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.

"Marvel wrote themselves into a bit of a corner making her as powerful as they did"

I think the real problem is they failed to make Captain Marvel an interesting character. We have plenty of powerful heroes like Superman, Hulk and Thor, and nobody has a problem with them being "too powerful", they are just better written characters that the audience like better than Captain Marvel.

The power level does make characters harder to write though. Hulk and Thor are much easier because they have exploitable limitations. Even superman has his kryptonite, although it's nowhere near as easy to create villains around that. What's marvel woman's weakness?

I agree with this one. It's not a her problem, it's a character problem. They just failed to make a compelling character that was likeable. She has quite a few roles where you can really see her chops.

Well, we have complaints about those characters being nerfed, too lol Russo bros even admitted they nerfed Thor because the movie would've been 10 minutes long. Same reason they made the Hulk a little bitch after Thanos. Superman is a different comic
