This should be sufficient evidence that Disney absolutely bought out theaters for the first captain marvel. There’s no way that movie legitimately made a billion dollars.
This is the same as the last Jedi, two mediocre movies were enough to make the cash roll in before because they didn’t completely alienate half or more of the audience. The Witcher on Netflix was the same after they tossed Cavill who was the carrying force of the entire series. You can’t keep hype when you intentionally shit all over the fan base to appease people who never cared about the IP to begin with.
You underestimate the normie appetite for cape slop. Also they squeezed it in right before End Game which was one of the most anticipated movies of all time.
Captain Marvel came out before they started really heavily with 'THe mEsSAge', and was really the first to do so, while making painful efforts to try and shoehorn that mess in at the last minute.
It was also a schizoprenic mess, and when you realize it went through something like 5 or 6 directors/writers or some such, it makes perfect sense.
I can also never figure Brier Lawson out. I don't know whether she just keeps getting bad directors, is completely autistic, or some mix of the two.
Any MCU movie would have made a billion if it was the movie before Endgame.
