Comparing Carole Danvers and Nebula
Hello, and welcome to my first Sunday discussion post! Sorry it's so late in the day, it was a busy weekend for me. This week's topic:
By now we've seen two official trailers for Captain Marvel. In the 2nd trailer, we see a barely-conscious Carole being injected with a green fluid, presumably the source of her unearthly powers. In an earlier post to this comm,snickfic and learnedfoot discussed the implications of non-consensual body modifications - a theme that we've already seen in the MCU with Nebula.
What do you see as the major parallels between Carole Danvers and Nebula? What are the big differences? How would you like to see the two characters interact on-screen? And if they sat down for a jar of mead after all the fighting is over, what stories would they share?
How do their stories compare to male MCU characters who have endured non-con body modifications, like Bucky Barnes?
I know very little about either Carole or Nebula, so I would love to hear your thoughts!

Was Bruce Banner ever experimented on against his will? My introduction to the Hulk came in The Avengers which kind of gave short shrift to his back story.
I agree about Loki. Not only did he never consent to being raised in an alien body, he didn't even KNOW he was in an alien body until a thousand years later. For someone who knew how to transform himself into a snake by the age of 8, that's gotta come as a shock. He spent his life as a shapeshifter who could be anything except his true self. No wonder he earned the title "God of Lies."
I would love to see Rocket's backstory examined more in depth in the next Guardians movie.

That lack of knowledge might give Loki and Carol some interesting common ground.
