>>
>>88781147
Shes a good character (or was), but her recent push hasn't helped. Marvel really wants their Wonder Woman. You ask me, her movie can only help her at this point
>>
>>88781269
It's going to be funny to see how her personality in the comics heel turn when the film comes out.
>>
>>88781307
Agreed. I don't know why they're bothering to do a relaunch right now when it's so obvious she'll get one as soon as her movie's out anyway.
>>
I think Carol's fine, but it's definitely in some ways the need to have her front-and-center that's killing her. The first thing you've got to look at with modern Carol is the KSD work and both the fanbase that cultivated and the blank slate it gave Carol.

I'm not the guy ranting about how she must have long hair and the leotard costume or else, and I get the merit in retconning stuff like her freaky future rape-baby - but you lose everything else along with that in a blank slate. And since then we've had competing takes that have largely rested more on some vague perception of Carol than anything material in them. Some of them haven't been bad! Her stealth S.W.O.R.D. book was alright, and even her new most current post-Civil War thing looks OK. But they're competing arcs and competing takes that feel like they never get a chance to properly build. So Carol is sort of this nebulous "she's so great" who can never do anything bad whereas, without really caring who it pisses off, I'd much rather have a Carol with a past and her slight sadistic streak to read about.

Civil War did a number on a ton of Marvel books - much like Secret Wars, it's all been a bit of a waste of fucking time. But especially with Carol and Tony, to not actually do any build-up of characterization with either has been a total mess.

Mar-Vell isn't even a part of her origin anymore, too.

I don't mind Carol, I just don't care for how they're using her. That said, under a good writer and with care this direction could lead to good stories. Unfortunately, what we have her is neither of those things.
>>
>>88781428
At this point, the film is the only thing Carol needs. The comic division has no idea what to do with her, and the films are the only thing that can kick them in the ass to change direction to something else.
And if the other MCU films are any indication, the new direction will be super inoffensive and safe. Which is exactly what Carol needs after the last 5 years of shit she's been in.

Storm isn't Wonder Woman.

She fought Wonder Woman because the X-Men were at PEAK popularity at the time. Which just goes to show how shitty Marvel is at solo superheroines, that they had literally nobody else.

Marvel wanted to push a strong female character without using the X-Men while Wanda and Black Widow are just as boring as Carol or more so.

In OP, which was a better haircut than what she had prior. When she became Captain Marvel, she was given this absurd SS3 looking hair crossed with a mohawk/fauxhawk. It looked retarded and every single artist drew it different, with some artists drawing it differently multiple times in the SAME COMIC (looking at you, Yu). When Anka came in to spruce up the design for the ANAD run, he noticed how much people were having problems with her weird SS3 haircut and decided to just cut it off and make it short so it would be more uniform and easier to stay on model compared to McKelvie's SS3 fauxhawk.

>>88782184
KSD wasn't responsible for the short hair.

Kelly Sue Deconnick...

She used every pandering "Gurls write comics too!" tactic possible to make her run on CM a flash in the pan & she was smart enough to bail after it crested and got was voted "greatest woman in comics".

I think she is an untalented writer but I respect her self-serving conniving the same way I do Mark Millar's Hollywood grabassery.
>>
>>88781147
they're throwing her powerlevel into absurdity for the movies so every other hero is going to suffer for her pandering.

Would actually like to see her fight wonder woman though just so she could get her shit kicked in.

>>88782318
What was even worse than the hair was the helmet. Oh god that looked terrible, and just kept showing up.
>>
>>88782390
Yeah, I'm not sure why people shit on Anka's design so relentlessly when it was objectively better than the one she had during the KSD run. The hair is better, the costume is better, and it got rid of that stupid as fuck helmet (I get that they were going for a Kree-like helmet but it's not like Mar-Vell wore the helmet in his most popular design).

I mean, she's Captain Marvel. If the movie was about Mar-Vell then no one would give a fuck if he was a crazy OP cosmic hero because Mar-Vell was, well, a crazy OP cosmic hero. So was Genis. Shit, modern Monica Rambeau is and so was Phyla.

"Captain Marvel" is a cosmic hero. People just seem to be upset because they don't see Carol as "Captain Marvel" but as "Ms. Marvel" but it's not like she wasn't extremely powerful as Binary.

"Captain Marvel" is a cosmic hero. You can argue about who should be the titular Captain Marvel, but arguing that Captain Marvel shouldn't be cosmic-tier is just wrong. Would you be complaining about Quasar or Nova being cosmic tier?

Her connection to Mar-Vell is important in Ultimates. Just because he's not relevant enough to her origin to put in a three-page summary doesn't mean he got retconned.

