Comics Explained: Carol Danvers - Part 1

[@Panos__P]

Every time I return or watch one of the older videos of Rob this intro stays with me. It was the best in this channel. It fits so nicely the format of Rob videos. Hope he bring it back at somepoint...

[@CaptainMarvelCulture]

This is a remarkably well-researched and insightful video. Probably the best on the subject of Carol Danvers out there so far. One nit-pick: Ms. should be pronounced "mizz," with a "Z." This indicates that the marital status of the woman is irrelevant. Mrs = married, Miss = single, Ms. = not telling and you shouldn't care.

[@catsthemovie4692]

Here after endgame loved her!

[@dkMansell96]

Aww man! Missed the classic intro. Anyone popping in here after the Cap’n Marvel trailer release?

Awesome video, Rob! I really enjoy the historical context, i always feel like tuning in to your show isn't just entertainment, but education.

[@cmam8246]

Interesting information about Captain Marvel. Never really knew how she got her powers in the first place ,so thanks. Cant wait for her movie & pt.2!!

[@silky9421]

You are my absolute favorite youtuber of all time. As someone who loves lore, I can’t explain how much I appreciate your passion for explaining topics, lore, and characters intelligently. Your channel gets me through tough times and provides reliable and extremely entertaining insight during great times.

[@ThisIsSpartttaaa]

Absolutely in LOVE with this channel, keep up the good work!

[@genkenobi]

I didnt know the character of Carol Danvers was that old.

[@ayrtonfarinha3249]

Thank you for your works, and your dedication, your channel is amazing !

[@andrewpeterson7882]

Sir, I applaud you for you're research into historical context. The climate of Second Wave feminism is crucial in understanding the creation of Ms. Marvel. This is something a lesser retrospective character study would've overlooked. Very much an overlooked character!

[@warrenallen]

that intro was beast. awesome job

[@SpaderB13]

Nightcrawler is a big one I want to see done, I'm glad you mentioned it

[@Otsego]

Thanks, I've always been a little confused as to how she actually got her powers. I hope you do all the way up to Kelly Sue's current run. I feel like her as Captain Marvel is finally where she is supposed to be.

[@JustASmokingSnorlax]

I agree! So many people don't like the current Cap Marvel run... I think Carol is great in it.

[@imransuhail82]

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you !!! Been waiting for this for so long. You are awesome!

[@finsoto]

I thought you'd take a break, but your passion will pull you up and tighten your boot straps. Salute.

[@marvelousdcgeek9761]

recently Nicole Perlman (the screenwriter of Captain Marvel movie) said that they gonna change the origin of Carol's powers due because and quote "her origin story is very similar to Green Lantern, and obviously is not what we want to do. There's a lot of reinvention that needs to happen"

[@capmar-vell92returns20]

I hope they don't completely ditch Mar-Vell. He's a neat cosmic character and i would like to see the MCU Kree being fleshed out rather than being remembered as ''that race of dicks from GOTG''.

[@garlicgirl3149]

Hollywood kills me what does that have to do with anything....OMG that just means they will screw it up! I like the origin and it makes sense too.

[@gabbar51ngh]

Wonder woman was set in world war 1 because of similiarities to captain America

[@MixMasterNutGaming]

Proud member of the Carol Corps here. Thank you for making this video. Can't wait for Part 2.

[@mikemartin2702]

Hey Rob, could you please explain Mar-vell, I see him in alot of comics, but it always appears to be a different person, and his role in Secret Invasion was just bizarre. Love your channel man, been addicted to it since I happened across it last month, keep up the good work!

[@nexusgiga]

He was the original captain marvel. He was awesome. Then died of space cancer. That Mar-vell was a skrull imposter gone rouge (kinda)

[@CaptainMarvelCulture]

Mar-Vell was Marvel Comics' first Captain Marvel, a captain in the Kree space navy. He was killed off in 1982 in "The Death of Captain Marvel" graphic novel. The name of Captain Marvel was subsequently taken by several different characters, and the Secret Invasion version was a Skrull genetically altered to think he was Captain Marvel.

[@georgeb9977]

When I was young I was so confused between Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, Mar-vell, etc.

