 I'm R.D. with the Weekly Bros. And I'm Matthew with the Weekly Bros. And you're listening to... To the Weekly Bros. That sounds horrible, let's totally use it. Oh yeah, it's going in. No, we had some big MCU news last week. What's with some big revelations? Yeah man, huge revelations. Let's see here, there was the release of Captain Marvel. The sweet end game footage that they had at the end of Captain Marvel. Yes, that was amazing. And then, by the gods in Valhalla. Odin looking down at us. Saying, hey, we're so brothers. Why don't you go ahead and give the kids a little something. A little something extra. A little unexpected fucking pre-Easter treat. You know what, we gave these guys a huge banana split. Last Friday when we released Captain Marvel. We'll just throw some cherries on top of that. Captain Marvel's a banana split now. Now I see where you're going to rank Captain Marvel and the MCU now. She's a banana split. Is this movie or is this movie not now in your top five MCU flicks? Little foreshadowing. Little foreshadowing. Do you want the answer? No, I don't want the answer right now. I want you to see that in business because I tease. So by the end of this podcast, you will know our top five. No explanation, just top five. And then when you're like, what the fuck is wrong with you? And I'll be like, you're moron, you know? Yep, yep. I really want to put that at number five though. I don't know, you don't have to. I know. You know, it's funny looking at my, so I ranked all my movies. All the MCU movies, I ranked them today. And there's like two of them in between 10 and 15. I'm like, God damn, those are good movies. I like those. They get down there, but you're like, man fuck, you got to put them someplace. Which is better ones I like, I suppose. Can I have a tie? No, no, you can't, you can't have ties, you can't have ties. There's no crying in baseball either by the way, so. Figure it out. Figure it out. Anyways, no, so at the end of the show, we're each going to tell our top five MCU flicks. But for the time being, we're going to talk about Captain Marvel. God damn right we are. You know why? Because it was marvelous. But before we get started, please take the time to hit that subscribe button and the bell to stay notified of all of our videos right here on Miscellaneous Debris. I couldn't have said it better myself. But I'm going to try. It was marvelous. Wow, very nice. Very well played. I will say. So full disclosure, we are doing this review a little bit later on in the week. And it's mostly because I wanted to see it a second time. Because we went and saw it in Detroit last week. Thursday night. And we both left the theater. And you had the MCU giddiness getting out of the flick. And I didn't like it as much. And it had nothing to do with the fact that Captain Marvel is a female. It had nothing to do with all that bullshit. The reason I didn't like it as much the first time I saw it, and I will preface that, the first time I saw it, was because I had a lot of expectations going into this film that had repercussions for future films. And those expectations, not only were they not met, but they were thrown into a blender, hit frat pay, thrown out onto I-75. Nobody uses the frat pay button. Oh, you use the frat pay button, boy. It'll change your life, I swear. No one uses that button at all. Just hit blend. It's a blender. You blend stuff. Get it done with. I think you're kind of looking at the wrong details here, guys. So my expectations weren't met. We're going to talk about these more in detail. But I had plans in my head for the scrolls later on down the line. You're talking about future MCU films. Yeah, future MCU films. I had plans for what I thought was going to be the Cree, Skrull war going forward. I had plans for Seekin' Invasion. And just a lot of these things, I expected Colson to be in the movie a lot more than he was. I expected Ronin to be in the movie a lot more than they were. Just because I had those preconceived notions and those preconceived notions weren't met. I felt it was wrong of me to judge the film based on that criteria and how I was feeling at that moment. I went and saw it again today. Oh, you did. And I had to tell you that it's way better than I thought it was. It's way better. I had to give it two thumbs up. I'll give it eight and a half bros. Eight and a half out of ten bros. Yeah. And, you know, if people didn't like it, I highly suggest, you know, budding the bullet and going to see it again because I honestly think that you will enjoy it much more the second time around. Or third or fourth or fifth time, you know? Yes. There will be a third time for me. Yeah, soon. Mine will probably be tomorrow. Yeah, I would like to go this weekend but we'll see what happens. But anyways, yes, I was the same way. I left that film in, I think immediately I liked it, but I don't want to say I was disappointed. I think I was just kind of... Disappointment's a strong word. I wouldn't say I was disappointed in it either. I was definitely not disappointed. I think what the