If You Are Hesitant Here Are 5 Reasons You Should Go See 'Captain Marvel'

In This Article:

Greetings Marvel Cinematic Universe fans! As we all know, "Captain Marvel" was released on March 8th. While we are all counting down the days to "Avengers: End Game" on April 26th, this movie is still definitely worth seeing. At first, I was not impressed by the concept of the movie. I was upset about "Infinity War," and to me, she just looked like a combination of Captain America and Iron Man. The first trailer didn't really intrigue me either. Then, I decided to see it anyway, and I am so glad I did! Trust me when I say it is totally worth going to see, and here are my top five reasons why:

1. Captain Marvel is a great character

Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, is actually a pretty likable character. Strong, relatable, and funny, she has a pretty solid character arc and is a solid female superhero role model for young ladies. I know who I want to be next Halloween.

2. It’s a blend of humor, heart, and action.

A big (and totally valid) complaint about a lot of superhero movies is that there's too much action, too much heart, or too much humor. Take Thor: The Dark World for example. It's very dark and depressing, and no one really liked it. Then in Thor: Ragnarok, they went the opposite route and made it as funny as possible. Avengers: Infinity War was extremely emotional. Captain Marvel was a nice blend of all three. There are emotions, there's humor, and there's definitely plenty of action.

3. Origin story

Every superhero needs a good origin story, and Captain Marvel has one. In addition to her story, we get even more background on how the Avengers team began, and how Nick Fury used to be when he had two eyes.

4. Nostalgia

Many of us were born in or grew up in the '90s, and this movie takes place in 1995! There's a Blockbuster and everything. If you enjoy older-feeling movies and feeling like you're back in the past, this is a great movie for you. It's also remarkable to reflect on how much technology has changed over the past couple of decades.

5. There’s a Twist

Ah yes, the twist. Many good movies have one (or more), and while I'm obviously not going to tell you what it is, this one has at least one too. It fooled and confused me at first, that's for sure. If you enjoy being on your toes and analyzing characters, this movie is definitely a fun movie to see.

Bonus: SPOILER ALERTIf you do not want potential spoilers, do not read this next paragraph!

Ok, in addition to the above five reasons, a lot of questions are answered in "Captain Marvel." We learn how Nick Fury lost his eye. We learn how the "Avengers Initiative" was named. We learn who Captain Marvel is and where she's been this whole time. We also find out more about the Tesseract (Blue Infinity stone). We also meet a new alien species, the Skrull, and learn more about one we already knew, the Kree.

SPOILER ALERT LIFTED

Well, there you have it! The top 5 reasons to go see "Captain Marvel." There are two post credit scenes, and I hope you enjoy it! Feel free to leave me comments if you agree with my reasons, and if you think I should have added anything else.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
