“The ‘world outside our window’ — both in the MCU and beyond — has changed a lot since Captain Marvel first soared into theaters and grossed over $1 billion in 2019.

It doesn’t have to redefine the entire genre, or represent all of womanhood in less than two hours, or be a perfect segue into the next male-dominated event movie. The movie can just be, in all of the high-octane, silly, sweet, and imperfect glory that that entails. The fact that we’ve reached that point — and that the MCU still has the ability to effectively tell such a story — is a marvel in and of itself.”
