Ep 39: Captain Marvel

We bring in the big, smart guns this time to review Captain Marvel on The Movie Defenders podcast! GM Chris of The Order 66 Podcast, and GM Hooly of The Dicepool Podcast join hosts Scott and Donald to unpack the latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Before we do that we have fun with the Top 5 sidekicks in movies, and then we have a deep dive with the experts about how to get super heroes into your Genesys games! Then we give a non-spoiler review if you haven't seen the movie, and then we unpack a LOT about the film. How were the special effects and action sequences? How did Brie Larson do as Captain Marvel? What about the new Nick Fury we saw? Did the movie get across what it was trying to? We discuss it all! We even have an interview with Scott's daughter, who was the target audience for the film.  So go grab your cat, put on your laser tag suit, and put on some Nirvana... it's time for Captain Marvel! 00:00:00 Introduction 00:23:50 Top 5 Sidekicks in Films 00:42:20 Give Me Genesys 01:09:40 Non-Spoiler Discussion 01:45:55 Chronological Spoiler Discussion Starts 01:49:15 Flashbacks & Muddled Memories 01:54:45 1st Battle Sequence 02:12:20 Nick Fury's Character Discussion 02:34:34 The Character of Carol Danvers 02:55:25 Carol's Revelations 03:09:00 Captain Marvel's Hero Moment 03:21:05 How the film ends 03:29:00 Scott's interview with his 14yo Daughter about the film 03:57:50 Mid-Credits Scene
