Movie got a lot of unwarranted hate, it was fine. It wasn't FANTASTIC or anything, but it was fine.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everything that stars a woman gets unwarranted hate. I heard the Fanboys going nuts and calling Echo "woke". I watched it all and I can't think of a single woke thing in it, aside from the main character being a native woman, which I guess is what's driving them crazy

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

My only real beef with Echo was I JUST watched What If Season 2 that had it's own magical natives and I was like "Again? Didn't we just do this?"

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It straddled that line between fine and good. IMO

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My only beef was I've seen physics done better in video games. Some of it was laughably bad. :(

[–] brian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something in particular you can point out? I feel a bunch of physics gripes are hand-waved away 'cause superheoes

Captain Marvel vs. the Space Ships here:

https://youtu.be/G6JeKBYPIs8#t=1m53s

There were others. Once clips become more widely available you'll see what I mean.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see anything particularly bad, let alone laughably bad. It just looks like normal CGI space ship battles.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's when she stops the ship dead in mid air and flings it away. Physics does not work like that. /Morbo :)

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How does the physics supposed to work In that scene? A flying super human with super human strength stopping a smallish ship mid air and flinging it?

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ya, captain marvel flies into and then out of a star at the end of the movie. Her stopping something dead in its tracks is peanuts compared to that.

Edit, I actually watched the clip this time, she gets knocked back a little bit catching the ship. There is nothing silly here at all.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Stopping suddenly like that would have destroyed the ship, it would have crumpled around her.

[–] yildo@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When Supes did that it took effort, the plane would still push him backwards. It wasn't an instant stop of momentum and flip.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think you should watch it again. It pushes her back too.

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Makes sense. Thanks

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same physics should apply to Louis Lane falling from a helicopter and superman catching her from below right?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You'd think, right?

I liked how Alan Moore dealt with it in Miracleman:

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Pacing was my biggest issue. Either make the film longer to give scene/characters time to breathe or cut even more subplots from the movie.

I do agree it was ultimately fine, but there was a better movie in there.
