Captain Marvel: Why the name of the cat was changed from Chewie to Goose

People love cats. I like cats. Everyone loves cats. You do not like cats? Ok, well you are just a terrible human being. But it's easy to understand why so many people fear that Carol Danvers's cat will get its own poster for the next Captain Marvel movie . It's hilarious, adorable and perfect for the internet age. However, as comic book fans know, this is not an invented character for the movie.

Indeed, Captain Marvel's cat also plays a role in comics … although I will not go into the details of why or what behind this. But a difference between the cat in the comics and the cat in the movie is the name. The movie cat was widely advertised as Goose, which is quite different from Chewie, what Carol calls cats in comics. So why change? Collider had the chance to speak with director Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden. Here is what Fleck had to say:

"It was not so bad. It just seemed like Star Wars was so much part of the culture that we just wanted to take it off a bit, you know, the nostalgia of Star Wars movies of which we are so numerous. You know, when we were kids, Star Wars felt like it was something from the '70s and' 80s, and I think it was the spirit of Chewie comics, but we had the feeling that we just wanted to move slightly away from that.

Boden added:

" Yeah, and just the idea of ​​having a reference that would have been so specific Carol Danvers' past, like his past, in the film himself being a pilot in the 1980s, when Top Gun was out and with a reference that seemed a little more specific, while Chewie, at the time of the 39, writing comics, was a very accurate reference in time, but now with all In the movies, one feels more contemporary and not so specific to his past. "

Agreement, yes after hearing what Boden said, it makes sense, and it is in this spirit that giving Carol the name of cat, Chewie, would almost seem dishonest given the information they have on this film.But what do you think, the purists of the cartoon strip born? Do you agree with the change?
