I saw an interview where Don Cheadle pointedly talked about handing off the franchise and "All Brie has to do is not screw it up."

I've told my wife that I'm going to be considering this movie the end of the MCU. I'm just hoping they don't screw THIS one up before they do hand it off to the SJW who will screw it all up.

Thank you. We're seeing it today and I was quite afraid they would screw this up a la Star Wars.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Definitely not screwed up. There is one girl power moment, but then its back to what it should be.

I thought that girl power moment was not done very well.  I am not sure if I should say more as I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it.  I will just say that there is zero subtlety in social justice movement stuff.

Yep. That's because MESSAGE!!!! is what is important to them, not story. And so they are blatant in their messaging because that's what's important. (To them.)

Also, they aren't all that talented, so they don't realize that a subtle message is more powerful.

No, it was not.  It didn't make any kind of sense, least of all practically.

Seriously, given the entrance that the person that was holding the object at that time had made, what need was there for a girl power moment?

Probably just to appease the actress who did Marvel.  I skipped Marvel and went straight to endgame. Missed nothing thanks to internet spoilers and trailers of Marvel.
I'll watch Marvel on netflix in a few months.

Saw Captain Marvel and then immediately saw Endgame after the credits.

Yup. It was a quite noticeable moment. But luckily seemed to really be the only big thing like that.
Captain Marvel however had a lot. They even managed to throw in an anti-Trump part in there, in a movie taking place in the 90's. Overall it was enjoyable as an MCU superhero action movie. Although I was actually pretty confused in the overall plot and how it fit in with what was already established regarding them as seen in Guardians of the Galaxy. The entire thing that they were doing actually made no sense and they never once actually explained why they were doing what they were doing.
Purposely being vague in order to not spoil anything.

Frankly, you miss nothing by skipping Marvel. The only thing to tie the two together is Captain Marvel herself. But the events that take place in Marvel have no overall bearing on Engame; no references to be missed or plot points.

I think the Captain Marvel movie made the same mistake as Star Wars Solo.  They tried too hard to tie it into the other story lines instead of just making a good movie.  For all I care, they could have used completely different people and only tied it into the rest of the movies at the tail end.

And it wasn't like there was a shortage of powerful women in the movie.  They could have had the same action take place without "Announcing It".

I say replace her with a trans and then have he/she beat the crap out of Larson to the song "I am woman"

Got one.  Colonel Rhodes, a.k.a. War Machine, became a paraplegic in the Civil War movie.  And he's a person of color so two boxes checked.
