of Fury before he became quite such an imposing, mysterious figure, so maybe that is part of it.

Along with the eye, obviously. It's implied that people don't really know what happened, and that it starts to become part of the Nick Fury legend, so to speak.

 

[Endeavor]

I hope her sequels are set in space, after the events of this movie and before Endgame...
At least CM2.
Then you can have the 3rd one deal with her acclimating back to being on Earth, after Endgame.

1. Not sure
2. There are variations among the Kree so there are ones who are blue, brown (Djimon Hounsou's Korath), and pink (Jude Law's Yon-Rogg)
3. She probably has it for the same reasons as Carol and other StarForce members, protection and enhancement of their skills/abilities
4. I imagine she probably still does
5. We'll have to wait until EG to find out
6. Have to imagine having a near Earth-destroying moment from the Kree that was only stopped due to CM impacted his actions. Likely also became more hardened as he became more aware of SHIELD's secrets/actions and potential imminent threats as he rose up to become Director.

Thoughts after a 3rd viewing:

1. After death, why does the Skrull sim victim's clothing not revert back?
2. Why does Yon-Rogg not have blue skin like the other Kree?
3. Why does Minn-Erva wear a mask on missions?
4. Does CM still have some kind of mix of human/Kree blood?
5. Will they explain why she didn't age between CM and EG? Did she ever visit earth again in between?
6. What hardened Fury so thoroughly between CM and Iron Man?

Unrelated, but...

If everyone calls him Fury, why does Hill yell, "Nick, Nick!" at the end of IW?

1. Not really sure what you mean. Depends on time of death and if it's mid transformation I guess?

2. Like humans, or any group of people, they have different shades of skin. Not all Kree have to be blue. Like the Skrulls, not all Skrulls have to be evil. But I'm sure there's a more thought out comic book explanation about Yon and others being caucasian that I'm not familiar with, lol.

3. Because it looks cool? Lol. Or for protection because the whole team wear masks, for any given reason. Minerva doesn't wear it later in the movie, like the rest of the team, so I didn't even think about it honestly.

4. I think so right?

5. I think they actually show it in the credits. I think it's hinted at she enters a worm hole or some kind of time band. Or the other side of the galaxy has a much much different sense of time. Think Interstellar, where on another world, every hour could be 7 years on earth. This would also impact how she responds to Fury's page, or multiple pages through out the years. Maybe she gets them all at once.

6. I don't necessarily think he's super hardened in Iron Man. He still cracks jokes form time to time, even in Avengers. Plus, aging can make us all a little bitter haha. Winter Soldier does more for furthering his hardening then the Iron Man films do IMO. But I like the mystery either way. I mean, the shock of dealing with aliens for your first time, and then becoming friends with some of them, and them leaving to basically never be heard from again, can cause major anxiety. Much like what Stark went through in Iron Man 3. Fury spending so many years searching for super humans, being endlessly frustrated and KNOWING there are threats out there beyond humans... that's a heavy load to carry on your mind for many years. And especially if he misses Carol as a true friend, that's also hard to deal with. Maybe Maria has since passed away and he couldn't contact Carol and Fury thinks she is gone forever.

I REALLY hope Endgame touches upon some of these factors, I hope Fury is somewhat bitter toward Carol even. Guh, I wish Captain Marvel wasn't connected to these MCU movies so these stories are given the proper time to be fleshed out. Oh well, lol.

That’s my hope for CM2 as well.

Quoting Feige:

“Well, we don’t know what she did, right? She said she was going to and she went flying off at the end, and then we jump many years into the future. What happened in that intervening time, I think, is something that would be a lot of fun to explore at some point.”

So, I'd say there's a good chance that the sequel will indeed be set chronoligically between CM and Endgame.

Damn, she looks like she's a bomb just starting to explode!

Cheadle is such a treasure.

Well, this took some time, but I am finally going to my 2nd viewing in a few minutes.

Can't wait!

Let us know what you think! This movie has proven to be improvement upon second view.

 

[Thome216]

Doing a third tomorrow. Probably last. Well worth it though.

I hope if they bring back Ronan, they will not waste him as a villain for the third time. Please make better use of Lee Pace's talent!

Maybe he lightened up on that after the 90s.

 

[Thome216]

He always regretted not letting Carol call him Nick.

Just got done with my 8th and final viewing tonight. It’s a sad time, this will no longer be screened in the IMAX theater near me. So I had my farewell tour today with 3 viewings straight in a row.

I still loved every single viewing all the same. This movie connects to me unlike any MCU movie. All the faults, all the quirk and charm and personality. It’s truly a special gem in the MCU and I CAN NOT wait until I can get my hands on the Blu Ray later this year. It’s been a ride, almost living at the theater this month. I’ve never seen a movie in theaters this many times. The only time I ever got close was with The Dark Knight Rises at 5 times. And that is a very special movie to me.

Captain Marvel could never top TDKR, but it is so infinitely rewatchable, I feel like I could go 8 more times and never get sick of it! I wish I could honestly. But money and time, and ending it’s run in IMAX prevent that.

Just wow. I couldn’t have given 2 craps less for Captain Marvel before this film. Now she’s my favorite character in the MCU just like that, and it has me devouring her comics. Bravo Marvel and Disney. I never thought something like this would happen.
