Behind the jokes and badassness, Captain Marvel is a fascinating character to me, because of how death follows her.

She causes an explosion. That explosion, which gives her powers and her immortality, canonically kills her. The Kree Empire resurrects her and makes her as Kree as they can. She shares Yon-Rogg's blood and his life, she's his creation, she's his victim, she's the one who causes his downfall, she's the one that destroys the system, the society, the planet that allowed her to be abused.

It's the Kree that see her as a killer and Annihilator. She's a monster of their own making, but it influences every species and planet she touches. Her victories cause death and her mistakes cause more death. Carol's triumph, the death of the Supreme Intelligence, results in the death of probably millions of Kree, and by consequence, almost causes the death of Hala's star.

"I'm only human" Carol says, before killing the Empire that is the reason that she can't ever be human again.

"We'll be back for the weapon," Ronan says, but that weapon will kill everything he stands for.

"Your life began the day it nearly ended," The Supreme Intelligence says, coldly, calculatingly. It's an AI. It doesn't have a good concept of death. It doesn't fully grasp that Carol had genuinely been killed that day, because she's still in front of it. Carol kills it.

"Death seems to follow you," Dar-Benn says, before she causes an explosion with the bangles, trying to defeat Carol. The explosion kills Dar-Benn.

Death follows Carol. Death follows Carol! Mar-Vell is dead. Maria is dead. Talos is dead. Soren is dead. Ronan is dead. Minn-Erva is dead. Korath is dead. Dar-Benn is dead. Yon-Rogg is, probably, dead. The Supreme Intelligence is dead. Natasha is dead. Tony is dead.

The only people in Carol's life who aren't dead are Kamala, Monica, Yan, Valkyrie, and Fury.

She watches helplessly as Dar-Benn almost murders Kamala after Kamala tries to save Dar-Benn's life, tries to find a way to solve the violence without death.

She watches helplessly as Monica gets torn into another reality, which for all she knows, she could die in. The tear in reality that was caused by Dar-Benn's death.

She tries to hide Yan's existence from her friends and tries to warn him and his people. The Kree soldiers aren't fighting to maim, they're fighting to kill. He escapes death by his own fighting skills and the fact that the Kree would rather focus on killing Carol than him.

Valkyrie and Carol interact once, and she only calls when she needs help after a fight, not during. Think about it. Valkyrie and the Bifrost could have helped the trio enormously. But Carol doesn't call until the fights are over. It would be very easy for a regular Asgardian warrior to die compared to superhumans.

And Fury... have you seen how often Fury comes close to dying? He's alive from skill and luck. He is lucky that he isn't dead.

Captain Marvel is so, so fascinating. Her story begins with her own death, and the more it goes on, the more death happens around her. Nobody is safe. She causes almost all of them, even the ones of her friends - not directly, but through the consequences of her actions. The consequences of her victories and mistakes. The consequences of her anger and revenge, her power and powerlessness. It is caused by both the Human and Kree sides of her, by both Carol and Vers, Captain Marvel and the Annihilator.

Carol is immortal. She can't die. And death follows her anyway.

The Marvels did more to tie in the multiverse to the mcu than Multiverse of Madness did

Something I realized awhile ago is Carol in Captain Marvel (2019) is probably so emotionless because of what the Kree did. Parts of her were missing/locked away which would affect her moods and personality. She’s more direct and soldierly. That starts to fade away when she realizes where she came from.

Now in The Marvels (2023), Carol is shows a lot more emotion even in scenes where it’s just her and Goose. She’s not as closed off and she’s more mature with her emotions (like reflecting on her feelings and then apologizes for snapping at Kamala). We learn later she’s been trying to recover her memories which would definitely allow her personality to show through in this movie. We also see her be a bit awkward with emotions around people, and that’s probably due to her still holding herself to a “soldier” standard and being fairly isolated in space. She’s more comfortable with Valkyrie and Fury and later on Monica and Kamala.

This was definitely character development and I don’t think Brie Larson should’ve played the character any differently in either movie. We’re supposed to see two different characters here. In Captain Marvel, it was Vers for the most part until her story is revealed. In The Marvels, it was Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.

