My hype for Captain Marvel has turned to Dread...

Whelp the title speaks for itself ladies and gents. Upon seeing the San Diego Comic-Con announcement that Brie Larson was going to be Captain Marvel, I was hyped that they finally started working on that film. BUT as of this past weekend my hype has turned to a sense of dread. What happened was I came across an article on ScreenRant.com(Link here: ) that stated that Carol's origins will be changed slightly to avoid similarities to green Lantern. Now to save you all the trouble, here's the gist of their origin stories: Green Lantern Hal Jordan:"A fighter pilot who was sought out by intergalactic power ring, which lead him to its bearer. This bearer an alien granted Hal Jordan his abilities as a Green Latern, which is esstentially an intergalactic police force." Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel:Carol was an airforce officer who became the girlfriend of her predecessor the Kree, Mar-Vell as he was posing as a double agent for the Kree race to invade Earth. During a conflict involving a kree device, carol's caught in an explosion that while injuring her bonds her DNA with Mar-vell's which is how she acquires her powers of flight, super speed, energy absorption, and manipulation, and super strength. Do I even need to point out the obvious here? Hell the only thing Carol and Hal have in common is that they're in the aiforce, as how they got their powers is vastly different. Not to mention Green Latern's "powers" aren't actually a power, but a device that allows him to manipulate a certain type of energy with his will. In short, his power ring is merely a green ring shaped gun. Whereas Carol's powers are generated from her body thanks to Mar-vell's DNA and the Kree device that bonded it to her. But I've got an even bigger problem, as I think they're over complicating a simple process. Courtesy of Guardians Of The Galaxy and Agents Of Shield, Marvel's team has already introduced the Kree and Inhumans into the Marvel Cinematic universe. In other words the foundation for Carol's cinematic counterpart are already in place. See I imagined the Cinematic Universe being one where Carol's predecessor Mar-Vell doesn't exist as she's introduced as the FIRST Captain Marvel. As a result she'd be one of the inhumans that emerged after theWhelp the title speaks for itself ladies and gents.

As a result she'd be one of the inhumans that emerged after the events involving Daisy's mother and her little "Inhuman paradise," in Agents Of Shield. She would then learn to hone her powers and emerge as "Captain Marvel." That origin would need some ironing out, but still c'mon, worrying about the competition is partially why Warner Bros and DC haven't been doing well with their films after Dark Knight Rises.
