The last 2 movies I saw in theater were Wrath of Man and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Guess I am not going back any time soon. Everything is effeminate or androgynous now. I hate living in the end of the empire.
I loved Eric July’s rant when this movie came out because he was pissed over the gender swap of the original Captain Marvel. I remember at the time being surprised they made the swap, but now I expect them.
Holy fucking shit they're doing the psychic rape baby story!
Mar'Vell was the original Captain Marvel in Marvel comics, [although "Shazam" is still who I think of when using the moniker], until he died of cancer.
No, really.
Anyway, Carol Danvers is a half human, half Kree hybrid with various powers, blah, blah, blah, etc.
In one of the early Avengers comics there is an event that is sort of like what this movie is hinting at.
When she visited Scarlet Witch in New Jersey, Carol fell unexpectedly ill. She was rushed to a local hospital, where it was discovered, she was three months pregnant. She left the team following the bizarre unwanted pregnancy, which progressed rapidly over the subsequent days, right before she was about to give birth, she revealed her secret identity to the Avengers.
The pregnancy was caused by "Marcus", who claimed to be the son of Immortus. Marcus manipulated Carol into believing that she loved him and took her to his home in Limbo; however, Marcus' plot backfired when he discovered that he aged at an accelerated rate in Limbo. Carol learned how to use Immortus' time-traveling technology and returned to her time. Upon her return, she angrily confronted the Avengers, expressing her resentment towards them for falling for Marcus' lies and manipulation of her, allowing him to effectively kidnap her for future defilement at his hands
tl;dr an alien impregnated her so she would then give birth to him so that he could come to Earth and take her to his own dimension.
Shooter was criticized for radical reworkings of several iconic Marvel heroes, including temporarily replacing Captain America, Iron Man and Thor with new men behind the masks and changing Spider-Man's familiar red-and-blue costume to a black-and-white suit.
Also,
Shooter angered and alienated a number of creators by insisting on strong editorial control and strict adherence to deadlines.
Shooter himself scripted the 12-part limited series Secret Wars which set records at the time for comic book sales. Secret Wars was criticized by some as an over-hyped series that served no purpose other than to bring together all the company's major characters for no good reason, and also simply to promote a new line of Marvel action figures, but was praised by others as having well earned its place atop the charts.
It also treated the existing X-Men characters like dirt, broke up Colossus and Shadowcat, put Xavier back in a wheelchair to keep his more traditional appearance in place despite having recently regained the use of his legs, and generally mismanaged the mutants so that the Avengers could fight Doom and others while occasionally have other fights with the X-Men "for reasons".
Oh good more fanfiction for your wine-aunt

I’ll watch some 80s b movie now and think it’s amazing simply because men act like men and women are feminine
Honestly, Latin American film can still be pretty badass, on occasion, if you can handle the subtitles…
Though the phenom you speak of is not limited to Hollywood, I will admit…
I speak Spanish so I’ve watched some Spanish language programming. I do use subtitles in Spanish because some accents are harder than others

Well, Captain Marvel was originally a male Kree (in the comics), before they changed that, no..?
So the alien thing is not that far off, even if the sing-song thing is, yeah..?
Though I do feel like this is a losing prospect, and just shows how much the bitch hates male humans, if nothing else, lol…

"Ain't no baby like a magic alien rape baby!"

Ah, fuck. Secret War 1 was horrible at times for those reasons you outlined and it's almost unanimously blamed on Shooter. Rightly so, too.
Wasn't going to see it regardless
