Captain Marvel
I saw Captain Marvel the other night! A fun movie. I really loved Carol, and her storyline of finding herself and freeing herself.
I also loved her interactions with Fury, their whole dynamic was AMAZINGGG, plus also her friendship with Maria was lovely and also Monica! And I want to know more about Mar-Vell, she seemed super cool too.
Also I think Carol is my not-having-to-smile-spiration. I really liked the things she did with her face. And something about this made me feel, like, weirdly comfortable in myself on my way home from the movie.
The plot with the skrulls on the other hand was..... Well, as Rose Lerner says, a story about a race of lizard people infiltrating the earth is really uncomfortable wrt antisemitic tropes even if their evilness is subverted in the second half. I'm sure the creators just weren't thinking about it rather than being actively malicious but it's still unfortunate.
