Get a good writer and artist and give her long hair

stop making her the face of everything and stop telling people she is great/perfect/yaass queen

The first M Rated Mainline comic.
Drawn by Frank Cho

Relaunch #0

Have someone re-mindfuck her so the memories of the attention-seeking alcoholic come back.

Stop her from taking on the dyke cut.

>>Marvel "Hey look! It's Carol Danvers!"
>>Fans "Okay, why should I be interested in her?"
>>Marvel "Cause it's Carol Danvers!"
>>Fans "What does she do?"
>>Marvel "She kicks ass!"
>>Fans "How is that different than any other character?"
>>Marvel "Cause she's female!"
>>Fans "But there are lots of female heroes"
>>Marvel "But this one is Carol Danvers!"
>>Fans "Okay, so what's her story?"
>>Marvel "Errr, we're a litte unclear on that, cause we keep rearranging her origins."
>>Fans "Why?"
>>Marvel "Because we have to come up with some version that's salvageable for the movie"
>>Fans "Okay, but why should I read the book?"
>>Marvel "Because it's Carol Danvers and she kicks butt."

That's it. That's the problem. Carol is so bland and sterile that they have no clear direction on how they want to take her character or anything iconic to do with her. Look at her DLC for Lego Avengers:

youtube.com/watch?v=BsxfkOFQLDY

It's so bland. She has no supporting cast, she has no defining moments, and she has never done something with her powers to really make her be badass or speeches to make her seem like a leader.

She's just Carol Danvers. Kamala Khan has more qualities than her.

even her older comic appearances make her seem like a cunt. That time she got mind fucked into marrying deadpool was funny or that time she tried to shit on deadpool for saving the day.

>Nothing iconic
>Rogue, Mystique and Destiny

Relaunch but start with #2

You mean X-Men staples? Even Sabretooth started as an Iron Fist villain, but he's not remembered as one.

Give her a brain.
Put her hair down and drop that awful punk haircut.
Give her some decent villains.

Just make her the female superman, but like, don't point out the fact that she's a woman.

Maybe a joke every 6 issues, but really, she just needs to be inspiring to both sexes, just without the whole sucking her feminine cock an shit.

We rip off the movie Carol

>Just make her the female superman
Terrible idea.

Motherfucking Wolverine was originally a Hulk villain.

Just giving her a non-dyke haircut would improve her image a lot.
I really want to see what her hair will be like on the live action movie.

Start by giving her a status quo that lasts more than two minutes?

Exactly. So why would Rogue/Mystique/Destiny be a part of Carol's legacy?

okay so hear me out:

hot lesbian action

>WITHOUT relaunching to a #1
Uh... give it to DC? At this point I don't think Marvel would even understand those words.

that only works if you have a fanbase, all that would do is drive more males away at this point.

no I mean like make it full on porn

cute, domestic lesbian action?

DC doesnt even know what to do with their OWN Cap Marvel.

with dyke cut? eh

both long hair would be better

no, on-screen carpet-munching tits-flopping action

Give her back her long hair and stop her acting like such a cunt. It's that easy

Him and Courtney was one of the cutest things in the world though, my blood

Use that design, but give her longer hair. Then make her a little more hot-blooded, but also play up her self-esteem issues. So I guess her current characterization, but more exaggerated so it's actually entertaining.

Give her flaws again (Alcoholism, Narcassim, etc.). Hell, Wonder Woman has her own flaws too; why cant Carol? Address the problems in a well mannered fashion

And give her a boyfriend to keep her grounded, Rhodey didnt deserve that shitty death.

She was a Skrull all along.

they could make her go out with pete

but shes not pure anymore, shes a coalburner and pete has suffered enough being cucked by gwen.

Or Carol from a alternative universe

Doublemint dubs of truth.

Or a Dire Wraith.

Marvel needs more ROM

So she's perfect sjw. She needs to interact with new guys and girls.

>Current Carol was predicted a decade ago

>>Current Carol was predicted a decade ago
Your right

Basically this but they also need her to do something big to make her feel like she is a big deal.

From Captain Marvel 1 in like 2013 when they started trying to push her we are told she is a giant deal with a huge fanbase but outside of being an Avenger for years she did nothing to earn this. There was no moment that made her truly shine or stand out that she would garner such a fanbase or such respect. Sure she is an Avenger and people would like her but the way new books handle her its like she single highhandedly saved the earth from a world ending threat.

