I haven’t had a chance to see the Captain Marvel movie yet, but you can bet I will. In the meantime, here are my thoughts on the comic on which it’s based. The 2012 run of Captain Marvel by Kelly Sue DeConnick was my first superhero comic.
Captain Marvel doesn’t really seem like the hand-holding type. She’s sassy, not too patient, and when she gets upset, she just wants to hit something.
Yet somehow she was the one beside me, coaxing me as I took my first step into a larger world. Because I finally read my first real superhero comic, and it was Kelly Sue Deconnick’s 2012 Captain Marvel series.
I know plenty about superheroes, because I’ve watched a lot of DC and Marvel animated series. That’s actually how I first heard of Carol Danvers, the current Captain Marvel: I knew that somehow she was responsible for Rogue’s powers of flight and super-strength in the 90s X-men cartoon.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the rise of comic-book movies to the mainstream in recent years, but now I’m thinking that if I enjoy them so much, maybe I should actually, you know, read comic books?

Somehow I thought this superhero was a male, nevertheless Captain Marvel looks like another good action movie. I hope to see it soon too. Good post 😀

Oh, there are several male superheroes also known at times as Captain Marvel. It’s confusing! One is now called Shazam and he has a movie out now, too.
