I’ve noticed that I never really hear much discussion about Captain Marvel in both comics and movie spaces, and so I’m curious how popular she is among people. I do come from a primarily MCU audience, and so I’m not too sure how she’s doing in the comics, but I remember seeing somewhere that she’s not all that popular.

For me personally, I think she’s alright. Like I said I come from the MCU, and so my primary experiences with her are Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, and The Marvels. If I’m being honest my two biggest issues is that she feels like a random addition to the universe, especially for a being as powerful as she is, we rarely ever hear of her.

But on top of that she’s also kind of stale. And I say that because she’s kind of perfect. Now I’m not one of those losers who hates on her because she’s a a strong capable woman, one of my favorite characters in the current MCU is Shuri, I like Black Widow, Gamora and Nebula are favorites of mine, etc etc. Like I said she’s just bland, she’s strong and capable and skilled, but that’s about it. There’s nothing more for me to really say about her. She shows up, wrecks shop, everyone says she’s awesome, and then she leaves. She feels more like a plot device than an actual character in the MCU and that’s a shame.

But anyways that’s my small tangent about her. I’m curious to see what everyone else thinks about her. Maybe I’m wrong and she’s super popular, maybe she’s written better in the comics, although I do remember her being the primary antagonist in Civil War II, so that’s not a great sign.

Do People Like Captain Marvel?
