Saw a couple of requests in the MCU thread for an official Captain Marvel thread. I don't know the answers to any of these questions, so I figured I'd open the floor...

Quote:


Is it too soon to start a Captain Marvel thread? I don't know much about her beyond friends with Logan and Rogue steals her superman powers.

Why is she SO powerful and more powerful than other Kree?
Quote:

I'd also like to get some background on what makes her so strong. Even trying to get some background on Wikipedia today proved tedious and confusing.

Apparently there have been lots of captain marvels, it's a title bestowed upon someone. Carol Danvers is this version of CM and she was part of a nuclear explosion or some such that gave her superpowers.

It's a Marvel Comics character created in the 70's, so yes that it is accurate. The movies have been successful by picking one version or one storyline and repacking it for simple, linear plots. So even people who know their comic book history don't know what the movie's going to do until they release information. All I can tell from the one trailer I've watched is that we're probably gonna see some cool alien shape-shifting.

Comic book question:
How does the Muslim Ms. Marvel play into this?

There was a comic titled Ms Marvel on prime reader, so I downloaded it last week. It was about some Muslim teenage girl whose hands get really big and she fights crime. Kind of like a halla version of kick ass. It referenced Capt Marvel. But is the a replacement for her like a new doctor? Or something else?

I definitely agree with the sentiment that her dialogue comes off as stiff in the previews, and she does seem ridiculously powerful. But Marvel has yet to make a 'bad' MCU film yet, so I'm going into this one with an open mind.

Even if the storyline isn't the greatest, I'd expect it to at least have some interesting characters like Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, the early Thor movies, and Black Panther. Not to mention cool visuals. The 90's nostalgia will give it some points too.

Honestly, I'm seeing this for Nick Fury alone. It's great to see Samuel L. Jackson back, and we get back story on Fury's past (and hopefully his eye). And you know there will be many one-liners.

Her 70s origin, as I recall, is that some Kree device explodes near her and Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, and her DNA mixes with his. So she gets all the superpowers that he had. Flight, beams, etc. She initially goes by Ms. Marvel. So she's one of the earliest examples of "let's make a female version."

That said, she's clearly come into her own. She changed costumes and names a few times over the decades, eventually taking on the Captain Marvel mantle.

The new muslim Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman (mutant, basically) who was inspired by her and took on the name. No formal connection beyond that, as far as powers or origin.

Oh yeah! I think someone on the other thread asked about Rogue.

Rogue (of the X-Men) was initially a villain of sorts, raised and manipulated by Mystique. As I recall, she once attempted to absorb Ms./Captain Marvel's powers and ended up holding on so long that Marvel ended up in a coma. Rogue ended up permanently absorbing her powers of flight and strength.

Theoretically, we may get this version of Rogue down the road in the MCU - the tough, tortured, charming and powerful version of Rogue, instead of the mousy teenaged Anna Paquin version from the 2000-2006 films.

Yeah, I'm hoping with Kelly Thompson (Hawkeye, Mr. and Mrs. X, West Coast Avengers, and one of the writers on Uncanny X-Men) Carol Danvers goes through a renaissance in the comics and is more enjoyable. Thompson starts her run next month, so hoping for the best.

Rogue and Gambit were my two favorites growing up. They haven't translated well to screen.... yet.

Kitsch wasn't necessarily a bad Gambit. That movie was just bad. My favorite bad moment is when at the end, Wolverine has amnesia from that bullet, Gambit comes back to get Wolverine in the plane. Wolverine asks him who he is and Gambit, not saying anything and just nodding, walks away. Never to be seen again.

What I'm trying to say is that I can't wait for Rogue and Gambit to be on the big screen, done properly. Maybe in Captain Marvel 2 if we have introduced Mutants at that point, we get Rogue!

Holy cow. You raise a good point! Obviously most of the X-Men are predominately connected to the X-Men, but there's enough crossover and history there that you could introduce certain movies in other films and then stitch them into a "main" X-Men movie later.

For example:
- Rogue was introduced in an Avengers comic as a villain, plus the aforementioned Captain Marvel connection
- Wolverine first appeared as a Hulk villain (unlikely since Hulk films are in a weird spot)
- Beast joined the Avengers for several years, and then led an iteration of the Defenders for several more
- Storm has a brief history with Black Panther
- Iceman and Angel briefly teamed with Black Widow, Hercules and Ghost Rider in a group called the Champions

Rogue is probably the only semi-realistic one here, since usually X-Men join other properties, rather than outside characters joining the X-Men. But I wouldn't have expected Spider-Man and Black Panther to be introduced in a Captain America team-up film, either, so you could easily introduce a mutant who later joins an ensemble film and is somewhat fleshed out.

Ms Marvel is an Inhuman recent character and different than Carol Danvers/Cap Marvel

I like that they are so trying to emphasize "girl power" that they have a zoomed in shot of her crotch at 1:11.
