1. Why is her first name that of a french cheese?
2. Can't wait for the Squirell Girl or Riri Williams as Iron man trailer. /s
3. Given the comic storyline in the 1990's Carol Danvers was Ms. Marvel and Mar-Vell was Captain Marvel!
4. Shazam is the true Captain Marvel!
5. Bleh, doesn't even come near what I would say about that movie but also I don't want to get forum banned.
Brie is a region in France, that the cheese is named for.
It's similar to other place-named people, like Madison, Cody or Paris.
( cough, d'Orleans, cough)

Brie was region of France, it doesn't exist anymore, it's remembered in the name of the cheese tho.
Madison, Cody, (had to google them) are legit names with a history long before Madison County or Cody, Wyoming.
Otoh, Paris, well, you can always name your kids after a ancient greek demi-god or a celtic tribe (Parisii), actually the town was named after the celtic tribe, the romans knew it as Lutetia.
But Brie that's the same level of idiotic as when I would name my son Warsteiner or Weisswurst. [haha]
Btw, d'Orleans, which means of Orléans was part of a royal name/title.
Correctly it would have been written as Jacques Duc d'Orléans (Jacques Duke of Orléans), but that was too long to be used as a name in the game, also the game wouldn't let me use the accent aigu.
Yes - it is... Captain Marvel is who Fury pages at the end of Infinity War - calling for help. Obviously we now know that Fury was involved in Marvel's origin story, so knows her personally.
I'm really looking forward to this, it could be Marvel's 'Wonder Woman' - a great movie with a strong female lead. But then, I can't get enough of superhero stuff - I even loved Green Lantern (yep, it was me). I've seen all of the Marvel Netflix series - Iron Fist, Daredevil, Nick Cage, Jessica Jones, and the Defenders. And I've found out yesterday that Disney are going to do a few miniseries with big Marvel characters, like Loki!! WITH Hiddleston... I'm a happy man at the moment.
I like that she seems to playing it down actually. Cpt Marvel is so OP power-wise, if she was all bouncy funny or supermodel shiny I think that could be horrible Mary Sue territory so slightly cursed with power, works for me. Doesn't hurt that I could look at Brie Larson all day long and like her as an actress as she's usually pretty understated but I like the power up shot at the end and the music, I like that alarm sound with it. The MCU looks still to be getting it pretty well right imo and you're in trouble now Thanos.
The character is a Mary Sue regardless, no actress can change that fact, I wasn't interested in the movie in the first place and only would have considered watching it if they gave me something aesthetically pleasing to look at. But hey, whatever rocks their boat, I'll save my money and time.
I'll stick to the Thanos victory ending to the MCU, which is a pretty decent finale for me.
I'll be happy just seeing Agent Coulson again. As a rookie!
Check him out 30 seconds into this clip, from the discontinued Marvel Heroes game. Can you recognize his vehicle?

Another comic book movie...yay. Why even bother. Just watch the previous one...whatever that was. Or the one before. One of the dozens at this point. They are all THE SAME. Zero creativity. This is money milking in epic proportions. Let's just fill every scene with pointless flashy CGI, lemmings will pay anyway. The kind of writing and performances would be absolutely laughable outside of this cozy little universe of movies made for kids, who quite frankly wouldn't see a damn difference between Citizen Kane and Tomas the tank engine. As soon as it has a superhero in a title and isn't a complete trash - it's best thing ever apparently.
I loved the Dark Knight because it tried. Tried something different. And IMO it's still at the top of the mountain. Lonely at the top, as they say. Surrounded by these obnoxious shouting short attention span movies who all yell "look at me, look at me. I want to be serious too!".

I have a theory that EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. However, it is the biggest spoiler in years, so I shall hide it below.
Seriously, you don't want to look at this spoiler.
Green suit Captain Marvel is actually a Skrull herself! "I'm not what you think I am." This is explains her almost 'evil' look throughout much of the trailer, her jumbled memories (likely being uploaded from the real Carol Danvers during that 'hanging upside down in the mind-zapping machine' scene), and it nicely explains "The last time I trusted someone, I lost an eye."
The REAL Captain Marvel is the red suit one, who will come and save the day later in the movie. The writers are borrowing from The Sixth Sense. Plot twist of the century!

I warned you!!!

I remember the days when, if someone didn't like something, they just got on with their lives instead of turning it into some sort of personal political agenda...
Or, more succinctly, 'pre-internet'... I'm so tired of having to defend liking something that other people think I shouldn't like - so now I just don't bother. I like what I like - and if they don't like it, tough... like.?
It's ok.
As long as you don't like brussels sprouts. You DON'T like brussels sprouts, right?
I love Brussels sprouts. And arugula. And watercress, and spinach. But on the bright side, I can eat yours if you want?
My wife loves the dullest most life sucking salads.
Cabbage and shredded carrots. With (shudder) raisins. I trade her mine for a chunk of OMG anything else on her plate. She's happy to acquiesce to the worst deal since Lehman Brothers bought the logging rights to the Sahara forest, which is of course how I tricked her into saying yes in the first place.
I HATE brussels sprouts, and I don't think anyone should be allowed to eat them either...

Sure, you can have my brussels sprouts and watercress. I have no idea what arugula is and don't care to google it. From the rest of your post, it looks like it might be more food that food eats.
It's almost lunchtime here. I better go find something that was recently self aware, but has been introduced to fire and oil.
