    its probably an early suit and it actually fits in with comic lore. there’s been tweets discussing the evolving suit for CM. Also I doubt they would release set pics of THE suit this early

    • Jordan says:

      The blue is giving me throwback vibes to Mr Marvel. Even though his was still predominantly red. Could be homage and then we see her suit develop into her Captain Marvel one.

    • Mia4s says:

      “Also I doubt they would release set pics of THE suit this early”

      Is the suit really some iconic thing to hide? To the general public it’s nothing.

      I get your point but to let this be the first look at your solo female lead superhero is a rare PR misstep for Marvel. She looks mediocre. Yes I know this likely isn’t the final look but that doesn’t change the fact that our first look at their attempt to finally do right by a female superhero is “meh”. That’s surprising.

    • Tess says:

      The green’s probably Kree armor of some kind — the original comic book Mar Vell and the Kree army had green uniforms. My guess is this is an early uniform, and she’ll end the movie in her red, blue and gold.

      • Nicole says:

        Yea Tess I agree. Esp considering where the MCU is at as a collective and the era is set it seems to be the Kree armor.
        And yea even though we know how the suit will be (we saw the marvel concept art) it’s still a reveal. Esp for casual viewers that are not comic nerds.

    Sorry Marvel but DC will always have the best female superhero action film of all time. I love Brie Larson but nobody can deny that Marvel’s female characters for the most part suck.

    • Jordan says:

      Because they’ve all been background characters. And poorly developed at that. I wish Marvel got their Xmen rights back sooner. I’d kill to see my lady Xmen who are also Avengers dominate the screen!

    • teacakes says:

      Wonder Woman wasn’t anywhere near the level of good that no one else can approach/outdo. They’ll always have the first one, yes, but I doubt it’ll remain the (commonly regarded) best.

      And that’s without even getting into the acting abilities of Gal Gadot vs Brie Larson.

    • Marley says:

      WB tried with WW for over 20 years, so the fact that their 4th or 5th incarnation finally stuck is actually testament to their past failures to bring her to big screen. Marvel’s attempt for Carol is their first, and I’m pretty sure they’ll stick the landing.

  3. Hh says:

    I can’t get excited until after Black Panther and Infinity War. My Marvel excitement meter is full at the moment. Lol

    • Eve says:

      Same here. I’m obsessed with everything Black Panther.

      As for Captain Marvel early pictures, the hair looks fine to me. And Brie Larson is a good actress so…I’m not worried about that at all.

      I worry about this controversy around The Shape of Water though. Love Del Toro and highly doubt he would plagiarize anything or borrow some ideas without giving the credit. I know The Shape of Water’s whole plot and indeed there are similarities but it still didn’t strike me as plagiarism.

      • msd says:

        Yeah, few things are entirely original and GDT is a fan of many classic tropes and stories but that’s not plagiarism. If it was, most things would be considered plagiarism. Awards season often gets nasty with warring PR stories, dirty tricks etc… Harvey Weinstein created that playbook.

      • Ange says:

        The Shape of Water just sounds like a classed up Splash anyway so meh.

      • Sunglasses Aready says:

        @HH
        I’m with you.

  4. Lucy says:

    What’s wrong with her hair?
    It looks cute to me .
    Also does anyone care about super hero movies anymore ? There’s too many of em.

    • KBeth says:

      I also think her hair is cute.

    • Keaton says:

      They’re fine IMO. I have nothing against super hero movies but boy am I tired of them dominating the film industry. But I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

  5. Christine says:

    The movie is set in the 90’s I believe so the hair makes sense.

    • Marley says:

      This. Does no one here remember how ubiquitous the Rachel cut was in the 90s?? It makes sense.

  6. mannori says:

    I’m not mad at the color (early suit before she take her powers?) but at the ill fitting. I bet Brie worked her *ss out training for this role and the suit does not her any favors. Also the hair: terrible. For the controversy bodyshaming her: I actually think she must be thrilled these dude bros crying their *sses out on social media, coming to terms that the “male gaze” stuff might actually be coming to an end, thanks to actresses like Brie. I bet her acting will be on point, and that’s all I care. I do regret that they felt the need to cast such a young and not age appropriate at all Captain Marvel. For once that a great role was written as middle aged badass woman…

    • Eve says:

      @ Mannori:

      “For the controversy bodyshaming her: I actually think she must be thrilled these dude bros crying their *sses out on social media,(…)”

      She’s being bodyshamed already? Lol!

      • mannori says:

        seen a bunch of tweets about her butt…which surprised me is that were from so called “woke” guys

  7. cleveland girl says:

    Kate Hudson actually looks cute here…way better than that pink dress she wore the other night…I think she thinks she is young enough and hot enough to wear whatever she wants.

  8. Surely Wolfbeak says:

    Everybody calm down! Everything is going to be alright. Origin story. Let’s not forget the first suit they put Steve Rogers in, or Tony Stark’s first suit. We’ll make it through this and come out on the other side.

  9. annabanana says:

    Nothing about Brandi Glanville doubt the #metoo and #timesup regarding Gerald butler?

  10. Cara says:

    Nope, I’m not buying her as a super hero. She is a good actress and all, but no!

    • teacakes says:

      That’s what I thought about Scarjo (without even the ‘good actress’ part) but then The Avengers happened.

  11. MEV says:

    This film is set in the 90s. I’d be more confused if she didn’t have 90s hair…
