Movie got a lot of unwarranted hate, it was fine. It wasn't FANTASTIC or anything, but it was fine.
- Everything that stars a woman gets unwarranted hate. I heard the Fanboys going nuts and calling Echo "woke". I watched it all and I can't think of a single woke thing in it, aside from the main character being a native woman, which I guess is what's driving them crazy
  
  My only real beef with Echo was I JUST watched What If Season 2 that had it's own magical natives and I was like "Again? Didn't we just do this?"
- It straddled that line between fine and good. IMO
  
  My only beef was I've seen physics done better in video games. Some of it was laughably bad. :(
  
  Something in particular you can point out? I feel a bunch of physics gripes are hand-waved away 'cause superheoes
  
  Captain Marvel vs. the Space Ships here:

  There were others. Once clips become more widely available you'll see what I mean.
  
  I'm gonna be honest. I don't see anything particularly bad, let alone laughably bad. It just looks like normal CGI space ship battles.
  
  It's when she stops the ship dead in mid air and flings it away. Physics does not work like that. /Morbo :)
  
  How does the physics supposed to work In that scene? A flying super human with super human strength stopping a smallish ship mid air and flinging it?
  
  Ya, captain marvel flies into and then out of a star at the end of the movie. Her stopping something dead in its tracks is peanuts compared to that.
  
  Edit, I actually watched the clip this time, she gets knocked back a little bit catching the ship. There is nothing silly here at all.
  
  Stopping suddenly like that would have destroyed the ship, it would have crumpled around her.
  
  Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years
  
  When Supes did that it took effort, the plane would still push him backwards. It wasn't an instant stop of momentum and flip.
  
  Same physics should apply to Louis Lane falling from a helicopter and superman catching her from below right?
  
  You'd think, right?
  
  I liked how Alan Moore dealt with it in Miracleman:
  
  Makes sense. Thanks
- Pacing was my biggest issue. Either make the film longer to give scene/characters time to breathe or cut even more subplots from the movie.
  
  I do agree it was ultimately fine, but there was a better movie in there.
