Oh, yeah, there was a whole thing about a bet between a writer and an illustrator, too.
The real reason Captain Marvel’s costume doesn’t look like those of female superheroes of yore is a mix between her convoluted backstory, how illustrations of female comic book characters have evolved, and the character rights that Marvel happened to have at the time of the film’s greenlighting. The reason is more complicated than what many angry Marvel fans, who have waged anti- Captain Marvel campaigns on YouTube and Rotten Tomatoes, might assume: that Marvel and Larson have conspired to make the film an empty shill for woke progressivism. There are no cartoonish boob shields either, and unlike many female superheroes, Captain Marvel doesn’t always wear her hair down (one of her suits includes a helmet in which her hair sticks out like a mohawk it’s very rad). In fact, they look a little bit like something Chris Evans might wear as that other Avengers captain: form-fitting yet thick, with military-inspired armor around the arms, hips, chest, and abs. Notably, the super suits worn by Larson in Captain Marvel are not nearly as titillating. We know the sleek, sexy catsuits of Black Widow, Storm, and Catwoman we’ve got Wonder Woman’s strapless breastplate and miniskirt and then there’s the X-Men’s Mystique, who for a large percentage of time wears nothing but body paint. This is obviously a rather melodramatic take, but if the future of female superheroes is riding on the success of Captain Marvel, then it’ll look pretty different from those of the past, at least when it comes to the clothes.
#CAPITAN MARVEL SHAZAM MOVIE#
In a profile on its star, Brie Larson, the Hollywood Reporter described it as “the movie that definitely will not determine the entire fate of women forever and ever. Not only is it the last film released before the events of Avengers: Endgame (a movie that acts as, if not a period, then at least a very climactic comma within the MCU), but in the 20 films that encompass the franchise, Captain Marvel is the first to feature a solo female superhero. In the post-Flashpoint reality, Freddy Freeman is actually Billy Batson's foster brother, and goes by the name Shazam Jr., as part of a larger, extended Shazam family.Captain Marvel, the latest dispatch from the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe, was made to seem like it had the entire franchise riding on its shoulders. Freddy served faithfully at the side of his mentor and his sister Mary for many years, and for a time he even replaced Billy Batson when he became the new Wizard at the Rock of Eternity. Sadly, while in mortal form, Freddy would also remain crippled from the injuries sustained from being caught in the crossfire of the battle. has all the same powers as the original Captain Marvel, but unlike Billy Batson, he remains his youthful self and doesn't transform into an adult when saying the magic words. Now, whenever Freddy says the name of his idol Shazam out loud, he transforms into a superhero himself named Captain Marvel Jr.Ĭaptain Marvel Jr. When ordinary medical care could not save his life, Billy Batson shared a portion of his powers with Freddy in an effort to heal him. Among his most trusted and close lieutenants was Freddy Freeman, a young man was became seriously injured during a battle between Captain Marvel and the evil Captain Nazi. The superhero formerly known as Captain Marvel (now known as Shazam) was able to share his powers with many people, forming a family of fellow heroes. Captain Marvel Jr.-also known as Shazam Jr.-is powered by the same magic that flows through his best friend Billy Batson, better known as Shazam!
