Here’s the thing. This picture is important. No, it’s not just Brie Larson’s rippling back muscles on full display. Or the dramatic, dare we say heroic sweep of her gown. Or even the three-story tall Captain Marvel stance emblazoned in front of her. It’s the combination of all three, plus the context that makes this photo important. This is the kind of photo that will make young girls, and older girls and women of any age, feel super. The pantheon of superheroes is for everyone, after all. And it’s high time more people felt represented in the in the fantasy of having super strength, super speed, super bravery and super heroics. More women, more people of color, more underrepresented groups. In this world of make believe, we should all feel included. We should all be heroes. Happy heroic weekend, all.

And don't forget Captain Marvel is also about how women can be techies, and like the sort of things that techies like. So yeah, my idea of "high fashion" is the latest gadget, and I couldn't care less about the clothes someone's wearing... just the same as most techies. And it isn't just possible to be female and techie at the same time, it's also possible to be of any color, while female and techie. Captain Marvel rocks, but her friend rocks even more.
I am so excited for this generation that will grow up having this movie and Wonder Woman. I wish we had that but oh well. Go get them Gen Z!
Gonna watch it today. Looking forward to it.
Have a great weekend DS!
