look I have nothing against Brie Larson as a person or an actor but her casting feels like an undeniable result of the cultural fixation with Women Under Thirty

okay so I fired this off on my phone just as a thought but let me elaborate on this a little:

Carol Danvers is a Colonel in the US Air Force.

Even if we accept that Carol was promoted at younger age than most, that kind of promotion doesn’t come lightly. According to military-ranks.org (a website that I have no reason to question):

By law, colonels must have twenty-two years of service and a minimum of three years of service as a lieutenant colonel. Most colonels spend three years as a lieutenant colonel before being promoted.

I think it’s pretty widely established that Carol joined the Air Force as soon as she was 18, which would place her squarely at age 40 after the minimum 22 year service, assuming she got promoted as soon as she was eligible.

What I’m getting at here is that, unless the Marvel Cinematic Universe is stripping Carol of her illustrious military history, there’s no damn reason for her to played by a 26 year old. At all.

… Unless they think a woman in her forties has no business being a superhero, in which case I’d like to direct your attention to Jeremy Renner (cast as Hawkeye at 40), Ben Affleck (Batman at 43), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man since age 44), and Paul Rudd (debuting as Ant-Man at forty-fucking-six).

Listen to me. Listen. Women over forty are badasses. ¾ of the new Ghostbusters cast are women in their 40′s. Ming-Na Wen is kicking asses and taking names all over Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at 52. Those old ladies from Mad Max: Fury Road - including Megan Jaffer, who’s 78 - did their own fucking stunts. 

There Is No Expiration On Women Being Awesome.

   ❝ If I didn’t say that han shot first I don’t think you’d be dating me…of course we can agree on that. c’mon, captain you know me better than that. ❞

a hum leaves her, somewhat amused at the little “debate”. still she drapes an arm over peter’s shoulder and leans in for a quick kiss.

              ❝ alright spidey, just checking. ❞

webheadedhero:

   ❝ puh-lease. Luke had what? three months of training and he was able to hold his own against Vader and then only six months later he was able to mop the floor with him! Vader spent most of his life studying the force and swordsmanship and Luke was at least as good as him in just under a year. come on, this is a no-brainer! ❞

❝ bu-- i mean--                --ohmigod. F I N E. can we at least agree that han shot first? ❞

[webheadedher-a]

   ❝ yeah, and guess who beat Darth Vader? Luke! I mean come one, Vader was almost as powerful as the emperor and Luke beat the heck outta him! Plus Luke studied from Obi-Wan so he’d know how to beat him. I’m a scientist, I know these things you know. ❞

[captwhiizbang]

❝ don’t. it was vader’s will that ultimately lead to luke overcoming him. also it was vader who threw palpatine, or darth sidious,over that ledge. so technically it was with the combined attacks by both luke and sidious that caused the most physical damage. your sience is flawed. i am a star wars guru. so there. ❞

[captwhiizbang]

webheadedhero:

   ❝ no? you can’t be seriously, carol. Luke would kick Obi-Wan’s butt, come on!  ❞

❝ i-- i can’t believe i’m having this conversation... obi-wan TRAINED luke’s father. y’know anakin-- DARTH VADER. i mean he’s like the ultimate of jedis other than yoda, who is practically the godfather! ... just -- no. ❞

profanemouth.

she plucks her shades from their hover on the searing bridge of her nose.  nicotine stings her veins, the stale whiff of a last cigarette following her in from outside, clinging to the material of her leather jacket to mingle in with her heavy whiskey perfume.  jessica jones is a three-ingredient recipe:  bourbon, a bend, dog-eared, foxed carton of marlboros…  &  the remaining piece?  

❛               you’d better save me at least one god damn cup, danvers.  ❜   she slings one leg up, slumps into the seat with dagger elbows leaning into the counter top in front of her.  jessica squints against the throb of her late night hangover.  just part of the fucking job.   ❛   why is it that cheating assholes do most of their philandering after two in the morning?  ❜

   ❝ cause it’s not sneaky enough when they do it at two in the afternoon? ❞

carol shrugs a shoulder and head follows in a lean to watch as the machine s l o w l y pours out that dark liquid gold. a small groan passes clenched teeth. minutes seemed like hours in waiting on the filter to drip the rest of the coffee. and then she was so steady. meticulous even in taking the carafe away. carol wasn’t willing to let a single drop fall onto the burner. 

❝ and please, i’m not that mean. want me to just make you a full pot? ... maybe even set up an i.v drip for you? ❞ she softly snorts at her own quip, still she’s generous in dividing between two thermal containers; three cups for the both of them.  carol slides it over to jess and perks a brow over the expression on her face. when is it ever not a long night her?  ❝ no cream or sugar, i take it?  ❞

person: but it’s canon

me: yes, but it’s very badly written, so we ignore it
