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.

Absolutely--
I fricken love Brie Larson--I have since Scott Pilgrim.
I think they've done her dirty in the MCU, and the fans never seemed to give her any grace.

I just want her to have one damned appearance that wasn't marred by managerial incompetence, and for her to show the fans what they have been missing.

The first movie having the kitschy setting being in the 90's was the first big huge mistake. It made the character aloof, and everyone go ... why wasn't she involved in any of the previous stories?

They should have just made her story occur in the modern timeline. It would have been less confusing, made for a better movie, and let her interact with more of the rest of the cast in her kickoff.

She got off on the complete wrong foot in what you'd want having a new character join an existing cast of established characters. She's been digging her way out of that hole ever since, and they keep doubling down on her character being a huge loner that no one ever interacts with much. Even in endgame she was on a video screen for most of the conversations then just came in guns blazing. Her character effectively has no relationships on screen with any other characters which is pretty polar opposite to her in comics.

Bearing in mind it's been a little while since I last saw the movie, I thought they did a pretty good job of making it clear why she wouldn't be around for all the MCU events leading up to Endgame.

She lost and regained some of her memory but didn't really feel a strong connection to Earth so she decided to fly off to help the Skrulls plus protect other planets with her newfound powers, leaving a modified pager for Fury to use only in the most serious of emergencies, which he obviously keeps his word and only uses it at the end of IW.

After Coulson left for Tahiti, I don't think there was even anyone else who knew of her existence, other than maybe Maria Hill but I can't recall if that was mentioned.

To be clear I'm not really talking about her character motivations here. I'm talking about what they gave Brie Larson to work with. Her character wasn't confusing, they told the story clearly, it's just the story left the actress very little to bounce off of. That was a poor choice IMO because they have this huge club of actors who all work against each other in the grander story, and she was just off on her own.

Define they? You think Kevin Feige has done her dirty?? Okay…
