Memento does what Captain Marvel NEVER Could...

I hate when this happens. When they try to make a female character an interesting character just because they’re female.

Even the release of captain marvel felt forced, it was between infinity war and 2 month before end game just so she could save iron man and the day at the last battle. It felt unearned because we knew all the characters for years except for her like how convenient for writers. If she was introduced before infinity war and they took the time to properly write her movie it would have been fine.

Memento is in my top 10, and the best film by Nolan, IMO.

I don't know... X-Men 1 & 2 take place 15 years after Logan lost his memory, but it still works to bring the audience into his perspective. So I don't think the four years in Captain Marvel is necessarily a big problem. Maybe the difference is that Logan was a loner, while Carol built a whole life offscreen during the time gap.

This movie caters to people like my mom. If she doesn't understand what's going on, even if she gets her answers by watching all the way through the movie, she wants to know so she's not confused for any period of time while watching it. By showing that she lost her memory before the plot really starts would keep people like my mom from asking, "Wait, what's happening? What are those flashbacks? Honey, what's going on?"

This is best explanation I've seen for why Captain Marvel really didn't work. I have felt for a long time that amnesia is a trope best avoided. I used to think it was just bad, I'm looking at you soap operas lol, but I think more it's just extremely difficult to pull off in a way that is compelling and not frustrating for the audience. In all honesty I'm not a fan of Nolan's work, but I feel like I should give Memento a try. It would be cool to see amnesia as a compelling point of a story. Hayley ^_^

Feige and co. didn't think she would become the new face of Marvel. They desperately wished she would be. Their efforts to make that a reality is exactly why it didn't happen.

I can't believe I never noticed that her blood went from red to green. How did her skin pigment not change? Bahh, I'm thinking too much again.

Whenever people ask me for movie recommendations I always suggest Memento first. I don't give away any details about the story but I explain the structure of the film because that's more important. The first scene is the end of the story and the second scene is the beginning of the story. The film zigzags back and forth between the monochromatic first half and the colored second half with the monochromatic scenes going forward and the colored scenes going backward until the end of the film, which is the middle of the story, where the last monochromatic scene becomes the first colored scene. That explanation alone is enough to get people intrigued, confused and excited about Memento. I love watching YouTube reactions to Memento because they are how I imagine my friends and coworkers seeing it!

50 First Dates is romcom Memento

Without a doubt, Carol Danvers is the most boring character in the MCU because there's nothing compelling about her, and yet she's propped up to be this great beacon. And I don't want to be like that, it makes me sound like a sexist, but all the other female characters (supers or otherwise) are way more compelling for all the reasons you listed Carol isn't. It really makes me wonder what MCU Kamala Khan sees in her because I'm pretty sure she's only ever on Earth to answer Fury's call to action, and then fight Thanos within Kamala's lifetime. She just goes back into space and then has hologram Zoom Meetings. What has she possibly done that Kamala even saw or could have seen through recordings that would make her a superfan? Carol's never on Earth! Nobody even likes the mention of Captain Marvel when she's brought up. Talos doesn't want to talk about her, Monica has it out for her because her mom got sick and Carol never showed up over the course of 20+ years, and everyone else doesn't know who she is or is indifferent because she's never around; the only one who seems excited to see her is Rocket Raccoon. And again, what a wasted moment because she's too powerful. I don't mind her being strong, but when all of Thanos' forces turn their attention to her, and it's just her, and she still blasts through them all with no problem, I can't care because she hasn't been around to have any lasting effect, and she didn't bring in all her space friends she should supposedly have, probably because nobody actually likes her company to begin with. I'm excited to see The Marvels, but it's all about Fury, Monica, Kamala, and Goose (and her litter of kittens!😻). They're going to be the lifeblood of that movie because Carol isn't going to be compelling unless they get her to play along with the shenanigans of the premise. To end things on a positive note, after just rewatching the Captain Marvel movie, she did have a few decent lines that got a chuckle out of me, she's at least got a couple of decent jokes, but wow, we gotta do something with this character or just move on to Monica and Kamala and have them take control of the Marvel mantel.

12:06: "At the very end of the movie, it's revealed that Le..." Nope, stopping it there!

Nor like I care for Captain Marvel, I'm only here for Memento, which you made me wanna watch again. Amazing that Florence Pugh worked both in the MCU and under the directing of Christopher Nolan.

I really connected with Carol's amnesia... I too forgot her 😂

"I have nothing to prove to you line" also didn't work because her cocky manner always felt like she wanted recognition, so it's like she DOES in fact wanted to prove something. This goes all the way to Endgame too. This differs from Tony's cockiness where he KNOWS he's awesome.
