There's so much to love in Captain Marvel, especially Captain Marvel via nparts
Has it really been 10 years and 20 movies? Seems like only yesterday we were being introduced to Iron Man, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Hulk Man … you get the picture. But all that changes – finally! – with the introduction of a stand-alone female Marvel superhero. And in spite of what some dark, hairy corners of the internet would have you believe, she’s awesome. Truly the best thing about Captain Marvel is Captain Marvel.
That means arms dealer Tony Stark is still building his fortune, Captain America is still frozen in ice, and Spider-Man hasn’t even been born. But Nick Fury is already an agent of SHIELD, played by a digitally de-aged Samuel L. Jackson, an effect that takes some getting used to. Never one to look a gift Kree in the mouth, he quickly throws in his lot with Vers, who has to track down an Earth scientist and her plans for a light-speed engine before the Skrulls get to her.
This one works as well as it does thanks to Larson’s very human take on the role – she’s resolute, often perplexed, open-minded; in a word, redoubtable. She takes an Earth name, because Vers sounds silly. Oh, and she smiles, with one hilarious exception that must have been added late in production after internet trolls said she looked too serious in the trailer.
