Marvel Entertainment
Did you watch the new trailer for Captain Marvel yet? If not, go here. I’ll wait. Pretty good, right? But…
Did you catch that brief scene where we see Carol Danvers in her dope green suit punching an old woman in the face? What was up with that? Talk about trying to get people to talk about your new trailer, huh?

Well, it worked. Because that one moment in the almost two-minute long trailer is the talk of the internet.

And by talk of the internet, I, of course, mean it’s been turned into a funny meme, because that is what the internet does.
Okay, the question is, why did Captain Marvel hit the old lady on the bus?
Please answer and use hashtag#WhyDidCarolHitTheLady?

Valid question. Let’s see if we can get some answers.
She saw a volkswagon beetle.#WhyDidCarolHitTheLady

She kept singing that damn 1-800-Kars-4Kids song #WhyDidCarolHitTheLady

Skrulls in disguise. #WhyDidCarolHitTheLady

Too logical.
This is the setup for why we haven't seen Carol since the 90s. She has PTSD from the war with the Skrulls, and assaulted a woman after mistakenly thinking she was a Skrull and has been housed at Litchfield Penitentiary ever since. #WhyDidCarolHitTheLady

Too meta.

Okay, that one wins, because Shazam is also called Captain Marvel, for some odd reason.
Now, the memes…
"Martha Kent?"
"Yes?"

What if the whole movie is just Captain Marvel beating the shit out of old ladies on the bus?

Would watch.
