Is Marvel going to make the Captain Marvel movie right and make Carol the nuanced character she always has been deep down, the valiant but mentally scared alien slaying cosmic warrior who only understands herself when she's lost in battle fury, or will they just ignore her complexities in favor of shaping Carol into a blank slate "role model" figure sanitized of any real character? It's her near sociopathic violent urges that makes her interesting.
Her mythos throughout her entire history as a character, despite being very fractured, has so much potential to be reconciled into a fully realized world military science fiction world
Daniel Gutierrez
You should know by now that the MCU basically makes up their own characters and slaps costumes on them. Look at Iron Man.
Aaron Ramirez
I honestly think it will be the first one the movies tend to ignore the worst retardation of current marvel comics
Over the years you have to go further and further back to hit the good stuff though so its going to become dificult soon
Joseph Murphy
All we have about the subject afaik is an interview with one of the two female writers She said that was indeed their initial approach, "How do we make her a strong feminist icon?" But ultimately they decided "fuck that, we just have to write an interesting story and character"
Carter Watson
By the third one the character fully ceased to be Tony Stark and just became Robert Downey Junior.
Noah Foster
Yeah it's not bad or anything, different universe and all. Just can't pretend like they're strongly basing things on the comics anymore. They're doing their own thing and it works.
Connor Anderson
Thats promising
Nathan Torres
The question is whether or not they think she's an interesting character to begin with, and genuinely want to adapt her comic book mythology into a movie
Aiden Young
At the very least even if they discard her old personality anything will be better then the current one.
Jason Martin
MORE IMPORTANTLY: How will Brie Larson handle the quips? Has she quipped in past films?
Zachary Anderson
That's basically how MCU avoids the bullshit that DC gets over the portrayal of it's characters.
Kayden Lewis
Pretty sure they avoid the bullshit that DC gets over the portrayal of it's characters by not hiring Zack Snyder to make their movies.
Ryder Hall
The problem with Ms.Marvel is that she's so flawed that you start hating her guts. Everything that's bad happens to this character to a point where you know they're just shitting on her so the reader can relate to Carol. Carol should get killed off or turned into a supervillain.
Anthony Cruz
No, they avoid it by the simple virtue that the general movie watching audience don't give a fuck about Marvel characters not named Spider-Man (Or even Hulk) and letting them do whatever they want as long as it's appealing to them.
Cameron Russell
I've never hated her. It's very easy to avoid what you're talking about and create a nuanced character who demonstrates both sin and virtue and finds redemption for their flaws

Good job Marvel.

>It's her near sociopathic violent urges that makes her interesting.
The only reason she has those urges is because she had the mental patterns of a Kree warrior implanted in her by the psyche-magnetron that gave her powers. The PSYCHE part is always forgotten these days. At the start of her career the only reason she put on the suit was that she would black out and the Kree persona took over, hijacking her body and going into battle. It also had a deeply ingrained hatred of skrulls, which is why she went after them especially. However that aspect of her character was seriously toned down after her two personalities were integrated into each other early in her run, and they only flared up again because Brian Reed evidently didn't read those issues and thought they were a part of Carol's own personality.
Reading comprehension is important if you want to pretend to care about continuity as Reed did.
Joshua Sanders
The movies usually handle the characters better than the comics these days. Not always, but look at how one appearance in a movie restored the Vision to popularity after years when the comics had no idea what to do with him.
It's partly because the movies are free of all the baggage the comics have and can start fresh, but also movies are more prestigious than comics and have to please a worldwide audience instead of a few angry fans online.
Julian Fisher
I wouldn't care if Marvel writers weren't being forced on an editorial level to worry about selling movie tickets above writing quality stories
Owen Russell
Will she still be a closeted lesbian?
Ayden Robinson
It's the integration of all these disparate aspects into one cohesive story that should be the ideal, not just simply nuking it all and making something new.
Josiah Collins
Only if Chris Claremont gets to consult.
Jaxon Price
How about both.
Why not have governments and companies want superheroes to represent them so one gears up Captain Marvel to be this "Every Girl" Role-model. The problem is she is the opposite of what her public image makes her out to be so despite how hard she tries to hide that, it will eventually blow up in her face at some point.
I mainly want that because I want some heroes in the MCU to be kind of terrible people. It makes things easier to accept when they make heroes fight each other.
Jace Wood
Claremont Carol and Busiek Carol were the only really good ones. They should go with those.
Hudson Carter
Carol's part of the Air Force, so I could easily see them doing Top Gun style with heavily implied homoeroticism between her and Jess
Benjamin Wright
EMH Carol and her descendant Alpha Flight Carol too.
Robert Myers
>Look at Iron Man Still better than current comics Iron Man after the first Civil War
Jonathan James
>descendant Alpha Flight Carol
4 issues isn't enough to make something out of.
Nathaniel Cruz
No one is denying that but the reality of the MCU undermines OP's questions.
Blake Garcia
At least those 4 issues proved that current Carol can be improved when she's written by actual professional writers (some comic book writers are that, but others...). They won't be writing the movie but at least it gives reason to hope.
Liam Jones
Is the Air Force anywhere near as gay as the Navy, though?
