She claims herself. 394 00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:08,179 And there were a lot of takes that Brie did 395 00:23:08,179 --> 00:23:10,098 that were what you're used to seeing 396 00:23:10,098 --> 00:23:13,560 and what felt right because that's what you're programmed to expect. 397 00:23:14,269 --> 00:23:18,731 Then there was this other take where, as she said it, a tear ran down her face. 398 00:23:20,942 --> 00:23:23,403 My name is Carol. 399 00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:26,698 And I thought, "Wow, I have never seen, 400 00:23:27,198 --> 00:23:29,784 "in the superhero's most powerful moment, 401 00:23:29,784 --> 00:23:33,455 "a tear running down their face.

It's not the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world. 473 00:27:48,376 --> 00:27:49,419 Sure they do. 474 00:27:50,044 --> 00:27:52,505 Kamala embraces everything that makes her her. 475 00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,757 And I think that's so admirable. 476 00:27:54,757 --> 00:27:58,010 You know, she doesn't shy away from the fact that she is Muslim. 477 00:28:00,972 --> 00:28:04,809 The importance of having Kamala be the first Muslim superhero, 478 00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:06,811 it's enormous. 479 00:28:09,897 --> 00:28:11,858 That's the DNA of Marvel, 480 00:28:11,858 --> 00:28:15,445 of making sure that the stories are representative, 481 00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:20,158 because Marvel tries to capture the real world, 482 00:28:20,158 --> 00:28:22,410 just in the most fantastic way possible. 483 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,556 Sometimes, a movie is a movie, and escape is fun, 484 00:28:43,556 --> 00:28:46,100 and you enjoy it and never think about it again. 485 00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:49,103 But Captain Marvel was not just a movie. 486 00:28:49,937 --> 00:28:52,607 It changed how people felt about themselves. 487 00:28:53,608 --> 00:28:56,611 {\an8}I can remember growing up and not really having 488 00:28:56,611 --> 00:28:59,614 {\an8}many female superheroes to look up to. 489 00:28:59,614 --> 00:29:03,659 I can't even recall, if you ask me, if there's one. 490 00:29:03,659 --> 00:29:07,038 But now, you know, I can say with Captain Marvel, 491 00:29:07,038 --> 00:29:09,832 it's allowing little girls to look up to this 492 00:29:09,832 --> 00:29:13,753 strong woman and say that, "I actually can be her." 493 00:29:14,545 --> 00:29:16,214 {\an8}My name is Alyssa Carson. 494 00:29:16,214 --> 00:29:20,259 {\an8}I'm an aspiring astronaut and my favorite character is Captain Marvel. 495 00:29:24,388 --> 00:29:26,599 Captain Marvel is my favorite character 496 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,436 because she sends such a good message of women 497 00:29:30,436 --> 00:29:33,022 being just as strong as the male superheroes. 498 00:29:34,148 --> 00:29:36,275 Captain Marvel shows determination. 499 00:29:37,777 --> 00:29:38,945 (GRUNTS) 500 00:29:39,529 --> 00:29:41,572 And so, I think that that determination 501 00:29:41,572 --> 00:29:44,575 definitely resonates with me to keep going after my dreams. 502 00:29:48,538 --> 00:29:51,332 When I was a little girl, I pretty much have loved space 503 00:29:51,332 --> 00:29:53,000 ever since I could remember. 504 00:29:55,545 --> 00:29:58,422 I was always obsessed with it and wanting to learn more. 505 00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:02,802 No one in my family has any space or science background. 506 00:30:02,802 --> 00:30:05,346 So it was very bizarre for me to one day come up 507 00:30:05,346 --> 00:30:07,807 and start asking all kinds of space questions, 508 00:30:07,807 --> 00:30:09,600 but I took it and ran with it. 509 00:30:11,394 --> 00:30:14,939 Then, as I got older, the more I learned, the more my obsession grew. 510 00:30:16,357 --> 00:30:18,317 I've seen Captain Marvel many times, 511 00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:21,654 and, you know, I think that the more times that I watched it, 512 00:30:21,654 --> 00:30:24,740 I was definitely encouraged to keep doing what I'm doing. 513 00:30:24,740 --> 00:30:27,368 I'm currently studying astrobiology. 514 00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:31,956 And I'm looking forward to being able to contribute 515 00:30:31,956 --> 00:30:33,833 to the science happening on Mars. 516 00:30:37,128 --> 00:30:41,299 Something that I share with Captain Marvel is curiosity. 517 00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:44,594 She definitely has a very curious mind, 518 00:30:44,594 --> 00:30:46,345 but, at the end of the day, 519 00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:50,308 she really just wants to contribute to something greater than herself. 520 00:30:51,309 --> 00:30:52,977 And so, I think that connects, 521 00:30:52,977 --> 00:30:55,187 'cause when we look at the mission to Mars, 522 00:30:55,187 --> 00:30:57,189 it's not about just getting to Mars. 523 00:30:57,189 --> 00:31:00,067 It's about all the benefits that getting to Mars brings. 524 00:31:01,152 --> 00:31:03,487 New technologies, new resources 525 00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:06,824 that can actually help with the problems we have now on Earth. 526 00:31:10,453 --> 00:31:13,122 I think that we need female superheroes 527 00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:16,792 because it is so important to see other strong women. 528 00:31:19,253 --> 00:31:22,715 Captain Marvel is encouraging the next group of women 529 00:31:22,715 --> 00:31:26,093 to go after their dreams and hopefully be just as empowered. 530 00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:31,140 (CROWD CHEERING) 531 00:31:41,525 --> 00:31:45,571 HAYS: The huge value of
