"No, I think it has to do with Monica not having quite lived up to the Captain Marvel name the way it was hoped she might, and it being given to somebody else." That's comeplete bullshit, because Monica lead the Avengers team and was a part of some pretty big events. Marvel failed to support her and turned her into a joke with Nextwave. Carol has been getting a MASSIVE push that many characters never get. Guess it's easier for white women to get shots then any other minority group.

I think you’ll find over Marvel’s history that Marvel tends to support what works. Marvel supported Monica as Captain Marvel for more than a decade, at the end of which time she wasn’t especially prominent or popular as a character. Then, somebody tried something different with the name. NextWave didn’t come along until another 15 years after that (and probably did more to restore her popularity than any other project) so I don’t think you can really connect those dots in that manner.
