Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

So...
Considering that Humans and at least two other races (Xandarians and Asgardians) are physically indistinguishable, and that there used to be a minority race within the Kree who looked human (or something along those lines considering Mar-Vell) is it possible Carol didn't even know she was human in the first place?
One Strip! One Strip!
Dunno-it seems most of the races we have seen could initially pass for human if you concealed the pigmentation in their skin/hair/eyes. And a good chunk of them like the Xandarians appear to fall roughly within range of human physical and mental capabilities, so it is possible, I suppose. Depends on the specifics of her powers-in the comics, her physiology is quite different,including a more mixed Human/Kree biology than the Inhumans-depending on what her memories are, she might think she is just an unusual Kree.
Do we have any specifics yet of her range and source of powers, and if someone messed with her head? That happened a lot in the comics.
What? That's completely ridiculous...wait...
Ok, it was years before I realized that was him but still...wait...
...ok, maybe I buy it.
One Strip! One Strip!We do see in the trailer Carol in air force clothes being caught in an explosion and then lying on the ground while power flows from her hand. I think her creation being an accident is being kept.
Something I look forward to in Avengers 4 is that cosmic characters might know who Carol is already. I'd like to see Thanos recognise her. Especially as in the comics he can have moments of Antagonist in Mourning towards Mar'vell.
Or maybe "Thanos! We would have words with thee!
◊" since Ao U outright refused to use one of Thor's best lines in the entire character's history.
Look, if he's not shouting it accompanied by peals of thunder, then what exactly is the point?
Talking about Avengers 4 wish lists, I want a Fastball Special. Don't care if it's Carol throwing the Hulk or vice-versa - I've bought tickets to most of your ridiculous movies Marvel, I deserve this.

I just realized this is the first time I've seen a Brie Larson without lipstick.
My various fanfics.Peter probably doesn't even know what a Blockbuster is. Let that sink in.
This song needs more love.Loki and Scarlet Witch will be getting their own limited series for Disney's streaming services
, with Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen reprising their roles.

So...did they just confirm that Loki really isn't dead this time either?
I mean, we all suspected, so it's not a huge shock, but...
One Strip! One Strip!

I think with the voice it's ultimately just disposition rather than her actual tone or volume. We hear her talk in the film in what appears to be a period of mostly confusion and insecurity. Carol in the comics is past that point in her life and has refined her commanding presence, so it's easy to imagine her voice being different.
Basically, I imagine Brie's delivery will change as Carol comes into her own over the course of the movie.
