Yes people hate Brie bc she's a women or she appears to be a bitch. Will I say she is my favorite actor, no. Better then Joe McHale or Aziz Ansari. However, she does a great job with Captain Marvel.

DC had the same issue that the MCU is running into. The lead shouldn't be your god killer. Maybe they do a "with all this power I failed bc I didn't play to everyone's strengths," story.

If Hulk or Thor lead, it would be the same issue. The eternals failed for the same reason. "We have a fast girl, a guy that has finger guns, and someone that kills a literal god." It felt empty and pointless from the other members view point. Imagine Hawkeye getting killed by a bullet with the Hulk, Sentry, and Dr. Strange standing next to him. You would question why he's there.
