I made no comment about genderbending popular characters, or race changing charcaters because I personally have 0 problems with any of this. I am nor racist nor sexist, but I do have a problem with a single charcater somehow turning up in three teams, sure, Iron Man and Hulk etc have been doing it for years, but Captain Marvel, a charcater who was pretty boring up until about 2013 when she was rebooted, but there has always been a feminist agenda with her stories and the carol corps in her fanbase. I mean the film was only really greenlit to get a female-led main charcater in the MCU. If it wasn't her we would probably see a Black widow movie coming out. I see the joke as a continuation of that joke that is not doing any harm to anyone, but it only being text could also be taken seriously.

As I said, I hope you understand is I have no problem with Feminism, in fact I would consider myself a feminist. Stuffing a once obscure female charcater down our throats is what annoys me because it is done because of feminism and Marvel's track record with women and sexulisation. I'm sorry this is long, but I feel if I am to justify the joke if it is not understood. Ok. So Carol Danvers is in the military, awesome, she has badass powers, also awesome, yet she wears a skimpy outfit and was also raped by her own child and a bunch of other stuff you probably already know. So, what I'm saying is she is a pretty setist potrayal yes? But marvel also have some great female charcaters, Scarlett witch, kamala Kahn, Jean Grey, yet they feel as she has the marvel name on her the new Captain Marvel needs to be paraded around as some attempt to justify the sexism in the past when in reality they have so many other females they could mae their headline feminist charcater.

sorry I have all these mistakes with spelling/grammar. Carol Danvers is far from obscure. She has been treated weirdly in the past, but so has every major female character, and she, unlike Black Widow, has not been constantly portrayed as a sidekick, and been treated horribly in films, Invisible Woman has been a frilly girly nightmare. Scarlet Witch has been useless on occasion.

Carol Danvers has a huge, loyal fanbase and is not being shoved down anyone's throat. She has, in recent years and without tons of retcons and changes whenever the writers get lazy (coughwidowcough).

This is not feminism. This is a popular character getting her due and being treated in the same way as popular male characters.

Also, I know you claim to be feminist, but you're comments indicate a slightly sexist slant.
