Started as a question, ended as a fact.
On Hala, you were reborn, Vers.
My name is Carol.
I’m sending you with a message. Tell the Supreme Intelligence that I’m coming to end it. The war, the lies, all of it.
REMEMBER WHEN FURY SAW THAT CAROL’S CALL SIGN WAS AVENGER AND BACKSPACED ON THAT 90S DESKTOP TO RETYPE THE AVENGERS INITIATIVE AND THAT SILVESTRI SCORE KICKED IN
captain marvel is a reflection of the female experience. having a mentor telling you that you are only there because he allows it, that you have to control your emotions and that “what is giving can be taken away” is a female experience. seeing Carol setting herself free from that man and discovering that not only he was lying, but that he was restraining her because he knew that she was stronger than him is so fucking powerful to women because we can relate to it on a deep level
so I don’t give a shit if men can’t relate to captain marvel. this movie isn’t for you.

You are Carol Danvers. You were the woman on that black box risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend. Who supported me as a mother and a pilot when no one else did. You were smart, and funny, and a huge pain in the ass. And you were the most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire through your fists.

Carol standing over the man who spent the past 6 years lying to her and diminishing her power and telling him that she doesn’t have to prove anything to him? Iconic. The stuff of legends. Added 5 years to my lifespan
