Celebrate the first Marvel heroine in the MCU: Captain Marvel.

Published

on

Marvel had a variety of characters to choose from their catalog of female superheroes to introduce into their universe.

Following the strong roles and ideals of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America comes Carol Danvers, better known to us as Captain Marvel. DC had already introduced its main female heroine, Wonder Woman with glowing results and now it was Marvel’s time to shine.

The creation of this character is a wonderful addition. Marvel’s intention for Captain Marvel was to become one of the new pillars of the MCU Phase 4. In this origin story, we are introduced to Vers, a fierce warrior, faced with some very real issues. A warrior with a heart. Her emotion is what her superior tells her, is what keeps her from reaching her full potential. It is the classic struggle of the self vs society and in this case, struggling to fall in line with the and still dealing with a past that will define her future later in the movie. Carol seeks to find her own identity and just doesn’t realize it yet.

As we move further in the story, an event occurs where Vers is captured by the Skrull; a race of doppelgangers who are in a constant battle with the Kree empire. Vers is being interrogated for some information and in doing so, they release some deep-rooted memories of her past that she wasn’t able to recall before.

The film takes the audiences on a third person perspective with Carol in discovering her past and true identity. Her journey takes her to Earth where she is pursuing the Skrulls to find out what they know about a specific technology and prevent it from falling into their hands.

This is also the point where we are introduced to two familiar faces; Nick Fury and Phil Coulson. Phil is just a brand new agent and Fury is his senior partner.  This was before the solidification of S.H.I.E.L.D and its Avengers initiative.

Through the playful interation of Fury and Vers, we discover more about their backgrounds. They both were soldiers and had the same self doubt and identity issues that everyone goes through. It’s nice to see Samuel Jackson in a more playful role, a definite welcome change from the constant “angry man” syndrome.

The film will bring you back to the late eighties early ninetys where we were still using AOL and connecting to the internet sounded like a poor robot was being ground to death by horrible razor blades.  As usual, music choices were impeccable bringing you back to the era of bands like Garbage, No Doubt and more.

You also won’t want to miss the extra features one of which I thought was particularly important.

The DVD/Blue Ray release has some great features including

Gag Reel

Deleted Scenes (one of which shouldn’t have been deleted that would have enhanced the story)

Background story of the main attraction  GOOSE!

Origin stories of Nick Fury, the Skrulls, and the Kree

It’s a good film and a great start to bringing out the female heroines in the MCU. Captain Marvel is fierce and independent woman who is up to the challenge of whatever her new journey takes her.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
