Monica Rambeau was never Ms. Marvel, she was CAPTAIN Marvel.

I grew up with a Muslim bestie, who always asked why they weren't more represented in media, she passed away 5 years before this comic dropped. I'd like to think that she's happy that it's happening. also ngl I am seeing so much familiarity with spending 14+ years in that household shown in the Disney+ series. It's too late for her to enjoy it, but I am so happy that it's happened.

[@GenerationWest]

I said it once, and I'll say it again, I'm still shocked that Kamala has been Ms. Marvel longer than Carol, which makes it funnier when people suggest she was at her best then, when she was hardly there to begin with, compared to now.

[@tonypeppermint5329]

It's funny to think about.

[@Koolyaroo]

She deserves it tbh

[@captaincomic8678]

Not a suggestion, a fact.

[@historyking9984]

I guess but it’s not always about how long a character is in an identity but each story and the impact

[@101Mant]

@@captaincomic8678 her first run has aged really badly and her second was OK at best. People tend to forget her as Warbird and remember her Avengers stuff under that name as Ms Marvel. The biggest problem for Carol as Captain Marvel wasn't her solo stuff but Civil War 2 where the writers made both her and Tony horrible. Still even when badly written she often provides me with entertainment as her existence seems to annoy a certain type of fan (also upset over Kamala) who it's just fun to see rage at the changing face of comics.

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Honestly the fact that Carol was able to recover from something like Avengers 200 does show even the worst stories possible don't have to end up being the sole thing to define a character. Great video as always!

[@Raytheman581]

It also helps that a lot of fans knew nothing about that. As a kid I didn't, I didn't learn about stuff until I was older and started reading older comics online.

[@frogurtcremebrulee5252]

Kinda like the Ultimate Universe. Ultimatum was absolute trash but the universe came into its own afterwords and actually had some pretty good stuff.

[@RbkARI]

@@frogurtcremebrulee5252 I don't feel like that's a good example. The Ultimate universe never really recovered from Ultimatum, limping along until it was finally put out of its misery. The only good thing that came out of the Ultimate universe post-Ultimatum was Miles Morales. That's just my opinion though.

[@mesiagamer5217]

Wouldn't be the first time a woman in marvel faces horrible trauma and comes out changed for both good and bad.

[@jonathanbien-aime5187]

The difference in all these characters with the Captain/ Ms. Marvel name makes me excited to watch the Marvels movie said to release next year because despite the changes by Marvel Studios , the powers of Captain Marvel, Ms.Marvel and Spectrum are still different and I can't wait to see that contrast on the big screen.

[@VOlDTALES]

You’d think characters named after the comic book studio itself would be cool but no the marvels are just desexualized chick so desexualized that they bear resemblance to paper every character needs a bit of sex appeal not just women look at Spider-Man’s costume

[@CosmicFist78]

I can't wait to see Blue Marvel too

[@InternetMouse]

I really liked ms marvels iconic black and gold outfit. She was so badass , although a bit cocky, she was such a likable gal. Whenever i think of ms marvel. Id be thinking of that outfit.

[@theravenking5930]

I think that was the peak of her character

[@ghanimaatreides5889]

What I loved about House of M was that Ms. Marvel being most popular superhero in the world was actually a joke ... but then folks realized that Carol Danvers is such a cool character ... and that helped bring her back into spotlight and position her for Kelly Sue De Connick's excellent Captain Marvel run.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

The fact that we're 1. Getting a Captain Marvel by Kelly Sue DeConnick omnibus & 2. Getting a Captain Marvel by Kelly Thompson Vol. 1 omnibus gives me hope! Ms. Marvel by G. Willow Wilson omnibus when?!

My favorite era of Carol is prolly Binary. Chris Claremont's writing is always something I love, that form was the first time she felt like she was mostly her own thing to me instead of intrinsically tied to Mar-Vell, and the Starjammers are cool as fuck. How can you not like Cyclops's dad with a full ass 80s moustache and hairdo leading a gang of space boys who just go into the cosmos and fuck around? Absolute icons.

I probably would know nothing about comics if this channel didn't exist so thanks for teaching us about comics

[@ComicDrake]

No time like the present to start reading. :)

[@eastvandb]

I'm rereading Ms Marvel and Champions for the … 3rd? 4th? time. Still holds up. And you're absolutely right. It's the small, weird situations. It's her fangirling during team-ups, it's her friends. Also, Kamala is one of the only superheroes who spends as much of her time doing community organizing as she does fighting. During the big incursion event (where she first meets Captain Marvel), she's busy protecting people in Jersey City and helping set up the high-school as a safe refuge for the neighbourhood during the crisis. Meanwhile Namor and Reed and the rest of the Illuminati' are busy blowing up planets and destroying whole universes. I love her so much in that moment. And her whole community.

[@rubiconprime1429]

I really like Sharon’s outfit. The colours just make me feel happy.

[@tamaran5417]

Karla Sofen is one of if not my favourite Marvel characters, and I’d love to see you make that video on her! There’s nothing more fun than seeing a creator you love talk about a character you love.

[@AndreNitroX]

She’s one of my favorite villains. Loved her in thunderbolts and in dark avengers

[@Koolyaroo]

Ms. Marvel’s 57 issue comic run by G. Willow Wilson has GOTTA be one of my favourite comics of all time, like its so fun and comfy. It’s also one of the few runs from marvel that feels indie as hell. Shame that no run since has written kamala and the rest of the cast well, hopefully the disney+ show(which is also excellent) makes them do just that!

