Discussion post: Fury's eye

[sholio]

Here's something I don't think we've had a discussion post about yet - we finally got the backstory behind Fury's eyepatch in Captain Marvel, and it's not what anyone thought it was going to be! What did you think about that reveal? Did you like it? Or would you have preferred something else, and if so, what kind of thing?

I thought it was lovely, hilarious and perfect. The way it happened was very realistic to me - Fury loves cats (like me!), but fell into the trap of not listening to the cats/flerken's body language, telling him Goose was not happy, yet he ignored all those signals due to the adrenaline of the battle-escape and...paid the price.

I do have the advantage that Captain Marvel was the first Marvel film I properly watched since Thor and Doctor Strange, so I hadn't developed any background to Fury's eye (handwaving it as an injury from his service), so Captain Marvel's explanation did not upset any prior beloved theories for me.

So, love the backstory!

LOL. And a very important lesson about proper treatment of cats was learned. XD
