They've already 'explained it.'
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.] [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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.
Spoiler!
Making Mar-vell a woman? Why?
Making the Skrulls some misunderstood victims of war just for pity points?
Fury came off as kind of goofy too. Really not what I expected for a younger Fury.
Wish thy would've fleshed out Starforce more. They didn't get enough time.
Due to the whole Skrull bad guys/victims switcharoo mid film, the actual villain seemed weak and the final fight was a letdown.
I actually liked what they did with Fury. Like he hasn't been beaten down by 2 decades of literally having the safety of the world on his shoulders yet.

The audience I was in clapped at the beginning of the movie when the marvel studios part was loading...pretty awesome. 2 end credit scenes...1st one is right away and is related to end game. Not absolutely necessary to see it but made me go...oh ok damn. 2nd one was a funny one.
I enjoyed the 90s references.
I probably will buy it on Blu-ray and might see it one more time.
The Marvel Studios opening was legit the most emotional part of the movie.
And I also lived Stan's cameo, and the script he was practicing.
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. [Reply]

Pager that Fury uses for Captain Marvel dies. Avengers try to get it working again and wonder who it’s for. Captain Marvel shows up asking where Fury is.

Anyone who’s complaining about it probably also yells at clouds.
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
