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.

“I was just visiting the Avengers set last summer, which was really fun, catching up with the producers, seeing the Russos, and some of my friends were in the movie. So it was really nice, despite how everything went with the box office and the reviews, knowing that the relationships are so good. I look back and everyone tried their best and everyone was trying to do the right thing, and it is what it is.”

I really liked The Marvels but understand some of the issues others had with it.

I like the actors, I like the characters, and the interplay between the three superheros was great. Not to mention the absurd joy of saving a whole bunch of humans by way of non-euclidian space cars.

But the marvels didn't have a villain worth punching, and felt like it implied a Captain Marvel 2 or "fall of the kree" Disney+ series that never happened.

(Seriously, though, if you skipped this one and heard it sucked, you heard wrong. It was probably the best marvel movie since Endgame, aside from maybe FF or that Spider-Man where DrStange channels the idiot ball.)

Glad to know she's not being scapegoated; almost felt like she was being thrown under the bus after the catastrophic release.
