Captain of cool
驚奇隊長為何能夠拯救復聯?
After 20 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Avengers have really made a mess of things. Half of them disappeared after the giant, purple space villain Thanos snapped his fingers, and the other half don't know what to do next. What can they do to turn things around? Many believe Captain Marvel will be the solution.
在漫威電影宇宙出品了20部作品后,復仇者聯盟卻全軍潰敗。宇宙大反派、“紫薯精”滅霸一個響指就讓半數復聯成員灰飛煙滅,而剩下的人束手無策。他們該如何逆轉局面呢?許多人相信,拯救復聯的會是驚奇隊長。
Captain Marvel, which came out in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 8, is not only Marvel's first female-led superhero film, but also the second to last in a series that will total 22 after Avengers: Endgame is released this month. It's widely understood that Captain Marvel will finally close the multi-plot and multi-character story of the original lineup of the Avengers.
3月8日在國內上映的《驚奇隊長》不光是漫威首部女性超級英雄電影,也是迄今為止漫威宇宙系列22部電影中的倒數第二部。最后一部《復仇者聯盟4:終局之戰》將于本月上映。影迷們大都認為,驚奇隊長將為這部多重情節、多重角色的復聯原班人馬故事畫上句號。
But what makes Captain Marvel special enough to take on Thanos?
但驚奇隊長究竟有何過人之處,能夠對抗滅霸呢?
Captain Marvel's real identity is Carol Danvers, an air force pilot and expert in hand-to-hand combat. Like all the best Marvel superheroes, Danvers' transformation to Captain Marvel resulted from her surviving an explosion that gave her special powers. These include the ability to fly at six times the speed of sound, superhuman strength, and the ability to shoot energy from her fingertips. By the end of Captain Marvel, Danvers even discovers that she can fly to different galaxies.
驚奇隊長的真實身份是卡羅爾·丹弗斯,一位空軍飛行員兼近身格斗專家。和漫威所有出色的超級英雄們情況相似,丹弗斯在一場爆炸中幸免于難,并擁有了超能力,從而成為了驚奇隊長。她的超能力包括能以6倍于音速的速度飛行、擁有超人般的力量以及能夠從指尖發射能量。在電影《驚奇隊長》的結尾,丹弗斯發現自己甚至能飛越不同星系。
Her superpowers aside, Captain Marvel is a relatable female superhero. In the previous Marvel movies, female superheroes like Black Widow and Scarlet Witch have romances, but viewers don't see female friendships. By contrast, in Captain Marvel, the friendship between Danvers and her best friend Maria Rambeau, is the one that matters most in the film.
除了超能力之外,驚奇隊長還是位能讓觀眾有所共鳴的女性超級英雄。在漫威先前的電影中,黑寡婦、猩紅女巫等女性超級英雄都有愛情線,但觀眾們卻看不到女性之間的友誼。相比之下,在電影《驚奇隊長》中,丹弗斯和閨蜜瑪利亞·蘭博之間的友情才是全片中最重要的元素。
Captain Marvel is "a celebration of womanly wit and strength, and the bond between friends", The Mirror noted.
《驚奇隊長》“贊揚了女性的才智與力量,以及朋友之間的紐帶,”《鏡報》指出。
Since she understands how to support her friends, Captain Marvel has no problem working with other superheroes.
正因為驚奇隊長知道如何幫助朋友,她才能和其他超級英雄們通力合作。
It's as Jason Lim of the Korea Times concluded: Captain Marvel isn't "a woman, white, feminist ... She is simply the latest and coolest of Marvel superheroes".
正如《韓國時報》的杰森·林所總結的那樣:驚奇隊長并非是個“支持女權主義的白人女性……她只是漫威最酷的新超級英雄罷了?!?/p>
