The Internet loves cats. All the more so when the cat happens to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But wait, Goose is not a cat, but a Flerken?
STOP.
This is where we give you the customary spoiler alert. Moving on.
Captain Marvel released to a ‘marvelous’ box office opening collection of over Rs 12 crores on Day One in India, beating other superhero titles. A cool new origin story, starring Brie Larson isn’t entirely why it’s memes are spreading all over the Internet like a wildfire.
