Generic and vague powers
Generic back story
Ugly look
Seriously whats the appeal of this character?
She's the best character Marvel has and all her runs have been phenomenal
Hope this helps OP
Appeal? Don't know. She's Marvel's best attempt at a "Wonder Woman" given that she's not tied down to a team and the original Captain Marvel is practically forgotten. Most of their options are tied up with X-Men. She's really just a boring flying brick. Back in the day she was fun due to fuckups, murder, and a drinking problem. But you can't give character flaws to her today unfortunately
she's a woman
Every single fucking time the same question and always the same canned answer, Jesus fuck why do you keep making this retarded thread, you care more about her then the fans do
>But user she has no fans hurdurr
Yeah I know, I know all about that, goddamn it
>cope, seethe harder tranny, etc etc
Seriusly, what's the point of OP?
>Can't do a proper bait thread
>Is a retard
>Ugly as fuck
she has a unique backstory.
No other character has had the letters "El" before, and was raised by a lighthouse keeper
didn't she get raped by her own son or some shit
She has the personality of a man, literally. They wanted to find a tough woman in the airforce to base her character on, but they couldn't find any psych dyke bitch so they simply decided to write Chuck Yeager in drag, because he was the only man manly enough for what they wanted.
Before that she was generic pretty/likable female superhero, so they decided to make her a crotchety old man played by a woman.
Indeed.
That poster is just doing that retarded "buh we all luv Carl!!" meme
Nobody fucking gives a fuck about Avengers #200 and this is the only place that uses that story to shitpost.
But it still happened, which means she has bad comics.
This, obviously. Few other posts are as lame these days.
>I'm bored. Fuck this bitch.
Ok!
Yeah and you couldn't even name it until I told you, which by the way is a single issue with no credited writer, because no one wanted to take credit for it.
sorry I couldn't remember the exact issue number nigga
IT'S THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE REMEMBER THE NUMBER. Fuck.
This just goes to show that even for shitposting, you guys are casual as hell.
Her mentor is literally based on Jackie Cochran you dumb fuck
>she has bad comics
>AVENGERS #200
What's not clicking for you user
>She's really just a boring flying brick
funnily enough, she's the most "DC" of any of the Marvel characters
>But you can't give character flaws to her today unfortunately
t. has literally never picked up a Carol book
There's no appeal, that's why Marvel had a difficult time promoting the character. She's been rebooted like 5 times in like 5 years.
You don't read DC
Oh do tell me what character flaws modern Carol has
>Oh do tell me what character flaws modern Carol has
>carolhaters are all casuals confirmed
Not sure we can say she’s not tied down to a team especially when she’s almost always on an Avengers team with the only recent time she wasn’t being the stretch from post-Secret Empire to Aaron’s Avengers run. Also the only point she’s had a continuous ongoing has been since she was made into Captain Marvel. Sure she had solos as Ms. Marvel, but they would come and go
>as if that invalidates what I said.
Nigga I don't read the big 2, not every one that reads comics is a marvel fag
Oh look at that, can't answer. No surprise there you (You) whore.
She has the advantage of not being tied down to a team like most of the X-girls and Sue Storm. Those are often packaged deals
DC characters have had character flaws since the 80s
stop getting all your comic info off of youtube
her flaws arent played like flaws in the comics. readers undertand theyre flaws bc we arent ideologues and women. rn shes played as shes too strong for her own good. which is hilarious from the outside
yas queen
Are you honestly asking if the gun-ho, recovering alcoholic soldier who's on the verge of losing her powers has any flaws?
And that was all from her current run by the way, not anything older.
Monica did the "female Captain Marvel" thing better and Genis did the "evil Captain Marvel" thing that she's gonna be doing better.
Carolthread right.
Confirmed for not having actually read Monica Rambeau's origins if you truly think "female cop who accidentally gets powers from a Roxxon drill manned by a South American dictator parody who didn't even know who Mar-Vell was before telling the mantle" was a better Captain Marvel.
I guess you could say he loved her a little bit too much.
>Character flaws somehow end up with her getting rewarded.
user, that is not how character flaws work, the flaws are supposed to be fucking her shit up with her failing because of them, or passing despite them, with character development to use to get rid of them or at the very least for the character to know what is wrong with them through self reflection. All civil war 2 taught me about her is that she is a retard who is power hungry and will try to kill anyone in her way, it taught me she was actually a villain who everyone calls a hero, which would have been interesting if the story itself was self aware over this, but it tried to show off all her actions and choices in a good light, especially with her gaining that leadership position in the end.
