Another one bites the dust. It was nice to see all the gang back together again, battling the forces of Snake Mountain, protecting the Sorceress and Castle Grayskull. The animation was pretty and many lesser known characters showed up. I was filled with hope and nostalgia. I almost expected to see a wholesome PSA at the end telling me about using the internet responsibly or to brush my teeth. Then they slowly killed the characters one by one in front of me. Some literally, beloved heroes and villains alike, dead. Others figuratively, twisting and distorting them until you can't recognize them anymore. It felt like a horror movie based on a home invasion and the invader was an old trusted friend. What was left was a hollow husk with a familiar logo outside. An empty box of Mr. T Cereal. I watched part of my childhood being carried off, frozen in carbonite. Maybe it will be thawed out and rescued in part 2. Slowly waiting on vision to be restored.

Captain Marvel was a fun entertaining movie, which is exactly what a superhero movie should be. Don't let the political rantings of the internet influence your decision to watch it. Just go and have a good time.
