Here it is.
I'm going to bat for Captain Marvel. Out of all the MCU origin movies - and I haven't seen an MCU film since Endgame, so forgive me if it sounds like I'm snubbing The X-Ternals or whatever - I think hers was easily in the top three. Obviously nothing's going to be as good as that first Iron Man; if it wasn't exceptional, we wouldn't even have an MCU. But I'd say Captain Marvel was up there with Guardians of the Galaxy, better than Captain America or Ant-Man, and WAY better than Thor, Doctor Strange, or Black Panther (Hulk and Spider-Man didn't get standalone origin movies). Let me elaborate on this awesome opinion.

Unlike Pepper Potts (nice fucking name, Stan), Carol Danvers actually had skills to begin with. She was a hotshot Top Gun pilot in the vein of Hal Jordan in the comics or Tom Cruise in real life. I would watch a movie about one of those even without the superpowers (I'm pretty sure the kid from Iron Eagle wasn't actually made out of iron). While I would've appreciated a topless lesbian volleyball scene, I know they had to save SOMETHING for the sequel. Also, her tits are practically the size of volleyballs, so she's got that going for her. And, unlike you, I don't think she was presented as flawless. In fact, she seemed like kind of a cunt! I can identify with that. If they can make a Captain Marvel 3 that's as much better than the original as Thor 3 was, it could potentially be the greatest cape movie ever.


I saw like... half of these movies, and am a bit embarrassed to admit that. Captain Marvel was like the least memorable one. The only scene I really remember was her blowing up stuff in space.

I don't think they intended to make her a cunt, although that would have been a good idea. Even if they did, Iron Man already has the "vaguely douchey alpha superhero" role covered. We don't need Iron Man with tits. Plus Iron Man has a vulnerability (his heart thingy) and is in general a guy in a suit, not Literally Superman. Which is more interesting.

Ant Man - did not take itself seriously and was funny, in a "dad joke" sort of way. If you were gonna watch one of these --and I am NOT saying that you should -- you might consider this one. Or one of the ones with Iron Man, where Robert Downey Jr. chews the scenery and generally carries the movie.

I was disappointed with the Dr. Strange adaptations. It felt like he was "iron man, but with a portal gun and a cape" and that was lame. I realize this was extremely naive on my part, but for a brief second I thought the movie(s) might recapture some of the 60s psychedelic weirdness of the comix. nope.

I didn't see any of the Guardians of the Galaxy ones. I heard the GoG ones were above average though. Really if I view these things at all is controlled by what the kids put on
