When I first met you, that’s what I remember. I looked up at the sky and thought, I’m going to love this person because even the sky looks different.

Mortals. I envy you. You think you can change things. Stop the universe. Undo what was done long before you came along. You are such beautiful creatures.

– Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures

Yknow, if reboots are what Hollywood wants to focus on right now, I'd be open to somebody trying Beautiful Creatures again

Ethan Wate has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, and is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

As much as I consider Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) to be one of my all-time favorite fictional characters, she apparently used to be quite the little Ms. Grinch during the holiday season…

…though in recent years, Kamala has matured beyond that phase of being bitter and jealous during other religious holidays like Christmas, and has learned to relax and have fun on holidays reflective of her own Islamic beliefs like Eid!

From Gwenpool Special (2015) #1 by Margaret Stohl & Juan Gedeon, and Ms. Marvel (2015) #19 by G. Willow Wilson & Marco Fallia.

I'm sure you're right but why do you dislike the Carol Corps when you're such a Carol Danvers fan???

First, never assume anyone on the Internet you don't know is a dog is right.

In case this wasn't clear I consider myself foremost a Marvel's Marvel Family fan. Anyone who has held one of the Marvel Family titles (Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Protector of the Universe, Quasar, etc.) and their supporting cast is part of it. I think it should be more often conceptualized as such, the way the DC Marvel Family (or the Batfamily, the Spider-Family, etc.) is, with one ongoing per character regularly crossing over, maybe a common editorial, etc.

The Monica fandom is fairly friendly with the Vells fandom/general cosmic Marvel fandom, the Kamala fandom, etc. united under the stance of wanting more exposure for their characters, while the "Carol Corps" (ie those who are KSD stans first and foremost) are extremely hostile to any Marvel Family content outside what's in the footprints of Kelly Sue DeConnick (and you know how I feel about her characterization).

This can have an undercurrent of queerphobia like the attempts at making cosmic Marvel "more mainstream" (ie straight) certainly, but what is most overt is just how insanely racist they are, which I'm certainly not the first to notice. (I mean, Monica fans were already fighting KSD on this very site over this that she had to write (as the sixth issue of her run) a story acknowledging Monica (which she never did for Phyla btw) and having her team up with Carol, but with Carol absorbing Monica for a power-up, which might have been a way to "get at" the Monica fans who were bothering her under the pretense of appeasing them.)

However, it became an increasingly major problem after the movie was released (with its infamously racist treatment of the Rambeau family, and arguably of Nick Fury), bringing a lot of attention to the characters. It has resurfaced as the "Carol Corps" lash out at any news suggesting that Monica or Kamala might get more exposure (as the director and writer of the sequel is a black Monica fan), like when the name "The Marvels" was revealed, when SLJ called Monica the Black Captain Marvel, even with something as anodyne as the account for movie news updates posting a comic-book panel of Monica.

https://twitter.com/search?q=%22In%20Marvel%20mythology%2C%20Captain%20Marvel%20is%20the%20legacy%20of%20Mar-Vell%22%20OR%20%22was%20forcibly%20named%20CM%22%20OR%20youtu.be%2Fl2Y8VXoCpcE&f=live

This behavior has gone widespread with functionally no overt pushback from editors and writers. I mentioned that KSD issue with bizarrely racist subtext surrounding Monica borne out of a fight with Monica fans on here (which may not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and I don't think KSD is a racist, at least against black people, but it represent the earliest spat – the general lesbophobia surrounding Phyla-Vell, Tracy Burke, and Avril Kincaid under KSD and Stohl is quite more concerning).

This has led modern cosmic Marvel writers to ignore Carol's existence as much as editorial will let them to (LoCM makes her basically unwrittable in a cosmic Marvel context anyway, which was the point), while Monica Rambeau writers have made their distaste for the racist treatment of the character, and in particular for KSD's run and the MCU, quite clear, indirectly in the comics themselves through not always subtle jabs, more directly outside of them (1, 2).

That situation will continue as long as the "Carol Corps" is the way it is and there's no real effort to push back against it and put all the Marvel Family characters on an equal footing.
