This isn't a question of what I'm not. It's a question of who I could be.

Hi, friends! It's been a while. I haven't been doing much other than waiting for Friday nights so that I can watch Z Nation and so that it's the end of the week (which means Doctor Who!!!!!). And I've been watching a lot of Supernatural because every time I walk out of my Book of Mormon class, I've got Supernatural on the mind. Especially when we start talking about Lucifer and the War in Heaven and why he fell. Yeah... I just got to Season 3 again and for the first time (probably because I was emotionally stiffer than, well, a 2x4 the first twelve times I watched that finale), I actually cried at the end of Season 2. Poor Dean...
That wasn't actually what I wanted to talk about today. I want to talk about Marvel. Specifically the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From what I've seen from the internet, a growing number of fans are clamoring for Black Panther to get his own movie. And that's perfectly fine with me. I love Marvel and I know I'll love pretty much any movie they do. I also love the X-Men which is why I'm pretty much praying that Fox at least lets Marvel borrow the rights so that we can have an Avengers, X-Men team up because I know that happened frequently in the comic books. :D
No, but seriously, I've noticed a lot of fans beginning to clamor for a female superhero stand-alone movie. And I read an article online that made me shriek with excitement. On the inside, of course. I was eating breakfast around people and I was not in my dorm room where I could do so in privacy. But the female superhero that the writer of the article suggested is my absolute favorite superhero. Forget Magneto, Wolverine, Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, and Captain America. I love them to pieces, I really do. But there is one who takes the cake beyond any other character of a comic book movie or TV show and that is Carol Danvers, AKA Ms. Marvel AKA Binary AKA Captain Marvel. She is my baby. She has a beautifully rich backstory and a complicated as hell storyline, both elements that Marvel seems to do well with AND she would be able to help stand as another bridge between Earth and Space storylines. She can also be the badass secret agent with the warm, compassionate thing people want from females. She can do both. Not only that, but she was present in Age of Apocalypse (the new X-Men that should be coming out eventually) and Age of Ultron (the Avengers sequel) so she could in theory if Fox decides to play nice help bridge the two with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch who are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe if I recall correctly from Thor 2. Quicksilver was also in the most recent X-Men (Days of Future Past which was FABULOUS AND AMAZING AND I WANT IT TO COME OUT ON DVD ALREADY!!!). She also could be a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. since she was for a time without her powers. So Ms. Marvel could in theory be a very strong game piece and a game changer for Marvel Studios, if they're paying attention and do it right. They're bringing out Ant Man and Doctor Strange, the latter may become the equivalent of Iron Man in terms of fan popularity if Marvel's plan works like they hope. Is it really so far fetched that Ms. Marvel could be on their tails? There are so many ways that they could tie her in to what has already been established. But the reason for this fantasticness that is my soul right now is I've always wanted to be in a Marvel movie and no one can blame me for wanting to be a star because the extroverted part of my personality is all about the limelight and prancing around on stage. If that happens, that Carol is getting her own movie or is going to be introduced in someone else's movie, I hope that I'm available to audition for that. I love that character and I would absolutely love to portray her. If I don't, the world won't end. But I want that opportunity.
Hope and faith. It's what I run on, along with a heavy dose of hard work because life isn't just going to be handed to me on a silver platter.