They probably don't know he's from Earth, and Ronan was going rogue at that point. They weren't going to stop him, but it's not a big deal for them.
>>
>>88784000
They didnt stop him because it was their roundabout way of ignoring the treaty. He still a high ranking officer and holy man to the Kree. Also Quill apparently has a file that says hes from Earth, well at least to the Nova Corp. I just think it'd be funny if Carol legit tried to be "diplomatic", they bring it up, and then she becomes murder Carol
>>
>>88781694
No. Storm is not a solo character. She cannot stand on her own without the X-Men. Even discounting the issue of sales, which she can't draw as shown by her first and only solo a few years ago that flopped harder than any of Carol's, she just doesn't have the potential for stories on her own. Some characters are like that. Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, and Beast are all examples. Vision is an example too, his recent solo only worked because it was unconventional and limited. That's not something that can keep a character going indefinitely.

Marvel has no Wonder Woman. They never will have a female character at that level.

Which is why they push CM so much, the trouble is Marvel has always been utterly inept in handling their female characters. Their females are team characters because Marvel are not competent enough to build them up.

Is there a Marvel female who hasn't been portrayed as being inferior at handling power in comparison to her male counterpart?
>>
>>88782080
Wanda is the only Marvel female with compelling arch enemies; Chthon (effectively created as an arch foe for Wanda) and Set, who seems to have vanished.

But guess what? Marvel's retards have replaced Chthon and Set with SJW pandering and a stereotypical Irishman.

Carol was way better when she was written as someone who has trouble being a hero despite her extensive military background and deals with real problems like Alcoholism and trauma instead of the "YAS QUEEN SLAY QUEEN LITERALLY PERFECT CAROL OF MURDER" shit Marvel's been trying to force.

The whole shit with "Progressive" characters Marvel is missing is that the characters themselves have to progress through overcoming adversity. Carol has overcome adversity and her own demons but she was still troubled by them till she got the full Captain Marvel mantle, But because Marvel are trying to push her in a direction where she's a leading Marvel hero, they think they can just erase the past and change her character to suit when they have an entire history to build off.

The film might give them a clean slate (They have to at least wipe that period where Rogue stole her powers cause lol no mutants in the MCU). But it's a case of progressive for the sake of progressive that they will change the character instead of having her learn instead of the Carol people liked before.

This is a good post.
Carol is a good character, and arguably one that fits well as a "big name" Avenger, but she's been crippled by KSD and the push to make her a Yaas Queen Feminist Icon. You can tell that Fazekas, Butters, Stohl, etc would rather be writing Reed's Carol than KSD's and they're being hamstrung by editorial.

The difference between Mar-Vell/Carol and say, Hulk/She-Hulk is that Mar-Vell hasn't been used in any notable capacity since the 80's. The most media exposure he ever got was showing up in two episodes of Super Hero Squad (a show where Carol is a major character) and a few episodes of Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Carol had more prominence in that show, too.

As far as casual viewers are concerned Mar-Vell might as well be Abin Sur or wrongly think he's the male knock-off of Carol.
>>
>>88781269
Carol was NEVER a good character. Ever. Some anons here vastly overrate her sociopathic tendencies and claim that's what makes her "interesting", but it's clear most only say that because they actually get off to that shit and also want her to lez out with Spider-Woman. Every other character that's had her title(s) has proven a better character then she ever was.
>>
>>88781269
The movie is going to be terrible. They will try to GotG it and put in lots of ill-fitting quips and humour. Meanwhile they will entirely gloss over the fact that Carol is a murdering alcoholic.

The sad thing is that Marvel actually has decent female characters, but they're all in properties like Xmen that they don't own the movie rights to. They should've made a Runaways movie instead.
>>
>>88786345
>Marvel has no Wonder Woman. They never will have a female character at that level.

Pretty much. One of the big defining traits of wonder woman is that she is her own hero. She's not tied in origins to other heroes. She's not Super Girl or Bat Girl. She's Wonder Woman. All of marvels most iconic female heroes are either wives/girl friends or team members. Or they're tied to a male character too much. Wonder Woman has that Independence marvel never gave their women back in the 70's or 80's to have this long standing classic character.

Wasp
Sue Storm
Jean Grey
Storm
Scarlet Witch

Wonder Woman has a boyfriend character. Like Betty Ross, or Mary Jane, Lois Lane. There's Steve Trevor. Marvel still has their single female heroes date/marry other male heroes. Again..... no independence from male heroes. Marvel KEEPS on doing this shipping shit instead of realizing how that neuters(or spays...) their character. They treat the women differently from the men. Why do the men get to date normal humans? Yea obviously not all, but how many female marvel heroes date normies? Until Carol dates a regular normal human guy for 10 years, then marvel isn't even on the path to having a wonder woman type hero.

This. Wonder Woman is her own thing, Marvel's heroines are token team members or plot devices.

Marvel's heroines have always been dragged down hard by being totally defined by their relationships with males; Wanda by Vision (especially Englehart pushing the baby angle...Which is where the ruination of Wanda started) and Magneto (Bendis literally made her an extension of Mags).

