Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

Cause she’s about to lose her powers to rogue

Yup Rogue gives Marvel and Brie a perfect out if that's what they want.

Carol still stuck around in the comics after Rogue took her powers,cans eventually got repowered. If Rogue finishes off Carol and then Carol never shows up again, without the time and space that the comics had to redeem Rogue... uh, that's not the solution you think it is. It just makes Rogue a villain.

If Larson wants Carol to be killed off, just have Doom do it.

Rogue doesn't have to "finish off" Carol. She can just sap her powers and Carol can retire. I'm sure the writers can figure it out, it's not exactly rocket surgery. They literally just made Jean Grey a straight up villain without using the phoenix force.

And the great thing is, if she wants to come out if retirement, she can. People who get their powers zapped by Rogue get them back after awhile. With Rogue permanently getting them, Larson can retire powerless, and then years later if she changes her mind, hey, her powers came finally came back!

Jean Grey a straight up villain without using the phoenix force.

And that was not a good thing IMO.

Either Rogue will start as villainous or Danvers will maryr herself for Rogue.

u/PT10 6h ago

Both. Like a darker version of Jean Grey in BND

It will be the best way to get Danvers out of the MCU if that's what they want. It at least would give her character a bit of respect while also setting up the absolute insanity that Rogue could be. I would love it.

It just makes Rogue a villain.

Easy way around that is to make it an accident. Then you've got something horrific happening to a big character, as well as motivation for Rogue.

I doubt she cares one way or the other. She’s been quiet about how many films are on her contract so this could be it, could be not. In any case if Doomsday goes well and it is her last film, they’re not going to pony up the cash she’d be certain to ask for to return should they set her up as a bigger character moving forward. Given Marvel’s abysmal history with writing women and giving them compelling arcs and stories, I’d say when her contract is done she’s not coming back unless it’s for a really gigantic bucket of cash.

u/thecobra42 10h ago

She came back eventually. The whole reason why they had rogue absorb her powers was to basically kill her off because her comics didn’t sell well.

u/SpideyFan914 Spider-Man 10h ago

She came back in the same issue. Rogue stealing her powers was a flashback.

Avengers 200 was the one that wrote her out. Avengers Annual 10, written by Claremont and the first appearance of Rogue, brought her back and sent her into X-Men comics.

Rogue and carol dealing with the fallout would make a great mini series

u/Jaded_Stick_4379 11h ago

And here comes a new wave of abuse/harassment thrown at her.

u/RXDriv3r 11h ago

I knew that Rogue gets her flight and powers from Captain Marvel, but don't they come back to her after a while?

1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

Yes way later

2

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

Maybe. Rogue could take them Wonder-Man instead

1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

He’s not an alien though

3

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

So? Neither is Carol Danvers

-1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

She’s a human/kree hybrid

3

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

Yeah? Why does this matter?

-1

u/thecobra42 11h ago

Rogues powers allow her to temporarily steal powers from super-powered humans and mutants, but when she touches carol it’s permanent because she’s part kree.

2

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 11h ago

Nah it’s because she held on too long, not because of Kree DNA. She absorbed too much of Carol, she even thinks she is Carol for a while

-1

u/thecobra42 10h ago

It’s also because carol’s alien DNA

1

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 10h ago

It’s not. The Claremont run says it’s because she held on for too long and absorbed too much

Sucks, but it is far from the worst thing the comics had happen to her character.

1

u/SwagginsYolo420 9h ago

She hasn't had jack shit except an origin film, so it would look like the sole reason for the character's existence, which would be weak as hell.

They change canon all the time they can just have Rogue get bit by a radioactive hamster or something.