[@dugsrobert7952]

Here after infinity war. This chick better be ready to kick some serious ass

[@wokeaf1242]

There was a sense that they did not really know what to do with Ms. Marvel, and that was reflected in every comic she was in. It like they said "We need a female super hero" and kinda did it like Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby came up with characters like the Fantastic Four. A funny thing about the tendency of attempts and being progressive, I remember when John Byrne dedicated an entire issue of Fantastic Four to Sue renaming herself "Invisible Woman." It had the title "Childhood's End" on the cover and I forgot who she fought but remember her doing an interview where the reporter asked the question that was a joke in the comic community, how she felt being the weakest of the Fantastic Four. (And this was try, until John Bryne Invisible Girl had about the status as Aquaman. She was the "girl who could turn invisible and protect the stronger men when she needed to." ) Sue then proceeded to create a invisible platform that took the reporter off the ground and almost to the ceiling (I think) and smirked asking him what he meant by "weaker member." It was around this era that her "force field" change to her being able to project solid invisible forms that pretty much made her tough as crap. The goes right into that "dropping the ball" stuff Marvel did when Sue change to Malice and beat the living hell out of the rest of the FF. The problem here was it was like saying "Strong confident women are defined as "b****hes." I forgot what silly reason Sue turned to Malice but was so glad they dropped that like a bad habit. There are so many instances where they did the, with She Hulk, Spider-girl - almost every version, Rogue, Storm, Jean Grey. The sad thing is that in many ways they still do it today.

[@Icecypher]

Umar Soaries In that issue, Sue fought Franklin. He had grown up to adulthood but he realized his mind and memories, which should be full of experiences, were rather empty. The Fantastic Four members were being knocked out by his probes to learn who he was. So the title applied to both Sue and Franklin.

[@wokeaf1242]

César Hernández-Meraz No, this was in the John Byrne era when Franklin was still "the baby that could destroy the world" which was an actual plot device in more than one FF story back then. I think Malice was a reaction to Dark Pheonix, because it happened to Scarlet Which as well. (Then again, she was the daughter of a terrorist control freak and married a robot, mental stability was never Wanda's strong suit.) Malice was all spikes and black leather and it took Reed the entire issue to figure out it was Sue. But Franklin was still a baby back then.

[@Icecypher]

Umar Soaries The issue with the interview with all of the attacks on Sue as the weakest character who has to be rescued all the time is when Franklin (using his powers without realizing it) grows up into a full adult with incomplete experiences. Sue saves the day and Franklin reverts to a kid, but not without fixing Ben's appearance, which had gone back to how he first looked as The Thing. The Malice issues were during Secret Wars II. Psycho Man's Hate Monger had New York in such a state that there was definitely no time for Sue/Malice to give interviews.

[@wokeaf1242]

César Hernández-Meraz I always felt Marvel held on to the Thing appearance for way too long. If Sue, Johnny and Reed could turn their powers off and on why didn't they simply let Ben switch back and forth? It would have made more sense than some of the stuff they came up with over the years.

[@Icecypher]

I guess they wanted to keep the angst, since having him switch back and forth would have all the benefits without the bad things. But they can keep that status quo for as long as they want (or revert to it) since they cme up with the explanation that no cure would work because Ben's subconscious feared going back to human would ruin his relationship with Alicia.

[@nigelsmith7717]

Oh this info is delightful...oh MARVELOUS!

[@mastermix9619]

Hey Rob could you do a comic explained on the original Captain Marvell? I'm still confused on how he went from being a Kree to changing to Rick Jones on occasion, then to the quantum bands be transfer to Quzar.

[@ensabahnur7657]

She fought plenty of supervillians in her solo series and not just "street level thugs". Or do you have a low opinion on MODOK? Plus, you failed to mention how the Carol and Ms. Marvel personas merge later on.

[@franks.3119]

Thanks Rob! Finally one on my favorite hero! Great job and I'm looking forward to the second part. What did you think about the movie announcement?

[@Pentecostxx]

are carol danvers (marvel) and cara danvers (dc) somewhat connected?

[@parkertheskittle7372]

No dc comics kara zor el aka kara danvers is supergirl of dc comics and carol danvers is basicly marvels supergirl but yeah you could say there connected in influential creation of the characters but they have nothing to do with each other aside from that hope this helps

[@Pentecostxx]

+PC Warlock oh yeah you're right haha I meant to say was her sister but I think the answer is the same right?

