Ayyyy I saw The Marvels. It was a lot of fun! Some thoughts!

So I complained about Captain Marvel from the Captain Marvel movie, and this feels like the first time she's more in line with her comics counterpart and had all the stuff I love about the character. She's headstrong, a bit of a hot head, and determined to do the right thing. She's flawed, and she makes mistakes and that crushes her when it happens. THIS is the Captain Marvel that we needed to have. And I think she would have been far better received if she were like this in her debut. Brie Larson still feels like she's not a great fit for the character, and a couple of her scenes felt a bit rough, but overall she was many times better in this movie.

Ms. Marvel stole the show. Iman Vellani was the best casting they could have done with this character.

Concerning Spectrum (or whatever they want to call Monica now), I think she was also really good in the movie. Her story beats were done well and her actress was great. The only negative is that she didn't end up in the NEXTWAVE universe. Feels bad.

The plot was fine, but the swapping gimmick was fun. Music planet was fun. Just a fun film, and I missed jumping into Marvel movies and just having a fun time with a measured amount of jokes and good action, and this gave it to me. The villain was whatever, but that's what you get when you drag a character who was in like five comics and then make them important. I don't really have a lot to say about the plot.

BUT THEY'RE FINALLY DOING SOMETHING WITH THE YOUNG AVENGERS! Fucking hell, finally. And I am 100% alright with Kate Bishop going "You know I'm 23, right?" Like yeah, okay. I don't have to keep bitching about how they are wasting the idea of the YOUNG Avengers by having them all age out. Call them the Champions. New Avengers. Whatever you have to do. Give me more of this and don't make me wait until Secret Wars (I'll be waiting until Secret Wars).

I do not care about bad CGI Beast, the old X-Men universe, or any of this multiverse shit make it end for the love of god. Get this nostalgia bait the hell away from the MCU and focus on your own shit. Shi'ar are coming from this, so I guess we'll get DEATHBIRD out of it, who is strangely Captain Marvel's longest running archvillain.

But this movie with it's mediocre antagonist makes me so fed up and wanting Moonstone already. I am quickly losing hope she'll be on the Thunderbolts since that movie looks like it's going to suck and isn't taking the fun and interesting concept of it and is instead giving us freaking Secret Avengers (SO CALL IT SECRET AVENGERS). It's just irritating that Moonstone would be awesome in one of these movies and we're passing her up again.

And finally, give me SWORD and give me Abigail Brand already. Abigail Brand would rule in the MCU, especially with all of this space bullshit going on. We need a no-nonsense been over it before it started leader of this space group. Fury is fun, but hand it over to Brand!
