 Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode, another edition of A Week in Geekdom here on YouTube and just like I did with previous movies, this is sort of a series of topics on the Marvel, Captain Marvel movie I should say, from Disney slash Marvel. This part we're going to be talking about the entertainment weekly pictures that were released and then my thoughts on everything and then we'll do a second video with like a trailer impression I guess and a final one with a movie review when that movie hits theaters next year 2019. But yeah, entertainment weekly got the exclusive, they released the pictures and let's let's let's talk about them. Let's dissect a little bit about the Captain Marvel movie. Now this movie is a very important link for two reasons. One, you're tying up Marvel cinematic universe history by setting it up in the 90s. You're tying up the older stuff, you know, from the Soviet Cold War era and the World War II stuff with Captain America and now with the modern heroes after 2008 with Iron Man. You're missing a huge chunk of information in the 90s and Carol fills that perfectly with her story. I'd like that aspect very much. I am a sucker for continuity and all, you know, bridging the gap between movies and stories and all that stuff. I love it. And the second aspect of course is, well actually, let's say second out of three aspects. Now the second one is the fact that this is a heavy cosmic movie and it fills that cosmic puzzle. It fits that puzzle with the character, you know, after the success of Guardians. It has been proven that people really do like the cosmic side of things. I am a huge cosmic fanboy. I think Marvel cosmic is the best side of the brand, in my honest opinion, when it comes to the comic books and now with the movies as well. You can tell so many rich, awesome stories with cosmic characters, especially with the Guardians, with now that you've got Fantastic Four, with the alien races, and of course with Captain Marvel, etc, etc. And the third aspect that I just completely made up now, she fills in that gap for the Avengers follow-up after the events of Infinity War. She's obviously going to be a powerhouse when it comes to cinematic power levels, redundant, I know. But after Infinity War, I was a little bit disappointed that the geek fanboy in me was disappointed at the power levels. Look, I get it. I'm probably in the minority here, but I kind of did not appreciate the fact that freaking Thanos with a fully-powered Infinity Gauntlet couldn't stop a Stormbreaker, whatever. I knew it was going to happen. Everybody was going to be nerfed down and we'll have to see how Carol fares against the Mad Titan in the Avengers sequel, because she is going to appear in that and kick some major ass. So with that, all of that said, I am very interested in this movie because of that and the fact that we're getting sort of an adaptation, if you will, not only of her origin, but of the Kree vs. Skrull war. I love the Skrulls. They're one of my favorite alien races in comic books. I love the idea that, you know, you've got some really heavy hitters with the Super Skrulls and the Queens and the different levels in their government kingdom structure, if you will, Empire structure and they are shapeshifters and they can be really dubious and infiltrate like they did in the Secret Invasion storyline where they invaded the whole planet Earth and took up residence in different areas from governments to superheroes to secret agencies, all that stuff. So I love that espionage, secrecy level that the Skrulls are involved with. I love that stuff and it looks like the movie, you know, it won't be an origin story. It will be set in the 90s. Carol comes back from space to deal with the Skrulls, but somehow the Kree are involved as well. I'm not too sure. We did get to see Star Force and other aspects that are pretty friggin interesting, but whatever. Let's talk about the images and let's get the negative out of the way. The cover photo. I'm not a fan of it at all and to be perfectly honest with you, I love Rilaris in this Captain Marvel. Don't get me wrong, but I think that image could have been 10,000 times better. It was actually quite dull, boring and obviously touched on Photoshop or whatever, you know, photo manipulation and whatnot because it looked really corny. You know, you could have had her in sort of this hovering flight pose. I don't know. Her expression is very boring. I could have, you know, you could have done sort of like this confident grin. You know, just the composition of the image is a little off to me and I just found it bland, but most of the superhero entertainment weekly covers are like that, unfortunately. And what we do get are behind the scenes photographs. They're not actual spills of the movie per se because I think the movie's still in post-production or something like that. I'm not quite sure as of this video, but it's just behind the scenes photographs. One of the first photos which I really liked and we're seeing here is of Carol in her Captain Marvel costume and it looks pretty friggin fantastic. I wish she