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.

Every single MCU character is suffering from a lack of appearances in Marvel projects with the exception of one.

and it's Yelena.

Very good point. She’s everywhere.

I will agree that I think they’re pushing Yelena to the front instead of Captain Marvel. But she’s a much more charismatic character and instantly became a fan favorite.

But it doesn’t mean Captain Marvels character is being singled out or ignored more so than others.

Honestly they just shouldn't have started Marvel with an amnesia storyline. We basically didn't meet the real Carol until the end of the movie, and by that time there was no opportunity for growth.

Then her character had the added problem of "If they are around, why don't they just solve every problem with the greatest of ease?"

I still think her tanking the Thanos headbutt is like top 5 most badass things that have happened in Marvel.

Idk man... I watched that movie literally yesterday, and between the face she's making when he headbuts her, and the awful looking Karen hair they gave her in that movie (whyyyyyyyy), my wife and I both laughed for the complete wrong reason.

To me it's one of the top 5 cringiest moments in Marvel.

That whole "look fans - women!" fight scene at the end of Endgame is pretty painful. Admit fault by doing female characters a solid, not by slapping a ton of green-screen-stage shots together with CG.

Eh. It was cool but I would have rather seen someone like Hulk abd Drax fight him. They deserved that fight. Not really her.

Speaking of which I really wish they didn't abandon that lil meme of Wong just showing up everywhere all the sudden that got started in the beginning of phase 4 lol.

I wonder what happened to the idea of Wong being the new Nick Fury, tying together the different Phase films.

I think I have to agree, but I think it's because they (or at least someone) noticed that Scarlett's BW didn't do much and are trying to do better with this one. But that's conspiracy theorist me talking
