Ms Marvel trailer

So that means you don't like any of the Spider-Man films either? Set in high school, after all. Or is it because they actually chose an actress who is close to her character's age, rather then being 8-12 years older than the character?

Maybe it's not your false dichotomy, but rather because the tone of the preview was very teenage Disney show.

According to Wiki it was 1990. I certainly never came across the character when I was comic-reading age.

Moon Knight first appeared in the series Werewolf by Night in 1975. According to Wiki, his first solo series was in 1980. I remember having stats for Moon Knight in TSR's Marvel superheroes game in the 80s. Though, honestly, I can't remember ever reading a Moon Knight comic in the 80s though he appeared in some other books I read.

It looks to me like Ms Marvel is aimed at a younger audience which isn't a bad thing. I think it looks pretty good too, but I don't think it's going to be a show for me. Which, again, is fine. I think it's great their producing a good superhero show for younger viewers. But I'm one of those weirdos who can be happy when I see others enjoying something I'm not into. But I'm going to watch a few episodes at some point I'm sure. Without exception, the Marvel shows have been top notch.

I know some people here are not sure about this show, but just remember that after this, Ms Marvel will be a bigger part of the MCU, costarring in the next Captain Marvel movie, and who knows what else besides that. So better to watch this and get used to her now.

Seeing her in The Marvels is where I am most excited to see Ms. Marvel. Captain Marvel is a longtime favorite of mine from the comics, so I always look forward to her appearances and I really like Brie Larson in the role. I am also curious, after seeing Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, where they take her character.

The late night emergency rewrite (apparently) that led to Avengers 200 kind of set things in motion for Claremont and Avengers Annual 10...

I read Avengers 200 when it originally came out and since I was just a kid I didn't see any of the problems with the story that my adult-self now finds painfully obvious. Thankfully, Claremont did his best to address it in his Avengers annual. However, the George Perez art in Avengers 200 is still awesome.

He was my friend's favorite hero in the 80's and he had his own comic from 1980 to I want to say the mid to late 80's. Hard to remember after all this time.

Likely, some avoiding stepping on the inevitable Mr Richards arrival by mirroring his abilities as well.

Yeah I understand why they changed it - undercutting Reed Richards schtik, better link with the “Captain Marvel set” and stretching looks kinda dumb on screen. But it does seem that with the energy constructs they have inadvertently undercut Sue Richards since I recall her doing the air walk trick with her ‘invisible force fields’ too
Then of course the Green Lantern parralels (sux to you WBDC)

it looks to be aimed at the younger Nickolodean demographic, which is cool - I love the MCU for its abity to adapt different genre to the Supers trope (that seems backwards). I’ll give it a watch, they might surprise us

I'm thinking since it's a Marvel character, especially since there are arm bands reminiscent of his Quantum Bands, that comparisons to Quasar are more appropriate than Green Lantern.

Yeah maybe, but Quasar is really obscure and has never been referenced in the MCU - we havent even got Nova, despite the Nova Corps being a thing, so I dont think Quasars on the radar. If they have made Kamala the Quasar proxy then I’d be sad…

My first thought regarding the bands was that Shang-Chi‘s ring were already turned into bands, so these bracelets would fit that model too (Scorcerers have been shown with energy bands around their wrists too, so it seems to have become an MCU motif)

Usually something like that is the sign of multiple writers and editors pulling a character around in different directions...

It is the sign of a character that's been around since 1977. A four decade history will sound complicated when you cram it into a paragraph.

Usually during that period characters didn't go through quite that many backflips, though (in the last decade or so, this appears to be less true).
