Log-line: A headstrong extraterrestrial woman crash-lands in 1990’s America, on the hunt for shapeshifting aliens. However, as the planet stirs up lost memories within her, she begins to question if she’s on the right side of the war she’s fighting. Also, there’s a cat. A space cat.
2.5/5 Bones
Let’s get this out of the way: it’s a relief to have her. A superheroine headlining in a goddamn functional supersuit without boob armour or heels would’ve meant the world to me when I was a kid. I wish I’d seen it instead of Cat-Woman - the S&M music video masquerading as empowerment that was the superheroine film I had instead. But there’s something undercooked in this lore-based episode of the MCU nonetheless, and I can’t help but feel that Carol deserved better.
