Captain Marvel is an unapologetically female empowering film whose heroine isn't feminine to those who define that word while perpetuating the male gaze. Yet neither is Captain Marvel a nurturing averse fighter like a gender swapped representation of masculinity as defined by a testosterone overdosing patriarchal society. No, Carol Danvers is a human being who happens to be a woman; a beautiful soul who is a non-caricature to the offense of no feminist audience members anywhere and to the displeasure of no intelligent viewers everywhere.
Beyond their portrayal of a person in the lead role, I love that the filmmakers proudly stuck up their middle fingers (via subtext which was upon the border of non-ambiguity) to the real-world propaganda which posits that refugees are terrorists. I enjoyed this film, as I expected I would, even though this film's first act is in a hurry to meet its latter two act companions. Yet what I wasn't prepared for was how empathic of a film Captain Marvel is.
