"The movie is hugely entertaining. I look forward to seeing how the Marvel teams uses the captain in the forthcoming Avengers movie. Once she comes fully into her powers, she is far and away the most powerful character in the MCU. She could eat Iron Man for lunch and have Thor for dessert, with a side of Doctor Strange. Thanos is in trouble now."
Well, I guess Thanos is in trouble provided he doesn't exploit the afore-mentioned "Achilles Heel." But something tells me that this will be exactly what happens.
It all seems so "constructed," doesn't it? As if it were all carefully plotted...painstakingly so...and the fate of all these characters were left...god forbid...up to writers.

Oh geez...I think I just popped my own bubble of suspension of disbelief. Don't go there, kids, just don't. It's no fun to peek behind the curtain and see the Wizard of Oz for what he truly is.
It's not really a surprise. An invincible unstoppable character would be boring. And as I blogged about months ago sometimes the Achilles heel is psychological or emotional, like Banner's humanity that allows the Hulk to be calmed.

DeleteSo they just made a Marvel version of Superman...
ReplyDeletePretty much.
DeleteBut unstoppable characters are boring. Eventually. Ah well, we knew she had to have a vulnerability.
ReplyDeleteIf her Achilles heel isn't something like kryptonite but instead something more complicated or subtle, then that weakness might make her more interesting. But I do like how R.R. Martin revels in her strength!
