"Us" as subject?
Hi, I would like to ask you guys whether this sentence is correct:
Us Marvel fans will gladly follow Captain Marvel’s lead to a more expansive and gender-infused universe.
I think it's incorrect to use "us" as the subject, but the writer (of the sentence) insists that it is correct. I am really confused. Please tell me whether this is correct or not, thanks
