as is his way Kevin Feige is doing a
good job of maintaining the essence of
Captain Marvel from the comics but it's
actually changing a heck of a lot about
the character for his MCU now in the
comics basically here's a quick
refresher because I'm surprised how many
of you are totally unfamiliar with this
character although actually when you
think about our comic book sales maybe
I'm not but anyway Kree a lien Marvel is
working undercover in an Air Force Base
when a Kree device explodes Air Force
officer Carol Danvers is also caught in
the explosion and her DNA is rewritten
making her part Cree with superhuman
abilities she not only goes on to become
an Avenger
and even leads the team and then gets
into a very nasty unsympathetic fight
with Tony Stewart in Civil War - that
comic book event was meant I think to
raise her profile but all it did was
make I think a lot of kombu does not
like her very much but anyway she then
also took over Alpha Flight where the
two that team that you know it was
formerly the Canadian superhero team but
that was well they were still Canadians
but Canadians in space yes reimagined as
Earth's first line of defense against
alien attacks you know right before you
actually go into the planet and I have
to say that comic from the agent Carter
showrunners was actually pretty darn
good at least for a little while and as
I said Carol comics don't sell which is
why Marvel has to keep reimagining her
title like it seems like everyone like
very frequently a new version of the
Captain Marvel comic comes out and I
think they're doing that not only
because they're not working but because
she has to move it coming up and they
have to have a Captain Marvel comic in
print so anyway you can see echoes of
that and what they're what we're already
learning about her MCU movie for
instance I'm sure her time with the
booth the kree's Elite Star Force will
look pretty darn good on her resume when
she returns to this old mudball right
who should be Earth's first line of
defense how about the you know the one
of us well
the Guardians are a whole bunch of
problems on and off camera right now but
you know why not that person who's
patrolled space for so long I'm gonna
make a whole separate video about star
force but it's kind of funny how Green
Lantern like they are down to even
wearing green oh foggy as I told you he
loves to take shots the DCU when he can
but the inspiration for this video was
an interview with brie Larson
Entertainment Weekly they just did that
big big spread right talking all about
the movie our first introduction to it
and she gave an interview about her
character that really caught my
attention all right because she stated
that part of Carol Danvers is cream and
it makes her quote-unquote unemotional
an amazing fighter and competitive and
in contrast her human part is flawed
that doesn't sound like someone talking
about their DNA getting altered right
that sounds more like a hereditary
conversation what's inherited right when
you talk about altering DNA stories it's
always about powers and things like that
it does not involve personality it
doesn't involve character traits so Wow
could this mean could brie Larson have
inadvertently given away the fact that
the MCU Carol Danvers is half Kree by
parentage right just as Peter quill is
parts part acts in the comics part
celestial in the movies we all set as
we've as I've said in eyes I realized
tonight many of you agree it's become
clear that Kevin Feige likes to keep it
simple that's certainly simpler than an
explosion rewriting DNA right and
there's a if not only is there a
precedent set by what happened with
Peter quill but it also cements Peter
Quill's situation right so if that then
here's something some of you might be
typing and I'm curious about it too if
she is born with these abilities which
we assume includes the ability to fly
we've seen evidence of that right why
would she become an Air Force pilot
right that doesn't seem to make any
sense but maybe she doesn't fly maybe
she can just do extended hops or hover
right or maybe she just can't fly yet as
not all crew have powers at all but some
do thanks to natural mutations
scientific tinkering or technological
enhancements I think it's perfectly
believable that Carol could level up in
the movie beyond the powers she starts
out with at the beginning as a member of
Star Force now let's bring Jude Law into
this conversation right Marvel Studios
is refusing to reveal the name of his
character in the movie when he was cast
it was reported that he was playing
Marvel the person again that the
undercover Kree who's caught in an
explosion gives Carol her powers and you
know as her mentor etc but now all he's
willing to say Jude Law is that he's
fiercely devoted to not just his people
the Kree but also to Carol so much so
that other members of Star Force don't
understand their bond or like why she
creatures pet right could it be he's her
father an age difference that just makes
it right or maybe he's an uncle or some
other alien blood relative oh there's a
precedent for this too in the comics and
as a comic fan Kevin Feige loves these
obscure details right and also I think
that he can point to it and say I'm good
right you can't you can't get upset no
ever gets it south Kevin Feige first
changes but anyway during the
kree-skrull war it was revealed Marvel
had a child with a Skrull princess Romeo
and Juliet style that child was later
retconned to be hoechlin of Marvel
rejoice hulling wicken fans right but
Marvel has fathered a few kids including
file of L of the guardians of the galaxy
in the comics and Janice Val who
followed in his father's footsteps for a
while before going mad so why couldn't
Carol be his daughter again there's a
precedent the comics for Marvel having
kids so again let's streamline it let's
simplify this foggy likes to do let's
make it Carol Danvers and it would again
it would double down on the Peter quill
situation because of course more than
one human got busy with an alien and
produced a superhero child right I mean
you would think there would be a whole
database of that with the shield which
they couldn't there could be right now
side note there is a burgeoning theory
as we're starting to finally get
information about the movie the Jude Law
could be actually playing the villain FC
on rock who is an enemy of Marvel
and the whole Marvel thing could be a
misdirect now jaan raghav cream military
commander so you know makes sense DB
leading star force in the movie right
and in the comics it's revealed that his
sabotage is what led to the explosion
that gave Carol Danvers her powers so in
the movie he could be aware of Carol's
parentage right maybe even still be her
father or an uncle or a good friend who
agreed to look after Carol as a favor
right or made me to keep an eye on her
and manipulate her into being a weapon
for him we've seen that all the time in
sci-fi fantasy you know sci-fi stories
now back to Larson if she an
oscar-winning actress can truly portray
someone who has mixed alien and human
heritage having that come through would
get in her personality that would be
really cool indeed and while it was
revealed that Captain Marvel isn't an
origin story this movie isn't an origin
story it kind of is anyway because it is
a movie about Carol Danvers literally
doubling back to earth to not only ask
questions about her past but and I quote
her identity oh that sounds like
parentage to me right so what do you
think of this theory quite frankly as I
said Carol Danvers has never really
captured reader's attention in the
comics or really you know even an
animation like you know hardcore fans
will get excited like oh they're doing
Carol Carol Danvers but she just has not
really caught on so I think that she's a
character ripe for melodramatic change
and I think there said actually it would
be very cool and I think again easy and
organic literally organic right to
explain to non comic book readers so

coverage and until then you can check
