Marvel should of pushed She Hulk

Jen is a successful lawyer and a freak..... shyt would of made feminist and frat boys happy as fukk. Also at least she is interesting as a character beyond just being Bruce's cousin.

has there ever been a character to get as many pushes as carol that dont take? theyve been trying to make so much of her for so long, and only her few diehards are sticking around

Hmm Pixie got a hella push....she still has 0 fans.

Surge didn't get more of a push than Pixie.


Pixie got her own damn mini and was in a bunch of the x-events for a minute.

and they give her a mantle synonymous with failure to boot.

surge was headlining books for a hot minute. i dont think she had a solo, but she was a focus of new xmen

Captain Marvel is a cool name.. but damn are you right about that.


She shoulda went from Ms. Marvel to something original. But really I think Carol was not the female character to push..


Marvel woulda been better off creating a new female character that wasn't legacy or tied to the x-men/inhumans/whatever.

Give her a cool/interesting powerset
"ultimate/movie" design
Get good writers on the book. So no dumb ass rape plots.
Keep the book inprint even if it dips to cancellation numbers. Take the hit in the short term, for long term gain.

Yea there was some focus on her, because all the books she was in were team books..

but she wasn't gettin pushed


I would say above mercury, dust, but below X-23 and Pixie. To not even talked about once Hope got her x-men series

most took a dip when hope became the focus, then after avs x hope hit the bushes for young jean

but pixies not really hitting them notes either. idie is more popular than she is

This isn't some comi milatant bullsh*t in bringing in here.. But what the fukk is up with damn near every god damn black man in comics paired with a non black love interest?

I'm catching up on some of Marvel's stuff:
Ultimate Falcon with a damn Robot
Miles Morales father with a non black women
Miles Morales(side bar, why is this nikka always telling people who he is and running around with his mask off? ) was with the white Hydra chick.
Luke Cage with a white woman
Cloak is with dagger(at least ultimate cloak was)

Is it me or am I bugging?

Oh yea ever since I started reading comics I've always thought Danvers was corny.

because bendis writes the character so safe that it doesnt matter.

I don't know what grown woman hero marvel should push tbh. (kids like Ms Marvel aside)

I look at DC's top 2 (Harley, WW) and I see why ppl like them. Both can be hyper sexualized in their attire but have distinct personalities (playful/'bad girl'... and nurturing/'xena warrior princess') that both men and women find appealing.

It's also why i think America Chavez honestly could've had more potential if they had kept her straight and catered her to latinas as this edgy supergirl type young adult who is street smart, cultured but still has hipster tendencies. Bc she has the attire/sex appeal that women would still find tasteful + a great powerset + 2 birds 1 stone diversity (feminism, hispanics).

Whereas current Captain Marvel just feels like that 35+ year old chick at the club whose still tryna get chose
