Slogging merrily through a massive MCU backlog, I finally hit Captain Marvel and it's a real drag. A cautiously built and extremely muddled sort of a project that feels weighted down, messy and confused. The structure feels off - and Danvers Terminator-esque excursion to 90's Earth tells me starting it there would have been smarter. It never settles into what Danvers character actually is and the spotlight gets swiftly stolen by a convincingly de-aged Samuel L and even Clark Gregg. Even the baddy. Even a cat. It's irritating as Larsen has chops for days and deserved far better than this strangely 2D whisp of flimsy top-gunny air-force foolishness.
