Captain Marvel (2019)

Hmmm.

Youtube I watched guessed that
Doctor Strange Goes back to the 1990s to collect Carol to fight Thanos in the present day, rather than she stopped ageing for 25 years.

If that half of the awesome facial hair bros picks up young Phil as well... That could sort out the nearness of Phil's death in Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I really want to know when the first blue Kree appeared. I know they weren't originally shown (iirc, Ronan was even originally pink-skinned).

I remember a whole oppressed racial situation going on between Mar-Vell and Yon Rogg in the first dozen issues of Captain Marvel from 1967ish, that i must have skimmed at some point.

Seeing those pics, I must once again say:

KREE DO NOT WEAR THAT FUCKING COSTUME. I DON'T CARE IF YOU PAINT IT GREEN, IT WILL NEVER BE A KREE COSTUME. CAROL DANVERS NEVER WORKED FOR THE KREE IN THE MAIN MCU (outside of a 1-2 issue story in an Avengers comic where she was brainwashed, but she was still ms. marvel then and never got out of her Ms. Marvel costume) AND SHE INVENTED THAT CAPTAIN MARVEL COSTUME HERSELF. SHE WOULD NEVER WORK WITH THE KREE, FUCK OFF. SHE ALSO NEVER TRAINED WITH THE KREE, BUT I GUESS COPYING RYAN REYNOLDS GREEN LANTERN FILM IS THE BEST THING THE HACKS MAKING THIS COULD COME UP WITH, EXCEPT THAT MOVIE WAS WATCHABLE AND THIS IS SHIT.

Also, a comparison I saw on twitter but should have seen immediately all by myself, apparently the costume/make up people in this movie are fans of Dragonball Evolution

Well, congrats MCU. You've made a movie worse then Spider-Man Homecoming, and one less faithful to the actual comics then fucking Fant4stic all in one shit package. Zach Snyder could have made a better fucking Carol danvers movie then the assholes that made this one, and that guy is both out of his mind and a hack, which unfortunately would be a step up from this shit.

To say one nice thing, at least this isn't as shit as the "Shazam" movie. So, it still beats the movie loosely based on the real Captain Marvel. That is literally the only positive thing i can say about this shit, though.

lol
 
No, the predictable thing is people worshiping something to the point of hating different opinions. But, I'll always stick to my guns, regardless of the annoying repetitiveness of the people who try to suppress opposing opinions every single time.
You are a beacon of hope in the darkness....

Looking forward to seeing how they integrate the Kree/Skrulls into the larger MCU.
 
Now that we know she's half Kree, I'm wonder if perhaps it will simply turn out that Kree don't age as fast as we humans, and that her Kree half has slowed her aging down.
 
This is nothing new. I remember some old X-Men comics where Rogue claimed to be half Kree (her actual words were 'part alien') because she had absorbed Carol's powers. It was an effect of the psyche magnetron* that altered her DNA making her half Kree.

*I'm amazed that my voice dictation function actually spelled psyche magnetron right.

Was that Rogue herself or the headCarol that was in charge of rogues body some times... AS a parcel and bundle of Rogues powers, she would have copied Carols alien DNA, which may have been another reason that the powers got stuck.

If she copied a Brood, if the Brood shy away from canabalism, there might be a biological imperitive, during a hypothetical Brood attack, to stop laying eggs inside her?

If AoS is anything to go by (dubious, where the movies are concerned) Kree do indeed seem to live longer then humans.
That said, Carol ageing more slowly post change is just one of several possibilities and I can probably think of others that have a little more dramatic potential...like say time dilation from travelling at the speed of light. One could also go with "stuck in stasis somewhere" or "trapped in another universe" but those two have been taken already by Cap & The Wasp respectively. I mean if nothing else it would seem a little weird that she was just hanging out in space this whole time, doing her thing until Fury paged her.

Small aside: I'm also still not 100% convinced that what's been said means she's literally a natural born Human/Kree hybrid. It seems like a little too much of a departure and too similar to Peter Quill's origin. A (very) simplified version of her comics origin seems much more likely: i.e. some weird alien tech accidentally gene splices a USAF pilot with Kree Supersoldier DNA and gave her superpowers.
I mean she still ends up "half-Kree" technically, but how she got there is kinda important. After all Cap wouldn't be Cap if he got his powers after being bitten by a radioactive soldier, would he? Nor would Spider-man be Spider-man if Peter had volunteered to be injected with Super-Spider Serum out of patriotism.

Carol's character and personal isn't naturally geared towards having a birthright, it's more towards the having to deal with what's been thrust upon her (good and bad.) Character-wise she has more in common with the Hulk than the likes of Superman, Thor, or even Wonder Woman.

They were both pink-skinned. Yon-Rogg didn't like Mar-Vell because he wanted to bang Mar-Vell's girlfriend, Una. IIRC, Ronan was also pink-skinned in those issues, which is why I started thinking about the question.
 
What's the opposite of Fake News?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmeanwhile Google is suggesting that Jude is playing Yon-Rogg, not Mar-Vell.

That sleeping with the enemy stuff can be hilarious.
