While this was the last solo movie released before the final Avengers movie, it is set way back towards the beginning of the Marvel timeline. So while it may not be a big deal when you see certain people if you watch the movies in order of timeline, it was a HUGE deal when watching them in cinematic release. For example, Coulson makes an appearance in this story and I swear it was like he was resurrected from the dead.
In a lot of ways Vers reminds me of RDJ in Iron Man (may explain why I like this character so much). She is confident, sarcastic, quick-witted, but while many be put off by their arrogance, they would do anything to help someone else. She stands up for what she believes is right and never takes anything at face value.
The Kree make their first appearance (but it’s their last appearance in theatrical release). You hear about them from Guardians, which we will go over later. We already know that we can’t trust the Kree so it’s hard to believe that Captain Marvel would be one of them. No need to worry. She is not. She is a human that became superhuman after she injected some alien stuff when she followed her idol on a dangerous mission. It’s here where we find out that Yon-Rogg is the one that is betraying her.
The reason why I think that this movie stands out against the other Marvel films is that a. it does have a pretty kick-ass female lead and that is always a plus b. it’s a great superhero movie because it shows a deep origin story and gives you something to root for. You can relate to Captain Marvel and her struggle to never give up, no matter what anyone says. A great role model for young people to have.
