Larson continues to lack physical presence, but instead of lacking emotion, she seems... smug. She talks about ending a horrific, extremely long war in tones that would otherwise be reserved for online gaming shit-talk. The line "I'll end it" should be delivered firmly, with conviction. Instead of a warrior facing a daunting challenge that she is determined to defeat, she sounds like a bully looking at a target with contempt. I pick that line, because it's so emblatic of the problem, but that is just one of the two modes that she seems to have. Smug asshole, or shell-shocked survivor.

Marvel's done pretty well overall in the MCU, so I'll trust their track record at least until I see the full movie for myself. It could be shit, it could be good. We just don't know yet.

Monica hasn't been seen yet. I'm not sure she'll be in the film, her MOTHER, Maria, is the woman you see Carl interacting with.

(Which apparently, is a single mom. Uh, no. Anyone whose ever been Air Force would know that unless there was a way that her daughter would have a 100% chance of being taken care of by family, in case of Pilot accident/death, Maria Rambeau would NOT be anywhere near a cockpit. The Air Force is not in the business of orphaning children. But hey! Movies!)

The MCU version seem to be a combination of all the worst aspects of comic book Carol. Not only does it look like she's going to be 'Captain Marry-Sue' she's the embodiment of 'Female characters can only be effective if they're extreme feminists'

I can honestly say I hope I'm wrong about this movie and it ends up being great.

It's hilarious, because Black Widow is one of the most celebrated characters of the MCU, and she's an elite normal, and largely ignores gender politics. She's just all competence and charisma and dealing with real, practical problems. Captain Marvel looks to be her opposite in every way. And Larson is determined to tell the world before release that it IS an activist film, despite Disney desperately trying to shut her up.

I want the movie to be good, but I doubt it.
