Strong, smart, level headed, respectful of the more experienced Avengers and willing to learn from them. I also love when a creative team shows a superhero team actually fighting as a team! Chris Claremont is another one very good at this.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-35469715326628055292016-10-24T16:27:05.660-04:002016-10-24T16:27:05.660-04:00I suppose, Warren, that Monica may have been too p...I suppose, Warren, that Monica may have been too powerful a character to carry the name of Captain Marvel to a series of her own (and, by extension, to such profits as Marvel hopes to see for a character named Captain Marvel), which might help to explain why the rug was pulled out from under her while her identity was still catching on. I truly dislike seeing a character so expertly handled and developed be discarded in such a way; one has to hope that there was <i>some</i> business-related reason behind it, since there appears to be no sense to it otherwise.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-12375923652504215212016-10-24T07:14:25.918-04:002016-10-24T07:14:25.918-04:00As much as Marvel may be trying to push the rebran...As much as Marvel may be trying to push the rebranded Carol Danvers as a big name and kind of feminist face of their universe, I can't help but think they already had a pretty impressive character in this previous Captain Marvel. The more you've shown of Monica in recent blog posts, the more I think it's a pity they kinda-sorta threw her under a bus, rather than do more with her. Jokey Nextwave appearances besides.<br />(If Jen and Monica are talking between themselves about a <i>tree</i>-man, does that still fail the bechdel test?)<br /><br />I'm getting a kick out of the mobilisation of the team - "It's the hotline! The president's in trouble - blast off!" And you're absolutely right about the theme of this post: the teamwork on display practically sparkles.Warren JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743987856127631574noreply@blogger.com
