Review Detail

To start, it has to be said that Captain Marvel on release was a masterclass in how not to introduce a charcter into a cinematic universe. Not only did they decide to premiere a new character inbetween Infinity War/Endgame, but they picked a high powered superhero with few weaknesses who has an gigantic chip in her shoulder ( a chip that that the movie insufficiently justifies overall), and slapped her in somewhat underdeveloped movie. All just to end up using her as a minor plot device in Endgame because they didn't know how to handle her character's power level. While I think the sheer contempt that Carol was received with was beyond excessive, it is undeniable that she deserved a better showing than what she got.

With all that said, Tremault has done an amazing job at breathing new life into this character. The highlight of this edit for me is the narrative alterations. The introduction of key character development scenes give Carol and the villian additional complexity which, when paired with the reframing of Captain Marvel by focusing on her emotional connection with her friends and how that gives her strength, gives us a much more fulfilling arc for our heroine.

The video editing is overall solid. The use of colour in the movie to show Carol's emotional state is an amazing touch, and while there is a few scenes with some abrupt cutting (the kart scene/going to space with her new friends), it is understandable considering how much the main character's narrative is being shifted around. The audio editing was great with some soundtrack additions that more accurately reflect Carol's new personality.

Overall, while this movie still is somewhat cursed to forever be a b-tier marvel offering, Tremault has crafted an edit that is truly commendable in what she has achieved with it by making a vastly improved experience. If you plan on doing any Marvel movie binges, this edit is something you should look definitely look into. Thanks for the edit!
