Black Widow versus Captain Marvel versus Wandavision

[Witchfan]

Which female Avenger had the best solo outing, Natasha, Carol, or Wanda?

[Celgress]

Wandavision, IMO. I know I enjoyed it the most.

I rank them -

1.) Wandavision
2.) Captain Marvel
3.) Black Window (it just didn't feel exciting or interesting to me compared with the others)

Wanda Vision > Black Widow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Captain Marvel

Carol's movie ranks among the bottom of the MCU to me. It's heavily carried by it's supporting cast.

Wanda Vision > Black Widow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Captain Marvel

Carol's movie ranks among the bottom of the MCU to me. It's heavily carried by it's supporting cast.

That’s way nicer than I was gonna put it, so gonna “ditto” these sentiments.

For me it's Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and then Wandavision. Not a judgement on Black Widow, which I liked, just enjoyed CM a little more.
Wandavision had that great first half with all the TV parodies, really fantastic and imaginative, it just lost me on the landing. Didn't dig the whole Agatha Harkness stuff.

Black Widow, then WandaVision, and last Captain Marvel.

While not added Jessica Jones is still my favorite that 1st season was great, 2nd season good, and 3rd was really good better than season 2 but not near season 3.

I'm not sure it would be right to put WandaVision as a comparison to Widow and Marvel, as it had about 9 hours to tell it's story versus the about 2 the other two had. It would make more sense to compare it to the other shows, but that would defeat the purpose of the thread. I dunno.

Best solo outing has yet to be achieved, but Black Widow was better than Captain Marvel. I agree about comparison and that I'll never compare streaming tv shows with movies released in cinemas and it wouldn't be fair because I didn't even love any of the D+ shows.

Didn't see WandaVision, but did really like both movies. May have had more affinity for Black Widow, but I had followed her story longer. They are kinda different movies; one is introducing us to a new character, the other is giving her a sendoff mixed with a long overdue solo story.

Wandavsion was a mini TV series. It is not a fair comparison to the others. people should not really compare movies and TV. TV is far more at an advantage because they have more time to cover more stories, plot lines and characters.

However Wandavsion by MCU Disney Standard is one of the far better things they have done because it was a tad a bit different than their status superhero quo.

As for Black Widow and Captain Marvel. I saw captain marvel once and I don't deeply remember much about it, but I do remember the movie just been very dull even the characters and the space battle CGI was just......blah. It was a film I knew I will see not again.

Neither movies have any impressive film making quality like watching the No Man's Land scene from Wonder Woman. But where Captain Marvel really suffers is in the characters. Captain Marvel did not have the characters to carry the film or make it watchable after one try. Carol and Monica Rambeau were just blah characters with barely any depth, likability or personality, unlike Natasha and Yelena so Black Widow wins on that.


Lastly Samuel L Jackson in Captain Marvel playing Nick Fury was his weakest performance on the character compared to his performances in Winter Solider and Avengers 1. it felt like he did not want to be there or was just there for a pay check. His performance was so phoned in. he could not even carry the film to make it memorable.
