I think something I’d definitely love to see is her showing more vulnerability. Like all is lost type scene and coming back from it stronger. Basically like Thor had in his your not the God of Hammers moment. A scene where we could end up rooting for her.
Dive into some of her character as well and actually see some of her upbringing cause her movie showed glimpses of her as a kid or young adult but nothing really came out of it.
I want to see her treated as a powerhouse against something other than fodder as well. Like a Thor vs Hela, Hulk, or Kurse type fight Whether it be in the cosmos or on Earth. I want her to expand outside of just using energy blast, flight and her physicals as well.
My first review of Kelly’s Captain Marvel 26. It’s rather short, but I’m still learning.

I’m honestly also hoping they don’t just ignore the whole fact Carol set off to go find the Kree a new home world or that she’s been in space for practically 20+ years. Or she said she was coming back to oppose the Kree. I want to see what the Kree’s intention with having her under their control was and how Carol has been a pain in their ass for this long. Maybe if it wasn’t for her involvement they would have expanded their empire either further, and I want to see that if that’s the case.
Wally got all the gallery rogues from Barry, so it wasn't build on ground zero.
Aquaman was on the big 7 for JL for decades, so Johns work was good but I wouldn't say it is that special. He just did basic stuff, he didn't stayed really long. It's not groundbreaking for people that knows the character
Aquaman also isnt comparaable to Carol
Don't most heroes based on previous ones not have independent rogues?
As for the movie...I did not hate it...but it could have been better. There was no real growth for Carol as a character. She goes through all she goes thru finding out the Kree manipulated and used her and is like "whatever, loser". Wonder Woman had amazing growth for Diana and I was hoping to see something like that for Carol.
As for the sexualization with her costumes in the past...I have been saying for a long time the women need to wear more...especially the ones without enhanced physical abilities. Why would Psylocke or Mockingbird be running around fighting bad guys without protection? I even seem to recall a scene where Psylocke slid on metal plates with her bare legs...I guarantee that is not going to feel good at all.
While I do think the negativity has gotten way out of hand, there is much more to than her being a powerful female superhero. She was actually more powerful as Binary-- and no one complained. I think there was a definite lean in to political correctness -- and making her have less sex appeal -- as a means of attracting more female readers. Yes, her Ms. Marvel costume is date, but aside from that -- it was a very iconic design. So the new outfit which seemed very super hero generic (I mean look at the characters who dress in blue and red -- Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, etc.). Then in her second CM series, they really gave the character a make over. After years of seeing her drawn one way -- a lot changed. And the book didn't catch on -- yet Marvel kept pushing -- and nothing much worked until, I think, 'Life of Captain Marvel' and her current series.
I had problems with the film, because Marvel went to a great lengths to cut off any male influence on her --- whereas in the comics -- Mar-Vell had everything to do with her becoming super-powered. They even recast the role with a woman. It just seemed like an agenda to say -- hey, this is our Wonder Woman -- she don't need any stinkin' men!
It's not any one of thing -- it's all of that.
I honestly don't see any agenda, considering Fury and Talos basically helped her out the whole time.
I had problems with the film, but the whole feminist angle was way overblown. I actually thought it wasn't really feminist enough
That said, I didn't see why they needed to kill off Mar-Vell
And none of that guarantees any hate she receives. Punisher and cable get canceled every years and later they receive another series. SAme for constantine.
I'm glad that marvel gave her like 3 chances or more. Specially when civil war 2 derailed her solo
Talos was a bad ass with swag, Fury was a bit out of his depth but he helped. Some friend aw the movie and thought it was a feminist propaganda psyops
Alitha battle angel had every man be a complete idiot, while the female hero was the badass. So it was ironic that it was choosen to be against captain marvel
