No, it wasn't. Stop being wrong so often, you seem incapable of finding faults in Marvel's decisions.
Me too. Sometimes after decades, a character needs a refresh.
Let's not pretend that origins themselves are ever interesting.
Whether it's "fell into a cave full of bats" or "got bitten by a spider" or "is an actual alien" they're all unremarkable.

DCUniverse unfortunately. Check her out, later this season on Titans!!!
Super powered Brett Butler was a good look for Carol.
She shot the man's dog
Don't think they could do anything to make some people like her or even give her a chance. Not a huge deal imo, she doesn't need the most unique or crazy origin.
OP
OP
Just read the issue, it wasn't particularly bad tbh (I like the book itself though).
I mean, if all the dumb shit Carol has been through, this ranks really low, and it doesn't really undo KSD's run or anything.
The only egregious part that really strains my suspension of disbelief is that her mom is supposed to be a badass Kree warrior but she never revealed her secret through all the crises Earth has known, but now that there's a Kree redshirt gunning for them, she has to come out.
I'll choose to believe Valeria rewrote that bit one day for fun when no one was looking.

"Skrull invasion? Not my problem."
It's basically this over decades:
Not even that, she ain't check in on her comatose daughter ?"Skrull invasion? Not my problem."
It's basically this over decades:
Marvel citizens are the real villains. Just look at how the X-Men and Spider-Man get treated. Even Captain America has seen some stuff.Not even that, she ain't check in on her comatose daughter ?
I really wonder how she's going to be in the MCU, cuz if shes anything like the comic that's going to be a pretty dull movie. I trust MCU though. they basically relaunched tony stark and made him what he is today.
idk why they chose to redo the origin story now when no ones really looking at that book however

Well that would follow her Predessor
Can't wait for this guy and Wiccan to make it into the MCU
We're close.
It says in the OP that it seems like a response to Supergirl's alter ego being Kara Danvers.
Carol Danvers and Kara Danvers and Car-Ell and Kal-El?
I've heard people refer to her as Marvel's Superman before, this is a little on the nose.
I'm not super familiar with the character but I'm amused by all the people saying this is the least of the character's worries.
Tell me more about how messed up her comics history is.

Straight and to the point.
While I'm sure her origin in the film will take its own liberties with the source material, I doubt that this specifically is going to be it; there's no indication that Carol's mom is a major character in it, and this wouldn't be the first time Marvel Comics has made a major retcon to a character's origin leading up to their MCU debut that didn't bear much resemblance to their film origin.
You seem to be personally offended that not everyone shares the same opinions as you.
I have a feeling you're gonna be wrong. Don't know if likes mean a ton but the trailer getting a million is something positive for it.
The general public -- which is the majority of people who see MCU films -- know nothing about this comic stuff.
Thinking this will be a dud is crazy.
Which source material are you talking about? Specific runs? Books? Takes on characters?
I love the films but there are runs in the comics that are head over heels better than anything that has been put to screen.
This constant retconning in super hero comics, influenced or not by super hero movies, is why I'm glad I never got super invested in them.
More as a cohesive narrative, than individual issues. The MCU feels planned where it's very obvious that some of the comic "twists" have Ben total ass pulls (paradoxically sometimes to better market movies...)
Says the one who started this chain of events demanding someone 'get over it'
The scope is so different that the MCU is more cohesive by default. Focusing on a smaller cast of characters and actually having a plan that from the outside doesn't seem to have changed much does them wonders.
Will be interesting to see how things change with the X-men eventually entering the fray.
Imagine if Marvel had just worked on building up the good female characters they have, instead of trying to spruce up the one garbage tier character they had that just happened to be blond, white and had a cosmic power set.
They had to change everything about Ms Marvel/Warbird/Captain Marvel to make her stick and the jury is STILL out on whether it would have worked over just promoting someone else with less baggage.

This whole character was a mistake. The o oh time she was remotely cool was what her memories were stolen and she was Binary.
Stop holding Alpha Flight hostage in your shitty book.

Nah, I don't that's the same thing as being obsessed over a story decision that happened literally a decade ago. At this point, it's ridiculous to still be upset about it, especially given that ASM was largely great since then.
Either way, Fantastic, your reply to me didn't make sense.
I see. Theyre combining her origin story with that of the original Captain Marvel.
No.
"I'm going to pretend they aren't comparing my demanding that other people think the way I do to my accusing someone of being offended other people don't think the way they do and instead deflect'
Oh hush you!I think you may be mistaken there.
Accept no substitutes.
I mean I thought it was a pretty dumb decision to do it the way they did but having people still complain about it and stop themselves from reading Spider-man altogether is just asinine. The only way to make them happy is if they have a time machine and prevent OMD from ever happening. I mean I get their anger and frustration but that isn't going to stop me from reading forever.
You mean a thing that literally no one in this topic has said they've done?
