Like, isn't "Marvel" the name of the franchise in the real world and has no meaning in the movie universe? Isn't her name just nonsense to them? Might as well be "Captain HoopdyDoop" since "HoopdyDoop" would have the same amount of meaning as "Marvel" to those in that universe.

I never thought about it that way, but I think you're right.

Captain Corporate lol

I don't think she ever actually gets called Captain Marvel in either her own movie or in Endgame.

You know Marvel is actually a word, right?

Then there's no reason why she couldn't be Captain HoopdyDoop.

The Marvel(TM) company made me forget about this

The whole shtick is that no one gives a fuck. I don't know if Shazam came first or Captain Marvel, but they're both intentionally designed to fill the roll of "tongue in cheek generic super hero written by people who know it's generic". Some times this ended up looking like bargain bin superman, and others it was genuinely pretty clever to see bargain bin superman stand up and point at the "clearance" sign clipped to the edge while he tells you that his comic is the best comic

CAPTAIN HOOPDYDOOP IS NOW CANON

Don't blame the Euro, none of them own houses so they have to phonepost

shazam/captain marvel came first but at the time it was owned by fawcett comics. fawcett then got sued by DC because shazam was too similar with superman and they stopped all publications of him in the late 50's. at this time marvel took advantage of this and made their own Captain Marvel and copyrighted the name (maybe because their company name is literally the same as the superhero's) since fawcett is now defunct.
fawcett later then sold the rights of shazam and captain marvel after marvel made their captain marvel to DC because they need money to survive.

tldr captain smug was nothing more but a dick move by marvel to get the copyright for an existing superhero that shares his name with their company.

yuropoors BTFO, eat a dick france

Wasn't the scientist kree bitch called Marvell Or did I imagine that part of the movie?

there's another superheroine in Marvel universe called 'Ms. Marvel' and she's a moslem

Captain Marvel is a fucking cheesy name, even for a comic book company. That's like if I named by gaming studio "Horndog Productions" and named the protagonist of my flagship franchise "General Horndog", imagine the amount of ego.

This is like something an Achewood character would say.

There were earlier, stacked Ms. Marvels.

Maybe but you know I'm right.
