I struggle to think of a less likeable main character that wasn’t some sort of anti-hero. It takes talent to be that smug and condescending for an entire movie.
How did Captain Marvel struck you as smug in comparison to the truckload of arrogant and full-of-themselves characters in the Marvel universe? Thor, Drax, or Iron Man who is basically a narcissist.
They’re supposed to be like that though, especially Tony Stark, it’s part of their character arc. With Captain Marvel, it feels like she was supposed to be likeable, but it didn’t work out.
I cant speak for this in particular (I gave up watching marvel halfway through endgame), but its very different if a character comes across as smug and all the other characters are saying “God isnt he smug but we need him” and having a character that comes across as smug but all the other characters love them.
For what it’s worth, I think this one is more fun than the first one. Or most recent Marvel movies except for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. And I haven’t even seen Miss Marvel.
I think the first captain marvel was horrible. I think that plays a huge part.

I try to understand what exactly made her seem “smug” to you. Especially when compared to other Marvel heroes.

I thought the 1st Captain Marvel was pretty fun. I don’t have much of an interest in seeing this though.

You not liking the first movie means other people didn’t go? Who are you to have such an enormous effect on the cinema going audience…
Wow. That is a silly thing to be pedantic about.
I do not think that word means what you think k it means.
Ah, a Reddit comment :)
