Captain Marvel Is Stupendous! Or Something...
Captain Marvel isn't the BEST MCU movie (That honor goes to Infinity War ) but I also enjoyed myself. With that said, I did have one slight problem that, coming from a "half-white male", might sound problematic so I'll need you to hang on and stick with me, OK? They tried WAY too hard in the "girl power" department. By that I mean there were a whole bunch of scenes of guys telling Carol/Captain Marvel/Vers that she should give up because she's a girl and she defiantly stands up and says "NO!" This would've been OK once but several times throughout the movie? And having a guy tell her "you should smile" was like "OK, we get it, she's a woman, guys are assholes". I admit men are assholes but there are other ways to show that our lead character is confidant and a bad ass. Like take Ripley from Alien . No one ever told her "hey just smile" or "You should stay behind while us MEN fight this alien...