Storm was pretty much ruined by Black Panther. There's a pic of BP on a throne, which makes him look cool...while making Storm look like a fucking idiot.

By contrast male Marvel heroes are generally not defined by female characters.

Jean, Wanda, and Proto are also portrayed as not being able to handle power, while their male counterparts have few such problems.

Sorry, Spider-Man, you had One More Day so I guess we can write off everything you've ever done as trash.

Sorry Batman, you had Dark Knight II, so by extension every story you've ever been in is worthless.

And we'll just go ahead and extend this to the entire Marvel universe since they were all in Civil War II and that story sucked. All trash. Shut down the publisher. Also shut down DC because Identity Crisis.

Not even Marvel writers like her. You think they write her like a totally unlikable bitch by accident? They're just forced to push her by Disney, so since they know she'll never get canceled, they just write her like a cunt.

No muscles, huh?

Not that anon, but I'm bewildered how you came to that conclusion from the greentext.

She's 5'7'', probably weights 120 pounds and is going to be fully covered. She isn't going to put on a single ounce of muscle for this role and is going to look just as pathetic as Scarjo trying her hardest to look badass next to guys like Evans and Hemsworth who live in the gym while making these movies.
>>
I can't say I like her but her new costume is an improvement. Not to shit on the classic/iconic look but if a change had to happen I approve of the suit, the hairstyles not so much.

Because marvel knows female heroes don't sell well. So they try to tie them into male heroes to make them sell. Even though if they just treated their heroes like the men it would work.

Pls they already had her make up with Jess in a super easy way after all she is YASS QUEEN never wrong!
>>
>>88801488
Well to be fair they do this shit to every character that they think wont sell well.
>Hey we have this character that might be a little out of the norm, how do we sell it?
>Write it well and wait for the fans to generate buzz?
>Fuck that make some sorta gimmick and push the shit out of it in marketing, they'll eat it up.

this is the biggest issue with western actresses, they put zero, ZERO effort into their roles.

most think cutting their hair is the biggest, most amazing hurdle and sacrifice they can make.
>>
>>88801594

gimmicks are way broader than not treating their female peter parker like peter parker. Spider-man had girlfriends and rarely got involved with heroes romantically. Kamala's dating life should mirror teenage dating, not be some fetish sized super hero life.

Marvel has been trying to push Captain MARVEL since a while ago, and the problem isn't even Carol, the name and powers just don't have the same kind of weight as "Spider-Man" or others, they simply want to explit it because they won it back from DC.

YAAS QUEEN

Not to complete absolve the actresses but I feel like this is more problem casting director or whoever decides the general look of characters. I could imagine the meeting goes down like
>Well the character has some muscle but I dont think this will translate to the screen very well.
>>
>>88781147
the short hair just looks like shit, I could care less about the costume, she was a military girl so her wearing a more military costume is whatever, go for it (we all know the black leotard with sash is better and so does marvel)

but the fucking hair, just cut it out, she's a die-hard conservative air-force authoritarian.

she isn't a liberal millennial hipster, which is funny that all those types are the ones who are now her fans, considering Carol is still a right wing turbo cop even in her big event.
>>
>>88801786
no, your wrong, women actresses outright refuse to do this sort of shit for roles, they are in high demand for being pretty on the screen and thus they can throw their weight around.
>>
>>88801823
I think it's the Hollywood focus testing shitting things up. The data says people dont want buff or even toned women on screen so they dont ask for it. But if you do have an example of what you said I'm curious to see it.
>>
>>88801823

No, they don't refuse. They're not asked to. It's more in line with >>88801912 that women don't like seeing buff women.

There's really 1 big reason buff and fat girls in hollywood has never worked because their weight fluctuates. You need consistency. You have to look the same for years at a time. Men maintain and stay in shape, women don't. Who wants a buff girl to play anne frank or something inbetween marvel movies?

This post is so fucking retarded I don't even know where to begin with this.
>>
>>88801786
No, it's more the fact that muscular women aren't desirable by men or women whereas every man wants a body like Hemsworth's and every woman wants to fuck a guy with a body like Hemsworth's. Also, it's easier for a male actor to get a role in between cape flicks still being buff and in shape than it would be for a woman and it's much more difficult for women to gain that kind of muscle mass and maintain it in the first place, so it's just not worth it.

I don't think Anka is capable of drawing a thoroughly feminine woman.
>>
>>88804022
If you can recognize the character as a woman then it doesn't matter if the picture fits your misogynistic definition of what women should look like, because you looked at the picture and instantly identified it as a female character.
Drawing an unattractive woman that looks like a woman is a lot harder an artistic feat than drawing some blow-up doll in a cape costume.
Stop pretending that it's bad art because you always want to be reading porn 24/7.

So you missed all those threads with pictures of Carol and Steve Rogers side by side and people unable to tell which is which?

He identified it as a female character because it's a picture of Carol wearing her costume in a thread about Carol.
