Strength/power wise... Carol's above all currently known incarnations of MCU Hulk, is almost equal to Thanos who baby shaked the Hulk, and pre Stormbreaker Thor. Speed is quantifiable for now but she's visually the fastest character after Quicksilver bit the bullet. Me personally unless Galactus' heralds, Gladiator, or Sentry show up there's really no credible threat to her. Or they will just nerf her i.imgur.com/ptcLBKh.gif

That scrap should have been THanos vs Hulk Round 2. Yeah, when Thanos had beat back Thor and Cap I soooooo wanted Hulk to come give him a smack down. I get they were doing the Professor Hulk thing but how they handled Hulk was easily the biggest disappointment I had with Endgame

the MCU has actual gods in it. Grant Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a God. Maria Hill: You haven't been near his arms.
I mean, we can't argue with that logic, can we?!

Wow, 2 Marvel multiverse movies within 6 months? That's unexpected.
P.S. At some point they need to have a Tesseract vs Mind Stone fight: Capt. Marvel vs Scarlett Witch.

Personally, I'd prefer it if they left Captain Marvel to clean up abstract conflicts in far space and put their efforts into Wanda Maximoff as the flagship "strong female superheroine" if they must have such a thing. Elizabeth Olsen's performance hasn't been jaw-dropping so far, but it's certainly made a stronger impression on me than Brie Larson's with less than a fraction of the posturing. Why not give her more of a chance? She ticks all the boxes, really. Underappreciated and oft-mischarecterized minority background to explore? Unique powers that aren't just a copy of those of a pre-established male hero? No particularly strong attachment to a group with which she has to share the spotlight in non-crossover movies unlike, say, Storm or Jean Grey? Sure she played the waifu part in a romance subplot with Vision, but that ended with her personally killing him for the greater good, proving that she can engage in some conventional female characterization without being a slave to it when it doesn't make sense. Also a decision that all by itself is treated as demonstrating immense strength of character as Thanos acknowledges both to her and to Peter Quill when he tries to do it to Gamora. And she obviously looks rad as all hell in all her costumes, both feminine and bad-ass. And in ways that look unique and plausible and full of character, if a little cleavag-y so far, without ever resorting to spandex or CGI or anything resembling them. And they already went through the trouble of nerfing her a bit and grounding her powers so she doesn't feel overpowered in the movies, where they specifically had to exaggerate Carol Danvers' to make her on-par with the Avengers at all, let alone able to show them up. And even so, her face-off with Thanos in Endgame was a lot more intense and more of an "oh crap" moment than Captain Marvel's was. Given that's Mysterio Peter's shaking hands with, either is possible. Nobody ever knew how large Jake Gyllenhaal's head was until someone had to fit a fishbowl over it.

Janet was a founding member of the Avengers in the comics, why not bring in Hope for the MCU? Or Okoye? Give her something to do besides play second fiddle to T'Challa? Or Mockingbird? She was already on Agents of SHIELD, so she definitely exists in the MCU. Barring that, with the Eternals being brought on board, maybe they can use Sersi?

She was already on Agents of SHIELD, so she definitely exists in the MCU. Barring that, with the Eternals being brought on board, maybe they can use Cersi? Strictly true, though I can see why people who thought in such a way wouldn't be satisfied with Black Widow. While head and shoulders above even normal human combatants, she still isn't physically powerful enough to support any notion that she's equal to "the men" in a fight. Same with Okoye. I'm not well-versed enough in comic books to speak to those other characters. And Evangeline Lilly's character in Lost soured me a bit too much on her to appreciate the Wasp. It's really pretty sad that there isn't more of a call for new, original superhero women with actually unique powers who actually get to do their own thing instead of shoe-horning genderbent icons from the sixties into the franchise just as it gets to a point where it might actually pay off for it to innovate and try new approaches. I don't fancy myself either a comic book writer or a movie director, but I've played the various Marvel Universe Pen-and-Paper RPGs for some years, and making female Marvel characters with quirky powers and concepts and expanding on lesser known existing ones, like Marrow, who would never be seen as either a wannabe feminine icon or fanservice if adopted to the big screen isn't that hard. Which reminds me. If anyone here doesn't know the Worm Web Serial or its sequel, it's essentially to Marvel what A Song of Ice and Fire is to Tolkien. Only more so. And with by far the best-written female characters I've ever read, if that counts for anything: parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/06/11/1-1/Don't know if it's been mentioned in the thread before, but anyone interested at all in superhero stuff owes it to themselves to give the first three chapters a read.

