The main issue isn't their character. The main issue is their films and shows are badly written.
But you want to know about issues with their characters.
The biggest problem is they don't have any kind of improvement arc. Look at some of the popular male characters. Tony Stark, Thor, Dr Strange. They all have to overcome flaws in themselves before they can overcome their external threats. Captain Marvel goes to great lengths to show us the opposite. That she's always been a badass girlboss ever since she was young and only once something was done TO her (getting powers from the infinity stone) can she win. They don't grow or change as characters.
Originally posted by jaden_2.0I don't disagree with any of that the MCU is awful. However in the comics, Carol Danvers was a Captain before she got her powers too, the difference being in the 70's she was a sort of female second tier version of Captain Marvel as Ms. Marvel.

All the girls are better than the men. Shuri is the smartest, female Loki is a better Loki, Carol is the most powerful hero, Hela is too strong for Thor and Wanda owns everyone. Carol and Wanda making Thanos a joke was bullshit when the rest of the universe was shitting their pants about him.
It's straight up pandering from Disney plain and simple. The fact that the Marvel's is looking to flop is music to my ears.

Batman isn't a superhero also with that sort of thinking tooas for the topic, I'm not one of those people that get pissy when they see a female character.
Batman was rich and had tech nobody on earth had. He might have not been a super hero but he had the elements that made him more than your average yogi bear
What chipotle are you smoking. Are you saying females can not be empowered, without subjectifying their gender? To be fare, MCU empowered female superheroes solely by their appearance alone. Look at their costumes vs females superheros from DC. MCU has females covered from head to toe, while DC, still has women in tight provocative outfits.
the characters are fine, the way they are trying to deliver an overstated message about equality or whatever the **** is too heavy handed and out of place.. if you can tell a story with a real world message in it and do it seamlessly and to enrich the story then im all for it but the choppy, lazy way in which they have attempted to show that the upcoming female counterparts are somehow easily better than the males they are replacing is such a dumb way to introduce these females and it will work against their popularity in the long run
