When Mar-vell died she started calling herself Ms. Marvel but eventually she rebranded as straight up Captain Marvel. Which then lead to a younger hero taking on the mantle of Ms. Marvel. Comic books are so straight forward.

Get Woke, Go Broke.



I do hope that Bob Iger realizes these last few months have been the perfect time to do re-shoots for the movie and save this flick by making it the first X-Men crossover.

They can write out Brie Larson's character for bad behavior in real life by having Rogue absorb her powers and throw her off a bridge.


You already let the SJW idiots ruin Star Wars, Bob. There's still time to salvage the MCU.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The only one I've heard is that she's tired of everyone interviewing her on her press tour being white and male. She wants more diversity. She clarified to say that she doesn't want to remove the white men but to add more "seats" for others. Now I'd say that's pretty naive because we all know there are time limits on these interviews. So, no matter how many seats you add it means some people are going to have less time to ask their questions.

It's tough because I'm sure the interviewers are predominantly white and male, but does that mean they didn't put in the work to get there or aren't qualified? Of course not. Would it be great if we could live in a world with infinite time and opportunity? Sure. Except we don't. So, things will never be perfectly fair. No matter what for someone to get ahead that pretty much is going to mean someone else doesn't get to move forward.

Supposed to be some elite female Fighter Squadron Pilots in the mid 1990s. I didn't know this was supposed to be a comedy. Sure, they had enough sense to make it Air Farce, which didn't have quite so many female Pilot disasters, but c'mon - Elite Fighters?

Critics Consensus

Alita: Battle Angel's story struggles to keep up with its special effects, but fans of futuristic sci-fi action may still find themselves more than sufficiently entertained.

As of February 25, we will no longer show the ‘Want to See’ percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period. Why you might ask? We’ve found that the ‘Want to See’ percentage score is often times confused with the ‘Audience Score’ percentage number. (The ‘Audience Score’ percentage, for those who haven’t been following, is the percentage of all users who have rated the movie or TV show positively – that is, given it a star rating of 3.5 or higher – and is only shown once the movie or TV show is released.)

The Shazaam character has an interesting history. Apparently way back in the day he was created to compete with Superman and since his alter ego is a kid he was actually wildly more popular than Superman. Now you might be asking why DC created a character to compete with their own character. Well he wasn't actually created by DC. They bought the comic book company that made Shazaam and I think they shut his comic down for a long time. Later they brought him back and introduced him into the DC universe with the other heroes. To remove the confusion with the Captain Marvel in Marvel comics they titled the DC character's comic book Shazaam (which is the word the kid says to turn into the super hero) and his original name sorta fell out of use. Still he is technically the original Captain Marvel.

Thanks for the info.

Trying to GOOGLE bad behaviour or stupid with search engines which are all highly biased Libtard Propaganda seems pointless. 6ix likes to Feed the Trolls, so he is afraid of what they might say (I generally ignore the Trolls and their threads).

So your input is very helpful.

Maybe she thinks the most fervent fans of Comic Book lore are African Girls and that is who the studio PR should cater to.
I wonder if her stupidity is her only bad behavior.

Maybe if the Box Office stays under $50 Million she can go back to her low budget indie pics and stay away from successful endeavors.

It's now considered sexist to be a man and tell a woman to smile. I assume it's still okay for a man to tell another man to smile though.

It'll probably get kids interested. I wonder what they had to pay Brie to smile for that video. I've never actually seen her in anything (that I remembered her being in*) before, so my only exposure to her has been in the last few months. I honestly had no idea that was her on the thumbnail, and I don't think at first glance of the short commercial I would have even realized that it was her if it didn't stamp their names in the beginning.

* I've heard she was in Scott Pilgrim. I saw the movie once years ago, but I don't remember much about it.



Anybody think it's funny (ie: shady) how copyright law works?

George Harrison pays $1,599,987 to Ronnie Mack for "subconscious plagerism" because some idiot judge agreed that somehow "My Sweet Lord" sounded a little bit too much like "He's So Fine".

Every dime The Verve made off of any album with "Bittersweet Symphony" has been paid to The Rolling Stones manger from the 70's Allen Klein, and all songwriting credits were changed to Jagger/Richards/Ashcroft because they sampled a violin that was used in a symphonic recording of "The Last Time", which apparently Klein had all intellectual property rights to as well.

The only reason that Spidey shows up so late to the MCU party is because Sony has botched that license so bad recently, and I can't even imagine the hurdles that were necessary to get the promise of an X-Men crossover (let alone how much money had to be paid to put Colossus in Deadpool).

Now we might finally get that Captain Marvel/Kim Possible crossover that was wanted by no one ever.



It must be nice to be able to buy up all the copyrights that were ever made so you don't have to worry about somebody suing you.

To claim that the same audience watching KP will be flocking to a PG-13 movie to see a lead FEMALE character and view her as something so incredible fresh and new is ridiculous.

To quote Brie … " it's not MADE for them ! ".

I never saw the movie, but apparently, it was hot garbage. Not everything magical and sci-fictiony is ' fantastic '.

See ' The Golden Compass '

But Brie took personal offense to anyone dissing AWIT because apparently if white men didn't think much of the movie, THEY were the problem, not the movie. And THEY weren't the audience anyways.

Blatant ID nonsense , along w/ overt racism and bigotry on the part of Brie.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

What’s said to be Marvel’s most powerful superhero ever is served Melatonin by Larson. There is precious little texture or detail, ups and downs, or emotions of any kind in her performance. The character, even when kicking ass, is a total bore. The film’s best moments are provided by Jackson and a hilarious cat.
