Brie Larson in a scene from"Captain Marvel." By Alyssa Rosenberg Alyssa Rosenberg Opinion writer covering culture Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 7 at 4:10 PM This column discusses the plot of “Captain Marvel” in general terms.
Our titular heroine is first introduced in 1995 as Vers, a member of the elite — literally blue-blooded — race of Kree warriors. Vers is having pesky dreams of a different life, one in which her father and brother were mean to her about her desire to race go-karts, and an obnoxious pilot taunts her by saying “You do know why they call it a cockpit.
But just because Carol is absent from the planet during those events doesn’t mean they didn’t happen, or that her rude comrade-in-arms is an aberration rather than an expression of a specific culture. As a result, “Captain Marvel” often feels like its period setting was picked for the soundtrack opportunities or the chance to make pay phone, Blockbuster and AltaVista jokes rather than for its events and ideas.
Because the movie fails to say much of anything about Earth, “Captain Marvel” misses an opportunity to develop a potentially powerful parallel between the two military services in which Carol serves. Early in the film, the commander of Carol’s Kree special forces squadron, Yon-Rogg , insists that he is asking her to suppress her emotions only because he wants her to be the best version of herself as they gear up for a fight against the hated Skrulls.
why so
Lean in is NOT emancipation
Anyone who would pass on this film solely based on the opinion of a single person who clearly isn’t a Marvel fan to begin with is a bandwagon rider incapable of independent thought.
As we all know anyone who doesn't give a glowing review must be a woman hating man baby in the basement of their mother's home.
But, she ain't got no booty tho.
Another SJW political propaganda
Well, that headline is enough to keep me from seeing it
Did no one read this article? It's extremely negative and critical of the movie...
It's okay for girl movies to be bad, WaPo . . . you don't need to get so defensive.
Que estupidez querer introducir realidades en una fantasía
And they wonder why it's getting panned.
If you had posted this on any other day, you might have been taken seriously. Pathetic, guys...
Important to contrast this film with wonder woman, which was a terrible movie written by 4 men and directed by one woman.
Hard pass!
No one cares about your opinion
Wrong!!! 🤮
is this the same reviewer who didn't like the Matrix & thot it was about aliens?
Thought we learned “Lean In” was a crock of shit.
The SJW-ification of movies will end terribly. Don't try again.
She rocks