Meh, Captain America is far from the strongest Avenger, but is by far my favorite. And was in fact the de facto "leader" of the Avengers in the first two movies.

He felt like something of a liability in the field in those two movies, until they figured out how to make him fight more dynamically in Winter Soldier. Being the one most focused on teamwork isn't that big a deal when you don't have much to contribute yourself, beyond vague leaderly-sounding phrases like "eyes up" and "stay sharp". His post-Winter Soldier fighting style is amazing though. And I could watch him bounce Mjølner off his shield in mid-air all day. Could be mad about cultural appropriation, but screw that shit. Anyone who can swing the hammer like that deserves to.

I like that her cockiness kind of got her in trouble in Endgame, its really...fortunate that Thanos didn't use the mind stone there.

So yeah?... www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2019/05/07/avengers-endgame-biodiversity/#6e47a3e6775bWasn't it stated by Natasha that Thanos wiped out 50% of all living organisms, and not just humanoids? Using common sense that should do irreparable harm to countless ecosystems (microbes) and result in mass extinction events across the universe. Using Steve's mention about seeing a pod of whales in the harbor as a justification for Thanos' snap seem paradoxical if that species population took a hit like every other species if the snap was evenly distributed. Did the Russos clarify any of this?

Finally got the chance to see it last night and thought it was decent overall. Some parts were really good other parts overwhelmingly "meh". It could have been a lot worse and I thought they were going to totally ruin it right near the end but somehow they managed to restrain themselves and keep the focus where it should have been. I'm sure most can guess the moment I am talking about.You mean how super-awesome & necessary Danvers' role in this film was? How they almost shoe-horned Cap Marvel into the film?

Did the Russos clarify any of this? I always figured that to be a simplification. Half the grassplanes shown aren't bare earth, and everyone hasn't died from half the bacteria in their intestines disappearing all of a sudden, so Thanos' snap must have only affected sentient species or those past a certain point of evolution. Or followed whatever other criteria he decided to enable the survivors to prosper, since that was his entire goal. Something that confused me more about his plan was that it's still only a temporary solution. Halved or not, population growth will still be exponential. Any species that has reached the point where overpopulation becomes an unavoidable concern will do so again within a few centuries, only then he and the stones won't be around to fix it. And that's just the current crop of sentient species across the galaxies. The universe has been around and will continue to be for billions of years. That snap, even if it served exactly the purpose he wanted it to, wouldn't even have made a tiny dent in all the misery and suffering and death due to limited resources that there has been and will be.

That snap, even if it served exactly the purpose he wanted it to, wouldn't even have made a tiny dent in all the misery and suffering and death due to limited resources that there has been and will be. Well Endgame did make clear that Thanos was a bit of meglomaniac ideologue. The problem and flaw in his logic...which the movie itself brings up...is that a lot of the universe does not really know what the hell happened or why half their people just were decimated. Hell its not even really that obvious what people on Earth know! All this being said as a preamble for I suspect that Thanos's answer to your question...what I think was in the Mad Titan's head...was that once he snapped and proved that the universe was better off 'balanced' that the survivors would impliment means of keeping their population control. Maybe even just every few centuries randomly killing off half their own people. Hell or have someone do it for the universe. He mentions to Gamora that he hoped to see her on his throne one day so that suggests he was planning on having someone else, a line of succeession, to keep an eye on the universe and make sure it stayed balanced. An insane plan but the whole plan was insane to begin with.

I always figured that to be a simplification. Half the grassplanes shown aren't bare earth, and everyone hasn't died from half the bacteria in their intestines disappearing all of a sudden, so Thanos' snap must have only affected sentient species or those past a certain point of evolution. Or followed whatever other criteria he decided to enable the survivors to prosper, since that was his entire goal. Something that confused me more about his plan was that it's still only a temporary solution. Halved or not, population growth will still be exponential. Any species that has reached the point where overpopulation becomes an unavoidable concern will do so again within a few centuries, only then he and the stones won't be around to fix it.

That he turned out to have thought his plan and mission and life's work through so poorly, and changed it so suddenly just because the heroes came up with a neat trick kind of cheapens his resolve and presence in Infinity War, and he was the best thing about that movie.
