Recently-released “Brightburn” is a movie that is essentially the Superman origin story… but Superman turns out to be an evil psycho rather than all that is good and wonderful. He kills with glee and gore, using his superpowers of flight and laser-eyes and whatnot to spread pain and terror, killing both individually and mass murdering. The kid is clearly a villain.

But he could have been beaten to the screen by a few months if only one scene hadn’t been deleted from “Captain Marvel.” In this scene, the “super hero” uses her super-strength to injure a man and extort from him his property under the threat of mutilation. This… is also a villain.

Due to the over-politicization, it took me months to see “Black Panther,” after having caught Every Single Previous Marvel Movie on Day One. I still have not seen “Captain Marvel.” I suspect I never will at this point.
