alas , some fans have been trollingCaptain Marvelwith negativity ever since it was announced . And , disregarding of how successful the film or may not have plough out , some have even locomote so far as topost damaging review onRotten Tomatoeswell before cover for the flick had ever take place . So , no matter how well - have the moving picture is - whether by critic , fans ,   or casual viewers likewise - there are some multitude unwilling to live with the fact that a char can lead a superhero moving-picture show .

From the get - go , it was clear thatCaptain Marvelwould not be your average superhero movie . Aside from checking off the necessary box - be within the MCU , a logotype - emblazoned   tops suit , and , of form , world power - it did what other late films within the MCU have also done by trying its deal at breaking the mold . Instead of existing exclusively within the " superhero " genre , the MCU has stretched its creative limbs . For example , Spider - Man : Homecomingis an ' 80s - style moving picture inspired by John Hughes ' " Brat Pack,“Thor : Ragnarokis a sci - fi comedy , andCaptain America : Winter Soldieris   a political thriller . And , even though Marvel Studios ' approach toCaptain Marvelmay have been a gamble , it seem to have been deserving the effort .
