Preparing to re-appear in a so-called "marvel comic" with a godawful look accompanied with a godawful name.
Considering just how few prominent women of color Marvel comics have, this was awful.
Captain Marvel exceeded the quota of having a woman of marvel who happens to be black lead a super hero team in the 616 marvel universe.
That quota was 1, as in the marvel character Storm. They didn't need 2 of those.
To be clear, I fully expect the movie to focus on Carol but the fact that Marvel changed the name of Captain Marvel 2 to The Marvels shows a certain regard for Monica that the comics never had.
The focus is on Vers, yes.
"Captain Marvel 2" IS showing a certain regard to the very first Captain Marvel woman.
According to the true history of marvel comics Captain Marvel 1 is Mar-Vell with the secret identity of Walter Lawson.
In the MCU Captain Marvel 1 is Mar-Vell with the secret identity of Wendy Lawson as portrayed by Annette Bening.
According to the true history of marvel comics Captain Marvel 2 is the very first Captain Marvel woman with the secret identity of Monica Rambeau.
The Marvels are:
Mary Marvel aka Mary Batson aka Carol Danvers
Captain Marvel aka Billy Batson aka Monica Rambeau
Captain Marvel Jr. aka Freddy Freeman aka Kamala Khan
Please, no one should misintepret this as another "Carol Danvers/Brie Larson" sucks thread (some people on social media are sooooooooooooooooooo obsessed with Brie Larson that I really worry about their mental states)
All submit to the glory and grandeur which is Brie Larson.