[@parkertheskittle7372]

+elevennist nick yes same answer just adding no they aren't sisters lol

[@Pentecostxx]

+PC Warlock let's just say her sister from earth haha, I know that she's adopted basically

[@parkertheskittle7372]

+elevennist nick they are from different universes but if there was a fan fic where supergirl and captain marvel are actually sisters i would read the shit out of that

Do you know the title?

Short change hero

[@Stdygoofn]

great video rob one question tho wasn't it later in the comics that rogue killed ms marvel by absorbing all her powers or was that the cartoon version?

[@AXSofHFDS]

she didnt kill her, she just put her into a coma, it was a whole mess though, thats why when she reappeared, they retconned her character.

[@franks.3119]

She was never killed just lost all her powers. She then joined the x-men and gained her Binary powers after being experimented on by the brood

[@Stdygoofn]

ah ok i really never heard much about her except that rogue gained her powers from capt marvel but this first video really opens up more info. I love the past video series and the current ones spend alot of time catching up well worth the time i must say this channel rocks

[@kuraudo9700]

Great video. What happened to the original captain Marvel?

[@artemismeow]

Kendell Perry i think he's stuck in cancerverse

[@AwoIfakayode]

Can you please explain MojoWorld.

[@thegeekswon2260]

DC may very well have created Wonder Woman around 20 years before Carol Danvers but it was because over at DC the artist and his wife was into bondage and swapping sexual partners with others ( ie swinging ) so top marks for being first but I`d call WW creation more sinister in nature even though she stands for girl power and feminism. The mad world of comics eh :) keep up the great work Rob

[@Ghostx339]

personally, never cared for the outfit they have wonder-woman in. its like she'd "hanging out" and wearing nothing but underwear. so ya... i could easily believe that story is true!

[@tylermane77]

WTF? "Sinister"? Why is it "sinister"? Because it freaks you out?

[@VeryDryBones]

+Mr Maws I know right.. someone's afraid of sexual people

[@gabbar51ngh]

What's Sinister here? Artist's personal lifestyle doesn't necessarily mean Character is bad. On top of that several other writers contributed to wonder woman. Not just the one who created it. Almost none of these comic book character resemble their first iteration.

I loved the early Ms Marvel comics, but man, Marvel just really screwed up such a great thing. I think carol Danvers is a really depressing character

[@nexusgiga]

Have you read captain marvel lately. Shits fun as hell. Vol 3 of ms marvel-captain marvel are great reads

[@Mogget01]

No, honestly I loved the original ms marvel run because you had carol Danvers as a capable spyish character who was more than capable till something super human happened, and only then would ms marvel come out and kick ass. Was a cool concept to have a spy thriller woven into a super hero piece

[@nexusgiga]

shes still a kick ass super hero. just no longer ms. snake eater is all. shes a loveable dork who is the best of the best

[@Mogget01]

I think back when I wrote this, I had just learned about the rape of Ms Marvel, and I had collected a good chunk of the original 70s solo run when I was a kid. I was super upset, still am.

[@themarkruffalo]

You really need to teach at a college or university, brother! Thanks for the lessons!

[@invisiblesun6595]

Reading the 2012 series with her new name - and look - I guess it worked for the crowd back then. But really disappointed in this new her. Not really enjoying the sudden testosterone boost they gave her. Almost as if writers felt readers didn't take Carol seriously before this. Read the first issue, turned me right off to a character that was once every bit as tough as she was feminine. Gving her those same 'toxic masculinity' traits that are decried in men sends a very wrong message to a rapidly declining country where our adversaries are already smelling blood in the water. And if this is to be the new standard from here on out it may not be worth saving.

[@andyenglish4303]

Aren't Kree... blue?

[@DJAnonyMIX]

[@captainmalcolmreynolds1526]

How old is captain marvel ? She seems like she's 20ish but people say she's older.

[@deathknight75]

Irelyn Whalen I believe about early 30's. Pretty young to be a Colonel, but she's a damn good pilot, and a pretty great leader too, so it's not that surprising.

[@shoopoopie1]

how will ms.marvel get here powers of Ronan was killed? in the mcu

[@eagc7]

shoopoopie1 she didnt gained her powers of because of ronan. pay attention. Ronan went to capture Carol and Mar-Vell to the Kree Supreme Intelligence and the Supreme Intelligence told her how she gained her powers, Ronan had nothing to do with her gaining powers
