Captain Marvel’s shallow take on feminism doesn’t land
This post contains spoilers for Captain Marvel
In the pinnacle moment of Captain Marvel’s final fight sequence, Gwen Stefani’s “I’m Just a Girl” starts playing as Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers kicks everyone’s ass.
The subtext, in case you missed it, is that Carol Danvers might just be a girl. But being just a girl is pretty kick ass.
This moment — and every other one when Marvel seems to suddenly remember that Captain Marvel is its first movie with a solo female lead ever — summons the same feelings of a modern Dove commercial. It’s a cloying sensation, the off-putting suspicion that your own crushing sense of disempowerment is being exploited to sell you soap. Read more…

‘Captain Marvel’ throws back to the ’90s with optical illusion posters designed to make you hate yourself
The Captain Marvel marketing team is back on the nostalgia hype train with the release of five “Magic Eye” posters.
These 3D optical illusions were first made popular through the Magic Eye book series known to pretty much any ’90s kid with a library card, and now continue to haunt those of us who could never see their hidden secrets in the first place.
The pictures’ colorful, abstract patterns are supposed to reveal hidden images when stared at long enough, but personally they make me feel like Star-Lord at the end of Infinity War – that is to say, a disappointment to every living being on this planet including and especially myself. Read more…
