Horrible, utterly disappointing storytelling

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2019)

Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel has absolutely no character development/arc. She is the exact same person at the end of the movie that she was at the beginning, despite condemning flaws being introduced in her character (not being to control her own emotions, overusing her powers, being overly impulsive, etc). This is a textbook example of bad writing! Not to mention the glaring plot hole in the story. The Tesseract was found by Howard Stark at the bottom of the ocean, and that is how SHIELD came to possess it. This has been known since the first Captain America, and it's disgustingly unimaginative of the writers to just reuse an already resolved plot. Even if imagination was the issue, they could have just gone with the original backstory of Carol Danvers from the comic books, in which Carol Danvers is granted the ablilities that Mar-Vell Himself had. I suppose doing that though would have made the true fan base happy, which is clearly not what the writers were wanting.
