Brie does come off as a bit cold at times, but she’s supposed to be a soldier, so expect her to be stoic to some degree. She still shows some fun personality. I voiced my worries that Larson is too “girl next door” to be believable as Carol Danvers, but she ended up being stronger in the role that I had anticipated. They actually did a good job capturing the spirit of the character.

Only criticism
SPOILER: show

Once Carol powers up the tension goes out the window. The movie never establishes an antagonist that is even remotely capable of going toe to toe with her.
This exactly.

They mary sued her like noone else in this movie.
SPOILER: show
At no time did I ever feel like there was a way that she wouldnt win. The last 20 minutes was basically playing any video game with invincibility on. She destroyed an accuser ship by flying through it. I was hoping she would at least fight Ronan because he has powers, but he turned tail.
