I hope the sequel gets a female writer and director.

In terms of it feeling dated, I think the issue there was that it felt like a Phase 1 "origin movie" when the MCU was long past that. That said, I think it measures up well enough in comparison to those origin movies... just placed weirdly in the overall series because we didn't "know" her and the MCU was so established. It felt MUCH more organic with Spider-man and Black Panther being given a soft introduction in Civil War before their first solo. I think giving Capt. Marvel a larger intro in Infinity War/Endgame before her solo backstory might have been a better choice.