problem was, it kind of let, you know, when I left, it's so hard to explain. When I left on the high of seeing the post credits, it seemed like I was all just like, oh my God, it's amazing. But I really liked the film. I didn't know where it stood. I wasn't sure how it would rank in my films. How it would stand up against some of my favorites. And that's how I judge these films. Each one, I don't expect it to be better than the one I... The previous film, I just expected to be as good as the one that I just want to like it. I don't want it to suck. After seeing it again, I really, really liked the film. I mean, it was a lot better the second time around. And I think part of it too, because I wasn't sitting next to some assholes that were bitching about, you know, Breedlers and feminism crap and how they couldn't believe they were actually there and there was not enough males in the film. And I was like, get the hell out of here, like shut up. You know, I obviously don't want to see this fucking film. Like get away from me and shut up. You know, I would address all of that stuff on this podcast, I feel that it's so petty and so beneath us that it's not even worth mentioning. I got seven things I want to talk about. Let's do it. And I will just stay up front. I don't want to mention anything about, you know, Breedlers and political views. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care. I'm talking about the film. So, you know, is it my top five? I don't know. We'll find out later. It's a good question. It's a good question. So anyways, you know, overall, I really enjoy the fact that as a viewer, you are discovering Carol's backstory along with her. Like she doesn't know anything about herself. Like she's discovering it at the same time you are. So as a viewer and a fan, I like that, you know, because you're part of the film. You feel like you've got more attachment to the character that way. So I really like that part. You know, in her origin story of how she got these powers, to me, that was really cool. I really like the fact that they incorporated a infinity stone into her powers. Ah, you know, and if you go back in the past, in some of our past podcasts, I do believe we have talked about this. I believe it was me talking about Project Pegasus and the Test Direct. You nailed it, buddy. You nailed it. You know, I didn't know how it was involved, but I did know, I didn't hear that, you know, my sources claimed that it would be involved in the film somehow. It's just a lucky guess. But yes, that's what I thought was going to happen. So I wasn't really sure, but I knew somehow, some way an infinity stone was involved and it would probably be the Test Direct. It just kind of made logical sense. So to piggyback on your, on the origin story, the flashback scenes, it reminded me a lot of lost. I mean, it might just be because I was, you know, I'm in the midst of watching the series, but I mean, they did the exact same thing. You know, you're on this journey with the characters, but you don't know the backstory of how they got to be how they are. The only difference is that she doesn't know either. But the way that they, whether they presented it with the flashback scenes, it made the story more cohesive. And I think they did the same thing in Lost. No, I agree. They did a great job of just giving a little tidbit here and there, you know, and the way it tied in, you know, especially the scenes that, you know, when she actually shoots a Test Direct and it's exploding onto her. Or the engine, the Test Direct wasn't in there, it was just the engine. Yes, it was the core. So when she shot that, you know, the explosion that takes her, like they just clip it together and they edit it in a certain way that throughout the film you just get bits and pieces and then you don't see the whole complete picture until the end. So I thought that was pretty cool. What did you think of Brie Larson though? You know, as Captain Marvel as a comic fan. I didn't have any preconceived notions going in. I've enjoyed Brie Larson of the few times that I've seen her on film. She was great in 21 Jump Street and that's really what I base my comparison on. Well, she's easy on the eyes. For sure. She is. She's quite beautiful. But again, the first time seeing it, I thought she was kind of stiff in her acting. Seeing it a second time, I realized that it's not her acting. It's the character and how the character is reacting to the situations. And it's not, you know, stiffness in the dialogue. It's dry wit. And I wasn't expecting it the first time around. So I was a little bit critical of it. But seeing it the second time, I enjoy the hell out of it because hell, I'm trying sarcastic 99.9% of the time. So, you know, I got it. I empathize with it. And I thought she was great. I think she's going to be a great addition to the MCU and I think that she will get into your role of the Iron Man, the RDJ level of acting when it comes to being a superhero. Yeah, I thought she was great too. I mean, all those haters that I've been bitching about for