had her Mohawk, but I think she has to earn that Mohawk, but still she looks great and looks really awesome and just it really hits the geek spot to see a new character that you love from the comic books get transported into live action. That is always exciting to me. Second photo we get to see the Star Force, which is basically this elite Kree space force, if you will. And we see Korath, the pursuer, as well as Ronan. They're going to be in there because it's a flashback, the Kree Empire, et cetera, et cetera. And you sort of see the origin of Carol's costume except it's a green and black with gold details on it. We do see Jude Law and Brie Larson. Obviously Jude Law is supposed to be playing Marvel, the original Captain Marvel. So I'm very interested in seeing how their dynamic works in the movie and of course how she gets her powers and all that stuff. How they decide to present that on the big screen. Next up one of my favorite photographs and the one I geeked out the most. Obviously the scrolls. We see four scrolls on the beach. A lot of people were making fuss about the makeup. Like I said it's a behind the scenes photograph of production stills or whatever you want to call it. It's not like the actual finished product. I think they look great. If you compare it to the original scroll drawings, it looks like a modernized contemporary look. Obviously some people have pointed out that it looks very Star Trek-y. I can sort of see that but at the same time it retains the essentials of the scrolls. You know you've got that green skin with the wrinkled chin and you've got pointy ears. I think it looks great. Obviously the leader of this ragtag group is Talos. He was very infamous in the comic book so I'm very curious to see if he survives the movie. I want to see more scrolls in the future. I have made comments on this youtube channel that I think the face for a marvel thing is going to be scroll heavy. You know you're getting this movie with the scrolls and just the fact that they are here on earth since the 90s. Who's to say that they haven't been planning you know of course in the plot of the movie they're going to do an invasion but who's to say they didn't they don't stay you know after the bad guys are beaten or whatever. I mean now you're throwing a scroll into the equation now I have to ask myself who do I trust who who's to say that a hero is actually a scroll in disguise. You don't know that I think would be an amazing twist similar to Brian Michael Bendis' secret invasion storyline where you find out that electro-spoilers was actually a scroll in disguise. It could happen man it not necessarily been electro but you know what I mean it could happen some sort of variation some sort of version of that story and that is really exciting plus now you've got the fantastic war with the fox perches they can interact with the scrolls you can do so many cool things with the super scrolls I'm just floored with excitement it's a little bit of a spoiler but you do get to see Talos in his human form infiltrating shield plus some familiar faces you get to see Ronin the accuser which I love Ronin he's such a badass in the comic books I was a little disappointed that we basically got this crazy-ass Zilok version in the Guardians movie but really poor character development hopefully in this movie we get that backstory I love the idea that we get a revisit of old character nice little easter egg right there with a nine inch nails t-shirt and she looks the part I think this is one of the better photographs that was released I really did it I love the idea of the aging of character we saw that with Robert Downey Jr in Captain America Civil War if I'm not mistaken and it looked a little weird it was cool but a little bit weird here it looks much better I'm really excited to see Sam 90s Sam Jackson that's actually pretty cool that they're going they're gonna show us her origin at least in some shape of corn with her past as an Air Force pilot and of course we're seeing Maria Rambo which I think she's the mother of Monica later becomes a Captain Marvel herself so it's pretty cool it's a nice easter egg to spot in these photographs so yeah that's sort of my ramblings I guess on the Captain Marvel Entertainment Weekly reveal hopefully we do get to see a teaser soon I'm thinking by Christmas or something like that I don't know the movie's coming out in March April something somewhere in spring so I'm very interested in seeing how the movie ends up looking you know because like I mentioned these are just stills photographs not actual film frames and stuff so I'm really excited about that what do you guys think about the Captain Marvel stills all these photographs and information the whole idea the plot of it all let me know down below I'm very curious to know what you guys think thank you so much for liking commenting subscribing sharing this content thank you it really means the world to me you are the best find me on your favorite social media platform so we can keep the conversation going and I will catch all of you on our next episode what do you guys think about the cart cap
