I went to see Captain Marvel with a group of twelve other comics nerds last night, mostly women or woman-adjacent folks. Which was a great idea! I liked it, and I definitely liked seeing it with a group of like-minded individuals. If it's 4 out of 5 for the last Marvel Superhero movies I've watched, it's only because three of them were Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, Black Panther, and Thor: Ragnarok. And visually, it's nowhere near any of those films, nor is it trying to be.

I still find it weird to be epicenter of the target demographic for this movie, give or take a few years. And it still feels odd, like I'm so used to the idea that if we (for a couple different versions of we) have to Make Our Own Thing to have any content that's supposed to appeal to us. And now there's a big budget option for me at least, even if the big budget option is also partially funded by the military.

And then got home around midnight, and had to get out the door by 7am this morning. This was not an easy morning.
