Monica Rambeau
Is she annoying or what..
Lt. Trouble annoying? Naaahhh!
I think her hero character arc is following a pretty standard pattern and she is doing a more than decent job acting through the events placed in front of her. (Her idolized parental figure dies, her Superhero idol appears to have abandoned her best friend and may even have had the power to save her Mom. She harbors a bitterness and has to struggle through her own grief but attempts to save another.)
Monica's ability to project empathy and stand by her convictions make her a pretty sympathetic character. I am interested in seeing how this series ends just to re-watch and see what kind of impact Monica really had on the episodes.
She got her powers by intentionally/stupidly going through dangerous nonsense for no logical reason without a plan and then immediately went head to head with Wanda...
Standard hero my foot 👣.
You mean standard mary sue.
Didnt tony stupidly attack thor in avengers 1? Didnt he stupidly go to titan to fight thanos even though he knew he was no match for him, or is it only a problem when women do it?.. she has been in the hex before and gained control of herself when she was in there so she felt she could go in again.
shareTony had two movies under his belt before he attacked Thor and the only reason he attacked him was Thor had just taken Loki. There was not time for him to sit back and decide the best plan. He also did not really know how strong Thor was.
As far as Thanos goes, Tony basically knew who Thanos was and what threat he meant for the world. I think it was also part of Tony's a character arc to learn to trust so going on it by himself was part of that.
Monica, just got her powers a few minutes before and knew that Wanda was even stronger than Thor. I think what Sagemaster is saying is that when the vehicle failed she should have tried to figure out a B plan instead of going right in.
or is it only a problem when women do it?
Steve Rogers jumps on a hand grenade.
Tony Stark and Bruce Banner execute a snap of the Infinity Gauntlet.
Don Blake (Thor) challenges the Destroyer Armor.
Monica Rambeau goes back through the hex after surviving two trips and now it is "stupid"?
Their plans and objectives were to save lives.
Monica's plan was to contact and reason with Wanda and try to convince her to stop the madness. On her first and second trips through the Hex, Monica had made a connection and "felt" Wanda similar to the way Wanda and Vision were connected in Infinity Wars.
I was wondering how long before the Anti-Mary-Sue brigade appeared. Must be Friday and a female "doing" things was on the screen.
See how the rest risked death to directly save lives..
See how Monica risked death to talk to wanda because of feelings..
Not the same thing,

Yeah they're making her into "super black woman who's right about everything". Also I'm not sure if it's her clothes but she seems to have an oddly shaped posterior.

As opposed to the extremely common "super white guy who's right about everything" that's been a staple of TV and movies since forever?
A strong character that is different than what I am?! Preposterous! Oh how I cannot stand to see such a thing!
shareTony has admitted his fuck ups this entire series. It's what motivates him to save and help people; unlike say Cap...who is never wrong.
share[–] VanZan (180) 7 hours agoThis is the one topic I REALLY wanted to stay out of and ignore. It is petty, small, mean-spirited and a tad sexist.

I do not see that at all.
shareI like her but she seems to have a background (sadness about not being their for her mom, anger at Captain Marvel for not saving her mom) that we can work with but is basically being used as a plot device.
shareIn the comics she has no connection to wanda,vision or Captain Marvel in her orgin. She didn't come from a single mommy either,her father was her hero. I can see why this is woke
