Ridley was female by casting, there was no femininity in her heroics. It doesn't count as social progress if you just 'stuntcast' a woman into a man's role. You're not diversifying the actual narratives. [Don't ask me how they reconcile Sarah Connor being driven by maternal instinct. I'm sure they came up with something about the bourgeoisie and patriarchal roleplay.] |

In 1991 my friends and I realized how much of a badass she was in that movie AND we ALWAYS realized that a woman was going to eventually kill the killer in any slasher. |

I thought it was OK. A little underwhelming. I didn't really like how drastically they changed things from the comics. Most of the changes felt completely unnecessary.

Just saw the movie. All I can say is...meh.
Not a bad movie just not a great one. The Skrull make up looked goofy and amateurish. The "Grrrrrrril" rock songs got old after the second song. Seems like there was a better movie lurking under the surface, it just couldn't get out. And one big thing that made no sense...

I just got out of the theater an hour ago and I don’t get any of the fuss about the political stuff.
There’s one “girl power” scene the entire movie and it wasn’t out of place. Anyone who’s complaining about it probably also yells at clouds. It’s a solid 7/10 for me. The first half was super slow but after that it was entertaining. |

Listen, my captain marvel reaction shouldn’t hold any weight it’s the opinion of an “internet comedian” but don’t come at me about the woman thing. Wonder Woman made me want to be Wonder Woman I just didn’t like captain marvel like Y'all acting like Marvel can’t make a bad movie.
One of the funniest review that I have seen on social media. |

The political "girl power" stuff is from Larson's mouth outside of the movie while promoting the movie - has nothing to do with the movie itself other than having the lead be a female. Pay attention. |

That's kind of what it seemed like leading up to the movie. She can use this movie all she wants to promote whatever world view she'd like, I really couldn't care less. I just want a good Marvel movie as I've come to expect from them, that's it. Just don't go full The Last Jedi on me, and everything will be fine.
