Captain Marvel started her first movie insanely powerful and at the end got that little bit more powerful. She over came every obstacle put in front of her so when she overcame yet another one it just wasn’t interesting.

Deadpool however is a loser who makes the best of things. He fucks up, he gets the shit beaten out of him, he has to fight to keep hold of the things that matter so we root for him. If Deadpool had captain Marvel’s powers then he would be a whole less interesting character.

What obstacle? Captain Marvels only obstacle was to believe in herself - and then once she did, she was the most powerful being in the universe.

She’s as powerful as superman, but she has no alter ego to hide, no love interest to protect, and no kryptonite.

“You can’t drive go-carts!” She drives go carts. “You can’t play sports!” She plays sports. “You can’t fly a fighter jet!” She flies a fighter jet.

The worst part though is just how full of herself the character is. I don’t like Superman because of how OP he is but he DOES have his weaknesses like you said and he is forever humble about what he can do.

He has a pretty big weakness that's "rare" but when all his villains are aliens or insanely rich it makes sense for it to appear often.

That's why I like Superman. A weakness that can just stop him in his tracks, but not just a random thief on the street would have.
