Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) Appreciation - "Higher, Further, Faster, More!"

[brettc1]

It's perhaps best not to mention Carol's current actions in Civil War II on the appreciation thread, since for many of us there is little or nothing there to appreciate.

I don't think that makes sense. Will we have to stop talking about her current books because people don't appreciate the relaunches? About her appearance because some people prefer her Ms Marvel look? About anything she does on some book cause some think she's being written badly?

I think that you can mention part. Part of "appreciating" a character involves criticizing/critiquing when they're being written/portrayed poorly, at least imo. For example, the people who don't care much for the current BP book have no problem bringing it up over on the BP appreciation thread.

I've found plenty.

I agree its definitely fine to talk about things that concern you, or things you don't like about how a character is currently being handled. Most of that criticism comes from a place of love, after all. And, given the how these characters are handed from writer to writer to writer with different ideas and creative voices... there will always be times you love it and times you don't.

On the other hand... there's also a difference between constructive criticism/concern and hyperbole-ridden complaining. The latter does get a bit old, at times.

(I actually have very few opinions on how Carol is being handled. I sort of hit my upper limit on event fatigue last summer during Secret Wars... so I'm struggling to keep up with this one. If anything, I just wish Carol got a star turn in a big event BEFORE that happened.)

Nicole Perlman talks little about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, the article is pretty short and she doesn’t go to much detail here:

Perhaps the appreciation threads here work different,y than on the Wonder Woman boards.

So I just finished both Marvel Masterworks for Ms Marvel. Terrific read, terrific. You know what else? They were good.

I have some of Brian Reed's trades, but I think I'm going to give some Avengers a read before continuing my adventures with Carol.

"she’s her own person and she’s a great character."

If she is her OWN person, then why should the origin be changed??
It seems that her whole characteristics are denied

[Fokken]

Oh my.

I don't want to immediately jump to "butt hurt fan" or anything but.....I .... I mean...Green Lantern was absolute BALLS.
So....I mean... this would be Marvel's chance to take the similar themes there and do a GOOD job with them.

No alien poop cloud, as the villain for starters. That's an easy fix right there.

I'm not one to finger wag film adaptations but...I sure hope they don't just go an borrow some OTHER hero's origin and just say "Yeah, this is Carol's origin now"


<gasp>
Is CAROL going to be the first Cinematic INHUMAN?? awwwgawd.

DAMN YOU LANTERN!!!! You're RUINING everything long after your expiration!

[Johnrevenge]

Wait, what? She has the same origin than Green lantern? So according to Nicole Perlman, Carol got her powers from a dying alien that gave her a power ring... Really? That's too stupid...Now I'm starting to lose my faith in the movie...
