I thought it was a great movie, although among the MCU movies I think Black Panther is better. I had a Mandela effect moment when I’m Just A Girl came on. Since the movie is set in 1995 and I remember the song as having come out in 1999 or 2000 I thought they had made a mistake. It turns out my memory was faulty and the song is from 1995 :smack:. ---

Thoroughly enjoyed it, though it was a bit … average. But average for a Marvel superhero movie is still very good. For a movie where the justification seems very much to be “We need an origin movie for Captain Marvel before the second Infinity War movie” the writing was decent, a bunch of stuff I didn’t see coming. The fakeout eye injury was a nice move, made the real one more of a surprise. ---

I just checked. Holy shit, it was toasted. Did I find something? I think I found something. ---

I don’t think the toast in the first scene was what Fury made his sandwich out of. It doesn’t look toasted to me. I’m not 100% sure he cuts it diagonally - the shape of the bread and the part that’s been eaten makes it difficult to tell for sure. It’s still a pretty good catch. ---

Looks to me like he broke the sandwich cross-wise, not diagonally. If he’s a Skrull, I don’t think that’s an indicator. ---
