I hate to say it, but I disagree with nearly every point you made. Brave new world is a terrific movie! Sure, it relies on some familiar plot lines, but the major thrust of the film is not about global politics; it's about having a monster in the Whitehouse.

And, since >>>We have a monster in the Whitehouse in real life<<<, this film helps to foster hope that our real-life president, far more villianous than anything on screen, will ultimately be defeated and FINALLY face punishment for his untold crimes!

I absolutely LOVED The Marvels! Easily my favorite MCU film, bar none! But, it's no secret why it was so underappreciated - constant reshoots, meaning constant delays (Over a YEAR past it's original reported release date!) It's hard to keep the hype for ANYything buzzing that long...

Add to that, the whole "girl power" aspect, which will never sit well with a certain demographic - which just happens to be the primary demo that buys theater tix.

Also, we all know how the Interweb LOVES TO HATE the scourge of the month, and one it's favorite sacrificial lambs will always be the strong, vocal opinionated woman. Who does that sound like? (Incidently, those traits are precisely what I LOVE about Ms. Larson!)

1. The "Scarlet Witch" is a villlian, not a hero, even if she is "stronger" (in the sense that she has more "super power") than Carol Danvers, so Captain Marvel is still the strongest Super HERO, and easily the strongest Avenger.

2. The only other character who comes close to Carol's raw physical strength is the Hulk, but he was thrash by Thanos, while Captain Marvel stood her own against him. Also, she has photon blasts so she could attack him from a distance, while Hulk has no such abilities - he is strictly close-combat. (Alternatively, on a good day, Thor might give a challenge, but take away his hammer, and he's useless.)

3. Kevin Fiege has specifically named hwr as the strongest Avenger, and why wouldn't he ? - her character is literally the flagship of the entire MARVEL franchise! (Marvel / Captain MARVEL - see there?)

I don't care what they do with Captain Marvel, as long as Brie Larson continues to play her in the MCU, because without Brie, there's no reason to watch Marvel at all. As far as I'm concerned, there's Captain Marvel and there's filler, nothing else!
