First president since James Madison to take command of troops as CinC. Battle of Bladensburg was a disaster. Next stop. Washington and Beirish troops with boatloads of torches.
Would have been better to claim the server caught fire and slagged down. Insurance loss FTW.
The Leader and his Humanoids trying to grab the adamantium would have been a better straightforward plot, but then they'd be harkening back to Steve Ditko again. Fiege is so terribly incompetent at this movie stuff.
The fact that Fiege and the writers (using that description in the loosest possible terms) have no clue about the source material contributes to that level of incompetence, though they'd likely need hand-holding regardless. I am enjoying the burn-down of the MCU with great relish.
1. Harrison Ford is badly miscast here. There are many other actors who could play this role better and cost less. Is anyone going to see a Captain America Movie for Red Hulk Indiana Solo?
2. Every time you write Cappy DH I read it at crappy and it makes me smile =)
The sad thing is the boys over at EFAP are probably right: viewed in the context of all of Disney Marvel's output, this is really middle of the road fare. They've certainly shat out far far worse.
This film appears to be shaping up to be the MCU's equivalent of Rise of Skywalker, in that the production crew nervously walked back the more in-your-face wokery of the previous entry (Last Jedi there, Falcon and Winter Soldier here), but not enough to fool dissidents or woo back disaffected normies, and instead only succeeded in antagonizing SJW viewers. Some of the talking points I've seen flying around among the Reddit hivemind are "this movie would have been much better if it hadn't been reshot to avoid offending Republicans" and "This is a terrible time to make a movie about forgiving the President."
My son and I used to look forward to the releases, but he tapped out after End Game. Partly because Captain Marvel seemed like a harbinger of the crap that Disney took on Star Wars and also in part due to super hero fatigue.
It’s too bad, it was a father and son thing we did, we’d walk downtown to the local theater for an afternoon of good entertainment. It makes me wonder what he will do with his kids when he has his family.
Hollywood isn't where they go to make money, its where they go to spend it.
Movie economics have rarely if ever made any sense. Thats because the ones who make the movies made their money selling us widgets and hollywood is where they go to spend money to preach their worldview.

They can't stop write themselves into corners, like the fact that the mind control presented in the movie should make the entire plot irrelevant.

My two main thoughts are.

"Disney is claiming Cappy BNW had a budget of $180 million and it probably did at one time but, allegedly, the final tab came in at $300 million"
But what about the budget?
You've already had it.
We've had one, yes. But what about second budget?

They'll watch Arkhaven movies. It's only a matter of time.
Just in case it wasn't a typo: fapped out doesn't mean what you appear to think it means. I'd want someone to tell me.
Typo - thanks for pointing that out. "Tapped out"

Yeah, there's just no way I trust Disney or Marvel to do anything with these characters that I want to watch. Thanks for the confirmation.
