Marvel Movies: Captain Marvel

Since my family's phone plan includes Disney+ for a year, I now have access to all sorts of good movies! My husband and I are making our way through all of the Marvel Movies! There are two logical ways to watch them: order of the release date or chronologically. We have chosen chronologically. Last Friday we watched Captain America and just tonight we watched Captain Marvel! 

I really enjoyed watching both of these, but since I watched Captain Marvel today, I will write about that one! 

My husband informed me that in the original comic books Captain Marvel was a man and that when the movie was made and Captain Marvel was a female, there was a lot of negative reactions. In a way I can understand why... If they expected it to be one way, and was not... That could cause some distress... However, I really loved watching a female lead in this movie. I feel like because I am a female I might be more interested in watching the show because it is more relatable. However, I do see how this could through the social learning theory could make women more aggressive. 

There was a sweet message in the movie. When The Commander of "The Cree" sees that Captain Marvel received the powers that he was after, he takes her and takes away all of her memories so he can then make her believe she is one of "The Cree" who is after "The Skrulls." One of "The Skrulls" is able to help Captain Marvel to realize who she is and then she has to fight against and talk back to powers of "The Cree" in order to gain her memories back and to have her powers as her own and not under the influence of "The Cree". 

I compared this to being children of God here on this earth. Satan is doing everything to make us "forget" our true identity. We have bodies and he does not. This is similar to Captain Marvel having powers that The Commander of The Cree does not. Satan hopes to make us forget our true identity so he can control us into doing his satanic purposes... If we do end up on the wrong side, it may take a true disciple of Christ to bring us back, just like it took one of "The Skrulls" to help Captain Marvel realize her true self and purpose.
