'Captain Marvel' May Have Premiered Just 6 Weeks Before 'End Game,' But Marvel's Timing Is Always Perfect

After seeing "Captain Marvel" twice since its release, the film has grown on me. The naysayers do not like her for a couple of reasons: her "random, luck of the draw" power, perfections, and the story's release after 10 years of Marvel's productions. However, you can bring some perspective to this and say, Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, had a selfish rise to power by saving himself. He has this "perfect" suit, but technically no superhuman abilities, and his release was three years before Captain Americas!

When it comes to superhero films and production schematics, everyone has an opinion. It is the nature of the audience and passion for all the characters they grew to love. Marvel had a plan in this storyline all along. Marvel has sewn a fabric, which DC (sorry!), is still trying to develop for their bigger picture. So, back to the main question. Captain Marvel, too late or just in time?

Buzzfeed brings us a fun, dissecting analysis of a recent "full scene" from Endgame, where Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, explains her absence over the last 20 years. "There are a lot of other planets in the universe, and unfortunately, they didn't have you guys." Beyond this quotation, loop in a small thought as to how her absence proves a surprise factor for what Thanos may have in store for himself in this film. While Ronan witnessed a "powerful weapon" on Earth in Captain Marvel, Thanos never made the trek to Earth. He sent Loki to gauge "the enemy," and what he could be up against.

For all the devoted comic book readers out there, many of you probably disagree with me. My perspective does not drive from the original writings. My perspective and thought process derives from the films and faith in the Marvel creation to this very point in time.

Captain Marvel's timing is just right. Kevin Feige, the producer and President of Marvel Studios, provides us with two explanations for why Nick Fury waited until "Infinity War" to contact her. One, Fury likely considered all events up to this "Infinity War" as "non-emergency." Captain Marvel DID ask him to only contact her for emergencies. "Infinity War" is an event on an "unprecedented" level. Two, Feige goes a bit "Marvel political" on us, saying "…how do you know he never hit it? How do we know he never pushed [the pager] before? We've never seen him push it before. That doesn't mean he never did." I am going to pretend that part was never of any debate.

Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, comes to us at the pinnacle moment of the Marvel timeline. We have waited 10 years for the culmination of this storyline. Her timing is perfect because "we're in the end game now."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
