If you look in the dark to Carol's right, you'll see a cat exiting the frame. Nice nod to the comics.

Also, I love the MCU's continuing tradition of using a ball cap like Clark Kent uses his glasses.

Can you provide a key for that image? I don't recognize any of those people.

Probably the people who understand there are plenty of other movies that have female action heroes, and OP sounds like this is the first chance his daughter has to watch a movie she can relate to?

"Grrl powah!" is fine as long as it makes sense to the story. See: Terminator, Alien/Aliens, etc.

Not saying that isn't the case for Captain Marvel. We'll just have to see how it turns out.

Captain Marvel has had a cat since the mid '00s. Chewie, named after the Star Wars character, has been a bit of a cult favorite. Recently, it was revealed that Chewis is not a cat, but is actually an interdimensional alien known as a Flerken. But that was more of a joke they are now stuck with in canon.

Laughed out loud at this. Best response I’ve seen in a while on this board.

And yeah I watched it and thought it was Green Lantern 2 with all of those alien looking characters.

Captain Marvel's cat (Chewie) is recurring character in her comics.

I love that they made a joke about that in Ant-Man and the Wasp


As for the trailer itself, I have no complaints

While we're posting panel from the comics, we can't leave out this one:

It’s fricking Captain Marvel and in several versions for almost 40 years has been female. And is typically touted as one of the more powerful Avengers.

Can we just have our Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, please? It really shouldn’t be too much to ask to not cry about girl power over those.

In the comics they slowly started to draw her to increasingly look like a man or butch lesbian.
