When Marvel released the a deleted scene from Captain Marvel, certain parts of the internet had a field day. The looked at the evidence and came to the conclusion that Captain Marvel is the real villain of the story. They argued on moral and legal grounds. The problem is that they are wrong. Why? Because of the nature of the situation.

Long story short, the guy on the motorcycle did more than just be rude to Captain Marvel, he actually committed the crime of assault & battery. This allowed Captain Marvel to use the justification of self defense.

Sorry folks, this lawyer’s opinion is that Captain Marvel IS NOT the villain.

Real Law Review:

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.

Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.

This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!
