Captain Marvel (2019) is a film about a woman who is fucking sick and tired of being told who she is and I loved it so much.On Internet Archive

The film doesn't physically strip Carol of her powers like Thor: Ragnarok and Black Panther both do to up the stakes and create empathy for the characters. It mentally and emotionally strips her powers for most of the film and that's such an effective move.Permalink On Internet Archive

I /loved/ how the whole film pushed against the male-centric control-your-emotions style of training so prevalent in superhero (X-Men) and sci-fi movies (Star Wars). Emotions are part of you. Emotions are powerful. Fuck off with your patriarchal ""rational"" bullshit.Permalink On Internet Archive

If anything, it made me more nervous for Avengers: Endgame (2019) because I do not trust the Russo Brothers to handle that character properly. She's going to end up a pale caricature of the character like the Guardians or Thor in Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and... ugh.Permalink On Internet Archive

Plus Endgame was filmed before Captain Marvel so even Brie Larson didn't know the character at that point.Permalink On Internet Archive

Black Panther introduced the multifarious culture of Wakanda and Infinity War flattened out and decimated it. Thor: Ragnarok ended with the hope of Asgard as a people and Infinity War destroyed that in the first 5 minutes. I fear the same for Captain Marvel and Endgame.Permalink On Internet Archive
