At least not in the comics.

He is in the MCU. ... or at least claims to be.

That was fine. Could easily be trimmed without losing anything important. The third act saved it from being bad.

I agree on the Bollywood scene; that was a travesty.

That was fucking awful. By far the worst Marvel movie.

Starfox was cool tho.

I was so bored thru out this movie.

I thought the Bollywood guy and his assistant were the best thing in the movie. They gave a few laughs at least.

Jolie was terrible.


Worst MCU movie by a fair margin imho

Have you not seen Capt. Marvel?

Some insight from the Thanos/Starfox mention and alternate endings.

So Disney has an entire streaming platform to tell long in depth stories... and decides to introduce 10 characters we dont know in one movie that felt simultaneously rushed and entirely too long. This could have been a pretty decent 12 episode series so that we could actually learn and care about these characters.

It wasn’t. Not the worst Marvel movie, yet not very good.
