A new weekend marathon from TNT is kicking off this week that includes all modern superhero movies they have the broadcast rights to. And this weekend, it features the highly-anticipated Marvel Studios movie Captain Marvel starring Oscar winner Brie Larson.
First, the good news: Captain Marvel is a pretty solid Marvel paint-by-numbers action flick that works on many levels. It’s an Avengers origin story that doubles as a film about Captain Marvel herself, with plenty of humor and glee.
The bad news: It’s also a frustratingly self-indulgent piece of storytelling that feels like it wants to take its time with Carol Danvers’ character instead of just introducing her quickly and then letting the story go. And the problem is, there is so much going on that it’s hard to keep track of everything at all times.
Captain Marvel on tnt
This newest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t the first time a Marvel hero has been given an origin story, and it won’t be the last. But it is the first to be led by a female protagonist and that fact has been met with a great deal of criticism from fans who feel like a woman’s place in a superhero movie should be on the sidelines.
So the question is, how do you write a strong female superhero without making it Superman with boobs? That’s a question that comes up often, but it also one that isn’t easy to answer. It’s a complicated issue, and one that requires a lot of thought and consideration on the part of everyone involved in the process.
