The biggest film in the world right now has to be Marvel’s latest hit, Captain Marvel. The origin story and first female-led superhero film for the MCU, the film tells the story of Carol Danvers, a young woman with no memory of her past who works as a warrior hero for the alien civilization known as The Kree. The Kree are at war with the shapeshifting alien race known as the Skrulls, and the war comes to Earth as Captain Marvel must find the secrets of her past and discover the truth that will end the war once and for all. After having seen this film, I can honestly say that I loved it. It was fun, exhilarating, and a truly fun origin story that leads perfectly into her role in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, all the while creating an all-powerful female hero in the MCU that shines just as brightly as Thor 🌠or Iron Man. Yet even the best films aren’t with🎉out their flaws, and there were some moments that were either missed or lacking in the film.

While we explore the film in its entirety, we are going to be looking at both the worst things to happen (or not happen) in the latest MCU film, while also taking a look at the best and brightest moments that shone out like a star. So come along as we take a look at the 15 Worst Moments from Captain Marvel (an🎃d the 15 Best), and be warned, there might be some spoilers from the film included, so proceed at your own r🤡isk…

30 Worst: There Is 🐽A Destinct La🌠ck Of Coulson

One of the biggest things fans will notice is that the highly anticipated return of everyone’s favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Phil Coulson, wasn’t as extensive as fans were first led to believe. Considering Coulson was with the MCU since day 1 and hadn't appeared in the films since The Avengers, fans were naturally excited to see him back. While I myself thoroughly enjoyed seeing Clark Gregg show off his first days in the field, the fan favorite MCU character only appears in a handful of scenes,🍒 making his return fun yet brief in the grand scheme of things.

29 💜 Best: '90s Music Is Dope — And So Is This Soundtrack

One thing that the cosmic side of the MCU💫 has become kno💦wn for is the stellar soundtracks.

In the films, music plays a key role in the stories of the characters, including Peter Quill’s mixtꦕapes that were left by his mother before she pa😼ssed away.

In this film, the origin story of Larson’s Carol Danvers takes place in the ’90s, and we get an equally fun 🌠dose of music from that era, including groups like TLC, No Doubt and of course the essential 90s band, Nirvana.

28 Worst: No "Hydra To Hail꧃" Is A Missed Opportunity ꦉ

A huge presence in the film was, of course, Nick Fury, who served as the younger agent version of what MCU fans will come to know and love as the master spy of the universe. As a young S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he is the key to tying Captain Marvel’s story to the larger Avengers narrative the MCU established. One thing this includes is the secret history of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury discovered in The Winter Soldier.

This history showed that their mortal enemies, HYDRA, had infiltrated the organization an൲d corrupted it. Yet in the ’90s Fury wouldn’t have known that. The film could have made a brief Easter egg or cameo appearance of HYDRA in the film, or even a brief HAIL HYDRA between two undercover agents. Yet the film never got there.

27 Best: Monica Rambeau Is Here𝕴 (And We're So Excited)

One of the newer twists in the origin story of the MCU’s version of Captain Marvel came in the form of Carol’s best friend on Earth, Maria Rambeau. Coming up together in the Air Force and hoping to break the barrier that banned women from flying fighter jets in the ’90s, Maria had a daughter she named Monic💦a. This is a huge nod to the Marvel Comics universe, as Monica Rambeau was one of the first heroes to don the mantle of Captain Marvel after the original Mar-Vell. She later changed her name to Spectrum, Photon, and Pulsar, and she had energy based powers as well. This nod to the '90s kid version of the character may hint at the character’s heroic journey later in the MCU.

26 Worst: The Cheesy Quips ❀Are Bad (And Marvel Can Do Better) 🐼

While there were only a couple of instances where this occurred, a couple of pieces of dialogue would appear throughout the film that were either meant to be humorous or meant to be indicative of a thematic message, yet the overall line or action taken did not come across that way. From a memory of Carol’s featuring an idiotic male꧙ pilot makingܫ a lewd innuendo, to a moment where a Skull soldier howls in Carol’s face and she returns the gesture, there were a couple of moments that could have been taken out to make the dialogue and story flow smoother.

25 Best: Infinity War Connection Is Too Awesome 💫

One tie-in🐎 hardcore MCU fans will enjoy is getting a glimpse into Captain Marvel’s accidental interaction with an infinity stone. While I won’t spoil anything too in-depth for you readers still waiting to see the film out there, Carol eventually holds one of the powerful stones in her hands, not realizing its ties to other infinity stones or the fact Thanos is searching for it. It shows off another huge connection Captain Marvel has to the Avenger’s storyline going forward.

24 🅰 Worst: Ronan The Accuser Is Under Utilized (...Again)

One of the least favored villains in the MCU has to be Ronan, despite being in one of the most beloved films in the MCU (Guardians of the Galaxy).

Ronan the Accuser was a high ranking member of the Kree Empire. While becoming a pariah to the Kree by the time of the GoTG film, in Captain Marvel he is still a respected and feared military leader who represents the most destructive force the Kree have to offe🍷r. Yet fans will notice that, once again, this powerful Marvel villain is under utilized in this film, only appearing in a handful of scenes throughout.

23 Best: The Skrulls Appearance Totally Works 🌳

One of the most iconic alien threats in the Marvel Comics universe has to be the Skrulls. The shape-shifting aliens are notorious to longtime Marvel fans, using their abilities to replace heroes and infiltrate entire planets in order to gain dominance in the galaxy. Their lizard like appearance is a huge iconic thing among the Skrull people, and this film does an excellent job of nailing down the look of this alien race. Props to the makeup department in Captain Marvel in a big way.

22 Worst: We Don't Hear About Her (Awf🔴ul) Family ﷽

One thing that fans might not expect one way or another is ✅the other part of Carol Danver’s origin story. Much of Carol’s past focused on her time training to become a pilot, overcoming great odds to prove everyone wrong that a woman couldn’t be as strong or powerful as a man for the job. The film did include a few flashes of memories from her childhood here and there, but it wasn’t anything extensive.

One of the biggest parts of Carol’s story has to be her family, as she dealt with an aggressive father, which caused a rift between her and her mother and brothers after the father’s passing aw꧒ay. This critical element of her character wasn’t really full realized in this film, and hopefully will be explored somewhat in future films.

21 Best: '90s References Are All Hilarious (Not Tacky) 💜

Any time we get to explore a hero’s origin story in the MCU, we often find ourselves transported back in time to various era’s in human history. From The Cap during WWII to '70s and '80s culture influencing Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy, each film tends to hide mementos, Easter eggs, or moments from various era’s of time. In this '90s inspired film, the Easter eggs were nonstop. From dial-up computers and CD-ROMS, to Blockbuster and films like True Lies, this film ha🐈d a full blast from the past for many 90s kids.
