  • Monica Rambeau may have only recently (at the time of this recording) entered MArvel Entertainment's MCU, but she has a rich Marvel Comics history. The character actually debuted as Captain Marvel in a Spider-Man comic. She would come to lead the Avengers and have several code names. See how it all began here on Casually Comics!

    I remember once reading an issue of one of the Spider-man comics where Spidey was thinking about how he could use pockets on his costume. A problem with that would be the fact that he would sometimes be upside down -- such as when he is crawling down the walls -- and things would fall out. So he would something to keep them close, like zippers or velcro. The problem with THAT was that if he was sneaking up on someone, and had to get something out of a pocket, the sound of the velcro ripping apart would alert the person. In the end, he imagined a mother explaining to their child how Spider-man died because of a velcro pocket, and the child commenting on how it was a stupid way to die.

      I always knew that part of it, but I almost wonder if they have a similar sort of predicament with the "Ms. Marvel" name, too, because there was a period in the late 80's/ early 90's where Carol was under another identity (pre-Captain) and a character named Sharon Ventura held the title as a wrestler-turned-woman version of The Thing (sometimes known as She-Thing).

      @@b.parker1740 You sorta do for every trademark you own. You have to actively use it and defend it, otherwise if someone challenge your claim you might lose it. The main difference is that with Captain Marvel, Marvel knows there is/was someone gunning for it actively(ish), so they didn't wanna get sloppy with it at all. With a trademark that is being gunned less by others or not at all, the mare minimum is enough (you're just keeping it alive, you can't be accused of not defending it if there isn't much to defend from, the defense clause is more reactionary).

    • @1monki
      @1monki 3 роки тому +4

Her only connection to "Ms. Marvel" is being a fan of Carol and debuted on Captain Marvel's book, but now you don't really see Carol (at least not on the avengers or her own book) even mention Kamala. Also just line up too well for Marvel's trade mark renewal. I think the creators had ideas of their own too, but there is no way with all of these things lined up like that didn't have an editorial touch. And if they're involved, they're thinking of that too, it is part of their job.

    "I will not let it go" Sasha confirmed reverse Elsa! Never let that one go girl, never!
    But I have to say, there is no legal restriction on DC calling her Captain Marvel IP by its original name. The problem is having a book called Captain Marvel... which is silly, Superman and Batman are more known for their books not named after themselves, and CM himself at the height of his first popularity sold about as many Marvel Family and Whizz comics (the original publication, arguably the main publication) as Captain Marvel Adventures - no need to have the name of the book be the name of the character, it is like DC is run by incompetent marketers. No, wait, it is not _like_ they are, they just are.

      True but it worked out better as it's just confusing to name a character after a rival company/character, even if that was his original name, "Shazam" fits better imo, as it's the word that transforms him, he's not a captain or not a Marvel property.

      @@j-asher Yeah, you're thinking like a marketer/IP manager, not a fan who actually follows the character and buys stuff.
      Also please, that argument, really? Marvel is a word in the English language, Marvel Comics doesn't have monopoly over it. And Captain is just a stable comic book character name part. It is a historical staple of the medium for decades. And it is not like comic book hero names were ever trying to be "accurate" descriptions, because they're not descriptions. That is why Daredevil isn't a demon, Spider-man isn't a spider and human hybrid, neither is Batman a bat hybrid, Superman isn't a man (as in man(kind), a human), Lobo isn't a Spanish speaking wolf or wolf of any kind, Cyclops has 2 eyes, Wolverine doesn't even dress with the motif of his namesake, Dr. Light (the first) isn't a doctor; and more important none of the following are actual Captains: Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, several versions of Captain American, Captain Britain (at least not on his debut, no idea later), Captain Marvel (Monica - she was a cargo ship captain at some point, honestly, doesn't count), the original Captain Atom, Captain Universe, and this is just a short list of popular and iconic ones that aren't and won't ever get renamed just because "not actual captains".
      Seriously, that argument is so bad and ignore pretty much the entirety of superhero comics history. It is just cheap rationalization, never do it again.

      @Will N Right. And that connects back to marketing because they're a company, they have to sell stuff. You don't want to constantly associate your character with something someone else owns. It would be like Marvel nicknaming Wolverine "Green Lantern." If Green Lantern's so awesome, maybe they should be reading Green Lantern instead. They're just giving their competitor free advertising. And confusing their readers, some of whom they hope will be kids, what's going to be in a book with that character name. It's understandable.

    I think the way she was introduced into the MCU feels less forced than this origin story. They went with the current Captain Marvel but didn't ignore Monica. Since she's had multiple aliases they can still use her character and they don't have to shoe horn the name in. Although I don't recall Carol Danvers being referred to as Captain Marvel by any characters in the films until "Spider-Man Far From Home" so I'm not sure how Peter knew to call her that.

      I feel like the MCU is fairly loose with when/if they actually refer to the characters by their superhero names. Like, I can't remember off the top of my head whether they ever refer to Nat or Clint as 'Black Widow' or 'Hawkeye,' respectively. We just know that's who they are. That's part of why I thought it was a little odd when they made such a big deal about the Scarlet Witch moniker in _WandaVision._ I'd been under the impression that everyone already knew that Wanda was Scarlet Witch.

    Given how the MCU really has so little time to introduce characters and the need to keep origin stories from being generic, I think both the MCU and Marvel comics did a good job introduction Monica. The MCU still does not have all of Monica's origin revealed and it gives us a chance to discover her and grow with her. I have a feeling that Monica's powers in part are due to the incident that has produced such a bad taste for Carol Danvers in S.W.O.R.D., maybe the same incident gave Monica's mother cancer and so everyone blames Captain Marvel which could lead to an interesting redemption story for both Carol and Monica.

      This is basically the only reason i suport Carol being the one true Captain Marvel. (Cause the only way she leaves the name now is dying and starring in the MCU is a one trick ticket to inmortality, so she is never leaving the name). Carol has a direct connetion to Mar-vell and even got her powers thanks to him, later retcons nonstanding, while Monica is the only sucesor of the name without connetions to the kree, never mind the Vell familly. So it makes perfect sense that Carol eventually took the name for good. Its a pity that it seminly helped burry Monica potencial. I do hope apearing in the MCU changes that. I disagre with the Photon name though. It always sounded a bit weird and random. For me, Spetrum suits her much more. I really dont get why the MCU is going for Photon. But as long as they do her good and rise her popularity, im okay with it.
