A few reasons,
1) The Captain Marvel movie takes most influence from the more recent and unpopular interpretation of the character which to many kick started the current era of Marvel comics often dubbed "SJW Marvel" where sales have taken nose dives left and right and resulted in quite a lot of titles to be cancelled - some, like Captain Marvel's title, were re-launched more than once and new success still was not really found. The 2016 election only make most of Marvel's comic output worse and lost more readership, currently the company has sought out to other publishers like IDW for financial support and it has been rumored for a bit that Disney may shut down Marvel's comics division. It does not help much that many of the creators of current Marvel titles like Kelly Sue Deconnick, Heather Antos, Richard Pace, Tim Doyle, Gail Simone, Mark Waid, Nick Spencer, and Ta-Nehisi Coates have been very antagonistic towards long time readers of Marvel who have expressed criticism of how they're portraying the characters and bringing in unnecessary political topics into the stories.
Spencer is a Trump fan I thought.
He sure didn't know Cap.
Japanese manga often runs in magazines-weekly, monthly, etc., a chapter or 2 at a time & is then collected into tankobon.
So after the original ended there were further adventures.
So the point of the manga is to be interesting enough to keep running like One Piece that has veen running in Weekly Shonen Jump since July 1997.
Except Solo was good.
It was fanboys pissed at TLJ who tanked it.
Marvel comics had done social justice forever.
There was no reason to go with Johnson. He seemed to destroy for destruction sake.
It is typical Japanese class warfare with the ruling elite living in the floating city in the clouds while the rest fight for a shot of making it up there.
How did you miss that?
She is superior to everyone else because she is alien tech, last piece of the invading Martian force that crashed all the other floating cities.
2003.
So women in the military in the 90s were totally equal & respected.
I live in San Diego, dude.
Moved to Mira Mesa in 1990, just in time for Tailhook to become all the rage.
No.
All Larson said was she wanted more women & people of color to have a shot at writing a Marvel interview.
So somehow saying the people at the back of the room, who maybe don't have the history of doing stories on the topic, have a shot at writing a Marvel movie article is somehow stomping all over your male egos?
Poor babies.
Yeah, they also didnt really push its manga/Japanese origin as much.
I was in 4th grade when I read the story so I imagine it was made for something way younger than a 40 yr old guy of any color.
Sort of like the review our local paper wrote totally trashing Nightmare Before Christmas where the critic trashed it as being crap, attacking it as an adult male bitching about the amount of music in the thing. You know, because the target audience-CHILDREN-hate music.
Everyone I know who didn't see Alita was because of the eye job they did to Rosa Salazar.
Yeah, right
Eyeballs, remember?
Like I said, I could not convince anyone the movie was worth watching.
