Movie Reviews and Previews Captain Marvel punches the patriarchy Captain Marvel is an oddity by way of being the first solo-led superheroine movie produced by Marvel Studios.

Movie Reviews and Previews Brie Larson is getting it done Brie Larson’s press tour for Captain Marvel has been solid. It’s the most interesting she’s been, and she has spoken astutely about what these kinds of big franchise roles mean when it comes to representation, as well as the cross-section of promotion and representation. She’s aiming By Sarah • Feb 13, 2019 03:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Brie Larson embraces her inner Captain Marvel I had a lot of doubts about Brie Larson from the moment she was cast as Captain Marvel. Not doubts about her acting—she is a good actress. But she’s much younger than Carol Danvers is normally portrayed, and she didn’t seem like Carol, not the messy Carol By Sarah • Feb 06, 2019 10:51 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Higher Further Faster, Baby Captain Marvel released its best teaser/trailer yet during the Super Bowl. I wish we could go back in time and have this be the first teaser, and then build up from there because this is a great tone to strike for Carol Danvers. It’s exhilarating and cool and By Sarah • Feb 04, 2019 11:37 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain Marvel’s time travelling If you’ve been visiting this site over the years, you know that I don’t know anything about superhero comic books.

Movie Reviews and Previews Captain Marvel chills It is insane to me when I go back and read my early posts on Captain Marvel and Brie Larson, because now that I can see her in action, I’m like, WHY DID I EVER DOUBT? When has Marvel ever been wrong? Besides Ed Norton and Terrence Howard, when By Sarah • Jan 08, 2019 09:46 am
Movie Reviews and Previews I TAKE IT ALL BACK I have been skeptical of Brie Larson from the moment she was announced as Captain Marvel. Not anything against her, personally, just that she’s too young, and wasn’t the most interesting name in the mix. Well, guess what? I TAKE IT ALL BACK. I am sold on Brie By Sarah • Dec 04, 2018 10:29 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Captain Marvel: a woman who won’t stay down We’re six months out from the release of Captain Marvel, which means that Marvel’s internal marketing alarm has gone off and, like clockwork, they dropped the first trailer yesterday.

Movie Reviews and Previews Captain Marvel FINALLY If you’ll recall, I was not impressed with the set photos from Captain Marvel, showing intergalactic superhero Carol Danvers in some budget green space suit. Carol Danvers has been around since the 1960s, and in 2012 she got an upgrade (courtesy writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artists Dexter Soy By Sarah • Sep 05, 2018 02:58 pm
