Would "The Marvels" be a better movie if Captain Marvel was made as the babysitter who has to make sure they all make it back in one piece ?

What if they made Captain Marvel much more protective of Ms. Marvel like she was her own child. Adding a dynamic where Monica Rambeau was jealous of it as she does not understand why she cannot do it to her especially after her mom died.

Or is it beyond saving. I believe Brie Larson can be a really good mother figure.

I like “The Marvels” more than “Captain Marvel” and I wish they would not have cut it down like they reportedly did.

This is my one of two flaws with it. The other is the villain. I just didn’t like Dar-Benn, it didn’t make sense, and frankly she just felt like a weak actress for the part. The Marvels should not have been as short as it was considering it was the starting point of the whole multiverse storyline (outside of Loki obviously).

There also needed to be a Captain Marvel 2 (aka Secret Invasion) before it.

Maybe so but Loki’s wife sure was the eye candy didn’t know I needed.

Those two flaws are the same flaw: editing.

My wish is that more people went to see that movie because Kamala Khan is so fun to watch.

hot take but the marvels was one of the better movies of the multiverse saga (i'd only put tb, F4, BW, MoM, NWH, Eternals and SC over it )

kyuubikid2132026-01-05 13:12

Isn't that every movie except Quantumania, Deadpool, and Thor?

ShotStorm81712026-01-06 00:43

I think there are more than tha also that's why I said mid bcoz clearly there's worse

Degan7472026-01-06 01:15

For me, only F4, MoM, NWH, SC, T*, and Gv3

That's not her job. It was fine as is and is a lot of fun. Their dynamic worked.

i enjoyed The Marvels, fun fights and one of the better ones of that whole multiverse mess

Conceptually The Marvels was an interesting premise, it was, essentially, 'never meet your heroes' the movie. That concept was then undermined by suits who wanted to make it the 'girly' superhero film. Regardless, making Danvers a mother figure would have made it a completely different film that would entail a complete rewrite. Not that such a concept couldn't work, just that it wouldn't be a simple tweak.

Say something nice bro wtf

All it needs to be a better movie is 10-15 more minutes of breathing room. Editing is the only major flaw in that film.

The dynamic she has with them is actually pretty great as is and kind of already has some of the elements you're describing. Kamala idolizes Carol the way that Monica did when she was young. So in idolizing her Kamala is a reminder to Carol how much she let Monica down.

I think the sort of "not living up to what you perceive other people's expectations are and the guilt that follows" story is more interesting than her just being a mother hen

RoyalCod32026-01-06 00:34

It's not in her character being a literal mother figure. She cares and protects, but not in a motherly way.

Man, I loved the Marvels. I thought it was adorable.
