'Captain Marvel' Will Be The Most Important Movie In Marvel Her-story

Last week there was a lot of activity in the Marvel Universe. The "Captain Marvel" teaser poster released along with new official photos and even the teaser trailer. Needless to say, it was beyond exciting and gave us a shred of hope after the devastation of "Infinity War." This movie is going to be huge for many reasons, the obvious being it's the first female lead in Marvel cinematic history. On top of being a female superhero, Carol Danvers, which is Captian Marvel's alter ego, is also a female Air Force officer.

But, of course with female empowerment come internet trolls.

Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers, played by Brie Larson, has received numerous comments about how she isn't smiling in any of the shots released from the movie. To all my ladies out there we've all been there when some stranger at the grocery store comes up to you with a skeevy line telling you that you would look "prettier" if you smiled. No, leave me alone with my RBF. Anyways, Larson's clap back was the best response ever, she took images of male Marvel characters (so all of them) and photoshopped smiles onto their stern faces making them look creepy while trying to fight off aliens. Point: Larson.

My millennials will also love this part. The whole movie is set in the '90s. In the trailer you catch Captain Marvel falling from the skies and makes a crash landing right in a Blockbuster. Of course, being set in the '90s, Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson, is several years younger in the storyline and the computer-generated imagery (or CGI for short) looks unbelievable. Bring on the '90s nostalgia and iconic fashions!

Captain Marvel will be the strong woman we never knew we needed in our lives and we only have to wait six more months to see it. I could continue on and on going into detail about how I'm already obsessed with "Captain Marvel" and we haven't even gotten a full trailer yet but I'll step down off my soapbox. But, before I do everyone needs to go see this movie when it releases on March 8th, 2019 to make it the best box office weekend Marvel has to date. Maybe then we will get the female lead superhero movies we deserve.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
