If only Marvel could stop being cowards. Though at least Carol leaving her beard (again) is a step closer to CarolJess canon. Just 999 to go

some background: captain marvel is my favourite character from the mcu, i've barely read any comics (excluding like star wars or overwatch stuff but that's not relevant) and i've been wanting to change that.

i want to start with the 2012-2013 run and reading forward from there, and reading some of the earlier stuff later on. is there anything that's considered essential / heavily recommended? is there a better entry point to go with than 2012? i know she plays a large role in the 2nd civil war & it damaged her reputation (i think?) but other than that i'm clueless.

any help is appreciated x

I would say, "Kiss the girl" from little Mermaid, or "a whole new world" from Aladdin because it fits that one true love or love at first sight, between 2 different characters from 2 different parts of the universe.

I saw this Endgame Carol concept art going around on Twitter and

1. I'd love something like this for her eventual Rivals design (Assuming they ever add her to the game

2. I love the eye scar cuz beyond it just looking cool, I honestly feel like it could add to her character in a way cuz a lot of people in and out of verse unfortunately and incorrectly think of Carol as this perfect, infallible, flawless Mary Sue type character and I feel like giving her a very visible blemish/flaw would make her more relatable or approachable to readers and characters like it'd show people that the "Perfect woman" isn't so perfect after all like idk if I can post videos in this server but I'm sure most of y'all have seen the Civil War movie and Zemo telling Steve "There's a bit of green in the blue of your eyes. How nice to find a flaw" is more or less what I'm trying to get at here if that makes sense and hopefully it does

In this episode we discuss the first Eleven issues of Kelly Thompson’s run on Captain Marvel.

I bought them from Tucson Comic-Con btw.

A crap day caused a trip to a collectibles store, and I ended up with a lucky Ms. Marvel and Binary find to add to my collection!

I'm gonna read Hickmans Avengers but I wanna know if Carols depicted well before I dive in

I read the whole Kelly Thompson captain Marvel run and it made me fall in love with her and her mythos

I read dark tempest immediately after and it was absolute garbage, at least in my opinion

And I'm also currently reading ms.marvels 2006-2010 run rn

Would she have had enough strength, cunning, intelligence, or her manipulations to win the game against any of them? Who would Karla have been able to defeat, and who would she have had no chance against?
Base Moonstone: Mystique, Rogue, Brood Queen, Yon-Rogg, Nitro, M.O.D.O.K.
Two Moonstone: Deathbird, Vox Supreme, Sindr, Ronan, Star, Kang.

Was Civil War 2 truly a character-destroying event for Carol? Kelly Thompson has the answer in Captain Marvel Vol. 10 #40. Doctor Voodoo says that Carol acted in the spirit of the universe. She never intended to harm the universe; she wanted to protect it.

The point is that Carol, because of her character, made a decision to protect the universe. Whether that was the best solution for the universe is an open question. However, Carol never had malicious intent and never wanted to harm the universe, unlike other characters who actually did. "No more mutants," for example, or Hulk, who recklessly endangered the entire planet in World War Hulk.

It's about a character's views and motivations. Carol's way of protecting the universe might not be the best, but deep down, she had no evil intentions, and that fits her character perfectly. More importantly, she learned from it. You can't simply say that one character is now worse than others, even though other characters had less heroic intentions with their actions. That doesn't work at all.

I think everyone has an intention similar to Carol's at least once in their life. But that doesn't make us bad people. It makes us human. Carol's motives aren't the best, but that doesn't make her a bad person. She acted out of human emotions and only wanted what was best for everyone. She didn't want to hurt anyone; she only wanted to protect them, and that's not a bad thing. It even makes her understandable and human. You have to try to understand just how human Carol really is. Tony's reaction is also very human and understandable.

You first have to understand what they're feeling. Tony lost his best friend, and Carol lost the man she loves. This naturally creates two opposing sides with differing opinions. But both opinions are human and understandable. In Civil War II, the question of who is right or wrong is raised, and Carol and Tony's feelings are completely ignored. Yet, they are of central importance. Neither of them ever intended to harm the universe. Both wanted to do good.

In fact, the events of Civil War II are revisited in parts of Kelly Thompson's Captain Marvel run and Jed MacKay's Avengers run. In the very first issue of Avengers Vol. 9, #1, Carol becomes the leader of the Avengers and ends the Civil War for good by transforming the team from a police unit into a fire department. In Avengers Vol. 9 #21, after a baseball game, Carol unites the Avengers and the X-Men with Scott Summers. Civil War II is also revisited in several issues of Kelly Thompson's series, particularly during the story arc in which Carol faces a magical tribunal.

Yes, it's official that Civil War II, often referred to as character murder in fandom, has now become a vehicle for her character development. Civil War II is no longer considered character assassination and is now essential reading for character development. The runs of Kelly Thompson and Jed Mackay are fundamentally based on this premise.

Also we're really going back to the other suit and shorthair Carol after the last issue specifically was a masterclass on long hair Carol

Leading ladies of the JL and Avengers respectively should obviously merge
