"Daughter of Hala by bloodright and by starlight."
Sounds like Stohl's taken the throwaway 'Princess Sparklefists' line too seriously. This is one step away from colourful flying ponies and unicorns that barf rainbows, as if they're aiming the book at a lower pre-teen reading age. I just don't like the predestined to become a hero shize either - it was much more interesting before when she was a 'mere' human who lifted herself up to become a fighter pilot/spy/security chief, all before gaining her powers. Dammit I've been enjoying the book up till now too.

I've seen things you posters wouldn't believe. Ad-spammers aflame off the shoulder of
rec.arts.sf.written. I watched cancel posts glitter in the ether near the usenet gateway.
All those moments will be lost in time... like beer in the rain. Time to unsubscribe.

That phrase does kinda remind me of the Sailor Moon theme tune... "fighting evil by moonlight!"

I heard Carol's origins was retconned the s**t out of in the new Captain Marvel issue. Is it Power Girl and Atlantis bad? Is it overcomplicated like Iron Man nowadays? Or what is it?

Carol's mom has been a kree soldier all along, the psyche-magnitron just "activated" her powers, not gave them to her. Her fascination with space is apparently her kree heritage or something, and her dad tried to keep her from flying because he was afraid she'd get hurt by the Kree.

Well, my coworker said this. Do you agree? Originally Posted by LordUltimus

and it tackles an interesting topic about a world that crushes young girls and makes them think they have to be something that they are not, and to go for things in life they don’t want to because men say so
it’s more complex than a Mar-vell DNA blast or a astronaut accident

Great artwork. But does the first outfit exist in continuity anymore? Officially does she start out more fully covered now? Originally Posted by juan678

Haven’t been able to get my issue yet. What about her brother, does her brother have a kree name? And will he be getting powers soon? Originally Posted by LordUltimus

If anything this is a much simpler origin, rather like Starlords, which given this book was meant as a comics gateway for the mcu is probably the pointLast edited by kilderkin; 10-17-2018 at 11:19 AM.
