Definitely top 3 “most fun” MCU movie for me (along with Ragnarok and GOTG 1.) Loved Carol’s humor and how it seemed more good natured than the usual Iron Man snark. Her buddy-cop dynamic with Fury was excellent, and I adored when she finally leveled up her powers at the end and just wrecked everything.

Now I want a buddy movie with her and Thor looking for a home for the Asgardians. Carol already has experience looking for a home planet, and Thor’s just a total bro who would work well with her.

From an out of universe perspective, it was awesome that pretty much the entire movie was about a woman and a black man and that the main supporting character was a black woman. Also, ZERO forced romance. I was expecting there to be some between Carol and Jude Law’s character, but nope! pleasant surprise.

One small note, isn’t Wanda the most powerful character in the MCU? She and Carol both got their powers from infinity stones and Wanda’s reality warping powers would trump Carol’s plasma shooting or whatever.
