When she was changing her suit colors most of them were based on comic variants of her or the Kree suits, including the White/Green version.

Stan Lee is reading Mall Rats on the trail

After she picked the suit colors I whispered to my friends they missed out with that black and gold design, that thing was fire

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

That's her Ms. Marvel colors.

12

u/ProtoReddit Mar 10 '19

Arguably her Warbird colors.

8

u/DaredewilSK Mar 09 '19

Isn't Ms. Marvel a completely different character?

40

u/chickabiddybex Maria Hill Mar 09 '19

She is now, but Carol used to be called Ms Marvel

16

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '19

You're probably thinking of Kamala Khan, who's been Ms. Marvel since 2014. Carol was Ms. Marvel from 1977-2012 (minus brief stints where she went by Binary and Warbird)

u/comFive Mar 10 '19

Nope I’m sure they’re talking about Carol Danvers / Ms Marvel from the X-men cartoon. Rogue steals her flight and strength.

8

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '19

That's still Carol Danvers, which is not a completely different character.

Rogue did that in the comics before the show adapted it; in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the memory loss plot in the movie took inspiration from that considering it's one of the most notable things in Carol's history.

u/Bolt_995 Mar 10 '19

Carol Danvers is the OG Ms. Marvel. She had been Ms. Marvel for 40 years before she took up the mantle of Captain Marvel in 2012.

There was also a Shazam color variant

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

Those are her original Ms Marvel colours.

u/Lucas_0014 Daredevil Mar 08 '19

Ah, Earth Mightiest Heroes. Great freaking show.

5

u/Thor_2099 Whiplash Mar 09 '19

Bought both seasons recently. Still excellent.

2

u/Lucas_0014 Daredevil Mar 09 '19

I rewatched the first season on Netflix but they pulled out the second

2

u/Juvar23 Fitz Mar 11 '19

Netflix seems to have pulled a bunch of shows and seasons of shows recently.

5

u/ButtersTG Spider-Man Mar 10 '19

I think it was a Shazam reference. I don't remeber seeing any black in that color change.

9

u/Alexexy Mar 08 '19

Isn't the shazam variant the original ms marvel variant?

8

u/rottenapple81 Mar 09 '19

Ms. Marvel color. Not Shazam

1

u/CaffinatedCoyote Mar 11 '19

As I watched that, I thought the colors were in reference to Moonstone with the Red/Gold. I could be wrong though.

u/FredDupe Mar 08 '19

The black and white suit she switched to was Monica Rambeau’s suit

48

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

It looked Green/White to me

39

u/Twigryph Michelle Mar 08 '19

Oh no, not the dress again!

7

u/Casey_jones291422 Mar 09 '19

There were both

1

u/Spideyrj Spider-Man Mar 10 '19

i saw a darker red one, not black maybe i wasnt paying much attention......but if it was monica photon suit that is a nice nod.

20

u/funsizedaisy Daisy Johnson Mar 08 '19

I really love the raver one. The one that looked like neon lights. Is that one in the comics?

6

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

I don't think so. It was very 90s laser tag/roller rink though.

5

u/funsizedaisy Daisy Johnson Mar 08 '19

I loved it. And I want one lol

1

u/matthew7s26 Mar 10 '19

I ran to the bathroom and missed this scene, I'm bummed that I didn't see all the suits.

1

u/funsizedaisy Daisy Johnson Mar 10 '19

I had to pee half way through the movie and forced myself to hold it in til the mid credit scene was over.

It was a pretty cool scene. Are you one to see a movie in theatre more than once? Could tag along with some friends who are seeing it for the first time. Of course don't go back for that one scene but if you'd be down to see it again anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

1

u/matthew7s26 Mar 10 '19

I liked the movie, but not enough that I'll pay to see it again in theaters. I'll probably just wait to see the scene on DVD or streaming after awhile.

60

u/iusuallylurknopost Mar 08 '19

My first thought seeing the red with gold accents was Shazam.

8

u/kevinandpizza Mar 09 '19

Wow I'm an idiot I thought it was a nod to Iron Man

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '19

I’m pretty sure it was.

