Maybe not (as you said) the shining example of female empowerment, but the women I know love her, and why not? She's strong, smart, brave enough to fight through her fears, and not roll your eyes powerful. She's funny, even when doing something "evil", and her morals are less black and white than most other characters.
All that future planning and down the road stuff is great, but goes for naught if they can't nail that first step This is a property that hasn't exactly prospered on the big screen and even had their comics shelved for awhile. Chalk up all my ranting to an all time low faith with regards to the MCU...........
Yes. I am confused.i'm all on board with implementing female characters into the MCU,.. just think they need to be new stand alone, instead of replacing the originals,
And stamping the original namesake to new arrivals adds to confusion too,
Such as Monica Rambeau ..as the " new" Captain Marvel
And note how Marvel decided to re-change Monica Rambeau name sake to "Spectrum" .(not the cable company..lol)
So. what happened that decided the change to Spectrum ?
Confusion ?
She was. And her title was later changed to Captain Marvel some time after the original Mar-Vell had passed.
Understood. Well-before the MCU, I was on cloud nine after hearing about the Silver Surfer cartoon coming out in the late 90s. "Surely, it could be as good as the cartoon X-men series, right?" Nope. That pissed me off.
If it helps, I don't really care.
For 80 years, DC Comics' big three are Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. The Amazon Princess was a hit for ABC during the shallow titillation days of 1970's television for five seasons.
Superman IV should have been the end of superhero movies altogether if the Supergirl bomb turned them all into Courage the Cowardly Dog into denying Wonder Woman a shot.
If it helps, I don't really care.
I agree completely. There are treasure troves of characters untapped. Team characters have not been done correctly. Netflix's The Defenders was basically thrown together. DC Universe's Titans had a fair first season and great potential but eroded each season.
Yes. Her powers were Mar-Vell's. Technically, Carol Danvers was the first female Captain Marvel because her abilities were Kree based.
I only meant that as a knock on the reason Disney is converting someone like this who is a fairly popular character to female. Not at all surprised. This sounds like one of those things where the executives got involved, it makes me wonder what else they’re doing? Maybe that’s why the whole F4 movie has such a screwy premise to begin with.

Mar-Vell never seemed very popular during his day, I tried reading his comics and just never found him very interesting........ that is until "The Death Of Captain Marvel" came out. That was a great story and cemented Jim Starlin's legendary status. Unfortunately, Mar-Vell became more interesting in death and it was too iconic of a story to try and walk back. It was kinda weird, I kinda wanted to see more of Mar-Vell after that, but didn't want to either, it would have just cheapened the story and impact.
I was one of those comic book buyers who LOVED Mar-Vell. His Nega Bands fascinated me. And even though I have seen literally over a thousand costumes or uniforms drawn for characters under and outside the Marvel and DC umbrella, Mar-Vell's remains the best of the bunch to this day for me.Mar-Vell never seemed very popular during his day, I tried reading his comics and just never found him very interesting........ that is until "The Death Of Captain Marvel" came out.

... and most certainly will not likely get you the very valuable, critical film critic's reviews
I think paid film critics reviews have far less impact on box office or television ratings and far more impact through social media reviews. Viral campaigns have lessen audience appeal of high quality productions and increased the appeal of lesser quality ones.
