Episode 83 - The Marvels (2023)

In the movie, everybody we are reviewing is the movie that's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Marvels that had certain things that it's certain sequel to, like Ms. Marvel and the TV series and the Captain Marvel, and basically it's about those two separate superheroes... miss marvel um who was a tit who is still a teenager and uh got this power gauntlet she got in this miss marvel tv series uh teams up with captain marvel uh one of the big legend superheroes of the um of that whole world the marvel cinematic universe and they team up with uh another figure of Captain Marvel's past to battle an Evil Kree character.

That's basically enough of a summary.

And, Michael, do you think that's all there is to even summarize about the movie, or do you think there's more going on even worth getting into, which maybe you didn't really seem to think so from what you saw before that?

This movie actually had an okay reception, but honestly, I didn't know what the score was until after watching it.

It's the first time I ever watched it.

Yeah.

I was expecting to see like, I don't know, like a 40-something on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ah.

Yeah, kind of, probably a bit of an embarrassing entry for Nita Costa and maybe the MCU, but

Whoa, I like this one, Michael.

I'm not in agreement here.

This may be one of our big disagreements, I got to say.

I mean, like, to me, it felt like an example of, like, you know, Marvel fluff, you know? Like, you know, this is one of the more generic entries, and, you know, this is, you know, an excuse to continue the Captain Marvel saga and then add a few more faces to it, and that becomes its own movie.

But otherwise...

And, you know, at the center of it, there's a solid story.

There's a decent story.

I just, I was cringing the whole movie.

I was like, okay, this feels like a really cutie movie.