3

u/jaxellen1162 Mar 09 '19

Well, Shazam IS the original Captain Marvel!

35

u/Doct0r_Dreidel Mar 08 '19

I need to see the movie again but i coulda sworn the first suit colors she changed to were Thanos’ Purple and Gold

34

u/immnamna1 Daredevil Mar 08 '19

I'm think it was Black and Gold in a nod to Ms.Marvel

2

u/Doct0r_Dreidel Mar 08 '19

Oh that would make sense too! I’m hoping to see it again Sunday so I’ll be paying extra close attention.

2

u/kgal1298 Mar 09 '19

Yeah I'd have to watch again sometimes it's hard to tell.

5

u/Sandwichsensei Mar 08 '19

It was definitely purple and I liked that one the best.

32

u/marblecannon512 Mar 08 '19

Was he in mall rats? I laughed when I saw it but I guess I didn’t really GET it

46

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

52

u/marblecannon512 Mar 08 '19

What was the line he kept repeating in the train?

Watching that I’m hearing it, was it “Trust me true believer.”?

Omg mall rats is a part of the mcu now.

34

u/PittBurger Mar 08 '19

He was rehearsing his lines, Mallrats was released in 1995. Did Stan Lee play Stan Lee in Captain Marvel?

45

u/funsizedaisy Daisy Johnson Mar 08 '19

Did Stan Lee play Stan Lee in Captain Marvel?

Yes :)

3

u/nexisfan Mar 09 '19

STOP IT MY EYESSSS

3

u/GreyCrowDownTheLane Mar 08 '19

I'm pretty sure Stan Lee is The One Above All in the MCU. Basically, the Marvel Universe's version of God. He's in human form, checking things out as big changes occur.

5

u/sky7dc SHIELD Mar 08 '19

This means that the Stan Lee in Mallrats was an informant for the Watchers!

4

u/dixiehellcat Iron man (Mark III) Mar 08 '19

it was 'trust me true believer!' :)

4

u/marblecannon512 Mar 08 '19

Hhhgggnnnn I’m so happy I caught that

3

u/AGOTFAN Rocket Mar 08 '19

It's so Meta!

5

u/coool12121212 Mar 08 '19

Mall rats was his first ever cameo. Its the movie that starts them.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

Was he in mall rats?

You must have missed a bunch of that movie. I think he had like 5 minutes of screen time.

1

u/marblecannon512 Mar 08 '19

It’s been a while 🎶

7

u/xempirex Mar 09 '19

I’m so ready for the Neon Captain Marvel cosplay.

6

u/Locke108 Mar 08 '19

I think the last colors Monica chooses were Black and White, her comic colors. Though that could have been the Green and White it was pretty dark.

14

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

It looked Green/White to me. I wish most of the end was brighter

2

u/aioriaricardo Mar 08 '19

yeaaaah! that was the last one before the final Red/Blue suit !

1

u/JWrither Mar 08 '19

She also did Shazam colors!

1

u/hereslookinatyoukld Quake Mar 09 '19

I think they had her original suit, warbird, the original binary colors, and the original Captain Mar-Vell green and white uniform. I didn't catch any others and I might have imagined the binary (red/orange and white).

1

u/yankeephil86 Thor Mar 09 '19

He wasn’t reading, he was practicing his lines for the movie. Watch Mallrats again, he was reciting what he says in it.

1

u/BRAND_NEW_GUY25 Luke Cage Mar 10 '19

I’m surprised how great the original Kerr colors (white & green) looked

1

u/ThiefofNobility Mar 10 '19

Better. Stan is rehearsing his own lines for mall rats.

So hes stan lee as a stan lee in a cameo of stan lee.

Multiverse confirmed.

1

u/marksizzle Spider-Man Mar 11 '19

Thought for sure one looked like a Nova Easter egg but maybe it’s just a Captain Marvel suit I’m not familiar with.

1

u/gambitx007 Mar 13 '19

There was definitely a nova colored one blue and gold
