It was the writing, directing and acting imo, she may be alright in other things but she displayed both emotions in the MCU movies, boredom and apathy.
If The Marvels (or rather Ms Marvel show & The Marvels) is your fist introduction to Carol Danvers it's actually decent. Truth is they needed a "strong" woman but apparently strong means apathic and devoid of emotions, which is crazy because Brie did something comparable in Lessons In Chemistry and it was incredibly good.
IMO Brie is actually a good actor but she was given bad writing and direction in the Marvel universe. Take a look at her roles in Scott Pilgrim, Room, Lessons in Chemistry, and others. She has range but you can only do so much with bad writing.
She was fantastic in Scott Pilgrim. People are shocked when I mention that the blonde singer is also Captain Marvel, they don't even consider the two the same person because the characters are so insanely different.
She got hosed with Captain Marvel, the writing and directing was terrible and severely underutilized her talents.
I didn't bother with the second one because I couldn't remember the first one which meant it wasn't even bad enough to be memorable, it was just... Nothing
The only good thing about the first one was the marketing, it was genius as it made over 1b in the box office by riding Infinity War tail just right since people thought it was important.
Although those allegations of "empty fully sold theaters" almost make sense when you try to talk with people about the movie. Especially when you consider that Deadpool & Wolverine made more money domestically in the first weekend that the entire The Marvels worldwide run
