'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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
