Marvelman... Captain Marvel... they really ARE out of ideas, aren't they? Why is the company that professes diversity so anxious to DE-diversify (deverisfy?) an established female character? I realize that pre-whatever-the-hell-crossover brought about this costume that some artists were being overly generous to Ms. Marvel... so one could certainly hypersexualization,.

And lest you younger viewers and other children forget, she was MS. Marvel because "Ms." was a statement of female independence back in the 70s. Today it's just a joke, but when Ms. Marvel was introduced, she was intended to shake up the male status quo (along with Spider-Woman, She-Hulk*... yeah, there's a trend there.)

Now, if I understand correctly, Ms. Marvel is a teen-aged Muslim girl with entirely different powers? No doubt so named because they have to cash in on SOMETHING, and a new character likely would sell like rubber biscuits at the Donner Party family reunion picnic.

And anyone who is hypersexualizing an adolescent Muslim girl has far worse problems than comics. Not that comics are a problem, but I think you see my point.

Oh, and one last observation... short hair on a woman probably means lesbianism about as strongly as long hair on a man. And everyone knows that Jesus fellow was gay. (Referencing a totally different topic, but... as long as it was laying there...)

*Say, are Jessica and Jen still referred to as Spider-Woman and She-Hulk? I couldn't be surprised if they're not.

I don't think the costume is supposed to look like Miracle/Marvelman, but is as you said is a take on Mar-Vell's second costume. 

 I do find it funny that Marvel had a black female character called Captain Marvel for years, yet chose to make a white female character their new Captain Marvel and promoted it as a great step forward, in what seems was preparation for their movie line. But hey. who doesn't love a pretty blonde?

Me. I would much rather have had Monica Rambeau in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A much more interesting character with what would have been a visually unqiue set of powers.

Carol on the other hand has always been really dull to me, and borderline irritating. In fact the recent changes to her have put me off her character even more. Of all the female characters Marvel could have chosen to build a film around, it baffles me why they chose her.

I would much rather see the She Hulk or Janet Van Dyne in the Avengers spotlight.

Marvel is renewing the trademark to keep DC from snatching it up. What are you going to do?

I don't think I'd like a world without Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Ray Palmer,Johnny Storm, Natasha Romanoff or Warren Worthington III in.

And can we note that there's a difference between reviving totally defunct names and giving us six different Captain Marvels in 20 years (and none of them as good as the 40's or the 60's/70's versions).
