I honestly know nothing about Captain Marvel, so my main reaction is YAY FEMALE HERO.

[lettered]

Hey you go here, hi!

I'm excited about this one.

[lynnenne]

HI HI HI. Yes, this is my new favorite comm. I'm excited about Captain Marvel, too!

[snickfic]

MOSTLY SAME. I read a few issues of the reboot comic where she first gets the costume redesign and the Captain Marvel title (as opposed to Ms. Marvel, which was what she was called before), but it didn't leave a strong impression on me. I'm excited to see what they do with her in the MCU!

Princess Sparklefists is awesome in the comics, but the MCU version is going to be pretty different. I've read the DeConnick run on Captain Marvel and some other stuff, but I don't know what to expect either.

I hope the Princess Sparklefists nickname happens in the films.

I feel like if anyone was going to call her that, it would be Tony. Or maybe Rocket? And both of those seem like real possibilities!

[lynnenne]

I vote for Rocket. Because OF COURSE HE WOULD.

Hard same. I also love that she's specifically a pilot. Something about women who fly things is just the coolest to me.

[lynnenne]

Maybe because there's so few of them? In the U.S. military, women were banned from flying for years because they weren't allowed in active combat duty. *eyeroll*

[learnedfoot]

*eyeroll* indeed! Maybe that's it. (Or maybe it's as simple as I imprinted real hard on Starbuck from BSG...). Either way, so excited for Carol! It's nice having so few expectations about what she's going to/should be like. I'm just ready to fall in love.