>faggots that don't like short hair

she needs a good writer, big enough so he can bypass editorial mandates
like Morrison

Don't hate short hair but hate the way her hair is drawn sometimes.

What drives me crazy is there is no set way to draw her hair artists keep drawing it differently it would be like if every book you currently saw Peter Parker in he jumped from short hair to a mullet then to a side cut the next time you saw him.

Coming from Marvel next fall, a new title for a great book, Everyone loves Captain Marvel.

Yes, this slice of life romantic comedy book will follow Carol Danvers as she tries to make it on her own as a cosmic hero in the big city, while dealing with the day to day struggles of a woman unlucky in love.

She'll have to contend with,
The courting Kree as they try to convince her to accept her destiny to be the mother of a perfect warrior Kree race, by courting her and hilariously trying to infiltrate into human culture to sneak into her dating app line up

That scamp you love to hate Mystique, whose favorite hobby is making Carol miserable. You'll laugh as she turns out to be behind everyone from the barista who always serves her cold coffee to all those tinder dates that never show up. Even a few murders so Mystique can take their place, that's SO Raven.

Alien menaces like the Skrulls or the Brood who keep invading, and finding new ways to be killed by Carol Danvers.

On Carol's quest to be the hero she was always meant to be, she'll be joined by a few friends,
That mixed-up screwball Jessica Drew aka Spider-Woman, a septuple secret agent with massive parental issues whose life is so complicated it makes Carol look put together.

Her sassy urban friend Monica Rambeau, she certainly moved passed Carol taking the Captain Marvel name from her and won't bring it up again and again.

Her on-again-off-again heartthrob, Wonder Man.


Guest Appearances by,
Tony Stark, as things get serious when Carol feels the need to drink again.

Kamala Khan, Carol's #1 superfan who quickly wears on Carol's nerves with her obsessive and adorably annoying persistence.

>Liking short hair.

Is it possible to do a negative 1 issue?
Like, instead of relaunching it, just give everyone five bucks.

Stop pretending anyone outside of tumblrites who don't actually read or buy comics ever cared about her beyond fap bait.

I'll be interested to see what Capcom does with her.

There's not nearly enough diversity in the industry.
So I vote we bring in an asian writer and artist.
But make sure they also have a talented background.
Maybe try to court the manga audience which trounces America.

That's because Claremont liked taking characters from his other books and using them in the X-Men.

Look, the hair is now irreversibly psychologically attached to the idea that she sucks.

It doesn't matter if you like the way it looks, it still has to go as a step in altering perception of her as a character.

Bring Marcus back and make her fuck her own rapist son again. Maybe now she'll get pregant with her grandson-son and he will rape her.

this

long hair and bikini would be a game changer

Brian Reed's run is very meta-textual about the Carol push. Running throughout the series with varying degrees of focus is a plot about how Carol is striving to be seen as a major hero post-House of M and her use of a PR firm to raise her profile.

If anything. Carol is important to them more than they are her.

This

The movie will fix her. Once she gets credibility with the normies, she's set.

Have her "quit" being a super hero. Mine would be a relaunch, but it would not be "Captain Marvel" Just Carol Danvers.

Have her fake her death or something....
She settles down, gets a job, gets a normie b/f. She can't resist being a hero though, and makes a new identity with a mask. She's like classic 30's superman. Showing up, saving people, stopping crime, juggling her work, b/f and secret identity. Build her from the bottom on up and re-introduce her to marvel heroes slowly.

Keep her the way she is to continue to cash in on triggering normies with her agenda. She's probably the most brought up female of 2016

long hair

stop trying to be leader

>The courting Kree as they try to convince her to accept her destiny to be the mother of a perfect warrior Kree race, by courting her and hilariously trying to infiltrate into human culture to sneak into her dating app line up

Didn't they already try to do that at some point in the comics? They seriously must have been desperate to want to make Carol their Queen.

TFW we will never have Kree Empress Carol vs Skrull Queen Jess looking Veranke

Make Carol Ms. Marvel Again!

They are X-Men characters now and they don't rely on Carol and she doesn't rely on them.

That said she will most likely inherit Mar-Vell's villains, she already fought Yon-Rogg and Minerva and there has been a lot of emphasis on her being a half Kree lately.

There was also a shape shifting villain introduced in her comic recently so that might be a replacement for Mystique which would be a good idea on the writer's part.

