I was just comparing Carol post-CWI to Carol post-CWII, and there is a big difference. The first Carol slept with a co-worker to relieve the tension after her task force was destroyed by Skrulls in the Initiative. Today's Carol is so business as usual, like she can't relax for a minute, so I can see why she was ordered into therapy. There is no happy ending for Carol. Stark at least basked in the victory of CWI and had a hell of a time, because he could enjoy being DOS. Carol Danvers is like a female who thinks the Male establishment needs to be punished for its patriarchal stance on women.

I didn't take issue with Jess forgiving Carol so soon. She's a new mother, who can't get any sleep, so as a sleep deprived you tend to lose the importance of being mad. A new baby really puts your life into perspective when you can't do anything but drag yourself around. As the fur protesters say, who has the energy anymore?
If anything, it shows that Carol and Jess are important enough to each other to not hold grudges for long.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Most of that flashback was accurate to Carols history, except the Space Shuttle astronaut stuff. (Carol was only a security liaison for space flights before this). ANAD has updated a few histories but left other's alone. It doesn't really matter that she became the astronaut, except that if she did, it puts in doubt why she is so driven to keep proving herself, if she has already achieved that.
What the retcon does, is question how Carol got into a position where she was struck down by the Magnotron to get Kree powers? If she was an astronaut, she wouldn't have met Mar-Vell. Something had to have happened different there.

Were they ever that close, romantically? I saw some of those stories where they encountered each other, but you couldn't say it was Blake/Foster, or Stark/Potts level pining for each other. Carol just seemed to have a crush on Mar-Vell, but he was less enthusiastic? I could be wrong.
I am just going to throw this out there but what if the final issue shows that, either directly or indirectly, she does in fact kill Stark. How does this change things regarding her? Because lets face facts here, while we don't know what is going to happen we do know that her actions have left a mark in the people who were close to her. I mean look at Kamala and her life right now because of following her? Or Luke and Danny and what went down with them.
Certainly Ganke, in CWII Spiderman #10, thinks Stark Died from what Miles told him. That could translate into Stark actually being taken away and kept in a coma at a Stark secure location. Also, as some very legal looking gentlemen delivered that package to Riri of Starks AI to her, it looked like it was part of a Will being enacted.
i just finished to read... ok, it's not this new arc who will make Captain Marvel a must read. She is really the Hillary Clinton of super-heroes. Competent, but not very likable and interesting. And they need to stop saying to us that "she is the mightiest of the super-heroes", and showing it !

Well for those wanting some tension between Carol and Jess we just got a preview page in the Spider-Woman thread.
It's a good one.

Well, seems like Spider-Woman next issue(that happens before this one) is going to build up them getting back together a bit more so it doesn't feel like totally out of nowhere.