Is that image supposed to have any point to this discussion? Because you just have her fighting She Hulk without context. And "recovery alcoholic" is practically nothing if she's never really struggling with it. It's a lazy "oh I USED to drink" thing that gives the illusion of a flaw. Now if she still drank from time to time, that would be a flaw.
she's a great character. A hard ass military person who is routinely her own worst enemy. She is sexy and determined and powerful
It's room the same issue where
And "recovery alcoholic" is practically nothing if she's never really struggling with it
This is brought up. But fine! Pointless thread anyway, I already said my piece and it's always the same bullshit.
>And "recovery alcoholic" is practically nothing if she's never really struggling with it.
Try reading a comic, casualgate
Carol was better as Ms. Marvel because she was actually allowed to be something more than "GURL POWER".
>She has the personality of a man, literally.
no she doesn't. one of the best things about her is her very girly relationship with Spider-Woman
>wanting others to read cape shit from the big two
Fucking board is full of shit taste, find some kino instead like those hold horror comics back in the time before the medium was fucking raped by that retarded code.
every character has had a bad comic, but the saving grace of that is that Claremont took control over her again (since he wrote her old run) and put her on the X-Men for the greatest X-Men run he ever did. He gave her her greatest enemy and turned her into Binary. All of that happened cause of Claremont's fury at Avengers 200
Then next time post THAT page. And if it's brought up but never really handled properly, you get shit like Aaron's stupid creative decisions he thinks he can get away with just because he pointed it out
>Calling someone a casual for not reading modern Carol
But thank you for actually providing a decent page.
Read the whole post before replying, you faggot.
Apology accepted
>every character has had a bad comic
then you can't say she has no bad comics like suggests
>Oh do tell me what character flaws modern Carol has
why don't you read the current run you casual. She's battling depression and alcoholism right now.
He turned her into Binary so that he could shove her off into space, thinking nobody would ever use her again because they don't want to write for a truly omnipotent character.
then why are you bitching in this thread, go back to your horrorverse thread
Not him faggot, now stop slurping up diarrhea and find some kino like some old Judge Dredd, or something. And if it has to be cape shit, Invincible was pretty alright, don't bother with the boys though, Garth has the writing capabilities of a 14 year old.
Her back story is just as good as any other major super hero and her look, especially in the new comics is very easily readable and simple while still being different enough from other hero to be instantly recognizable. I get that taste is subjective and not liking her design doesn't make you wrong but you can't argue that it isn't well designed
As to the main appeal of her, I don't think they went hard enough in the movies but in the comics it's the scope of her powers and what that means. CD is easily one of the most powerful players from earth but she . This is someone who's able to manipulate not just heat and gravity but also absorb magical energy travel faster than sound or create the power equivalent of nukes with her hands.
Even with all this power though, she can't just stomp her way through the universe and that illustrates just how big and intimidating the universe of marvel actually is.
In a similar way Deadpools ability to break the fourth wall and operate with in meta-mechanics of the story, her character insane abilities over physical limitations just opens up possibilities for new stories that characters who need a more limited power set just can't. I really hope they play up how insane her powers are and how the fact that she can't stay on earth all the time means there's much bigger fish to fry.
Because I am tired of the same couple of capeshit threads desu. It is always muh dc, muh marvel, its all the same fucking shit.
you are a moron, he took her to space cause she works well in space and he liked stuff with the Starjammers
>no one likes to write omnipotent characters
ya, no one wants to write Superman, ok
Carol didn't even have energy powers when she was first created. Those were a leftover effect from after she got depowered as Binary.
And when he was done with her, he was confident that nobody else would use Carol and thus would not throw her into another Avengers #200 situation.
And Superman has Kryptonite as a constant crutch for every poor writer to fall back on.
>her character insane abilities over physical limitations just opens up possibilities for new stories that characters who need a more limited power set just can't
you have no idea what you're talking about do you
I have to ask, are you a Broly fag? Not a Dragon Ball Super Broly fag but the OG Broly. You're fixation on nothing but powers and being the strongest kinda makes me think you are one.
What the fuck is a Broly
go watch the Dragonball z Broly movies. They are right up your alley
That's not from her current run
>doesn't know what reaction images are
go back to /reddit/
>trying to show the appeal of modern carol
>can't even post a reaction image of her and resorts to using classic carol
Nice goalpost move there chief.
>Generic and vague powers
>Generic back story
>Ugly look
Thats the J-Team
the pages were already posted why should I repost for you illiterate faggots?
Not him but even though I've contributed to some reaction images pulled from her current run, I really don't have time to post full pages just to prove a point, that's retarded. If you're interested just read it, I'm not getting paid to convince fuckers on the internet to like one of my favorite characters.
didn't they already do the alcoholic super hero thing with Ironman
>I really don't have time to post full pages just to prove a point, that's retarded
It's actually REALLY easy. Get off your moral high horse and actually defend your point, you fucking faggot. Otherwise don't engage in the conversation at all.
