20th november - captain marvel
i finally saw captain marvel the other day. at first i thought it was kind of boring. i wondered what the ravings were all about.
but then it got better, and better, and in the end, i love it. so actually, carol, is the most powerful super being in the whole of universe.
there was something that she did in the end that spoke to me the most.
and the best part is, it has something to do with relationship with Allah. or how i take it.
her mentor (who had lied to her, jude law) challenged her to take him on without using any of her superpowers. he was all, show me what you've got and PROVE IT.
she banged him up good and then said something like, "i don't have to prove anything to you."
and then it hit me. it's so true.
all our lives, especially as a woman, we just try so hard to prove something to others, especially when it comes to proving women are just as good as men.
back to relationship with Allah, or being a muslim.
that is the difference.
the difference is, you don't need to prove anything to anybody, and most especially, to Allah. you literally don't even need to.
because in whatever you do, or think, or wish, or hope for, He Knows. He Knows everything. there is no proving. in being you, your essence, he just Knows.
and actually, that's a relief.
other cliche things that is there but i like:
humans always get back up after a fall/failure
i love that she is literally the most powerful being in the universe but instead of hanging around saving the world, she helped a friend.
i like Fury waited until literally the last second when there is no absolute hope to hit the pager button. that is awesome, fury. thank you for allowing her to be who she needs to be, and to know when is the right time to call her.
girl power, of course.
