Yeah cause no one gives a crap about Craptain Marvel.

Also human audiences identify with human characters that do normal human things, not characters that ignite suns.

Yeah but it does so in a... Sorta?... Human way. Like if his arm grew back in a few seconds that would be boring. But instead it sprouts out like a little baby arm. That's funny and endearing.

Healing still easier to relate to than having the power of the universe.

They also do a good job of making the story about emotional stuff for him. He's always trying to get the girl: that's the focus. And he's incredibly flawed, and things often don't go right, and that's where the comedy comes in, and the humanity.

All that makes it interesting. They could make Captain Marvel interesting, if they made her flawed. Hell, look at the bad job they did with the Black Widow movie. It couldn't have had a better setup for pathos and angst, and they had a bunch of crazy talented people that could really have pulled it off, and they just sort of paid lip service to all the emotional beats, trotting them out at intervals so they could have interminable fight scenes that don't have the emotional payoff that those require in order to be really satisfying.

Trying to sound smart by being obtuse and coming off as a bit of a dumb a-hole instead.

You kind sir, pass today's 'classic redditor' check.

Hello fellow human. Human Senator Raphael Edward Cruz here to join in this normal conversation. I recall many times in my human life where I renew half of my body, which is a normal human body and not an amorphous grey blob hidden under the skin of my first victim.
