The toy line up looks promising! Hope it does well. And hope they still have one more toy surprise set aside for the home media release.

When she's handled by the right writers, she's got some amazing stories. When given to the wrong writers though, she's also got some of the most cringe stories too because of those bad writers doing some really weird crap(Avengers issue 200). A lot of those name shifts and power change ups were because of better writers cleaning up bad writer messes, and other rights issues of the time too and trying to avoid brand confusion with a DC property.

But even the rebranding took a bit to click before it finally stuck, a lot of initial pushback before it finally settled and was accepted. A lot of that drew off of some of her best stories and aspects of her past good stories though too. Which is what we see a lot of emphasis on here in the movie, which is why it's also generating so much excitement. The film directly references a lot of her recent critically acclaimed stories that had some massive general audience pulls.
