Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I have mixed feelings about the news that The Marvels will be the shortest movie in the franchise's history. On the one hand, I am excited to see a new Marvel movie, and I am sure that it will be an action-packed and entertaining adventure. On the other hand, I am a little disappointed that the movie will be shorter than some of the other MCU films. I have come to expect a certain level of epicness from Marvel movies, and I am worried that a shorter runtime might not be enough to do the story justice.

However, I am willing to give The Marvels a chance. I trust that Marvel Studios knows what they are doing, and I am sure that they will deliver a movie that is both entertaining and satisfying. I am looking forward to seeing how the story of Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica Rambeau unfolds, and I am excited to see how they will team up to save the universe. I am also curious to see how the movie will explore the themes of family, friendship, and heroism.
