If anything, it seems an embarrassing thing to tout. "MCU 10 Years (11 now)... and we just now did a female-led movie! And it's none of the potential female leads we've introduced to you in the past 10 years!"

I would think they'd want to just avoid that angle altogether.

Comicbook fans when seeing Captain Marvel: FINALLY, FEMALE REPRESENTATION!

Anime/Manga/Sci-fi/Horror/many other genres of entertainment with lists of strong female representation: Took you long enough, peasant.

That never really occurred to me either. Good point.

Same.

Marvel does a female-led CBM! No, not Black Widow. No, not Wasp. No, not Scarlet Witch.

...

If those are the only interesting main female characters they've even introduced in 10 years, that's a little sad.

[Jester]

Sif? Oh...Gamora, Nebula, and Mantis.

They're the only female Avengers, but theres also Peggy Carter (she got a show...but no movie). Many of the other women are side characters or love interests. Pepper, Jane Foster and Darcy, Hill and Sharon Carter...any others?

Marvel's TV is probably better with May, Quake, Simmons, Mockingbird, Jessica Jones, Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Karen Page...

Okay, I did totally blank on the female Guardians.

I've seen a rumor that Sif could get a show on Disney+ or whatever, but I haven't been able to find that rumor again, unfortunately... should've bookmarked the article.

[Jester]

I've heard that about the Sif series also I think they were also planning a Loki and Scarlet witch series if I'm not mistaken.

Oh and Adam according to feige Sif be dead.

Killed off camera is the worst way to go!

"Sif was among the many who died when Thanos completed the Infinity Gauntlet and wiped out half the life in the universe."

I'm pretty sure the Loki and Scarlet Witch series are actually confirmed, not just rumored.

Man, that sucks...

At least Thor's Three Stooges got to die on camera. Waste of a talented actress and a character with a ton of potential.

But nah, let's keep Padme in those movies talking about sea bass.

At this point, characters eliminated through the Thanos finger snap have a far better chance of getting second life than anyone killed through more traditional means like the Stooges Three.

They should change the name of the movie from Captain Marvel to Captain Mehvel

[Andrew NDB]

Has anyone heard the "Fury theory"?

Spoiler:

In Captain Marvel he tells Captain Marvel something unique to him. He says he never eats diagonally cut toast.

Apparently he ate diagonally cut toast in Age of Ultron. Thus maybe is a Skrull.

[Leo656]

I can see that being the kind of thing that was a simple continuity error, BUT, now that people notice it, may very well be woven into the story so they can pretend that it was always planned.

I've lost count of all the stuff like that they've done, but thankfully there are literally dozens of articles out there that keep track of it all. To be fair, the producers have usually been pretty candid about going "Yeah, that was a goof, BUT, it worked out in the end" when called upon about these sorts of things. It would be annoying if they insisted that every single "oops" was indeed just part of the larger scheme from the beginning, rather than something they later retrofitted to make sense.

So yeah, it probably meant nothing BUT now it'll probably mean something.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Weeeeell, we DO have a possible tie-in to Secret Invasion, due to

Spoiler:

Carol helping the Skrulls find a new homeworld after the Kree destroyed theirs. Their Queen finds a prophecy that she thinks leads them to Earth as a new home.
The Skrull Queen could very well be Talos's little girl, since the movie takes place 25 years before the rest of the MCU.

Ok, so my thoughts- as a fan of the character and Marvel heroes in general, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For all the detractors who claimed Brie didn't show enough emotion? Actually, her plot arc actually revolved around her doing exactly the opposite, letting her emotions take over and losing control. So she was trying to keep them in check- and mostly failing. Saw her smile, laugh, and get angry plenty of times. So much for that bs.

Ok so.... I have a theory now. It involves Goose and

Spoiler:

the Tesseract. So we know SHIELD had it since Howard Stark found it at the bottom of the ocean while looking for Cap's plane. But then somehow Lawson had it aboard her laboratory ship. But Project PEGASUS was housed in the very same facility Loki later infiltrated, so it is likely she and Stark knew each other. Also, there was an arc reactor aboard her ship- evidence they worked together at some point. My thinking is that she borrowed it, or was keeping it safe, up until the Kree found out about her engine and tried to take the piwer source. Since she was helping the Skrulls, she had to keep it away from them, and had Carol destroy the engine, which caused her powers. Enter the cat. He was loose in the facility, probably because Lawson beought him with her. He attatched to Carol, and later to Fury. And he ate the Tesseract during the events of the movie. But then later (we don't know when, but it was the last end credit scene, AFTER the one with the Avengers scanning the death toll from the Snap, and it happened to be in Fury's strangely EMPTY office) he hocks it back up. And given that we don't know how long Flerkens live, it is possible that he did it after the Snap. So it could have been in his stomach the whole time, in temporal paradox with everything else that happened. What if Strange used the Time stone to snag it at some point in the past, and send it to the 1990's to get swallowed by the cat? Interesting trivia about flerkens, their stomachs are pocket dimensions in SPACE and TIME. That's why they can swallow such large objects whole. It would have protected the stone until it could be used again to help undo what Thanos did.
