probably be in the 100 millions Id wager. But when you have 22 movies to climb ontop of and ride their success its no wonder it made so much. Movie was alright otherwise.

I just don't see the point in her getting her own movie at this point. She had little to do with the Avengers, and more to do with the X-Men. It would have made sense if at the end of her movie she lost her powers to Rogue and then Rogue was the one to show up in Avengers(didn't see her movie btw).

But of course, this is the MCU we are talking about. Lets throw in a character into Endgame that had no point in being there. Every scene she was in could have been given to a better marvel character.

She was pretty unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

Yea she was so it was odd to see them shoe horn her in like that. But It was smart choice on Marvels part because they knew people were gonna gobble it up. It was an easy way for them to bring in more monies.

Why did Antman and the Wasp only gross $622 million then?

Antman is lame, that's why.

Captain Marvel was marketed as a feminist hero, which didn't hurt sales in men who aren't insecure and it certainly didn't hurt women's desire to watch it.

Eh, she'll get used more throughout the MCU, and who knows, maybe her experience in Endgame, as small as it was, will affect her in some way.

They should have just made a wasp film instead of antman.

Wasps are cooler and Evangeline Lilly is a bae.

That is a fair point. But Antman and the Wasp got no where near the marketing push behind it like CM did and CM had the feminist agenda tagged on to it (if that is the correct way of putting it) bringing in another crowd.

But also dont forget that when Antman 1 came out I think it grossed like 200 million... but number 2 grossed like you said 622 which again means it was riding the success of the marvel universe and the previous movies. This actually lends even more credence to the fact that without the other 22 movies Captain Marvel would be near Antman 1's value.

Obviously. If captain marvel just came out of left field it wouldn't have did as well. It sill would have done better than antman 1 tho. With just it's marketing alone.

Carol Danvers was a joke for 90% of her history in the comics. she did not even become Captain Marvel until 2012. I think that lots of people assume she's always been Captain Marvel and always been a huge character in the comics. but that is not true. she only very recently blew up. and it's all artificial. most comic readers cant' stand her and marvel's been fighting them over it for years. they keep trying to force her to be popular. maybe it will finally work, with the casual movie fans. but quit pretending like shes so important. or that people who don't like her only hate her cause of "femenism" that is not it. Marvel has a ton of cool female heroes that are more beloved than Carol Danvers

captain marvel was famous for one thing only. Giving Rogue her ability to fly. If they were going to add a marvel character to "represent" females, I would have suggested Emma Frost, though that could have had problems with the X-Men franchise.

Yeah, my wife is usually kinda mediocre on the comic book films, we saw Captain Marvel and I was pretty underwhelmed but she loved it. I doubt that was an isolated incident.

I don't know, doesn't almost any Marvel film from the second MCU phase onward ride on the coattails of the MCU's success? Don't see why Captain Marvel is the one getting targeted here.

it would be fine if she just came in like anyone else. but they tried to make her start off as "the most important hero" from the very beginning. the MCU is at the end of it's 3rd phase, and suddenly she just appears out of nowhere and we are told she is better than everyone. that's why people got mad
