I think it goes without saying that Captain Marvel is an important milestone. It's not the first movie featuring a female superhero, but it's the first out of the gate out of the behemoth Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Honestly, I try to tune out the buzz around this movie, something that's getting increasingly difficult in …