I'm on my phone. I'm not about to hop in my computer, uncompress the cbr files, find the pages that show you just HOW flawed she is, re-encode them (because of the size) and post them just so you can say "hmmmmm but that's not flawed enough".
fuck off, YOU get off your ass and read a comic. It's not our job to spoon feed your lazy ass. Just up and stop complaining about shit you don't know about
Mommy
Right.
Marvel team-up preview
I'm pretty sure you can just go to readcomicsonline or just fucking google image it. But that's fine. Merely making a point
I'm not complaining, I'm trying to have a discussion here. Excuse me for being burnt out on the Carol push these past few years and not checking out ANOTHER one of her runs. But if it actually got her shit together, then yeah, I'll probably check it out
Marvel ignored that completely.
She has suffered exactly zero consequences as a result of her behavior.
>Generic back story
I am sure you can name a few other characters with that backstory.
Okay. Pussy this, I want to see if it's truly Mar-Vell or a fakeout.
>I'm pretty sure you can just go to readcomicsonline
Ironically, you could do the same thing too.
Captain Atom.
well i mean why would you
unless you're going to hide them in the inventory there's literally no reason to
>Ironically, you could do the same thing too.
So you just ignored the rest of that post? You're not exactly encouraging people to read Carol's new book with your attitude. But I'll forgive that, and actually check it out if they managed to unfuck her character
I meant post, not pussy. Fuck y'all.
>She has suffered exactly zero consequences as a result of her behavior.
I think everybody was busy with Captain America fucking taking over the entire planet in Secret Empire to care.
what? not even close. Captain Atom is the template for Dr Manhattan
Ok unironic question. Why should people read Captain Marvel's comics over anyone elses
Oh.
>whaaa spoon feed me
fuck off. read it or don't, I don't care, just quit your whining if you don't want to read it
>You're not exactly encouraging people to read Carol's new book with your attitude
I don't care if you do, I don't get paid for that. I simply directed you to read it earlier, if you can't make the simple effort of going to a site and check it, that's on you. But in truth you never really wanted to do that, just wanted to shitpost with the same routine. Nobody cares if you don't like her, you're just one among many, big whoop.
Because they're the best ones.
ah, so that's the twist. cool.
What is wrong with the little girls face?
Ohhhhhhhhhhh...
Well fuck me sideways.
>Go on…
Nice
I prefer Wonder Woman
She's got the downs.
See, I'm not the OP, and no I don't care for shitposting. Why the fuck would I want to make this shithole of a board even worse than what it is? But what you two geniuses fail to realize is that YOU are also part of the reason why this godforsaken board is so terrible with your elitist bullshit. Marvel pushes Carol for years with weak bullshit reasons for the sake of Wonder Woman/DC petty reasons, people naturally get turned off and ignore several of her runs, and now you two want to throw out the word casual and shitposter because someone is skeptical that they might have salvaged things since then? Fuck you. I didn't ask to be spoonfed, I asked you change my mind. All I asked was "what are Carol's flaws?" because last time I checked writers weren't concerned with that shit. But no, you're both trigger happy faggots preemptively assuming its the same shitposting song and dance that YOU also enable on this very board. I'll check out her current book, no thanks to idiots like you. Christ, you wonder why we can't talk about anything on here.
Kamala is so yummy here
Haven't you considered that the "elitist bullshit" you're complaining about comes from years of relentless shitposting about the character that gets people on their toes whenever someone asks naively "what's the appeal" of the character?
we answered your questions multiple times, even posted pages from it. You want a storytime? Go to readcomicsonline. We aren't being elitist at all, we answered you and you just haven't taken the answers to be read and still keep complaining. so fuck off.
NASA carol is cute. Cute!
I get why people are jaded, especially in a thread like this we've seen multiple times. You posted ONE valid page from her run which I openly admitted to being fine, and even commented I would check out her run. No thanks to your fucking attitude I might add. So YOU fuck off.
you would have a point if Classic Carol and Modern Carol were anything alike
>white woman
yikes
They're literally the exact same
they don't act the same or even look the same
They are, just because she's not wearing a leotard it means they're different, fuck off, different writers have different takes but the core is the same and we're tired of showing it.
whats the core of her character?
Not again. Go read the wiki.
she still very much acts the same. and characters go through costume changes all the time
read the thread, it's been posted many times
wiki is not an accurate way to know about a character.
give me some comic recommendations
So if I break some random guy's leg for no reason it should be ignored if someone else goes on a shooting spree?
Yeah, the bitch never suffers for her actions, you're just trying to deny it.
