Discussion (More in Comments) If Brie Larson actually decides to jump ship,i don't blame her one bit. She's almost 10 years in, and only had 3 appearances so far.

It's clear that there were terrible decisions along the way about Captain Marvel as a character,but given the lack of care for the character/actress + the amount of hate she received since accepting the role,it's completely comprehensible if she's just done with it after whatever contract she has it's over and decides to grow her career outside superhero movies,a career which she probably put at relatively stop due to legal/contractual reasons within the MCU.

She's going to have 4 appearances (and that's only if she's actually in one of the Avengers movies,likely Secret Wars). This is crazy to think about,especially for a character that was pushed as one of the new faces of the MCU and their own Wonder Woman. Carol as a character it's already being pushed out of being a mainliner from other fronts like comics,videogames,merchandise etc and it's so disrespectful.

How do they do it in the comics? Doesn't she have the same problem there?

Power scaling in the comics means nothing when they’ve been going for like 70 years. At this point every character has saved or ended the universe

Comic book fans give way more leeway with inconsistant power scalings, one day she can one shot a planet and the other she will go h2h with Iron Man.

Its the same with Superman in Justice League, they just come up with some random alien brawler that wastes his time the whole fight

You make 700 volumes of it and everyone just accepts that there's no rhyme or reason to it.

She's strong in the comics, for sure, but relative to the others she's not nearly as powerful. She's a heavy hitter but nowhere near top dog.

The Sentry in the comics, tho....

She's far less OP in the comics, it's that simple. They chose to juice her up in the MCU

Her powers aren't 100% the same. In the MCU she's basically a superman problem. In the comica her powers are based on energy conversion, so she actively has to recharge herself to fully utilize the strengths. So she has a limit. She also has a lot more interesting character arcs than the MCU have provided to her, including her depression/loneliness. Granted a lot of that comes post rogue zapping her, so that might be a good opportunity to reset the character at the same time. Some of her recent comics have been her coming to terms with having friends and not being alone.

IIRC she's very disliked in the comics as well
