Captain Marvel versus Thanos

Amongst the many things the angry fanboys are PMS-ing about with Captain Marvel is this belief that she is being set up to be basically the sole thing that takes down Thanos in Endgame. That she has been made TOO powerful.

Have these people paid attention at all? Did they not see Infinity War? As of the start of that movie probably the 3 most indestructible characters were Thor, Hulk and Vision. And before the first 5 minutes of that movie has passed, Thanos had already kicked the shit out of Thor and Hulk, and that was with only one infinity stone in possession. I'm sure the Russos were quite deliberate in having Thanos best them right off the bat, so there was no doubt how imposing Thanos was.
Then at the end of the film Thanos doesn't even have to break a sweat to kill an admittedly already weakened Vision.

Even if Carol is more powerful than those 3, she has a lot of ground to make up to be Thanos's match.

And besides, the Russos are not going to have it be that simple. Endgame is clearly set up as a movie centered on the original Avengers. Whatever takes down Thanos will be almost certainly be from that core group. Carol will have an important part to play, but they aren't going to have her just show up, throttle Thanos, and call it a day.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
