10 Reasons A Captain Marvel Film Would Be Awesome

7. Her Spotty History/Status In The Comics Aids In The Screen Transition

Carol Danvers spent the vast majority of her career as Ms. Marvel, basically the Supergirl to Captain Marvels Superman. However the correlation ends there, a better comparison in terms of status within the lore is that Ms. Marvel was Marvels version of Power Girl, without the heaping helping of misogyny. Despite being on the scene since the late 70€™s Danvers has seen her prominence in the universe fluctuate wildly. From marquee to afterthought, Danvers has been through it all, and that€™s actually a good thing in this case. Danvers lack of consistent status in the Marvel universe means that there isn€™t as much of a fanboy consensus on what the character should or shouldn€™t be. This gives the screenplay writers the freedom they need to create (destroy) the story based on the source material (that they will likely ignore). The formula would be similar to what made Iron-Man such a success, with a character with low expectations flying in under the radar of fanboy expectations.

Dante R Maddox got started in writing about pop culture in 2007. He developed his conversational style majoring in English and minoring in speech communication, his desire to write as if he were speaking to the reader face to face was the bane of many professors. An odd blend of geek cred and regular fella chic', you're just as likely to end up talking about baseball or politics as you are about comic books and movies (just don't mention Tucker Carlson, you are addressing the man who will go to jail for assault in the future after all). He wrote a book called The Lineage of Durge that's available on Amazon for a small amount of money, he's writing a second while acting as Editor-in-Stuff over at Saga Online Press, there is a graphic novel expansion of his book series also in the works as well as continued development of his cheesecannon, one day Canada...one day (Seriously, a piece of ham, you slice it up and now it's bacon?!?!? I say thee nay!!!)