Of all these bullshit "How duh we fix them" threads, this one is the most moronic.

Modern Carol *IS* the fix.
Pay attention: Way back in the long-long ago, Carol was the forgotten Avenger.
She had been Captain Marvel's sidekick, then she became an Avenger, then some writers got sick and tired of that progressive 1970s overreach of feminism, and lobotomized, then literally raped her out of the Avengers.
When she came back she was the alcoholic C-lister in the background of Avengers reunions.
That's where she was when DisAssembled and House-of-M gave her character a new empowered spotlight.
Next, and thank the Bendis for this, she became the lead character in Mighty Avengers and stayed a major Avenger ever since.
Now I can hear you thinking; "But user, I'm talking about the skimpy costume and Barbie-hair, why can't we have those nice things?"
The answer to that is that (A) Marvel has a compressed timeline, not a stopped timeline: you're asking for a middle-aged woman to dress like a twenty-year-old bikini model, credulity can become strained.
... and (B) the storyline right now is about Carol becoming the big scary might-makes-right oppressive superhero who overreaches. That Lez-hair and combat jumpsuit is part of the characterization of a superhero who's gone too far and become militarized ...
as evidenced by her busting IronMan's armor and ass to prove her aw-Thor-rit-ta.

This is a prolonged storyline, follow it's progress, don't demand the story be undone to keep a status quo that wouldn't even exist without this storyline.
Remember: the alternative status quo was alcoholic rape victim C-list superhero background character in a swimsuit and domino mask ... in her thirties.
This is better than that, and the story's not done yet.

Stop trying to desexualise her

She lost everything that made her popular back then
Tits? Gone
Ass? Gone
Thick long hair? Gone

Right except marvel aren't putting her forward as a gone too far maniac. Despite that's how she's acting and has been written, marvel are still putting her forward as a do no wrong perfect hero who's the greatest who ever lived. Cyclops is there let's have everyone call him Hitler character.

>taking the intern-written solicits seriously

Give her a cause she can believe in. Carol is henceforth the superhero dedicated to saving all the baby hamsters of the world from being cannibalized by their mothers.

Is Sup Forums for real here?
She comicbook-death MURDERED IronMan!
She got Hulk comicbook-death murdered!
She imposed precog martial law in a whole Minority Report police state dick move!
She is not a Rightclops level of right here, heck, she's not even up to the level of actual ethical standards portrayed by Rightclops in the comics.
She was the villain in the last Civil War book.
I'm telling you that she did go too far.

Thing is, if it was executed well and let itself be tongue-in-cheek, I'm enough of a irony-guzzling chuckle-fuck to actually enjoy this.

Honestly not a terrible idea. A manga writer who gets the West with a decent western artist. Would work, or not?

Have her realise that she's fucking everything up. She needs time to get her shit together, so she heads off to Kree space as the human ambassador to the Supreme Intelligence.
Queue cosmic adventures in Kree space
>Mar'Vell was the Great Traitor to the Kree race, so despite Supreme Intelligence not giving a shit, the Kree people HATE her. And fear her - because every single member of his blood line has gone god-mode and threatened the universe, and she willing took on his name! Looney tunes, these humans, I tell ya!
>Nova (Rider) swings by on a new Nova recruitment drive. He doesnt think much of her either, because where was she when he was fighting the Annihilation Wave? Kree love Nova, he's rockstar Jesus/older-brother-who-lets-your-ride-his-motorbike
>Use the series to explore the Kree empire (the sexiest star empire there ever was, not those Shiar dumbshits), but also to explore Carol. Maybe, I dunno, give her a character

Who knows, if the stories are good enough, she could earn a cosmic rep like Nova or Quasar, and come back to Earth where she is oddly small-time.

This and long hair is all we need.

I like that in her solo where even the SWORD crew hates her outside of the one fangirl on board. It's still the promo stuff that's a problem when she is still CAROL OF MURDER.

Long hair and no mohawks, damn straight.
>Carol throw down with Ronan - because when two unstoppable pricks come together, its fighty-fight time. Yay!
>Doc Minerva all scheming and bitchy, Captain Atlas all stoic and manly like your Dad should be, the Lunatic Legion, and the mutha-loving Kree Starforce, son!
>Supremor gently leading her towards being a better person, because she is half-Kree, and say what you will about the Supreme Intelligence, but he loves his children. All of them. If only they would let him die...

