RUMOR: Marvel Set to Replace Avengers w/ “Young Avenger” Counterparts including Iron Heart, Ms. Marvel & America Chavez! Why this is a Terrible Idea! Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

If you look up "Young Avengers" on Wikipedia you will find an accurate list of the team's lifelong roster including Member(s): America Chavez, Hawkeye, Hulkling, Iron Lad, Kid Loki, Noh-Varr, Patriot, Prodigy, Speed, Stature, Vision & Wiccan. Why does Wikipedia have a more accurate understanding of Marvel's intellectual property?
No Miss Marvel is NOT on the Young Avengers. No Iron Heart is NOT on the Young Avengers. And America Chavez did not join the team until much later. They had at least two major story arcs before any of the newer members showed up and appeared in countless books without those members.
Iron Heart & Miss Marvel are on a DIFFERENT team altogether with Mile Morales, Amadeus Cho & others called "The Champions". What’s the point in building that series and getting people into those characters together under that banner if they’re not gonna honor the team they established here?
These were Icebergs fans could have pointed out. Join Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Geek Alive, as he breaks it all down.

EP 40 The Coolest Geek Alive

#MarvelFAIL The SAGA of “The MARVELS” - Chronicling TWO DECADES of trying to make CAROL DANVERS happen! Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Jesse Blaze Snider is The Coolest Geek Alive. We’re not far out now from the release of “The Marvels” and Jesse thought it might be nice to sum up the the fascinating road that got us here as it relates to Carol Danvers' (& Kamala Kahn’s) histories in the comic books. Marvel Comics just recently launched their 8th volume of “Captain Marvel” starring Carol Danvers despite the fact that the character has struggled to hold a readership since being officially upgraded to flagship character status, “Captain Marvel” now over twenty years ago! Despite a continued unending push to “make” Carol Danvers’ Captain Marvel happen the audience has NEVER bought in to the hype.
