If anything, they've shown that they're great at putting the best possible people in place to succeed. So, I'm excited to see it.

I am a long time comic book nerd, and one of the first - perhaps the first - comic book I read was a team up with Spidey and Ms. Marvel (Spidey Super Stories #29). I am excited for this film. Not only are we getting Danvers but Mar-Vell, the Kree, the Skrulls, and more Fury and Ronan.

But the question I was responding to was why this film is getting so much hype and buzz when there hasn't been much revealed to warrant it. All the stuff I'm excited about means nothing to the average film goer or entertainment news outlets. A female lead gives the media an easy narrative hook to write their stories around. After similar narratives were used for Wonder Woman and Black Panther, reporters are trying to get in front of the film.
