Matching 50 MCU characters with each of the 50 states

18. Skrulls – Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma got their fight song “Boomer Sooner” from the state’s history. People jumped the gun on grabbing land before the Land Run started at noon. Those people became known as Sooners. The song Boomer Sooner is still the fight song played today at the University of Oklahoma during football games (they love their college football). You can even hear Skip Bayless say Boomer Sooner repeatedly on TV.
With people being in such a rush to get to Oklahoma, I thought the Skrulls would be a perfect pick to pair with the state.
In Captain Marvel we find out that the Skrulls were doing anything they could to find a home. Sometimes it meant infiltrating groups and doing things that may be illegal. Most of people rushing to get land were probably just looking to live their lives, just like the Skrulls.
Unfortunately, it didn’t always work out. Some of the Skrulls died trying to find a new life on different planets and there were probably some unlucky people who were caught and denied land.In those days, it wouldn’t be shocking if people died moving to Oklahoma as well. It may have gone better if the Sooners could shape shift. Or maybe they could!