weeks like, you know, trolling her online and trolling the film and trolling her past, you know, films like... Completely unnecessary. It is. I mean, it's just, they're just haters. They're just assholes, right? I tried to block that on my mind. I've seen a couple of her films. I saw Room, which I liked. And I saw 21 Jump Street. She was in Scott Pilgrim, which I saw a little bit of. I didn't have this idea of her being stiff and monotone and, you know, she couldn't, you know, get the emotions out of her face, but I thought she was great. The first time I... It was a bit slow the first time I saw it, so it did take me the second time, but I could actually, you know, enjoy it a little bit better by myself. So, I mean, I thought she was great now. I loved her. What did you think of the music in the film? That's funny. I just wrote down mentioned soundtrack. Yeah. I fucking love it. I love it. I love it. And it has to be because I'm a child of the fucking 80s and 90s. So, I mean, that's like the stuff we grew up on, right? Oh, yeah. I dug it, you know? I mean, come on. When you hear Elastica, you're like, okay, this is such a good one-hit wonder. And there's like, you know, when you're watching the film, you're thinking of all these other 90s one-hit wonders coming out. And don't get me wrong. I love me some 90s one-hit wonders. And it's a complete guilty... I won't even say it's a guilty pleasure of mine because I don't give a shit who the fuck knows it. It's great. Like, you know, I'm expecting to hear, you know, Eve Six. And then I'm expecting to hear, you know, the Smashing Pumpkins. And then I'm, you know, I'm going to hear Take On Me, you know, and then Guns N' Roses, you know. It's great. And then, you know, they're singing Kiss Me Deadly as karaoke. And we get back to your house. And what the hell's on the radio? Oh, Lita Ford. Kiss Me Deadly. Right. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah. So it's... I loved it, man. Yeah. Between the whole... Top marks, man. A pluses, five stars, ten bros. It was definitely, definitely ten bros. Yeah. You know, if there was a thing like going on buying a soundtrack for a film. Dude, we just talked about this, like, movie soundtracks. Like, are you trying to get me to guess, like, what movie? Yes. I was trying to get you to guess what movie based off the song. Right. Right. Right. So, yeah. If there was a thing going, like, going to Harmony House or fucking something like that and buying a soundtrack. Oh, my God. Harmony House. I would totally, I would totally buy this soundtrack. Totally. Oh, man. Wasn't there a big, huge Harmony House in downtown Ann Arbor? I don't remember. Right by Pinball Peets. Oh, Pinball Peets. Shout out to Pinball Peets. Yes. Near the Diagon University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I think it's still there. It's a beautiful campus. What was the place in the mall by us? The music. The place where you walked in the door on the right hand side. Oh, music land? Music land. Yeah. There was music land and there was there's blockbuster music. There was Tower Records. In El Town, we had desirable discs and Rock of Ages. Rock of Ages is still open. It most certainly is. So, anyways, yeah. So, the soundtrack was amazing and I fucking loved it. What did you think of? Oh, my God. Several things here. What about Jude Law? But some Jude Law. I thought I've always enjoyed Jude Law as an actor. And, you know, even as recently as that King Arthur movie that Guy Ritchie did that nobody went out and saw for some reason, I thought it was a good movie. I thought it was a guy. Oh, did you actually see that? Dude, it was like snatch, but for King Arthur, it was great. It was everything you would want to see in a Guy Ritchie film. It's fantastic. But also, you know, he played Thor and Crimes of Grindelwald. I like his acting. I think he's good at it. I like the fact that he, you know, he's playing Jan Ragh. He ends up being the villain, which I think everyone pretty much thought might happen. But, you know, I was kind of, you know, leaning heavily on the Skrull part. But I thought he was great. I thought that he played the manipulative antagonist really, really well. No, yeah. I mean, I thought he was great. I mean, I think seeing the others and what you kind of hear the buzz about, like, I think, like, I agree, like everyone thought he was going to be the villain. And, you know, it was always going to start off as a good guy, flip to the bad side, you know. And that's how all the people on Star Force eventually becoming villains in the MCU, you know, something like that. But, you know, as far as his character was in the film, I thought it was great. I really liked it, so, you know, I got nothing bad to say about him. You might be kind of an unfair question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. What did you think of the lack of screen time for the more notable MCU characters, like Ronin, Korath and Colson? