Over the weekend, I went home and happened to catch a movie. I watched Captain Marvel without knowing what I was walking into, so you could imagine my confusion as I tried to figure out what it was about.

It took me all but thirty seconds to figure out it was a superhero movie, and then I just put two and two together after that. What was different about this superhero movie, compared to superhero movies of its type preceding it, was the quality of the screen writing. It seemed like the characters had jokes, but they weren’t funny.

Honestly, I think the Marvel movies have made it to the peak and any they make from this point on will be a carbon copy of their previous ones. It’s a sad reality that Marvel will now be amongst the many repetitive, bad movies that Hallmark and Lifetime produces.

I think “Captain Marvel” is the start of the repetitious trend that will soon consume the Marvel movie industry. In the movie, the “all-too-common-sarcastic” protagonist who reveals that “the power had been in them the whole time” is played by Brie Larson. The “making of a superhero” montage was rushed in a way, but when you watch the movie, you’ll see why it was rushed. I also feel like they could’ve added a second montage and removed all the unnecessary banter throughout the movie.

I also feel like Samuel L. Jackson’s character was poorly developed, and it’s a really hard thing to make a really good actor look bad. At the same time, somehow, the many writers for this movie managed to do it.

On a more positive note, this movie did highlight issues women face in the world and facilitated an influential image of a strong woman saving the day. Unfortunately, I think I could have done a better job in making the movie, but that’s just me.

Upholding the Marvel Universe is the only thing I feel like this movie has successfully done without the cringe factor. If you can get past the unrealistic stream of conversation and the played out superhero morphing into an invincible butterfly, then I guess you should watch it. If you want to see a quality movie that’s not lame, then you definitely should not watch this. I am very upset to say this was Stan Lee’s last cameo, but it’s okay because I’m willing to get past the terribleness of the movie.
