Has keeping track of everything happening there… and then realizing we’re talking about the comics universe, not the cinematic ones… and the different universes with their own multiversal crisesses has gotten a little bit out of hand, don’t worry. Up Your Nerd Cred is here to talk about gods cosplaying as men, men cosplaying as gods, and how much the cinematic universes are leaving out.

The Marvelous Ms Marvels | UYNC Ep 21

Carol Danvers may be the Captain Marvel you know from the MCU — but she’s far from the only one to claim that name. This week, CiCi and AM Diaz explore the women who redefined what “Marvel” means: Carol Danvers, the Air Force pilot turned cosmic powerhouse, and Monica Rambeau, the light-speed leader who once captained the Avengers before most of the guys even made the roster.

From feminist icons to cosmic soldiers, from Kree DNA to the power of pure light, we’re unpacking how both women earned (and sometimes fought for) the same title — and how their legacies still shape the Marvel Universe today. Expect laughter, lore, “wait, WHAT?!” moments, and a healthy dose of chaos energy.

✨ This is Part 1 of our two-part deep dive!
