I thought Captain Marvel was fine, one of the weaker MCU offerings mainly because it felt like a wannabe feminist film that was written by a man who didn't understand what feminism is.

Carole has no flaws and the only 'flaws' they give her in the script are said by characters telling her she's too emotional when she seems to be under control at all times.

I always compare Captain Marvel to Wonder Woman because that film had a way better understanding of feminism in a way that neither belittled the movement or the audience of the film. Diana is flawed but strong and she has to deal with sexism and attitudes that undermine her and she does so by simply excelling and proving the men who doubted her wrong, teaching them a lesson and extending a hand of friendship at the same time. Captain Marvel presents feminism as an 'us and them' situation but Wonder Woman's approach works better because it's emphatic and it makes a point of saying that neither gender can excel at the cost of the other as neither Wonder Woman or Steve can save the day alone.

Wonder Woman's just an excellent film tbh.