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's another one. Not enough for Ronin. Colson, I could really care. I don't really care about. I mean, basically, he was just a flunky, you know, in Shield, so who cares? You know, it was cool to see him. Yeah. Yeah. You know, but it was basically a Capcom movie with Sam Jackson and Brie Larson, so. Yeah. But I wanted to see more Ronin, you know, and I guess this was more Ronin, you know, before he became a fanatic and all, but he was just trying to... So, I'm okay with it, but as the movie progressed and obviously towards the end, they're totally teasing like Captain Marvel 2 and it's going to have to involve somehow with Ronin coming back or trying to find... That's a total... Captain Marvel 2. So, is Captain Marvel 2 going to be how Ronin becomes Ronin the accuser and, you know. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe he hates the Xandarion so much. It's a good question. It's a good question. Yeah. But, you know, I don't like to see more Ronin, but, you know, the other guys and whatever, it's something I'm fine with. What did you think of Sam Jackson as a young Nick Fury? You know, kind of green, kind of doesn't know what the hell is going on, kind of cool. I liked it. You know, I liked this character. I don't know what else to say. It's fucking Sam Jackson. So, it's like everything he does to me is awesome. So, I don't really care. Yeah. He's thinksin' a plane's cool. Yeah. Dug it. You know? He really can do no wrong, right? He really can't. Yeah. But, no, I, you know, I think Nick Fury's one of the better characters in the MCU, even though he's got a small part to play. Yeah. But, I think his character may be a small part, but he looms large over everyone, I think. Yeah. So, no, I liked it. You know? And I loved the fact that you found out how he lost his eye. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, here's some of the story twists that I think really set the movie apart. Yeah. Spoiler alert. If you don't want to hear any spoilers, why are you listening to this? Because you probably already heard a couple so far. Yeah. Right. So, the Marvel reveal was very well done with Annette Benning. See, I knew she wasn't playing the Supreme Intelligence. I knew it. She was. She was just the form that the Supreme Intelligence took to talk to Carol Danvers. But, she was also the Supreme Intelligence. No. She was just the form that the Supreme Intelligence took. I understand that, but it's, now we're just talking semantics here. Yeah, it's semantics at this point. Anyway. I think you're wrong. So, the Talos reveal that he's not exactly the villain. He's not a good guy. He's not a bad guy. You know, he's just a guy. He was pretty sweet at the end. Kind of humanized him a bit. I love Talos. I really thought his character brought, especially his, I mean, the scrolls were kind of, you know, fun. When they were being scrolls. And then after, they just became, after he went full frontal, it just became a scroll for the rest of the film. I wasn't trying to impersonate. The humor he was bringing to the role was kind of cool. And the humor they brought to the scrolls in general, I thought was really cool. What did you think of the scrolls, just in general? I thought they were well represented, well done. Practical effects looked good. I think they hit a home run with it. I love the practical effects. I wish they would have done more in Infinity War at that, but yeah, I mean, it's nothing, it can't be a good prosthetic face piece. You know, and Ben Mendelsohn did play Talos and I just really thought that for all the scrolls, I think it was really cool. I mean, I don't know, I like them. You know, they were just trying to you know, they were just trying to find a new home. They just wanted to stop being hunted. And, you know, can't blame them. I did enjoy the pulp fiction nod when Talos comes in drinking the milkshake and gives the camera the look just like how Sam Jackson did in pulp fiction when he was taking it. It's exactly what it is. Tasty beverage. Do you mind if I have some of that to wash this down? Um, so going back to the reveals. The Yann-Rogg reveal that he's actually the villain. That was well done. How fury lost his eye, like you said. You know, I'm one of the people that thinks it's fucking funny that the last person he trusted made him lose his eye. I think that that's flurkin. Fantastic. I know some people are gonna shit all over that but you know, I think it's great. I thought it was kind of funny. Yeah, exactly. Do you want to see him losing it like in some weird battle? I mean, I guess it's kind of you know, cooler, but him losing it you know, when he's not serious Nick Fury, he loses it when he's like kind of playful and funny Nick Fury. It's kind of better, right? I'm gonna go for him to say mother flurkin. It may have been, but I'll take what I can get. And so finally, the big reveal. We gotta get this in the mood. What's that? The Tesseract. The whole entire movie is regarding the damn Tesseract. So you think it's really about you know, Talos trying to find his family but we all think that he's trying to go for the Tesseract. More infinity stones. Every film. I enjoy them. You know, I'm trying to think of how many don't involve an infinity stone. Iron Man ones? The Iron Man's don't. Black Panther doesn't. Ant-Man, the Ant-Man movies. Let's go back to my list of movies, sir. You're missing something. Winter Soldier didn't. Civil War didn't. That's like half of them. Alright, well, there goes my theory. