I mean if dollar store costumes are your thing.. sure.
I forwarded your theory to Double Toasted (and a couple other sites; while giving credit) and they touched on it in their podcast.

For half the budget of DC's vfx shots you too can see once again!
just fuckin with you lol. But really, come on!
I dunno what it is, but both trailers are just boring.
I like the space stuff, but everything on earth is just bland.

Batman v. Superman is an ugly movie and does not look better than Black Panther, Guardians 2 or Infinity War.
I won't argue Man of Steel but BvS ain't it.
Looks really poor and had no real reason to do so. Maybe it's just the trailers but I didn't get a good feeling from this at all - especially since this is post infinity war so they know what a good trailer looks/ feels like
That's... just what the Skrulls look like?
Like they're just green aliens with weird shins and pointy ears?
My main thought after seeing BvS in the theatre was about how incredibly dark and muddy that film looked. It didn't improve upon repeated viewings. It's been a while since I've seen MoS but when I think about that movie all I think is grey and colourless.
FAKE EDIT:
Yeah I looked up screencaps of MoS and it looks exactly like I remember
There are bits of this that look great and I still have high hopes overall...
But damn those skrulls look rough onscreen. I know that's basically what they look like but I'm getting live action piccolo vibes and can't shake em. I'm sold on everything we've seen from Carol though, helmet phasing is cool and she's rocking the space battles. Hope we get the proper mohawk by A4.

The colours just don't seem bold enough. They should be at least Hulk-green. At least Gamora-green.
They just have that 'the comic book visuals would be too ridiculous' muting of their look, at least to my eyes.
Honestly, they kinda need to tone the look down because Skrulls having crumply chins just like Thanos would probably confuse less comic-savvy viewers.
I think both of those movies are kinda ugly. Super desaturated and muddy, some really bad CGI (that entire Superman/Zod fight), and the camerawork during a lot of BvS' action scenes (thinking especially of the Doomsday fight and Batmobile chase) is a mess, which is funny given how much some people praise Snyder for at least being able to do action well.
A lot of Marvel's movies in the past have been shot very flatly (though I think this is sometimes worked in a weird way; like the flat lighting in the first Avengers actually helps the colors of the film pop more, even if it exposes the fakeness of the sets) but I think they've generally improved the last several years. Whereas the cinematography of Snyder's two movies just feels juvenile to me.
Whedon actually did want to bring in Carol at the end of Age of Ultron
I'm pretty into this for more Nick Fury and the way Captain Marvel's backstory is being told looks cool (I don't know anything about the hero).
Thats... a pretty big spoiler for those who know. Does that make sense?Posting this toy here, with a spoiler tag, Fury & Goose :
Oh cool. Thanks.
I was thinking of posting my theory to Reddit, but I felt there was too little evidence in the trailer and too much speculation for it to gain traction, but I really think a non-linear story in the MCU would be really well received, so I hope there is something more to this film that it appears on the surface.
It might have been good to play up the crumply chins since, and I just found this out due to learning about the Eternals, that the Skrulls we know were the result of the Deviant offshoot of the Eternals by Celestial experimentation.
Then given that Thanos is an Eternal with a sort of Deviant appearance, there is an interesting link that I never realized. I expect the Eternals movie to explore these sorts of connections because they could really blow the minds of comic and non-comic fans alike and flesh out the cosmic side of things really interestingly to set the stage for even more interesting stories going forward.

omg don't tell me the cat is a Skrull XD
Short excerpt from Reddit person who supossedly saw the latest CCXP footage in Brazil. No spoilers, just commenting on Brie's performance in general terms.
Sounding damn good, if true.
Sounding damn good, if true.
The press impressions from that CCXP sound very promising as well.
I stand where I always have since Brie was revealed as Carol: it's going to be an amazing Marvel movie led by the best actor they could have possibly cast. I selfishly relish all the crow the concern trolls will be force-fed.
I dunno if it's fair to call them concern trolls when the trailers Marvel has put out definitely make Brie seem detached and aloof.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't apprehensive after the trailers.
Same. But between those impressions, and Brie's comments on her considering this to be probably her most dynamic role, clearly the trailers aren't doing her justice.
Eh... I get where you are coming from, and that's fair. I guess I just see that they are holding a lot back (for reasons) and am a bit biased because I am a huge fan of Brie's previous work, and also of Carol Danvers.
I can see how, in a vacuum, these trailers can feel off the mark for others. The tone is a bit off, perhaps. She DOES seem detached and aloof.
I am just really psyched for this film in weird ways, and that makes me say hyperbolic things about it, probably because I am reading things into it that the trailers did not convey.
Yeah, my thought process going into the trailers was, "who the fuck is Captain Marvel and why should I care about her?" I imagine that's how most felt too.
Still, I said the same about Ant-Man and GotG. But then the trailers delivered, so I was on board. With CM I'm still like, man... I want to believe...
It's gonna be good. Bookmark this and future shame me otherwise. <3
I've always felt that the DCU uniforms look more like cheaply costumes you would find at a store rather than something a superhero would wear. Marvel did a great job bringing their comic book costumes into reality whereas DC just doesn't have the vision for the big screen. Nolan's Batman came the closest to anything that could have been grounded to reality. Personally, I think DC should stick to Animation and make that their Universe.
MoS Supes suit and Bats BvS suit look like dollar store suits?
Please tell me where cause I want to buy them for cheap.
This is the least excited I am for a MCU film in a long time. Never read the comics, so I don't know, but is Carol Danvers supposed to be an unlikable character? In these trailers alone, I dislike how arrogant and rude (and bland) she is, and I'm starting to dread the idea that Marvel builds up 10 years of fantastic characters with intricate stories and connections and development, and in the end, this one character introduced this late and deep in the phase, and have her steal the spot light, defeat Thanos and saves the day.
