Captain Marvel and Goose Funko Pop!s

Captain Marvel’s Goose gets the Full Funko Treatment

The feline Captain Marvel scene-stealer is more than meets the eye

Almost everyone loves movie animals. They’re usually cute and they often do neat tricks. Unless it’s absolutely required by the narrative, most filmmakers also know not to kill a pet or risk losing the audience. Some of the most fun, on-screen creatures turn out to be much more than the average animal, endowed with the ability to speak or do some other remarkable thing. In Captain Marvel, everyone keeps telling Nick Fury that Goose is more than a cat, but he’s too preoccupied with how adorable (and normal-looking) the feline is to pay much attention.

Having already put out a full line of character-inspired Pop!s before the film’s release, Funko waited a week before announcing this delightful spoiler… though depending on your location, it took a bit longer to hit store shelves.

  • Review: ‘Captain Marvel’ is a galactic force to be reckoned with (Includes first-hand account)

    While the Marvel Cinematic Universe consistently delivers entertaining films, they are less committed to sticking to a linear timeline. Consequently, the movies must be rearranged like puzzle pieces to get the full picture. The latest movie is about to bring things full circle by going all the way back to the beginning (or actually, just before the beginning) before swinging back to the present debacle caused by Thanos. In spite of featuring some very strong female characters in their films, it unfortunately took Marvel 20 outings to make a movie with a female lead. Nonetheless, the moment has finally arrived with Captain Marvel.

    There is a long line of one-man wrecking machines who are able to takedown entire operations without assistance. Their backgrounds vary from government agents to experienced assassins to angry fathers or all of the above. Yet their female counterparts are almost non-existent. But that’s about to change with Charlize Theron‘s latest picture, Atomic Blonde, in which she portrays an elite MI6 spy.

  • Teaser for stop-motion film ‘Early Man’ good for a laugh (Includes first-hand account)

    Aardman Animations isn’t exactly a household name, but their characters are certainly well-known. Shaun the Sheep has amused the young and young at heart for about a decade, while Wallace and Gromit have entertained audiences for approximately twice that time. Their stop-motion clay animation characters are somewhat unusual looking and some of them don’t even speak, but that is all a part of their charm. Each has starred in their own feature films, but Aardman has made a number of unrelated features showcasing one-of-a-kind personalities. Their latest original film is called Early Man.

  • Review: ‘Once Upon a Deadpool’ is a fun but fleeting experiment (Includes first-hand account)

    Those who grew up watching certain movies on cable — with commercials — before finally watching an uncut, recorded version on VHS/DVD/laser disc/Blu-ray, know what it’s like to discover scenes, coarse dialogue and graphic images they’ve never seen before. It sometimes changed the whole dynamic of a film and made it impossible to ever go back to the shorter, sanitized version to which you’d been accustomed. Of course, the television cut wasn’t really any less good, but it was unquestionably different. This feeling is gaining relic status with the adoption of streaming and video-on-demand, but Fox has decided to recapture the experience with its PG-rated rendering of Once Upon a Deadpool.
