Now, on to the main event.
A FUCKING CAT CLAWED OUT FURY'S EYE??!!!
Sorry, let me rephrase that.
A FUCKING FLERKEN CLAWED OUT FURY'S EYE??!!!
Rising warrior, Vers, is about to prove herself with a mission to rescue a Kree spy when they are ambushed by the band of Skrulls, shapeshifting aliens that have been keeping the viewers on the edge since Hydra took over S.H.I.E.L.D.
She gets captured, and the Kree are tapping into her memories that are buried deep until she uses her the photon blasters in her hands to break out and get away from her captors. Unfortunately, her blasting about caused her to crash land on Earth, in a Blockbuster Video. From there, she contacts her crew and awaits their signal.
The next morning, Agent Nick Fury and Agent Phil Coulson arrive to pick up Vers when Skrulls attack. One even takes the form of Coulson, until Fury causes a car accident and kills the Skrull...and nearly losing his trademark eye.
Then the movie takes a trip down Buddy Cop Lane by having Vers and Fury team up and find the whereabouts of Dr. Lawson, a woman locked up in Vers' memories. And that's not the only thing locked up in her memories. She begins to remember that she once had a life before she was part of the Kree. She was always torn down by boys and men. They don't want her to win at racing go-carts, pool, karaoke, or making it into the Air Force.
Fury and Vers find that Maria Rambeau is the last person to see Lawson alive. They visit Rambeau and discover that Vers knows her and her daughter. But they aren't the only ones. A few members of the Skrulls have come to persuade Vers to join their cause. It turns out the Skrulls are a refugee species that the Kree are trying to eliminate. Not only did Vers know Dr. Lawson, but she helped her on a test that would set off a chain of events that involves them crashing. Lawson is actually a Kree scientist that was aiding the Skrulls. Her project was to create a lightspeed technology to aid in their journey for a new home. When they crashed, Yon-Rogg, who was her mentor, killed Lawson and was about to kill Vers, but Vers shot the engine to destroy it and absorbed the energy core inside it in the most Hulk-ifying way. So Yon-Rogg took her to train her.
In the ultimate battle, we discover that Lawson's secret lab was hovering in space, the Tesseract is what gave Vers her power, and a stowaway cat, named Goose, is actually a dangerous Flerken that can shoot tentacles out of his mouth. And for the first time ever, a hero actually let the enemy live. No, Loki does not count; he let himself go. But instead of locking Yon-Rogg, Vers, now called Carol, sends him to the Kree with a message that she will be coming for them. Carol gives Fury his pager back, since she took it from him in the beginning because he called back up, and said to use it in emergencies only.
I want to apologize for my anger towards her, wondering where she was when the world was dissolving. She was helping the Skrulls find a home.
I feel this was very bad planning by Marvel. Carol has made an appearance in the Endgame trailers; we know she's gonna be in the movie. And when she shows up in the mid-credits scene, it's like "Well, duh!"
It was cool seeing Coulson back in action after what I saw at the end of season five of S.H.I.E.L.D. It makes sense how Fury and Coulson ticked in the early days of the MCU. They worked together. And when Fury "died", he made Coulson the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. But I think something doesn't add up. Coulson's a rookie agent in this movie, set in 1995. In episode whatever the hell, of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson and Agent May were in charge of the infant Daisy to put her in an orphanage in 1989. The show and the movies failed to mention how it takes to move up a level in S.H.I.E.L.D.
I don't know whether to be excited or annoyed that the Avengers Initiative was named after Carol's callsign. It's like, "Oh, cool, the Avengers are named after Captain Marvel," while at the same time, it's like, "Really? The Avengers are named after Captain Marvel?" Then it kind of doesn't make sense. The first Captain America movie is called The First Avenger. He's never called that in the movie, so what gives?
Speaking of Captain America, a classmate of my sister thinks that this movie was sexist to underprivileged boys. <Sighs><Sits down, like I'm old> Steve Rogers is an underprivileged boy. The skinny kid from Brooklyn enlisted to the U. S. Army five times, and every time he gets turned down. Then he's given the opportunity to take part in a secret experiment that gave him his powers.
I heard that Steve doesn't like Carol, and I see why. She's him, only better. Remember, his best power is that he could never get drunk. Carol's best power? We don't f*cking know! Legend says she can time travel and go binary, which sounds like she turns into a cyborg. My point is that it was long overdue for a girl-led movie. The main leads in the solo movies are Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther, all males. Even the Guardians of the Galaxy is led by a male, even though the girl one is the most badass of the bunch.
The whole theme of the movie is "Discover what makes her a hero". Every time she falls over, gets pushed down, crashes, every time she goes down, she gets back up. That's what makes her a hero. She's strong. She's intelligent. She doesn't have to prove Jude Law anything. That is what makes her a hero.
I hope you liked this. Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment about what you thought or if you want to recommend a movie for me to review. Thank you for reading. I'll return next week with another movie. See you then.

How It Should Have Ended - How Captain Marvel Should Have Ended
I cried in this movie. Because I'm a 90's girl. Because she is just so damned beautiful and how she plays it. Finally a "comic book movie" plot device I can relate to other than the death of Yondu
