He never addressed the Young Avengers origin, but he never erased it either, so supposedly the Central Park incident still happened and still was what ultimately pushed her to become a hero. I don't think the Lemire origin was that bad because he didn't try to force the fangirl aspect of it, even if I preferred Kate being the one Young Avenger with no pre-existing tie to any other Avengers heroes. But it seems very possible that the MCU is going down that route.... I don't think her being inspired by him is inherently bad, but there's gotta be a balance. If they're trying to make Kate another Kamala Khan in terms of being a fangirl, that will definitely come off as a misunderstanding of the character.
And like... it's not like the fan aspect can't exist within the Young Avengers. Literally all of other founding members were supposed to be fanboys to some degree. So the fact that they had to take the ONE character who wasn't one and possibly turned her into that is just... why? Billy and Teddy are right there if they want someone to geek out over the Avengers, and their fans wouldn't complain because we know it was their thing in the comics anyway.
Ok, thanks for the explanation. It's hard keeping track of Marvel's messy timeline sometimes.
As for Genis, he is reportedly coming back for the current arc on the Captain Marvel book, which is dealing with multiple characters connected to the Cap. Marvel legacy. He even appeared in an upcoming cover, and it looks like Mar-Vell could be coming back for that arc too (he also got a cover). It's unclear how all of those alleged returns will be dealt with, though, and if any of them will be ''for real'' or something like the Marvel Legacies one-shots was.
