Part 1/9:
The Crumbling Image of Brie Larson and the "Captain Marvel" Franchise
A Flop That Was Overshadowed by Marvel's Blockbusters

Positioned between "Infinity War" and "Endgame," the movie was perceived as a strategic attempt to push a new female-led superhero into the spotlight. Despite the hype, the film was met with indifference from a broad audience, largely due to its bland protagonist—a character portrayed as perfect and always right, with virtually no flaws.
