Captains Marvel

I was warned that the Captain Marvel film was feminist propaganda but it's not. I was also told that Brie Larson said that she was not making the film for 40-year old white men (or something) but this is ok if she meant not only for 40-year old white men.

It is a quadruple origin story:

CM;
Nick Fury as we know him;
the idea of, and name for, the Avengers;
the Tesseract.

SHIELD already exists with Agent Fury still with two eyes.

Are the Skrulls and the Chitauri two different species in the movieverse?

Also shown was the Shazam trailer although I missed the beginning of it. The original CM keeps failing to say his name. Is the boy who is criticizing him Billy Batson, i.e., have they split?, or someone else?

Marvel Comics had a male Captain Marvel and a Ms. Marvel who became the Captain. In the film, CM is female from the start.

Captain Marvel has two credits scenes. CM will return in the next Avengers film.

Onward, Earthlings! And every other kind of beings!
