I am certainly part of the masses, but the masses has a will of its own and I am as uncertain where it's heading as anybody else.  I suppose I am looking for clues as to where things are heading.

Ok.  So the super ladies' acceptance as a bellweather for regular ladies' acceptance.

That's cute!   "Baywatch" provided a similarly formative experience for a girl I used to know. She even bought a red one-piece bathing suit for me to model for her.

The Marvel Comics Captain Marvel is not the Captain Marvel you remember ("Shazam!") who was I think a DC Comics character. 

That's disappointing.  I don't like superpeople movies but I *might* have gone to see the DC guy say 'Shazam'.

She has a new costume that doesn't look like swimwear now, and has become a "Captain" rather than a Ms.   ...perhaps she got drafted, I really don't know.

There were 3 Cpt. Marvel superheroes: The Captain, Captain Marvel Jr. which was not his son as that would complicate things I guess, and Mary Marvel.  :D



I remember having a crush on her, although she seems to wear flats and be marginally brunette.  Ok.

These people, along with an old codger named Captain Marvel Sr. I think (he was a faker, with no super powers but everybody knew and let him get away with it... comic relief) formed the Marvel 'family'...

I think there is a market for new and different stories, but there also seems to be a backlash from people who are annoyed that they aren't the center of attention.   There was some amount of grumbling from curmudgeons about the new Star Wars franchise being centered around a female character and about the prominent feminist presence in Mad Max: Fury Road, for example.

Must go; will post more later.

These people, like you, are considered about the morality of others... busybodies... I am one...
