Brie Larson is 26. Captain Marvel is currently a Colonel. She was a Major when she got her powers. The Air Intelligence info suggests the average age for a major would be 39.
You know who else is 39? Both Chadwick Boseman and Benedict Cumberbatch who are the next two new Marvel superheroes to get their own movies.
So why is it different for a lady character, @Marvel? I don’t mean to slam Brie Larson. I think she’s a great actress and is incredibly sweet to boot. But Wanda was referred to as “just a kid” in CACW and this would make Carol younger than her.
“Ghostbusters (2016) is not for this guy. He already has 2 great movies, a theme song, multiple toys, comics and props and 173 episodes of a hit cartoon show.
Ghostbusters (2016) is for this awesome little lady. She needs heroes too.”
I like how when there is a character who doesn’t mention being gay at all, but is declared gay by the writer, people act like that is a “realistic portrayal” of gay people because they aren’t “all about” being gay.
Like, have you met gay people? We talk about being gay all the time if we are out and it is safe to do so. Realistic my ass, Dumbledore would be asking McGonagall if he was too old to be considered a “bear” or if his huge beard made the difference, but ok.
My annoyance with every token lgbtqia character ever is that they are always surrounded by straight people … like they don’t know one other fucking queer person? Shit, I’m queer as fuck and I can’t think of one straight person I’m not related to that I hang out with on anything like a regular basis. The only people I consistently make plans and time for is other lgbtqia folks.
You wanna talk about unbelievability? It’s that one lone queer person is totally cool and chill hanging out with only straight people and isn’t constantly rolling their eyes or correcting their shit.
Lbr it doesn’t matter which side you think was morally or logically in the right, you’re all gonna side with the character you happen to be biased towards, if these characters switched mentalities, then you’d still be on the side of the character you like best, it is ultimately a futile discussion because we are all wrong, we are all so wrong and young and foolish.
Except me. I’m right and everything Steve Rogers has done in his entire life since birth has been correct and righteous.
Welp, work is kicking my ass, hence the lack of updates. But I really wanted to do something for Civil War!

We’ve got your Death Star plans right here, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to realize just how much the plot of your favorite movie hinges on the actions of one woman (accompanied by a team full of dudes anyway). I guess it’s kind of like realizing that the name of your men’s rights movement is wholesale stolen from a movie written by two trans women. Oh, the irony. But I digress.
You see, we’ve got more than just your Death Star plans. What we have is this realization that these worlds—these rich, fantastic fantasy/sci-fi/everything worlds—don’t just belong to you anymore. They never really only belonged to you. They belonged to all of us, and always have, despite how hard you’ve tried to erase us from the narrative.
Many fandoms, mostly Doctor Who, Black Widow, Captain Marvel. Cats. Random funny things with the occasional Important Issue. Ya know, your basic tumblr. Working on tagging things properly. If I mess up, please tell me!