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 didn't. Ragnorok didn't. Yeah, but Loki steals it. Back? Well, yeah, but the whole entire movie wasn't. Alright, whatever. So anyway, any other things that you want to point out? I've got one more thing I want to point out. Well, I mean, the obvious one for me is the post-credits scenes. I like them both. First of all, the funny one at the very, very end with the cat puking up. I knew that was going to happen. That was great. Yeah, I mean, you knew once you ate the damn things, you had to fucking puke it up somehow. Yeah, right. That cat was inside Nick Fury's office. I knew that would be a post-credits scene. I was absolutely positively sold 100%. I'm like, this is going to happen in the credits. That cat's going to puke that fucking thing up and I'm going to laugh about it. But I mean, the other huge post-credits, the other one with the reveal of Captain Marvel, you know, just goes back to me thinking so when in-game starts, so just a little, you know, to describe it, all the adventures after the snap are back at Avengers headquarters with the pager and it stops beeping and they're like, well, we need to reboot it or reset it, blah, blah, blah. And right as they turn around, Captain Marvel's there and she just says, where's Fury? And boom, back to the credits. So to me, that when in-game starts, Captain Marvel's already there. There's not going to be a big entrance anymore. Well, I think that that just happens to be a scene in the movie kind of like how the end of Ant-Man had that scene from Civil War where Bucky was captured and Falcon and Cap are talking to him. Yeah. So it could be just a scene, you know, 10 minutes into the movie but I mean, I might not be opening the movie. I don't want to see that as a post-credits scene because I think bringing her into the MCU into the Avengers movies specifically should have a big reveal and if you do it in that post-credits scene you can't do it in the film because it won't have the same effect. Well, if it's the scene in the movie then it will have the same effect because then you'll see how it comes to be. No, because you already know. It doesn't have the same it doesn't have the same effect. I do not subscribe to that but I respect your opinion and I will allow you to say it. I mean, I don't know, it's just what I feel so it's all good. I mean, I'm sure they'll have a reveal somehow and obviously they are but damn. I would have liked to have seen it better because in the clip Scarlet your hands turns around and she's the first one to see Captain Marvel and Martin you can see Marvel's face and she says where's Fury I would have liked to have seen the angle from Captain Marvel where they turn around and Scarlet your hands and say like who are you, something like that where they leave it ambiguous they don't give it away I don't know, I got you I mean that way you get the fanboys and us fucking people talking about oh my god it's going to be Captain Marvel who else could it be, it has to be her I don't know I don't know the other two things I wanted to mention was one was I thought it was a nice nod to the whole entire encapsulating of the MCU by changing it from the protector initiative to the Avenger initiative at the end of the film once Nick Fury saw the picture of Carol Avenger Danvers when Captain America the first movie says the first Avenger isn't really the first Avenger well yeah because that took place in World War 2 and it takes place in 1995 okay alright, now okay what else you got and the last thing was knowing how powerful she is at the end of the film I'm glad that they made note of the fact that she had a power dampener on her neck throughout the entire film because if she had all those powers there would have been no film there would have been no story to go along with because she would have been so powerful she would have just taken care of everybody on this point and you wouldn't have any conflict and I honestly in the film I didn't even get that part until Supreme Intelligence was like what was given can be taken away and she's like you didn't give me these powers and I was like oh my god they didn't she fucking just makes so much sense now I didn't think about that to the very end so that was it man I'll give it 8 and a half bros two thumbs up I'm going to give it a 9 solid grade just a little foreshadowing in the future I'll give it a 9 if you'd like to reach out to us on these social medias you can reach us on the twitters at rockinthedee you can hit me up at Ms. Lay's you can reach us both at you can go to our Facebook page which is Ms. Lay's Debris Channel or you can email us at realbiglebro's at gmail.com
