Captain Marvel was a delight and fantastic and everything I wanted it to be and I am so, so pleased. 😸❤💛💙 (spoiler free inside!)

sometimes when a movie has source material you're already very close to, it's easy to even unconsciously build up expectations. I just wanted it to be good - and yes, there are differences from the comics, but imo they nailed it

like - that's my Carol up there on the screen. she's fun and funny and a smartass and strong and full of heart, and she gets to be all of the things that I know she is in the comics.

and I am so, so, so excited that so many people get to know her now, and I hope that her stories can inspire other people the way they inspired me. this one was a really, really great way to start off her journey in the mcu and kept the spirit of like ... several different stories I've loved.

while also avoiding a lot of the ... shall we say, low points.
