Captain Marvel

-

Last week, I had watched Marvel Cinematic Universe's(MCU) latest movie, Captain Marvel. It is Marvel Studio's first female superhero led film; Captain Marvel is touted to be one of the prominent characters in Avengers: Endgame, the sequel of Avengers Infinity War.

Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, the main story arc is set in the 1990's and concerns Carol Danvers(Brie Larson), a U.S air force pilot who becomes a Kree, an extraterrestrial species, after absorbing the power of the Tesserect. She is part of an intergalactic war with the Skrulls(another alien species), when she finds out that she is fighting for the wrong side. Along with the help of
 Nick Fury(Samuel.L.Jackson) and her best friend Maria Rambeau(Lashana Lynch), she defeats the Kree and helps the Skrull find a new home.

At the end of the movie, Captain Marvel gives Nick Fury a pager(a contact device) which can be used to contact her for emergencies. It is this pager that Nick Fury uses twenty five years later to contact her to save Earth from Thanos. The mid credits scene portrays the Avengers at their headquarters discussing about the pager when Captain Marvel suddenly turns up and says, "Where is Fury?"

Though the first quarter of the movie is vague and boring, the second half picks on speed and left me mesmerized at the end. Here are few reasons why I enjoyed the movie:

1. It is set in the retro 1990's - The 90's is an interesting prospect which Marvel Studios haven't explored before. We have seen them portray characters in the present and they have gone back into the 1940's with Captain America; but the 90's was an interesting pick as it is a blend of the olden times and the modern. The directors have portrayed the time-period with such ease that it made me marvel 😎 about it.

2. Superficial Acting - Prior to the movie's release, there were many speculations about Brie Larson not fit to play the role of Captain Marvel, but boy! Did she prove them wrong!! It was an amazing acting performance by her and Samuel Jackson. This was really important as they needed the audience to like it after the slow start. It enhanced the movie by all means and made it awesome.

3. The Never-Say-Die Attitude - This is one thing which the movie keeps re-enforcing. There were many times where Captain Marvel to surrender but she continued fighting. This brings a good moral along with the movie.

My favourite character is Nick Fury. Played amazingly by Samuel L Jackson, he is the funniest and boldest character in the movie. Through his sheer intelligence and bravery, he defeated most of his enemies.

Captain Marvel is one of the funniest Marvel movies. There is a joke almost every now and then and after the movie, my belly was aching after laughing so much.

If you are looking for a movie with hilarious scenes and intergalactic space battles, then Captain Marvel would be your best choice.

    I have been an admirer of Samuel Jackson's acting. Looks like he has performed well in this movie as well.

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it.

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
