I saw Captain Marvel just. I don't know how to feel about these woke films made by massive corporations (see also Black Panther). On the one hand it's great that they have plenty of normal female characters, and maybe there are small girls watching it who feel empowered or whatever, but they leave me with the uneasy feeling that important political things that people believe in are being monetised and exploited. And I'm 99.9% sure that those political themes are only present in the film because they make money, not because any executive at Marvel gives a flying fuck about them.
The film itself is standard Marvel tripe - her witty/sarcastic personality is transplanted directly from any other Marvel character - okay if you're into that and like looking at planets and things blowing up and whatnot (which I do from time to time).
Someone tell me how to feel please.