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

[@andrewzelesnik1983]

Hey Drake, what about Superia? She had a brief run as Ms Marvel in a later version of the Dark Avengers? Basically doing the same thing as Moonstone, but it was a separate character.

[@ComicDrake]

I left her out because Marvel didn't consider her a Ms. Marvel on their official breakdown on their website, but I realize in hindsight that I probably should have even though it would have only been a super quick mention.

[@Vibranium_man]

[@dragonmaster3207]

[@mediabaron2416]

While I do really like Ms. Marvel, I am a little embarrassed to admit I've never gotten around to reading any of her main solo series. I know her through the early Champions books. I know her through her various guest appearances in other titles and other media. I read her recent Beyond the Limit miniseries. She's my main in MUA3. But I've never truly gotten into her ongoing titles because I'm normally more into high concept super heroics with big action and big drama. Things her more down to earth tone seemed to lack. However, having gotten into her current Disney + show and after watching your video here, I think I finally get it. That down to earth stuff IS the big appeal. It's less about the characters aiding the plot. It's more about the plot aiding the characters. Their relationships and their developments. They are genuinely interesting and are what keep bringing you back. If the comics are anything like the show just with actually fun super stretchy polymorph powers instead of those ugly CGI crystals and the weird amalgamation of like three other completely disconnected characters, then I need to check them out.

[@alisterfolson]

Introducing Rogue as she steals MM's powers would be super easy, barely an inconvenience 😀

[@thestarseeker8196]

I am in dire need of the Rogue/Carol rivalry in the MCU, and what I love about it is neither are villains. I want to see more Civil War-esque friendly fire type of battles.

[@EarthBlade]

I actually got magic spoon as a birthday gift and it was genuinely great. Bit pricey, but super cool healthy breakfast. Thanks for showing me about it, Drake!

[@Mattucker67]

Its funny that you call Kamala the new Spider-Man, since theres a storyline where she swaps bodies with Peter.

[@philricciotti1724]

Gotta say Drake, I'm a little disappointed that the Ms Magazine cover you used in this episode wasn't the Wonder Woman one.

[@wsamaras2003]

I miss that 2014-2015 era of marvel that focused on legacy characters like Jane foster Thor, and Sam Wilson cap. That was my favorite era of marvel and the only part of it that really rubbed me the wrong way was the company wide exclusion of the FF and X-Men, in favor of the inhumans

[@justinarzola5782]

No, that was when marvel comics was at it's worst, my favorite marvel comics era was 2006 to 2010.

[@AndreNitroX]

I only love carol danvers during her time as warbird and her 2006 run. The EMH cartoon version was perfect.

[@smdias65]

Thanks for the update! When I was a kid reading comics, Carol Danvers had just changed to the blue costume and Mar-Vell had the funky costume (with the hair). I was there for Carol's encounter with Rogue; she became Binary just before I headed out to college. Then, I kinda lost track of comics. I do remember seeing Monica Rambeau's Captain Marvel, but didn't read any of her comics. So, I was a bit surprised to see Carol Danvers in the persona for the movie.

[@AgentNevets]

Great video. My personal favorite Ms. Marvel is Sharon Ventura. I know this wasn't a video about her time outside of Ms. Marvel, but a few of her appearances, including her most recent, were thankfully back as a friend and extended family of the FF. Also, some of her villainous time could be attributed to the fact that she was one of the captives of the Skrulls for Secret Invasion.

[@legoben98productions]

@@ComicDrake thank you for correcting me comic drake.

[@luigiboi4244]

Kamala Khan is one of my favorite Marvel characters, and I don't really like how they are making her a "magical Green Lantern" in her solo series on Disney+ and not an Inhuman like in the comics. I do respect Feige and the production crew for the change and accurately showing her personality, but I feel like it would have been much easier if they *1) gave her the original backstory with a few tweaks* (no Terrigen Bomb, maybe something more subtle), *2) slowly introduce the Inhumans in later episodes like in the comic run she first appeared in, and 3) make her adventures street-level, like Spider-Man.* Her Inhuman nature and powers literally are part of her character: The first usage of her powers was to turn into Carol Danvers since she wanted to be just like her: A kick-ass super hero she idolizes. From then on she becomes more sure of herself and becomes her own type of hero. Side note: I keep on forgetting that Kang and Marcus are a thing that are in need of desperate retconning.

[@mesiagamer5217]

Funny thing is they have an in universe way to make this happen due to agents of shield as Terogen is a thing that's around and is clearly something that could awaken Inhumans.

[@cupguin]

While people can definitely have valid critiques about the change, it's definitely Quasar not Green Lantern.

She is better known as Ultragirl and was a charecter during the mid 2000s during Civil War and the Intiative, I being her up only because right before Dark Reign Carol actually gave her the Ms. Marvel costume that was then almost immediately taken by Norman Osborn for Moonstone. But honestly I think Drake could do an excellent video about the "lost generation" of young superheros from marvel during that time. Cause the OG Prodigy, Gravity, and like all of Avengers Academy have had almost 0 recognition since mid 2010's and at leat to me that fascinating considering how promoted a lot, especially Gravity, these charecter where.
