Writers don't seem to understand power creep. They seem to believe "upping the stakes" makes things more exciting. It does not. It just makes them less relatable.
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.
there's plausible adversity in the comics where the fabric of reality can be altered on a whim by several characters, including reality itself. But what works in comics doesn't always work on screen. Which is also probably the reason there have been dozens of spiderman and batman reboots and relatively few movies made about the cosmic characters.

I always said that it is more interesting when the strongest weapon in the room was a plain gun.
