Marvel Teases Captain Carter Series Announcement

[Will Evans]

What if (see what I did there) Captain Carter gets so popular that they bring her into the 616 like they did Spider-Gwen?

I think she'd seem even more redundant than Gwen is right now.

That’s never stopped Marvel or DC before.
Though we did just get two new female “Captain Americas” this past year.

And STILL no Steve ongoing….disappointing…but it’s the Big Two, nothing new…

I assume Steve will get something when this mini with Iron Man ends. Hopefully.

Especially since Coates literally just brought back 616!Peggy.

I mean she is getting her own movie

Yeah, but she can't really hold an ongoing any more and doesn't really appear as much.

Why are we even paying these people any mind at this point? Lmao.

Because a healthy amount of Marvel creators spend a ton of time on there and care deeply about what they think.

Nothing new, just another Spider-gwen situation

Btw the twitter side mad at this isn't the "I hate diversity" side but the pro-diveristy and "SJW's" side

The logic is Sam as Cap should be the focus but as soon as he got the mantle in the MCU Peggy is getting a push and that makes Marvel rac*st

Here’s to hoping. Not a woke version either.

Twitter is fucking mad about this for some reason

What is there to be mad at? I mean really

[Drops Of Venus]

Wait, Jamie McKelvie is the WRITER? That's.... different. Is that the first time he's writing a comic or was I just super out of the loop and didn't know he wrote too?

I can see the logic with this, and to a degree I can see why this is a little awkward. Most of it is due to timing and calendar awkwardness. Because of how everything has been compressed, fans have had little time to sit with and explore Sam as Captain America. Very shortly after it happened, the marketing machine kept turning and the focus was very quickly on What if? and a new person taking a Captain mantle, and Captain Carter was very much a central part of the focus. I think we’ve almost gotten the same amount of screen time with both of them as Captains. Now she’s getting her own mini, whereas Sam suiting up as Cap again was very much ensemble-focused.

Putting all of that together, I can see why someone sensitive to the issues. There’s always been a lot of discourse about centering the needs and thoughts of white women over black men, and it’s a very complicated and occasionally dark history. I imagine the discourse might be worse if we see Hayley Atwell suit up as Captain Carter in a film before Sam as Captain America gets any screentime in Cap 4 or elsewhere.
