    Too bad they are wrong. Scarlet Witch should be 1 then Hulk at 2 then Jean Gray at 3. Then slide everyone else down by 2 positions...

    It's physical strength, not power.

    Tom Hardy maybe? but yeah it'd be tough doing a X-Men reboot without Wolverine

    Maybe I'm biased because I'm not a huge Captain Marvel fan, and I am a huge Rogue fan, and we've never gotten a great movie version of Rogue in the FoX-men movies. But now that Disney owns the X-Men, and Captain Marvel has been polarizing at best despite making a billion dollars, maybe this is the chance to nerf Captain Marvel to a more likable version while creating the Rogue of the comics we know and love. Carol Danvers wouldn't even need to be retired, she could be in a coma in between movies (Captain Marvel 2 and Avengers 6?) and come back as Warbird. What do you think?
    I mean she is fairly OP so the only way to defeat her is to find someone even stronger or who has powers which renders hers moot - mental manipulation or something

    Even if this list was about power in general and not physical strength, neither of those would rank that high. Scarlet is only known for one reality warping feat in house of m, and Jean is only a high tier psychic, it's the Phoenix Force that is powerful, not her.

    The actual #1 would be Franklin Richards, if we're only talking about superheroes.

    What is up with modern culture? "I can't wait for people to be mad" I thought we grew past this shit in 7th grade, unironically grow up.

    Because people have already set themselves out to be angry about it?

    I mean, when you see the sort of conspiracy nonsense people were pitching, and indeed believing, to try and denigrate Captain Marvel's box office success... their bound to find something to be angry about.

    And frankly, it's funny that people get themselves so worked up about a damn comic book movie where a woman flies around with glowy fists.

    Only dudes are allowed to have glowing fists, ok?

    Although with Raimi in the running for the doctor strange director chair and Strange being canon in the Raimi verse spiderman if he gets the part they should have a small cameo in that universe.

    As for captain marvel 2. If their brining in a mutant there can only be one they use before any others. Rogue due to how Rogue was able to fly.

    If Rogue was to get her own movie, I'd rather she be able to stand up on her own, rather than having to put down other characters in the process. I find the idea of "character X is awesome because he/she can do what Y can't" to not make for interesting characters. They are built on the achievements of past characters, rather than their own.

    As for Captain Marvel, I'd rather she just be forgotten, retconned out, and the story proceed like she never happened. But alas.

    Why do people dislike captain marvel she got her ass handed to her by Thanos. The fear of her being OP wasn’t an issue in the comics and won’t be in the movies.

    Could say the same thing to someone reacting like you did to what was obviously a lighthearted post...

    And using "Unironically" before a statement to boot? What is it with modern culture...

    Sincerely, grow up yourself.

    It is not about the movie, it is about hatred of the actress amongst a vocal minority online.

    Something about her vowing to make sure press conferences she attends are more inclusive (which to these zero sum guys mean fewer seats for them) and suggesting that in regards to a specific movie she made it would be more interesting to hear feedback from a woman of color than a 40-year old white guy.

    In the end, they didn't get much for their hate campaign. But they are nothing if not petty.

    The sad thing is people actually believed this was a thing that happened.

    People go in with preconceived notions (that because of Brie Larson’s comments, the movie must be bad,) believe that their preconceived notions are important, (that the movie can’t succeed because people at large agree with them/care about that assessment) and that, if something happens that DISPROVES that preconceived notion (like captain marvel being a box office success)... that, instead of them simply having been wrong, there must be some giant conspiracy behind it. So they’ll look to any crack-pot theory that validates their own myopic chain of reasoning.

    A similar thing happened with the last Jedi, and the notion that “the overwhelming majority of film critics only pretended to like it because they didn’t want to offend SJWs.”

    I swear, the worlds some of these people live in must be very terrifying.

    He didn't even get the conspiracy theory right. If DISNEY had bought the tickets to inflate their numbers, the theater seats would still be empty...

    Of course, The MCU managed to make a Captain Marvel movie without Mar-Vell, and I'm still a little bitter about that...
    Wait, wasn't Annette Benning Mar-vell? Or is there another Mar-Vell that's not that one, or not the right representation of it? Comics are confusing.

    Yes, but you don't understand that it was SUPER important that she get her powers directly from a man rather than changing it to her absorbing the blast of the tesseract and getting powers from the infinity stone instead.

    Captain Marvel as a franchise exists solely to prop up 500 alt-right channels who make 30 videos about every movie entry.

    That not what she said though, what she said was that she didn´t need the opinion of a white man and if you say something like that yeah people will get pissed, who would have guessed...

    Typically as a society we don't like discriminatory statements, which Brie Larson did make regarding her press conferences. It's quite straight forward when you think about it
    Pretty much yeah considering the autistic backlash to it is so absurd and beyond the pale that it's clear its just dumbass alt-right turds trolling for clicks on youtube.

    Normal and well adjusted people just...don't watch movies they don't like and go on to live their lives.
