This is my first post on this site ever so I apologize in advance if I'm doing something wrong. Anyway, lets cut to the chase!
I had a few issues with Captain Marvel. Not the issues most people have (I actually really like Brie Larson in the role). My issue is with the editing.
I saw a great video by Nando V Movies on YouTube recently that discussed the curious editing of Artemis Fowl, mainly it's very apparent use of ADR to change the narrative.
I know this is probably very common in movies, but I was surprised how noticeable it was in Captain Marvel (not nearly as noticeable as TFATWS, but that's a whole other topic).
I was also VERY surprised at how great some of the deleted scenes are. Scenes that actually developed the characters were cut for scenes filled with expository dialog about the Kree/Skrull war; scenes with obvious cutaways and ADR that do Larson's performance no justice. Seriously, half her reaction shots were likely meant for original dialog we never got to hear. It's not Brie Larson's fault the character wasn't well liked! (Okay maybe the press tour stuff about put people off, but give her a break.) Personally, I believe she did a great job with what she was given.
So, in my first fan edit in over 4 years, I decided to fix what I found to be the biggest issues with Captain Marvel by giving Carol Danvers a legitimate character arc (regaining your memory is not an arc) and giving the audience a more clear antagonist in the Supreme Intelligence.
I'd love to hear what you think about Captain Marvel. After I make a few more forum posts I should be able to officially submit my edits (I've got several on deck already, mostly Marvel and DC stuff, but there's a Star Wars prequel thrown into the mix. I know... SO original!)
(Also, again, if this post is in the wrong place, please exercise patience with me. I'm a big fan of this community and would like to become a more active member!)