Most sjw characters never have to face the consequences of thier actions. It wouldnt be empowering if they did.
Go read the wiki.
Not sure. But marvel pushes it too hard. Is kind of sad. Same with Kamala.
On the other side, black cat has great sales.
I know.
I don't buy into the sjw BS though, I just blame female writers and the fact people are afraid to anger women by doing anything interesting with female characters.
nigga wiki is not a reliable source of information
are you one of those people that don't read comics and just get all their info off of wiki?
No faggot, I'm tired of spoonfeeding, but okay since you're so fucking intent on this, go read Cockrum's Brood Saga with the Starjammers (where she debuted as Binary), also her Claremont/Conway run where most of her core classic stuff was introduced, then read KSD's run from 2012-2014; you could then skip to Thompson's current run that began this year, 9 issues so far.
thank you for actually posting some comics I can read so I can make my own decision on them
it's not spoon feeding as much as I want to see why you like this character so much
Also while you're reading Cockrum, fetch the X-Men Spotlight on the Starjammers #1-2, where she also has a prominent role (basic summary is that she's going crazy with power and feels held back by the team until she decides to go to earth).
And read Quasar's Galactic Storm arc, she did cool stuff there too.
I hope you realize you've been talking to several people
I'm just tired.
You either like her or else you hate women. Got it?
>so humble
>so stunning
>so brave
>so inspiring to young women
I find that hard to believe.
I’m an absolute normalfag when it comes to comic shit since I mostly watch MCU movies but this character takes the cake for being absolute shit.
>Is super powerful because reasons
>Unlike other marquee characters her power set has no draw backs
>She doesn’t have to train to get stronger
>Everyone in the movie likes her despite her doing nothing of note to make them like her
>She can’t quip for shit and is carried by everyone on film including her best friend
>Easily defeats everyone
>Has the personality of a cinder block
>Was forced into Endgame and wasn’t even used in a clever to make up for that
So now why would anyone read comics of this fucking character unless they just hated themselves?
hey, take it easy on Rogue there, they've mostly solved their differences
>hating on rogue
Don't be mean!
You can’t read, can you?
>all her runs have been phenomenal
>what's the appeal of this character
killing her off is always fun
They tried to make a wonder woman. They fucked up. Her latest relaunch is selling like shit and will likely get canceled.
>Lying
Each issue has sold out multiple times casualgate
You've lost, accept it
>Her latest relaunch is selling like shit
Demonstrably false. Her #8 already went to third reprint, and it's not bleeding sales like the previous run, quite the contrary.
>Generic and vague powers
I'll give you generic, but vague? Really? What's so fucking vague about your standard flying brick powerset?
so she had never had a bad run, I call bullshit
She makes this face
You don't sound like you have a gun to your head
Don't bother trying to argue with Carolposters. A reasonable discussion requires two parties being able to find some common ground but Carolposters are so delusional that it's impossible to reach them. The rest of us know Carol herself sucks and falls to all the same problems that 'strong female characters' have but there's really no way to discuss it.
She looks like a butch girl I used to date. She did not have muscles on her though.
Her "appeal" is that I'll always associate her with Based Brie. Other than that, not much going on with the character, especially the current version.
Marvel heroines generally tend to be meh.
Her superpowers is getting her books canceled over and over
Well no wonder her powers are failing now, since she she hasn't gotten cancelled and seems like this run will go beyond #12! Didn't think that one out, did you?
>Carol defeats the Avengers to take Wanda as her Kree body-slave
I like this storyline already
her appeal is that she maintains copyright on a name (which at this point) neither company particularly cares about
>bbbut movies and toys
most people wouldn't care if they just had different names its not like batman or spiderman where people grew up with these characters.
Before they decided she had to be Marvel's wonder Woman she was a pretty decent character. Gruff soldier thing going on, sort of PTSD, alcoholic, caused many of her own problems and solved everything with her fists.
Now she's...empowering? IDK I got nothing.
My guess is that she is probably the best choices for a main solo female hero. The others suffer from
>being a legacy character (Kamala, Jane Foster)
>close ties to a team (Jean Grey, Storm, Sue Storm)
>being second to their male counterpart (She Hulk, Spiderwoman)
>somewhat obscure (Squirrel Girl)
>not having superpowers (Black Widow)
Or a combination of them. The closest is probably Scarlet Witch.
Plus she shares the same name as the company, so that’s a plus as well.
Easy to cast and portray in film because she is so generic. Maintains the trademark so that DC can't use it for the original Captain Marvel. She isn't a nigress or an open dyke, making her less risky/actually marketable in China. Let's Disney shills pretend they have a feminist icon instead of a Mary Sue cash grab.
