When Thanos snapped his fingers, how far reaching was the effect? That's a relevant question here.

My basic understanding is that it removed half of the population of the universe at that exact moment in time, and did not regress backwards in time at all.

Yes, and if that's true, CM must take place largely BEFORE that moment. From the first moment I saw Fury send that distress call, I assumed CM was somewhere untouched by what Thanos did. Then again, Fury had no grasp of the 50% obliteration.

I thought that Infinity War made it pretty clear that the entire Universe was affected, but then there's the Quantum Realm.

Where Ant Man was at that moment, so he is still there, unaffected, presumably. Maybe he gets back in CM.

Yes. Also, Captain Marvel is (mostly) set in the 1990's, so long before Thanos and his mad plan came to fruition.

Hence the main reason why I might risk skipping CM in the theater.

And yet Marvel has made it clear that CM is very much tied to the events in Endgame. They know how to market, don't they?

Yes. But just the sheer audacity and brilliance of the accomplishment of the MCU--something we may never see again--almost makes me want to go see CM out of sheer respect for this corpus of daring do as a whole.

 

[dpippel]

I like that philosophy.

I suspect that one of the end credit tags will fast forward to present day and see Carol receiving that page.

 

[dpippel]

I'm feel pretty sure that you're right, Jake.

I was hoping someone here might clue me in on the critical bit of info without spoiling the rest of the movie.

I can oblige that request easily tomorrow after my 10 am screening. Actually that’s how every review of the film should be.

 

[dpippel]

No spoilers!!!

 

[JimmyO]

We are gonna need lots of spoiler tags really soon I think!

Once showtimes start tonight, I'm out of this thread entirely until after I see it this weekend.

 

[dpippel]

I won't be able to see it until NEXT weekend due to travel. I'll miss you guys.

I could have seen it last night but passed because it was cold outside so I wanted to stay home & remain warm. I'll probably see it Wednesday or Thursday though.

We are going to have to wait until the week after next! Next week every person attending public and catholic schools in the Provence of Ontario is on March break. All the theatres will be full of rug rats.

I'm back from my less than a third full screening. I saw this at my local art house theater and unfortunately their screen with the most seats (where Disney demands it plays in) has the smallest screen size for scope pictures in the complex.

This wasn't a bad movie, but if I had to rank all the MCU films this one would be in the bottom half for me.

Be sure to pay attention to the opening Marvel Studios logo as it is completely different than it is in the other Marvel films.

The Cat is awesome.

I disagree with the critics raving about the de-aging technology being excellent as it largely looks like it does when excessive DNR is applied and the people look like wax.

Spoiler

It wouldn't surprise me if the mid credit scene was lifted directly from End Game.

Wayne, are you saying pay attention because there's an important detail, or hey it's been revamped so check it out?