GENIUS

There's nothing to fix.
You just don't like the direction Marvel has taken her.
I love the design, so I'm happy as can be.

There are plenty of other comics I don't bother reading, but I don't whinge about them and demand they be changed. I just don't read 'em.

>>>Marvel "Errr, we're a litte unclear on that, cause we keep rearranging her origins."
RAPED BY HIS OWN FUTURE SON... YEAH, THERE IS NO COMING BACK FROM THAT. SHE HULK WOULDA BE A BETTER OPTION FOR A FEMALE HERO MOVIE

There are tons of dodgy character moments for all the Marvel Heroes, in particular during the 1970's - and the less said about the 90's the better.
You're just cherry picking one characters stupid moments, because you're a whingy li'l cunt.

>There's nothing to fix
>You just don't like the direction Marvel has taken her.
These two statements contradict one another.
>There are plenty of other comics I don't bother reading, but I don't whinge about them and demand they be changed
Freedom of speech motherfucker, have you heard about it? The customer is always right, how about that?

You clearly suffer from a lack of reading comprehension.
Enjoy your impotent anger.

If something sucks, the solution is not to ignore it, it's to let the people doing it know what they're doing wrong.

Carol's overall been great since KSD left, though.

Give her a good cock to ride and become a proper woman.

This so much. We love girl characters.
We just hate feminist hype bullshit and characters with no personality.
Just make them fucking people already!
Ewing is handling three females at once in USAvengers and they each have a voice, personality and purpose far beyond Carol despite having little panel time.
She-Hulk is having a #1 resting solely on her personality and we've been lapping that shit up alright.
Carol's skin-deep hero cutout persona just bores people to tears.
Hell, she's the most interesting when talking to Spider Mama in one of their spats over nothing.
Fuck, it's so easy to do! Just decide on anything to give her in a permanent fashion to develop in relation to.

This post reeks of a CBR apologist.

See, the mistake you're making is pretending her current development is a natural progression instead of the cheap stunt it is. She's being pushed because she's the only superheroine Marvel owns who was unknown enough they could mold her into a new character, whose film rights weren't locked down by Fox or Sony. If they could have pushed Valkyrie, Tigra or even Squirrel Girl, they would have.

Don't you talk about "prolonged storylines" when they first thing that happened to her after putting on the jumpsuit was getting her memory erased. It's a feat that now, five years after the marketing push began, they've given her a writer who attempts to portray her as anything more than "STRONK badass female", lackluster as that currently is as well.

>Your opinion only matters if it's positive
Glad to see we have a Marvel spokesman in the thread.

Great is a vast overstatement. It's a start, but too little too late.

>li'l cunt.
congrats virgin boy, that line is the closest you are gonna be in you whole life to a cunt, enjoy your crusty socks

>Your opinion only matters if it's positive
>Glad to see we have a Marvel spokesman in the thread.

You lack reading comprehension too it seems.

They do? I don't recall that from the storytime.

Obama didn't seem to think so.

I think that one scene angered people more than anything else around her recently, and it's a pretty good argument against "Oh they're setting her up as a militarized hero gone too far on purpose."

Combine with the above comedy idea.
Where In The World Is Carol Danvers?!
It's all a big game of Carol hiding, making up identities on the fly and trying to escape fame, foes and fans alike while her very own Zenigata chases her across the globe, trying to prove it's her.
>cue jazz soundtrack and jewel heists around the globe

Long hair and bigboobs are the key here

Loose the leader persona.

This sounds fun though. I would read that.

Why? Is she popular or good enough to deserve our attention?

According to Marvel she is

Cause that's how comics work

Marvel wants to make her an A lister but this triggers Sup Forums neckbeards.

>it's a pretty good argument against "Oh they're setting her up as a militarized hero gone too far on purpose.
Norman Osborne was at one point the shoo-in for next president until Loki fucked with him. hell Loki himself nearly won the most recent election but chose to botch it at the last minute to make and point to a woman whose house he once wrecked and to extract an unnamed favor from Trump
and I seem to recall both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan had canonical under-table deals with supervillains while in office

being told you've got good shot at making POTUS in MU frankly not as flattering as you think it is

YES! YOU WILL LOVE HER! PHYSICALLY!

Well, duh. The character is nothing special per se but they keep shoving her down our throats; even worse, they turn her into a fascist and we're supposed to root for her? Ike pls
