When I first saw the promos for the new Captain Marvel movie, I was confused. I’ve read Captain Marvel and seen Captain Marvel in movies, and until very recently, I never imagined Captain Marvel as a women (Brie Lawson.)
Nor could I have imagined a woman – Anne Boden – directing this most macho and ingrained of super heroes.
Disney, of all places, is showing that even evil corporations can sometimes do good, they are radically altering the way we see women in our culture. Women no longer exist in film primarily to be bedded and rescued.
Maria, not a great fan of superhero movies, wants to come and see this movie, she also sniffs a kind of history being made.
I don’t have any illusions that this is going to be a great film, it doesn’t sound like it. But it might be an important film, and it might also be fun, and if so, I want to write about it. This is my history too.
I’ll check in later.
