* We’re getting Spectrum/Pulsar/WhateverMonica’sCallingHerselfThisWeek in Phase 4. We have to be. You don’t do what they did to set her up like that without doing it. And I am here for it.
* Also for Maria, who was the heart of this movie. She should come back, too.
* I was so happy to see Kelly Sue DeConnick make a cameo (she’s the magenta-headed lady who gives Vers a look in the LA subway near the beginning) because she’s as important to this movie’s existence as Ed Brubaker was to Captain America: the Winter Soldier and he got a cameo for it there.
* The opening credit tribute to Stan Lee was lovely.
* Brie Larson was really, really good. I was not sold on her casting, even after they said the movie was taking place in the 1990s, but she was fabulous.
* This movie was built on banter and I loved all of it.
* Thank christmas there was no love interest. There was a lot of love in this movie, more than usual for an MCU movie, but it was all of the good kinds that don’t involve eros. Love in this movie deserves a more thorough treatment because it drives everything that happens.
* OMG, Goose.
* I am exactly the right age to desperately want the soundtrack. And to laugh at the aliens being gob-smacked at our computers.
* Annette Bening being Mar-Vell was awesome and terrific. Both for the adaptation of the comics character and for giving Bening a juicy role in a comic book movie. I am all in on giving older actresses meaty roles in these movies because they are still beautiful and still great at what they do and can still work in action blockbusters.
* The Skrulls not being the bad guys was also awesome and terrific. They were great. Turning the Kree into Space HYDRA with Carol as their Bucky is a nice flip of the script.
* There’s more to be said about Carol and Bucky, but I’m still digesting.
