#Captin marvel review movie#
I already wrote a spoiler free review, but now that the movie has been out a few days I am ready to get in to the spoilers with you. I took my daughters to see Captain Marvel on opening night and the whole family loved it. Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1 is available wherever comics are sold.This post is in no way sponsored. The style is enjoyable, and the generational gap between Carol and Gwen is clear enough to result in a hearty lesson in the end. I have enjoyed the Marvel Action stories from IDW, and Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1 is no exception. How it is, it’s unclear whether I should think one character or the other is more right or wrong in a way that in adult media would make sense, but for a younger audience feels a bit confusing. Or perhaps a little more healthy tension between them to accentuate the inevitable lessons about generational differences. The ultimate moral of the story should, of course, be reserved for the final issue, but I would have liked to get at least a taste of the lessons Captain Marvel and Ghost Spider are bound to learn about each other and themselves. My only true complaint is that because the issue is only the first half of a whole story, it feels like it never drives home any message. While the characters aren’t exactly deep and fleshed out, they’re also easy to understand and latch onto. And it definitely works as an introduction. The illustrative and coloring style help make it clear this story is designed for a younger and new audience. It’s not overly stylized, but it’s clearly distinct from the typical Marvel style of today. It’s a nice story, and my only complaint is that it feels too short, and I have to wait for the second issue.Īs with all Marvel Action titles from IDW, Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1‘s take on the Marvel universe is fun. They just want to also teach Carol a thing or two about social media and the genuine importance, in their eyes, of having a popular following to be a successful superhero today. But in Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1, I appreciate the dynamic because it is explicitly not hostile like so much of the cross-generational internet shenanigans tend to be.Ĭarol simply wants to help Gwen, and the other teens, get into an Avengers leadership training program. I typically see them as unfunny or distasteful (sure, ‘Okay Boomer’ me). I’m not always here for the weird online backs and forth in these veins. And it comes at a perfect time in popular culture where the generation wars have indeed shifted from making fun of Boomers to making fun of Gen Xers and older Millennials. The comic is essentially a big Gen X/Millenial vs. The three were out trying to bolster their resume’s on social media so they would get called to do real superhero things in the future. Marvel, and Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl. Of course, when she thinks Gwen is in trouble at the hands of some off-brand Mysterio and Doc Oc look-alikes, it turns out just to be fellow teens Kamala Khan, aka Ms. But when she bumps into Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost-Spider, on the street while walking her not-so-cat Chewie, there’s nothing that can stop Carol from busting out the mohawk and laser hands. Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, has been ordered to take a day off from superheroics by her BFF Jessica Drew, aka Spider-Woman. The comic is published by IDW Publishing.
Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #1 is written by Sam Maggs with inks by Isabel Escalante, colors by Heather Breckel, and layouts by Mario del Pennino.
