    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Stan Lee passed away while the film was being edited. As a result, Marvel Studios put together the special opening logo to honor him.
    • Goofs
      The plot centers around a light-speed engine that would be of immense value to one of the alien races given how fast it will allow them to travel through space. Their method of travel, however, is already drastically faster than light speed. Utilizing this engine would actually slow them down considerably.

      This could have been made clearer in the movie, but the FTL travel used by the Kree is a network of "jump points", essentially stable wormholes. This is the same method used in both Guardians films. The jump points exist in fixed locations and lead to other fixed locations, and their distribution is irregular. The lightspeed engine described in the film would presumably permit travel at lightspeed (or faster) directly rather than by means of jump points. This would enable trips to places that might not be readily reachable by jumps, and therefore would make a ship with such an engine much harder to track and follow for someone without such an engine.
    • Quotes

      Maria Rambeau: You call me 'young lady' again, I'll shove my foot up somewhere it's not supposed to be.

      [awkward silence]

      Talos: Am I supposed to guess where that is?

      Nick Fury, Carol Danvers: Your ass!

    • Crazy credits
      As this is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film released after Stan Lee's death, the Marvel Studios logo features images and clips of Lee's cameos and comes with a message: "THANK YOU STAN".
    • Alternate versions
      Upon presented in IMAX format, the film has an aspect ratio of 1.90:1 instead of the 2.39:1 in home media, causing the theatrical version to contain more picture detail on top and bottom than the Blu-ray/DVD releases.

    Marvel Bar Too High, Captain Marvel Didn't Clear
    Marvel is a victim of its own success. They've been so good for so long that perfection is expected with every release. Their brand name now rivals the likes of Apple, Nike, or Coke. Slapping "Marvel" on a movie means $100M or more. That's not to say that they don't have to try, it's just to say that they don't have to try as hard. So, I don't say that they didn't try with Captain Marvel, I just don't think they gave their best effort.

    With 19 years of Marvel movies it's hard to bring along a superhero that's going to wow people. Of course there are the Marvel faithfuls that would be pleased with anything that has Marvel's name on it but for those others--what's left? After a Spider-Man, the X-Men, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Blade, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, and a host of supporting characters even a Captain Marvel seems tame. And let's be honest, how many of us saw this movie because it's attached to The Avengers: End Game?

    If I broke down my reasons for seeing Captain Marvel I'd say 50% because it's a Marvel movie, 40% because it's attached to The Avengers, and 10% because it's a superhero movie.

    At this point it's not simply about powers anymore. Sure, the superpowers are cool but they can only take a movie so far. The story needs to be good and the lead character needs to be even better. I found Brie Larson dull. Besides fitting the look needed she offered nothing. She failed to distinguish herself in a world of distinguished superheros.

    Marvel can easily absorb this loss and truthfully I'm probably in the minority by calling this a loss. IMO Captain Marvel didn't thrive on its own--much like Hulk didn't thrive on its own--not a problem, lets see how she does working with a team.
