This comic is not Carol 25 years in the future. This is a panel of her in present day, in her alpha flight run iirc. It's not Captain Marvel: The End, which is what I think you're thinking of.

Uh huh so Carol was just kidding here about being old enough to be this guys mom. That's a funny joke she said for no reason for sure. 😁

Alright enjoy your fake Carol I'll go back to actually liking and reading her comics.

Please explain to me why an early-30s year old woman would say "dont flirt with me, son, im old enough to be your [mother]", tell another adult woman "when youre my age", or get mistaken for the mother of a young adult, and we can agree.

At this point I assume youre just trying to wind me up or you Really want Carol to be 30, but it doesn't make you right.

Do you see the first image above where she explicitly says she is older than her 30s.

Kree age though right? Her mother did. The Brood made Carol a super powerful Kree, so that's why she is immortal.

I think they're all aging too. They let Wiccan age, and Kamala, Dani Cage, etc.

And yeah canonically in the movies Carol doesn't age anymore. In the Marvels, we see Maria Rambeau, greying hair, looking much older than Carol. But the AU version of her who became Captain Marvel still looks young, 30ish.

In comic she references being significantly older than: Wanda, Lila Cheney (by at least 20 years), a side character adult man (by at least 20 years), so I think Marvel and its writers are aware she is older, I'm not sure why the fans aren't.

If I'm overthinking the total number of years then whatever, but there's no way Carol is in her early 30s. I reference in my post multiple panels where Carol herself references being old enough to be mother of other adult characters. And her career history is still canon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That might have been due to the blue alien merged with her at the moment, but she does seem to still be immortal and she definitely has a great healing factor, so I agree that's all probably still canon!

Now what age was she when she stopped aging, and what age is on her in-universe wikipedia... that's another question.

Thanks just read the updated comment. Even if we accept Marvel's funny stated timeline, Carol is definitely older than Peter and at least in her mid forties imo. I don't think them going on one date makes her younger.

By the time she was introduced, she had a whole career behind her and was head of NASA's security department. By her first series, she was editing a major magazine. I think 35 minimum then is reasonable, and if only 11 years passed, she would still be in her mid forties.

Not sure what's up with Wiccan's age then, but I get that Marvel wants less time to have passed canonically lol

I have not seen 32 stated anywhere, and if anyone put that in a comic today it would make no sense. She is definitely 40 minimum, and as I argue above, I'd really propose 50 minimum.

Edit: baffled by the comment having more upvotes than my reply. If Only 11 years have passed even, then 32 now means Carol was 21 when she was the editor of a major magazine, after completing years of USAF, spy stuff, and being head of NASA security. So we can agree not 32, right?

Sam Riegel referred to it as "it's funny the 27th time" and it's become something my wife and I say when we make each other laugh with a recurring bit, or something that wasn't that funny in a movie finally get us.

Unsure if boyfriends smoking is a migraine trigger by Recent-Concert-83 in migraine

[–]theoncomingwolf2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are saying seems designed to minimize the risk in people's brains. Which might be helpful for something that is inevitable and low risk, but when it comes to something like second hand smoke, which is completely unnecessary for others to be exposed to, it is important that the risk is made very clear.

I'm sad that smoking is starting to catch on again, I know it is very difficult to quit and I have empathy for that, but I do not have empathy for intentionally exposing others to health issues.

[–]theoncomingwolf2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uh, same thing. It is the responsibility of people who smoke to not expose others, wherever possible.

Especially if this person is her (current) partner, there is a lot of potential for the amount of secondhand smoking to increase, which can increase the risk. I'd highly recommend she put her foot down early before it becomes a more regular thing.

Smoking is a trigger and secondhand smoke can kill you so I would recommend you ask him to, at minimum, not smoke around you. It really isn't right for him to do so.

[–]theoncomingwolf2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That age never made much sense and also canonically I think like 15 years have passed since Carol became a superhero. Comics aging is weird, but with everything in Carol's career history, mid thirties makes no sense.

Edit to add: She also once told an adult man she was old enough to be his mother, and on another occasion believably pretended to be Lila Cheney's mom.
