Hard hitting book
An uncharacteristically sombre and serious graphic novel. This book tells the demise of Captain Marvel as cancer ravages his body, despite the universe's scientists trying to find a solution. Very touching book at times, albeit with a dated narrative style and tone.

WOW I really love Courtney
As time progresses, so does Courtney. This album from the start to finish is something to marvel at. This is how you create an album. One of my favourite albums of all time and one of my favourite singers!

A satisfying sequel to Black Panther and a beautiful tribute to Chadwick Boseman.

Unfortunately, the pacing is awful and there are so many side plots that many great moments get drowned in mediocrity. Still better than a majority of what Marvel has been putting out.

Good but nothing special
I feel a little let down by Captain Marvel. It isn't a bad film but neither was it up to the standard of other Marvel films. And I'm not entirely sure why.

Something about this felt a bit meh and lacklustre, especially the first half hour or so. And even when Nick Fury comes in, it still feels like there's something missing at times. Brie Larson is good and I do quite like her, Samuel L Jackson is great as a less serious rookie Fury and the rest of the supporting cast too are good. Although there could have been a little more Jude Law. The star of the show is definitely Goose by far, and this film would've been a lot worse off without him in it. I think the major issue with me is it seemed to be lacking in humour. And when there was jokes and one liners, the majority of these fell flat. It seemed to be lacking a bit if the usual Marvel pizzazz. The soundtrack is pretty good though.

My only other criticism is the weak excuse that has been put forward to explain her absence in the rest of the Marvel universe so far. I've never read any back story or comics etc so I dont know if it's it ties in with them, but it was a little disappointing.

Initially, I thought the jokes falling flat may have been on purpose as part of her character... But now, after seeing it 2 more times, I'm thinking Larson just isn't funny (I don't like her at all).

I like BC as much as the next girl, so I can't rate this super low. BUT, it was a fairly standard super hero origin movie. Marvel has gotten grossly predictable, but they still make money. The visuals were absolutely beautiful, and the supporting cast was great.