The Marvels spoilers ahead

I went to see The Marvels again and I had some thoughts about ValCarol as they have taken up a lot of my mind.

Carol immediately went to hug Val when she got there, needing that comfort from her friend (possibly more than) and I really liked that scene between them. Val held her hands and gave her words of encouragement and it was so sweet! Val even had a nickname for Carol but I did find it interesting that it was her hero name and not her actually name.....I wonder why that is.

Val was so soft and patient with Carol and I wonder if she wants something more with Carol but maybe knows or thinks that she's not quite ready for that, a romantic relationship.

Or maybe they do have something more but haven't put a name on it or made anything official....I dunno

Carol hasn't at that point fixed her relationship with Monica and was still trying to fix/deal the situation she caused with the Skrull/Kree. So even tho she's lonely, I wonder if she thinks she isn't ready for love, either romantically or from family. She's just a little lost and vulnerable and it was an interesting character arc thing...I don't know what to call it.

Or I'm just spouting possible headcanons and just wanted to talk about them cuz I lost it during that scene with them. Ohmigoodness! I was so excited when Val showed up cuz I've seen in the past some like teasers for a ValCarol ship but didn't think it would go anywhere and then it possible did and I lost it!

A family can be a princess who married for tax purposes, a teen who writes fan fiction and a captain who can phase through walls and who’s aunt is a princess

ALSO VALCAROL TOO HOLY SHIT THE KISS

I HOPE THEY MEET AGAIN BECAUSE HOLY I LOVE THEMMM

Literally Kamala is me every single time she meets a hero

I LOVE MONICA RAMBEAU SHES SOO COOL

I love Monica nerding out and having to simplify everything for everyone

PRINCESS CAROL MY BELOVED

Okay I find it so cool that there was a whole planet that communicated through song (theatre kids would thrive there)

“He’s bilingual” I HOWLED THIS WAS HILARIOUS

LITERALLY KAMALA AND HER FAMILY ARE SO PRECIOUS

Prince yan my beloved tooo

GOOSE AND THE KITTIES OH MY GOD

WHEN MEMORIES STARTED PLAYING I WAS CRYING WITH LAUGHTER

MONICA’S SACRIFICE I CRIED SO HARD

BUT HOLY SHIT THE XMEN WHATTT

i am like actively so ill about the way shameless highlights generational trauma and parallels between abusive family members. ian exhibiting the same manic / depressive episodes as monica makes me so sick and unnormal. debbie immediately responding to mickey saying “yes, we know what this is.” because it’s something they’ve dealt with all their life and now their brother is going through it. their brother that they love is beginning to resemble their abusive mother through no fault of his own and it’s sick and twisted and amazing writing.

My attempts at figuring out birthdays tell me:

Holst: Between May 18th and July 24th

Monica : Between February 28th and March 14th

Rodrigue: Between June 5th and August 31st, but likely July?

(I made spreadsheets with everyone's ages in Hopes through the chapters but my thinking might have gotten wrong somewhere so take it with a grain of salt)

#few3h #Rodrigue's annoying because no one has a bday in the chapter after the one where he gets his bday #so i assume July bc of the timeskip #i need a tag for my few3h ramblings #dont ask me my logic for holst and monica i did these months ago aslshhjd i forgot everything #i just remember that holst always gets his bday at the same time as balthus lmao

[churchoftheconfusedchicken]

honeslty one of the most surprising and delightful experiences of the the past month was walking into the cinema with 7 of my male friends to see the marvels and sitting next to groups of young boys (maybe 9-10) and throughout the movie hearing them whisper “omg she’s so cool” “look she’s glowing! she looks like god!” “monica’s my favourite superhero”

#mcu #payton rambles #i mean i guess it makes sense they’re young enough that they didn’t grow up with iron man and captain america #but god hearing little boys defy the patriarchy and not only respect but admire women heroes was incredible #the marvels #captain marvel #monica rambeau #kamala khan

To Miles Teller and the rest of the cast, you & your agents should be held responsible for the wear and tear my heart and soul took while watching this MASTERPIECE.

Now if anyone needs me, I’ll be hunting down some much needed content of my loves ✌🏾
