My issue with The Marvels was the runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes. According to the director that was her choice , but she didn't budget that time well and we got a lot of rushed scenes and almost zero character development from the villain.

The film needed another 20-30 minutes to give the villain a story, both the villain villain and why Carol is viewed as a villain. Especially with the time jump, Captain Marvel ends with her ready for revenge, all we ever hear about is how great she is and how she's out saving other planets, then in this film she's already gotten her revenge but is seen as "The Destroyer" to the Kree.

I would have loved a cold open of a planet being destroyed. Characters trying to call for help. Have us follow our future villain around as she tries to make sense of it all. Basically the scene from the opening of Batman v Superman with Bruce Wayne on the ground level.
