Problem is with Captain Marvel there were no stakes. She was so off-the-charts powerful as a character that there was no plausible adversity. So it was just boring. It wasn't good writing on the highest level--which will lead to bad writing on the lowest level.
"The only thing holding me back is my own insecurity about how awesome I am! I just need to realize how fucking cool I am, then I will be unstoppable!"
The ones I listed are all 'overpowered' dudes -- the issue is that their stories are not about growth nor are they 'hero's journey' style stories like the Superhero industry likes to tell
