The Captain Marvel sequel should have had just one Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers. Carol Danvers' memory was taken from her. A subplot should be Carol Danvers trying to remember her past. Maria could tell her that she had a boyfriend. Carol would then meet him, and the romance is rekindled. Interpersonal relationships should be a part of MCU movies especially romantic love, the most pleasurable emotion humans can feel. Fighting should revolve around these interpersonal relationship. The MCU has lost sight of this. That is the reason they are not doing as well as previously. It began with Spiderman: No Way Home. The movie did very well giving the MCU the illusion it was on the right path. Note three Spider-Mans and three Marvels but Spider-Man: No Way Home might have done well because people wanted to see Tom Holland and Zendaya. However, the MCU foolishly broke up Peter and MJ despite them being part of the comic book. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Dr. Strange should have made the world forget Peter was Spider-Man not the existence of Peter Parker. The romance between Peter and MJ would have continued in following movies. A following movie could touch on MJ's background. The MCU should want the audience to feel the pleasure of romantic love through Peter and MJ.

Well-said. Any test audience could have told Kevin Feige they're not identifying with Captain Marvel, that Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck and Geneva Robertson-Dworet are terrible writers and don't understand story-telling, or this particular story, or teenagers, or - well - much of anything.

There are so many things they could have done instead of this mess. And it's budget, clearly they are paying themselves off with Corporate funds. It's criminal.

They're gonna milk that actor's strike for all they can, and when that dries up, there's always the old chestnut of racist, sexist, toxic masculinity to fall back on. Anything, just so long as they don't have to take a long hard look in the mirror.

The MCU can't blame the SAG strike because they could have delayed release of the movie. They might have thought that with other movies such as Dune part 2 being delayed there would be no competition. Sexism won't work because Captain Marvel did very well.

Hasn’t the MCU been dead for a while now? Or at least actively dying?

Maybe that’s just what I’ve been wanting.

Good. Bout time we moved on to the next big thing. And who thought Captain Marvel would be a big draw anyway? It's not a very popular comic book is it? Certainly nothing like Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, etc. Add to it Brie Larson's nonsensical woke crap and I'm surprised this ever got made.

Captain Marvel did very well at the box office.

Yeah it made a billion. I think though since then, it was like 2018, awhile ago, people retrospectively decided they didn't like it because of Brie Larson being annoying. Disney saw that, maybe had polls or something showing it, hard to not notice it, so they put two other characters in it, a black woman and a muslim woman, thinking that'd help get black and muslim people to the movie. That didn't work. One thing I noticed, the first Captain Marvel had Jude Law in it, kind of a famous white guy that women think is hot. This new Marvels movie didn't have any white men in it except for one henchman for the bad guy who has a manbun. And not played by a well known actor. I think that's part of why women didn't come out to the movie. They like to see hot guys. And the audience was mostly white men, like most superhero movies, but not in a huge amount because they didn't see anyone that represents them in it.

Captain Marvel's story line was good. A woman who thought she was fighting an enemy, the Skrulls which turned out to be the victims whereas her friends were the real enemy. Also, she was struggling to recall her past. The Captain Marvel sequel should have had Carol Danvers continue to find her past.

Yeah that might have done better. And also tie the movie into another upcoming big avengers movie, that helped the first Captain Marvel.
