Opinion | 'Captain Marvel' isn't trailblazing like 'Wonder Woman' — but it's still a lot of fun

of the comic — first called “Ms. Marvel” — wasn’t introduced until the late 1970s, as a girlfriend of the now-deceased Captain Marvel. The “Captain” moniker wasn’t officially given to her until 2012, after the MCU was well established at Disney and the company most likely looking for a female hero who could carry her own feature film. In the new movie, Marv-Vell is still a Kree character who dies and in death helps Danvers gain new powers.

But while “Captain Marvel” isn't exactly shattering glass ceilings, neither does it minimize the female experience. Danvers , now rechristened “Vers,” is a member of an elite squad called Starforce fighting to protect the Kree homeworld from the Skrulls, a dangerous and shapeshifting rival race. She has no memory of her life on Earth, until a mission under her commander Yon-Rogg goes sideways.

THINK Garbage

THINK The movie is just terrible. Admit it

THINK

THINK The sexist headlines aren’t really helpful. Especially when considering the male superheroes ALWAYS have something to prove. It’s kinda an important plot point.
