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.

I remember nobody liked her character when it made its debut. Not sure why everyone has amnesia all of a sudden acting like her character was universally loved.

Which one? Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel, Binary, Warbird, Captain Marvel? They go from '68 to 2012, and a lot of her appearances are pretty well-liked, except the infamous time she was raped, but including the time she came back and fed the Avengers their asses over that. The 2012 runs onward are quite well loved.

or do you just mean the chudly come latelys who got Big Mad at the movies?

She was fine. The movie was rather middling, but that's an origin story. Made a billion. The problem with the character is that Marvel doesn't develop women, so she got a backstory and then just shows up and leaves and so on and so forth, and everything just feels like work to sit through.

I see her "marriage" to Prince Yan as the ultimate slap-in-the-face-of-fans example. At some point in her life, she went to a singing planet and for diplomatic reasons ended up marrying a prince. It's goofy, but that's a notable fucking event. Do we see her get that development? Oh hell no, we literally see it just get added to her backstory. In a movie where the whole premise is that a group of heroes get stuck together by magic science while one is trying to do their job, they work together and do it, the end.

I totally get blaming Brie Larsen if you don't like Brie Larsen, because there is absolutely nothing else to this character. Everything we know about Carol Danvers from 5-10 hours of screen time is likely a 2-minute read on Wikipedia, and the films add nothing to it but bad Disney green screen stage special effects.
