It really is shameful how Marvel treated Monica during that time. Just to take away her leadership roll, they made her look incompetant and unsuited. When some time ago she was being praised for her skills. I'm assuming that was the norm for minority characters, which IMO sucks. 
next in Monica's fan club was the one and only She-Hulk!
"She MADE it all HAPPEN"
That was one of the reasons why In 1987, after a dispute with editor Mark Gruenwald over upcoming storylines pertaining to Captain Marvel II and The Avengers, Roger Stern and Marvel comics parted ways. --- Tahdigga
I'm sorry...I didn't mean to imply that Monica (Capt. Marvel) & Jennifer (She-Hulk) resented each other. I only wanted to point out the
funny confrontations between the two at the time I was reading The Avengers. Reading that single issue, that one page really stood out after all these years, even at the time I first read it. So I kept this book for my archives.
I've always felt that the character, Captain Marvel was never really taken seriously since her debut. Then when she is placed into a leadership role, it
really shows. Much like all the Marvel female heroes. However, it's interesting how other characters percieved her. Like Captain America. He
always projected an exemplary attitude towards minority characters, and it shows in each and every encounter, in the pages you displayed.
She-Hulk? Well... there were times I wonder what was up with her attitude!
Star Fox? He probably, if not, definetly would want to take her to bed.
Druid? I don't know much about him as I've never seen him in anything else before.
Thor? He's pretty much as respectful as Captain America but generally keeps to himself.
Ms. Digga, you're the only person I know of (next to Mr. Hudlin) who actually wants to bring this character to the forefront.
When it comes down to editorial, it comes down to politics; the manuevering, the positioning and the decision making... I may not have known what was going on
behind the scenes at these comicbook companies but the tension appeared to show in the comic pages. In my humble opinion, I think the reagan era really really began to dominate the standards for everyone and the standards of the previous decade couldn't match wits with the new regime.
Everyone felt it. I know I did, which is why I (like many) began to lose interest in reading those comics.
---plus, the price point kept going up every two years and I disliked that, too!
