Captain Marvel is a woman, and what for. Anywhere where the super heroine of the latest movie from the Comic book Franchise Marvel’s appearance, spraying spark, shoot flame, and fly, people like missiles through the air.
The story of the new blockbuster from the Marvel universe is quickly told: The earth races by the struggle of two Alien, the Kree and the Skrull, threatened. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), alias Captain Marvel, then, not to save only the earth, but also the conflict between the Kree and Skrull simple. “I don’t know where my strength comes from,” puzzled Danvers, which does not need a weapon, because it is itself a weapon.
You can fly, cosmic radiation and thus energy. As an air weapons-hunting pilot, which is formed as a member of the alien Kree warrior, lands you right in the middle of an intergalactic war with the Skrulls. To fulfill its Mission, cooperates with Agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) – an already well-known Marvel character, and with your four – legged sidekick “Goose the Cat”.
Turning point in the superhero movie?

In the spring of 2018, Black Panther came out in theaters, the first Marvel movie with a black protagonist and the first Film of the Studio, in which not a white, muscular man in the centre. The Film is now the turn of an Epoch, because the heroes and enemies are almost all black. Super hero movies, the shows on the example of the “Black Panther”, have a formative role in society. They can cause debates and even influence.
Strong women as identity figures
Will marvel’s first stand-alone super heroine for young female viewers the same experience as Black Panther in 2018 for the black population? Behaviour can be an actor-existence as a model for real? “I was able to develop myself further than I ever thought possible,” said Brie Larson at the Premiere of the film on Monday evening (04.03.2019) in Los Angeles.
Larson, which was awarded in 2016 for her role in “Room” with an Oscar, is so far mainly through their work and roles in independent film productions and for her feminist commitment known.

#MeToo requires female strong roles in blockbusters
Of the few super hero movies that have been filmed with a female main character, ended many Flops. Examples are: Jennifer Garner’s “Elektra” (2005), and Halle Berry’s “Catwoman” (2004). Probably why Marvel tried for more than a decade to hide his female characters in supporting roles, such as Avengers member the Black Widow, which was played starting in 2012, Scarlett Johansson.
Looking for a new female lead, and as a response to the #MeToo movement, the Disney subsidiary, Marvel decided to bring in stronger female characters in front of the camera. But also, the Soundtrack makes for higher female presence on the cinema screen: It comes from “Garbage”, “Hole” and “No Doubt” Bands, which are mostly occupied by musicians.
Network campaigns against women in the Film
A day after the Premiere in Hollywood, the critics are mostly agreed that it is in “Captain Marvel” to a successful movie. On the US-American Criticism site “Rotten Tomatoes” gave more than 80 percent of the reviewers positive reviews.
Jude Law at the side of Brie Larson in “Captain Marvel”
That films with women in a leading role get good reviews, but is rather the exception. Often enough it comes to “Review-Bombings”, the mass anger-reviews, the work of the female cast.

Also Blockbuster, such as the Remake of “Ghostbusters” in the year 2016 or the Film “Ocean’s 8” were victims of such “Review-Bombings”.
This should now be final. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 25. February 2019 introduced, that reviews can only be made after the official movie start posted. Also, the comment function is only enabled after the Start of the film.
With its decision, “Rotten Tomatoes has moved” even a Shitstorm. On the video platform Youtube posted User thousands of hate comments, in which they proclaim the “Rotten Tomatoes”-operators, Brie Larson.
The actress of the main character, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel was already covered after the release of the cinema trailer with absurd comments. There were no complaints, they “smile” enough.
