      @@BlerdWithoutFear The first time Monica makes an appearance she's rocking a righteous afro. And then in some of the comics her hair is very straight and get skin is several shades lighter than her first appearance. The preview image you have of her isn't that bad. Now, when some newbies look at some of these images they think that actresses with lighter skin and straight hair, like Rosario Dawson (and other actresses with "racially ambiguous" features), for example should play her if it goes live action.

The fact that she led the Avengers, went toe to toe with some of the biggest and baddest in the universe and won, she's forever in the GOAT category.

    • @BlerdWithoutFear
      @BlerdWithoutFear  5 років тому +10

      Monica is one of my favorites. Her only problem is that she suffers from a problem that characters like Superman tend to get saddled with. "So powerful that they're very difficult to write for." I like Carol, and I get why she's the frontrunner. She's been around a long time. Storm has her place as one of the most powerful beings in existence. And she is/was Queen of Wakanda. Intellectual property rights, up until recently, made them being frontrunners virtually improbable

      @@BlerdWithoutFear I feel like the true point of a Superman story(and characters like him) isn't about who's the most "powerful". Superman's most dangerous enemy is arguably Lex Luthor, who's superpower is basically his genius.
      Both Superman and Batman are crazy OP in their own ways, but their best enemies are people who find the cracks in their armor. Luthor can turn entire nations against Superman, which renders all those powers kinda useless(you can't just slaughter everyone who takes Luthor's side).
      Or put another way, the USA is "over-powered" compared to the rest of the planet. We have the most expensive military, bar nothing. Yet, we still got rolled by a bunch of low-tech lunatics who turned our technology and money against us. I guess what I'm saying is, in Superman's case the problem imo is often not his power level, but the writing.

    • @LarryDWilmore79
      @LarryDWilmore79 5 років тому +7

      The problem is Marvel has a way of creating black powerful female characters with a weakness that effects their power and hinders them from reaching their full potential.
      Storm was the most powerful X-Woman but because of Jean, who was naturally weak, Storm had to be written down. Claustrophobia and the fact that she’s human yet a mutant made her more less powerful than could be. But her power could not be denied so they had to upgrade Jean. Even wrote Storm to deny an upgrade twice.
      Jean, Scarlet, Carol, Emma, Rogue (now immortal), Jubilee, Mystique, Psylocke and all other race of female heroes will always have an advantage over black female heroes.
      Ororo, Monica, M, Cecilia Reyes etc...

When someone says "Captain Marvel" she is the hero that comes to my mind. Not to be confused with Mar-Vel the alien soldier or Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) who was so uninteresting that they had to reboot her title 6 or 8 times in less than a decade.
