Captain Marvel Theory: Who Is The Supreme Intelligence?


Captain Marvel has been out in cinema for a while now and despite some negative review I myself loved it. It did take a while to pick up but that gave it it's plot and I loved it the whole way through. I watched it opening date which was weeks ago so I am going to share one of my theories on the film. What is the Supreme Intelligence??!!

SPOILER WARNING FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL AND END GAME!! WATCH THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T!!

In the capital of the Kree Empire (Hala) we see many of the Kree going to this temple-like place. Carol Danvers goes there with her master Yon-Rogg he says that no-one has seen the Supreme Intelligence as it takes on the form of what the viewer wants to see. The Supreme Intelligence is shown as a form of wisdom and escapism in the film as Carol turns to the Intelligence in the form of Mar-vel for advice. At this point she does not completely know who Mar-vel is but has seen her in dreams. This suggests that the Kree viewer does not pic what they want to see, it just morphs into what their heart wants, even if they don't know it. So from this we have gathered that the Intelligence is an all knowing thing that has the power to be able to take many forms according to who is wanting the advice. It has been suggested that the Intelligence is just a computer simulation but I believe it is something greater. What is all knowing but needs a 3 dimensional simulation to interact with the Kree? What is doomed to never change the course of events in real life but can only watch it? I am of course talking about The Watcher!

The Watchers are a race of all knowing characters in Marvel comics that can talk to others but not change courses of events through physical interaction no mater how much they want to. This would mean they would need a Kree simulation to virtually interact and give advice/wisdom as they can see how things would result. But why would The Watcher want to help the Kree? Maybe this tech was meant for greater things but the Kree adopted it for themselves. Or maybe it was because The Watcher knew Carol's future and wanted to motivate her powers (as shown in the film) for the greater good. As they can see alternate realities maybe that was the only way in that dimension that something great would happen later in the MCU. So, with The Watcher knowing what Thanos would do in the future and that Captain Marvel would need to be involved to defeat him, perhaps that's why they pushed her into discovering the full potential of her powers without violating the rules. Also we know The Watcher is in the MCU as three of them have a cameo in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2.

What do you think? Agree or disagree I want to hear your thoughts! Do you think that Marvel will include The Watcher in future MCU phase 4 films such as Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.3? Or will the Supreme Intelligence remain a mysterious source of Kree wisdom? Anyway, enjoy marvel while it lasts and let's take a moment to remember Tony Stank!

Sorry for the delay, this blog was supposed to be posted before Endgame but I haven't had the time to go through it again. I've got my tickets for the exciting Spider-man: Far From Home (unfortunately I can't make opening date). Keep on reading my blogs and see you again with my next!

Could a light-saber cut Wolverines Adamantium claws?



Star Wars and Marvel crossovers have been debated and dreamed of for decades; from a Han vs Deadpool shootout to a Gungian against Skrull war - all fan boys and girls have thought up every combination. One that really caught my eye was the question 'Could a lightsaber cut through Wolverine's adamantium claws?' In this blog I will give my one of many answers to this question, with science, Marvel and Star Wars logic!

As you may know, adamantium is debatable as the strongest metal in the marvel universe, in front of vibranium and enchanted uru. It makes Logan's exoskeleton and Ultron's armour. It can easily cut through bones and other metals (even vibranium), however, every metal, even if fictional, has a melting point. Adamantium is created by a mixture of certain chemical resins, if the chemicals are mixed and kept at  1,500 degrees, the liquid formed is moulded into Wolverines exoskeleton. This indicates that the melting point of adamantium is 1,500 degrees. So in theory, a super-villain could heat Wolverine to this temperature, and although Logan can self-heal tissue, he cannot repair his broken mecca-bones, therefore destroying it. The question is, however, could this be done with a lightsaber.

A lightsaber is the elegant weapon of the Jedi and the Sith, structured from a kyber crystal contained and harnessed in a handle (of the force-users choice) to be used as a weapon. It comes in different colours depending on the force-users amount of hate, peace or balance that they transfer into the crystal when applying it to the saber. It has the reputation of being able to cut through almost anything. A scene with Qui Gon Jin cutting through a steel door, means it has its heat calculated. To burn through steel the temperature needs to be 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit therefore the lightsaber must function at at least this for that to have been possible. Therefore its heat it hot enough to melt adamantium but, is it enough to slice it in one clash or would it have to be held on the blade for longer? This can only be experimented by determining the approximate temperature of the plasma. If only one day it would be possible to conduct this experiment in this universe!

Thank you for reading, I hope you found it interesting! I think this is an interesting Star Wars and Marvel crossover  - hope you do too. Comment if you have anything to add to this blog or a future topic to write about! But for now, enjoy marvel whilst it lasts!!

In loving memory of Stan (the man) Lee. Even real-life superheroes die. 😢😢
