This will be terrible because ... the director is terrible.


It's a tricky character and the tone doesn't fit the DCU and there are a lot of other factors but it all comes down to ... David F. Sandberg is not a good director.

He made two not-very-good-but-profitable horror films. That does not mean he can make a good superhero film. If it means anything, it means he can probably deliver a film on time and on budget.

It will be terrible because Captain Marvel (yes, I called him that) will be played by a guy who looks like a buff Jimmy Fallon

You're really stuck on this Jimmy Fallon thing, ain't ya.

Well I won't lie to you. I watched the trailer and I just was not happy. He was just acting like a goofy guy and that was the first person I thought of. I just don't like seeing Captain Marvel treated like a joke. What's he going to do? Play party games with Black Adam?

and that will be different from any other film out there because?

So a director cannot work outside the genre they cut their teeth on?
