they should make captain britain a pakistani for the reaction

I'm sure they would, if there was ever any chance of a Captain Britain movie.

There was actually a stretch of time (from the late 90s through to the 2000s) where there was no Captain Marvel.  The guy version died of cancer in a public-service/awareness stunt (and he wasn't super popular anyways)

That seems a little unfair.  The Death of Captain Marvel is pretty great; whatever Starlin's motivations, it's definitely a real story.

That may be the most amazing athletic performance I have seen.

It could work, but it would feel weird.  Carol Danvers has always been one of those characters whose adventures are deeply intertwined with the Marvel Universe as a whole.  Maybe if she were to break out in an Avengers movie, but not before that.

Well, I think Hollywood's seminal fear of making big budget action movies anchored by women (I can only think of Angelina Jolie having succeeded in these roles) will probably be the biggest dampener.

I don't know how could they make the origin story without a male Marvel, either. I think a big part of her pathos is how she receives these powers from him and sets herself to be the kind of hero Mar-Vell was, and ends up replacing him entirely.

Kamala's the new Ms. Marvel.  Ironically, Carol Danvers is the new Captain Marvel, so she's pretty much fulfilled the role she was originally designed for now.

I concur.

Towson, Class of '12.  Who says the Tigers don't have top notch athletes.  :wubba:

At just five feet tall, Catanzaro was an award-winning Division I all-around gymnast for the championship Towson team, which she led to a 20-5 record as a senior and a four-year mark of 75-16. As a senior, she was named the NCAA Southeast Regional Gymnast of the Year and the ECAC Gymnast of the Year. She won the all-around title at the ECAC Championship meet and the ECAC title on the bars, before graduating in 2012.

What's more impressive is that she made it out of TSU without becoming white trash.
