Maybe spoilers in this entry though I’m going to be honest I only see 1 of 4 readers of the four that read me consistently actually watching the movie (here’s looking you Woman who loves love) , Then again I imagine she’d be just as happy not seeing it so who knows. For the random reader.... I don’t know that you will care.

So.... I don’t even feel like talking about the story line.... but if you’ve been kinda following along the last 10 years it will very likely make you cry. If only for the knowledge that it’s Stan Lee’s last cameo.

I want to write this our because something I saw and noticed immediately has me a tad outraged. It brought feminism to my movie where I didn’t care for it one bit. There is a grand battle, Captain Marvel shows up and when taking on a significant force Peter Parker says something along the lines of “Think you’ll make it through that?” and other characters start showing up out of thin air doing little time portal jumps to that location or by using their unique power. That is of no issue. The thing is that Peter Parker in a kid at this time (17, 18 ish) and male, Captain Marvel as portrayed in her own movie is a strong woman. She is about to embark on something Peter was unable to do and she has back up. Again not the entire issue. The issue is that even though every marvel character from the 21 movies over the last 10 years is on this battlefield. So is there a way to explain why ever character that comes to her aid is FEMALE?

Sometimes I get it. Girls can do it too, girls can do it better, here are examples of strong females you have to look up to BUT dammit it there weren’t just as many men on the field yet none of them came to her aid? That would not have happened being as she was holding the one thing they were keeping from the bad guy. Strong female doing what a boy can’t? Why? why they play it like that? That’s not feminism that’s sexist.

That is all.
