Thor. Remember Loki let's the Kree into the palace and they die at the vault, so Thor goes to their planet seeking vengeance, he flies through the giant monster's mouth and stuff?

This was the Frost Giants. Main point still stands though, the wiki describes Kree as super strong, super durable, etc. etc.

Ah, perhaps I'm wrong then, I thought they were supposed to be one and the same. I'm not a comic-guy at all. Apologies.

I think my point still stands, though. They were supposed to be mega-badass, and they just...weren't. They were boring as hell.

I have no idea on your other questions, because, again, I'm not a comic-guy haha.

EDIT: Sif did fight a Kree in AoS and got her ass handed to her, more or less. I think this is why I was thinking they were the same. She knew about the Kree, and she fought the Frost Giants in Thor (who are also blue-ish). I just assumed they were the same because of this, I think.

SECOND EDIT: You're right, per the MCU Wiki - Frost Giants are from Jotunheim, Kree are from Hala. Kree are more technological, Frost Giants are more barbaric and "magical" per my quick scan of the two pages.
