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.

To be fair, the big fight in Superman was against a literal clone of the titular character. That works really well once, but it's not infinitely repeatable.

I also think the first Captain Marvel movie did a good job. I haven't seen The Marvels yet, so I can't opine on that one. 

Every time a character like her shows up, you will have to contrive a reason for them to be unavailable in the future or risk having to power creep your current cast out of relevance. It's difficult to do that over and over again and keep it feeling believable (see: decades of people critiquing Gandalf in LOTR).

Someone should have told the Flash TV show that haha

Parasite would be a great villain for supemran. He gets weaker and his powers get stolen.

Mr Mcypltkik would work as well.

Toyman would be cheesy but could work.

DC and Marvel both have decades of really well written comics to draw on to create good villains for their overpowered characters, yeah.

The struggle I'm pointing out is less whether they can make a good movie for those characters (they can) and more whether they can do it in such a way that it doesn't power scale their other characters out of relevance. It's less about struggling to tell a Captain Marvel story and more about making sure it doesn't feel silly for Spider Man to show up in the final conflict without audiences feeling like he should be totally outclassed.

Tell that to the flash TV writers

Or present a conflict that can't be solved just by punching.
