Watching Captain Marvel and my heart is breaking all over again re: Maria and Carol.

Maria is broken and confused because Carol returned but with no memory. I mean that’s like getting a person back from the dead but then going “but we don’t want to give you that.” and then the strength of Maria to put that aside and be supportive with the speech of “way before you could shoot fire from your fists”.

But that’s not even the worst of it because this is the 90’s, Endgame is slightly future present and so that’s best part of 20 years, 20 years in which Carol didn’t age and didn’t return to Earth. I know I have written a post about this before but it still hurts my heart.

Carol might as well have been dead to Maria. The life they had together was gone and I know in my previous post I theorised that is why Carol didn’t return because it would have been too painful, as Maria aged and she didn’t. But still it hurts.

I’m sad 🙁
