How I would've made Captain Marvel...

I haven't seen the Brie Larson movie. But, the whole Annette Benning being Mar-Vell bothers me. It's an unnecessary gender swap to appease non-fans, who can't stand the fact that a MAN is the source of Carol's powers. (Recently attempted to be retconned by having her mother be a Kree warrior)
Before I watch the actual movie, here's a rough idea of what I WANTED to see:

We start in the late 40s. After the events of Captain America: First Avenger, the Tesseract's energy signature caused a Kree scout ship carrying a small crew to make contact with Earth. Due to a malfunction on the ship thanks to a small skirmish with a Skrull ship near Earth, the Kree ship crashes in New Mexico. (Roswell incident)
The crew consisted of:
Mar-Vell, Yon-Rogg, Marie-Ell, and a 4th unknown warrior who died on the crash.
The US Government covers up the incident and they put Colonel Nicola Giuseppe Fieri (played by a Digitally retouched David Hasselhoff) as the main US-Kree liason.
Fieri, known by his Anericanized name, Nick Fury Sr. (Father of the Midern Fury) Begins a shaky relationship with the Kree. Utilizing Kree knowledge to improve American technology. Secretly experimenting with Kree DNA to create superhumans (and failing ).
While Mar-Vell and Mari-Ell are more interested in aiding the Earth to defend itself from the impending Skrull Menace, Yon-Rogg is interested in returning home and forgetting about Earth (or the backwoods planet full of "retarded pink monkeys"... actual term used by a parallel universe Mar-Vell to refer to humans.)

The Skrulls, secretly aided by Yon-Rogg attack Area 51 when both Mar-Vell and Mari-Ell fight the invaders. Dubbed Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel, They are struck by a weapon which weakens both Mari-Ell and Mar-Vell. (Both were trying to protect a young Soldier... Ms. Rambeau)
Mar-Vell taking the brunt of the blast was saved by merging with Rookie Agent Wendell Vaughn. Mari-Ell was weakened and amnesiac. She wandered off and remained MIA until her memories returned in the mid 80s.

The new Entity, known as Quasar staves off the invasion of the Skrulls. Fury secretly obtains Wendell's DNA and combines it with the unknown "Kree soldier" (who in reality was a being from Titan.) to create a Kree/Human Hybrid duo of siblings (Genis and Phyla Vell).
Wendell leaves Fury when he discovers the Babies and "disappears". Taking the name of Rick Jones, he locates Mari-Ell, now Marie Danvers in Boston . Her memories as a Kree Champion return to her after Carol's powers begin manifesting. This (roughly 40-minutes long flashback sets up the action occurring now in the mid 90s)


After an encounter with a Skrull agent (while Carol is wearing a black swimsuit based on her Warbird outfit... she was at a pool party) Mr. Jones dubs her Warbird and gives her a Kree Champion outfit.

Yon-Rogg attacks Earth in hopes to destroy the blemish on his military history. He encounters the planet's defenses to be pathetic, until Quasar and Warbird intervene. Yon-Rogg has the upper hand and Quasar goes full Captain Marvel in an attempt to stop Rogg. Mar-Vell falls and before being killed by Rogg, he clangs the Nega Bands one last time as he summons his Clone Children from Area 51.  With the help of Mari-Ell, the Vell children and Carol defeat Yon-Rogg.

Mari-Ell takes Mar-Vell's body with the Vell childrenback to the Kree homeworld with Yon-Rogg to clear Mar-Vell's name and to keep the Earth as a neutral territory on the Kree-Skrull war. As Carol watches her mother and her allies leave, a black man brings an old white man in a wheelchair. It's the Furys. Fury Jr. (SLJ digitally retouched) can't believe that the Skrulls, Yon-Rogg and all the stories were true. Carol deduces, the old man is Fury Sr. He hands her the receiver to the "Space Pager" as he suggests to follow her mother. And if the Earth is in peril, Jr. would call her. As Danvers leaves, both Furys discuss if they should go to Westchester and talk with the Professor or visit Senior's "friend" in Canada now that the Pyms and the Vells are out of the board. Fury Jr. Decides to sebd Coulson and Parker to New York and the Furys would go ti Canada.

Movie would be 2:20 in length. Just to give it enough time to create a grudge between Rogg and Vell, while making you care about Carol.

Mar-Vell's importance is cemented and why it's significant when she ascends from Warbird to Captain Marvel.

I tried my best to keep the Ms. Marvel era just to echo the difference in the comics (how old school Carol had a different personality from Modern Carol)
Personally, I would've preferred to have 2 movies. One to set up the Kree-Skrull war, Mar-Vell's journey and the second one be Carol's journey... but the mouse wants to shove Carol ASAP for Endgame.

Ah, yes, the white Fury... Seeing that SLJ would be too young for WWII, making him Nick Fury Jr. Made sense, seeing the comics have 2 Furys. I chose Hasselhoff for a simple reason... He already was a Nick Fury. Sonce pne pf the themes here is passing the baton to a next Generation, mirroring the passing of the CM title with the Furys.

Quasar, I had to combine with Rick Jones in order to have a nod to the dynamic between the Vells and Rick, not to mention adding Quasar.

I added a scene with a nod to the famous Warbird outfit, simply because it's the version that has made her an icon...
It was the first suit that wasn't derivative of Mar-Vell. It was the outfit that she spent most of the time appearing as a guest in other books.

The references to the X-Men are for 2 reasons:
Foreshadowing the coming of Mutants
And Foreshadowing a key Element of Carol's life...
