In 2008, approximately 4,105 movie theaters experienced the opening weekend of a comic book movie that would change the landscape of cinema forever. Iron Man’s release marked the beginning of a brave new world that would put the power and influence of the cinematic medium into the hands of geeks and nerds everywhere. 

In May 2011, I had just finished my freshman year of undergrad, which also means I had just finished Physics 201 – the one where you get into the good, weird stuff, like intro to relativity and just a hint of quantum mechanics. As a planned physics major, it was the first step towards even weirder, cooler science. May 2011, coincidentally, is the first time Jane Foster showed up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

I’m a firm believer in dressing up no matter what the occasion. Going on a quick Target run? Have dinner plans at a super casual restaurant? Taking your dog out for a walk? Dress to the nines . . . but make it geeky!

Like many geeky fashionistas, I’m always taking inspiration from beloved (and love to hate) characters from books, movies, and tv shows. Since I’ve been riding high on Marvel, I created a fun look with retro flair inspired by Minn-Erva from Captain Marvel, as portrayed by Gemma Chan. While I was bummed her character wasn’t fully fleshed out, there’s no denying that her aesthetic is cool AF.

Avengers: Infinity War is arguably the movie event of the year. For many female fans like myself, this movie has been especially long awaited. This 19th franchise installment features the largest cast of female characters in a Marvel film to date. But, backed by an all-male team of directors and writers, one can’t help but wonder how it’s going to serve the women both on screen and in the audience.
