Maybe all the time travel gives us a timeline with Katheryn Winnick as Captain Marvel
Wow people sure love CM! This thread is still going after all this time?
You guys are the true CM obsessionists....
Sent from the inside of a giant slug in outer space.....
Really??
But this is! Her best scene in the film IMHO.

Ralph tells Alice about CM in Endgame.
Why is there a discussion over CM's hair? Is there some subtext I'm missing?
While I don't think it was a great movie, and her character was a bit grating some times, I'm curious about a new movie with Captain Marvel. It'll be interesting to see which way the character develops.

No problem....I can see why it might seem like there's missing subtext, especially to a non-native English speaker, cause nobody wanted to come out and use the word "lesbian" and was just dancing around it. So I figured I'd just explain it as matter-of-factly as possible to not create any unnecessary drama.
There's discussion about her hair because it abruptly changed after the time gap in End Game. It radically changed her appearance. I don't see why that's a surprising thing to discuss. Thor also had different hair and had a giant fat gut, and that was discussed as well. So that's not a big deal.
This iteration of Captain Marvel doesn't appear to be popular, since her book has been canceled several times, so it might have been a surprise for some viewers to see it directly acknowledged on screen. I'm not a fan of the character in any form, but if you forced me to choose between the long hair and the short hair, I'd go with the long hair.

This was the first thing that came up when I googled Captain Marvel's monthly sales figures:
https://cosmicbook.news/captain-marvel-comic-sales-crumbling
I thought "Aha...my point is proven!" but upon reading it, it's not a factual article at all. Just appears to be an opinion piece by someone that hates Captain Marvel....but there's 73 comments by people arguing back and forth about it, so maybe someone presents actual facts there.
The blogger says the most recent issue only sold 30,000, but as far as I know, that's not even that bad in today's horrible comic book market, so that's hardly an indication of whether or not it's a successful book. Also, Marvel allegedly has a habit of overshipping books and only reporting the number shipped, not the number actually sold, so we'll probably never know.
The honest truth is CM was fairly unknown-by the general public....
Along with Hawkeye, BW, Vision, SW, WS, etc etc....
None of which really could carry a title for long on their own.
