    I think it's really cool that those girls will be raised with a bonafied female role model. I know for certain as a father of two girls who are really in to the MCU that I loved the Wasp, and I can't wait for Captain Marvel to come out.

      Yeah, the Steven Moffat / Matt Smith era got a little too pretentious and self-referential for my tastes. The show didn't get back on track for me until after Clara left, when Peter Capaldi had a fresh new companion with no hold-overs from the previous era.
