The Marvels

Strong female representation both in front of and behind the camera. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) was the MCU's first female superhero to get a stand-alone movie. Ms. Marvel is the MCU's first Muslim Pakistani American superhero. Monica Rambeau is a Black female superhero. Antagonist Dar-Benn is a woman and is played by Zawe Ashton, who's of Ugandan and English descent. The filmmakers are mostly women, too, including director Nia DaCosta and co-writers Megan McDonnell and Elissa Karasik. Positive supporting female characters include Monica's mother/Carol's best friend Maria (in flashbacks) and Kamala's loving mother, Mrs. Khan. Cast is racially diverse overall, including actors who are Black, Asian, South Asian. Crowds and background characters are diverse in terms of race and body type.

Several alarming, destructive scenes of the Kree siphoning natural resources from other planets and leaving the inhabitants to die as their planets crumble. Kree warriors and Marvels battle each other with fists, kicks, and weapons (laser guns, spears, knives, scarves, missiles, etc.). Spaceship dogfights, pursuits, crashes. People are hurt, some presumably killed, and planets are terribly damaged. Characters are stabbed, shot at, and die in supernatural ways. In one disturbing sequence, the heroes can't evacuate an entire population in time and watch as the planet -- and everyone left on it -- is destroyed. The Kree homeworld of Hala is in imminent danger of destruction due to its dying sun and lost resources. Flerken cat monsters use their tentacles to swallow people and objects whole and then spit them out later.

In one scene, Carol and a prince sing and dance together, and Monica admires the prince's attractiveness.

A few uses of "s--t," "damn," and "hell."
