Cast Captain Marvel

[Morpheus 02]

(i'm skipping pages 2-4, for now)...i'd say someone non-white (and thus non-blond)...the general public doesn't have the same familiarity as "established" superheroes, and blending characters will work just fine. Since they won't be coming as frequent as comic books, we don't have time for them to show the 2nd 3rd (or whatever) versions of Captain Marvel.

Yeah, I was thinking about someone like Gabrielle Union.

Danvers doesn't have to be white and blonde.

 

[Silvercrest]

I know it would never happen but would anyone be interested in a movie version of the Death of Captain Marvel, wherein Mar-Vell died of cancer? It's a fairly seminal story, which retains its power because Marvel have never cheapened it by reviving him - he remains dead.

The brought back Bucky.

This death is on borrowed time.

You know, in any other medium (including IRL), people are living on borrowed time. In comics, it's the opposite.

Same goes for Black Panther. People won't be familiar with him, so they should just switch the races. Black female Danvers, white male T'Challa.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Black Panther has been a young girl in her 20s for 3 or 4 years now.

(Not that T'Challa isn't also still the Black Panther.)

The new Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman Teenage Muslim Pakistani-American fangirl.



She squealed while teaming up with Spider-Man explaining where he can download her Carol Danvers/Spider-man slash fanfiction.

The book is cute, well written, smart, and Beautifully drawn.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ That panel is the best-looking thing I've seen from Marvel in years (and I'm impressed with them for not making her a stereotype). I'm glad they're still using the name Ms. Marvel.

RJ, Mar-Vell's wife, well after her husband bought the farm, had a couple testtube babies.

I didn't even know about the wife.

If you like Peter David, their stories are well worth looking into.

Actually, Peter David is pretty decent.

I already mentioned Hulkling earlier in the thread, but Mar-Vell boffed a Skrull Princess, and that kid is totally gay for one of the Scarlet Witches kids, who are both now teenage Super heroes in the Young Avengers.

Okay, hold on, Scarlet Witch's kids, from Englehart's great mini-series, who John Byrne retconned away because only god can create life, have been returned as teenagers?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Yes.

Since 2005.

One has magic powers which seems to be more about him being powerfully linked to probably chaos magic, than actually knowing spells. The other has white hair and superspeed, which does make one wonder where Wanda's hex powers "sourced" the nonsynthetic male component to make these babies.

First three pages of Young Avengers 1.







This was shortly after Avengers Disassembled and the Decimation, where Wanda took down the Avengers and then depowered 90 percent of mutant kind. Not her finest hours. They filled a vacuum. Unfortunately there was some blow back in he real world because two of the character being boys in love and Marvel eventually squashed the book, which probably also had a lot to do with the writer only churning out 12 books in three years.

The author was one of the producers of Lost.

Celebrities get away with murder.

Since then they have had several limited serieses, and another cancelled ongoing, which have been full of quite a few unusual relationships, like for instance this one...



Oh look.

Carol Danver's corpse is in the lower right hand corner of this wedding portrait.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

BTW, I would love to see Kamala Khan in the movie. Not as Ms. Marvel, but just as a little girl who gets rescued by Captain Marvel and becomes her biggest fan (leaving the door open for her to be Ms. Marvel at some point).

 

[Guy Gardener]

Problem with that is that you think that that katie Holmes is going to be Catwoman, and then you think Maggie Gyllenhal is going to be Catwoman and then you wonder what sort of left field they plucked Anne Hathaway from to actually be Catwoman?

Oh. Remember how great Billy Dee Williams was as Two face in Batman III after playing Harvey Dent in the first two movies?

Here's a thought... If you want to consolidate characters and add diversity, skip Mar-Vell altogether and have Monica Rambeau be the original Captain Marvel from whom Carol is inheriting the title -- sort of like how Ant-Man will have Michael Douglas as Hank Pym passing on the mantle to Scott Lang. That establishes it as a legacy of female heroes. And if Carol is taking over the Captain title from Monica, maybe that could set the stage for Kamala inheriting the Ms. Marvel title that was formerly Carol's, continuing the legacy.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Monica = Next Wave = Warren Ellis Directing.

That's right, because Panther's origin has no basis in geography.

 

[Tom Hendricks]

Do they call him just Panther in Wakandan or the full name of Black Panther? Like do they call Swedish Meatballs, Swedish Meatballs in Sweden or just meatballs?

I'd like to think it's just Panther. And they roll their eyes when a bunch of whites have to call him Black Panther.

I still don't understand Black Lightning....

 

[Thomas L]

My understanding is that there are 'white panthers' and 'black panthers' but no 'panthers' and he is named after the later.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

I'm not sure that makes sense. If it were Wakandan Panther, maybe. But a Black Panther is distinguishing it from a yellow spotted Panther (otherwise known as a Leopard) and a White Panther (which is less common, but still exists).

Swedish meatballs, English muffins, American football, etc. have the problem of redundancy in the home country (at least, I assume so), black panthers are different in color from other Panthers so the distinction is useful.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Coming to America is 90 percent a Black Panther Movie.

You just need to splice into it a fine helping of kung fu and politics.

In the early 1970s Roy Thomas "urbanized" the African King by making him a ghetto dwelling School teacher during his off hours when he wasn't an Avenger.

I suspect that all the kids who he taught that made it to college found mysterious scholarships just appearing from no where to pay their tuition when the time came.

Since their totem animal is a black panther ( leopards in this case) and not the usual spotted kind, I'd think so. The name comes from the animal and not because T'Challa and his ancestors are black. It's more like Green Lantern or Blue Beetle than the absurdity of Black Lightning or Black Goliath.

Right, that should be self-evident. Of course the Wakandans wouldn't call themselves "black" -- that's a word made up by white people to describe Africans. And the Black Panther lineage began thousands of years ago, long before the Wakandans would've encountered Europeans. So obviously they wouldn't have named the Black Panther after a European term for their race, but after the actual animal which is literally black-furred.
