The upcoming solo film will see Brie Larson suiting up as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, as she attempts to save the Earth in the wake of the Kree-Skrull War. The photos of the film gave fans plenty of surprises, from the long-awaited official look at Carol’s costume, to the debut of the Starforce, to characters like Maria Rambeau (Lashanna Lynch) and Skrull villain Talos (Ben Mendelsohn).

It’s safe to say that hype for Captain Marvel is pretty darn high, with both established and new fans expressing their love for the movie. Here’s a round-up of just a few of those responses.

So Many Emotions

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW

I FEEL LIKE CRYING THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

The Costume!!

I LOVE CAPTAIN MARVEL’S UNIFORM.

It would have been so easy for them to sexualize it, and they didn’t?

We got no corsetry, no boob armour. It isn’t skin-tight, and there isn’t a handy zipper down the front, to maximize cleavage opportunities in key scenes.

It’s just a uniform.

Years in the Making

The MCU is what got me into reading comics. @kellysue’s run on Captain Marvel was the first superhero I met and fell in love with on the page. And now Carol is gonna be in the MCU and here are the pics to prove it and I am having so many emotions I didn’t expect to have.

Stop Comparing

Seeing people claim #CaptainMarvel is a knock off of Wonder Woman, as if both characters haven’t existed for decades, and not being able to handle the concept of two strong female superhero leads being fantastic in their own rights pic.twitter.com/Wkckl5Q06e

Priorities in Order

MARVEL: Look at the cool makeup work on our Skrulls! Look at the new, more-comics-accurate costumes for some of our villains!
BASICALLY EVERYONE IN #CAPTAINMARVEL FANDOM I FOLLOW: NINE INCH NAILS AND MONICA RAMBEAU’S MOM, HOLY SHIT

I love you guys.
