**Carol: “''If there are lives at stake, I’ll fly the plane.''”

Carol: “''If there are lives at stake, I’ll fly the plane.''”

* In the flashback to Mar-Vell's death, despite being understandably taken aback that her friend and mentor was an alien warrior this whole time, Carol does her best to comfort her in her final moments, and notably, doesn't so much as 'flinch' at taking over the mission to keep the lightspeed engine out of the Kree's hands. She was indeed a hero and powerful "Way before [she] could shoot fire from [her] fists."

* During the first mission, the Skrull disguised as At-Lass stops Minn-Erva from sniping a refugee, stating they're not Skrulls, just starving. Sure, he attempts to kill her just after when she realizes he's a fake, but given the Skrulls true nature, it's not hard to see him trying to keep a few of his comrades from dying.

** As we see in some later movies in the MCU, some of them ''did'' stay on Earth. FireForgedFriends indeed.

* During the first mission, the Skrull disguised as At-Lass stops Minnerva from sniping a refugee, stating they're not Skrulls, just starving. Sure, he attempts to kill her just after when she realizes he's a fake, but given the Skrulls true nature, it's not hard to see him trying to keep a few of his comrades from dying.

* Later in the movie the heroes find Mar-Vell's ship and discover that several Skrull refugees, including Talos' wife and kid, were sheltered there by her. She may be a PosthumousCharacter but the impact of her good actions is felt throughout the whole story.

** When she first sees Carol, Talos's wife is understandably worried, but Talos is quick to reassure her and specifically calls Carol [[FireForgedFriends 'a friend']].

** Before he starts shooting the Kree guards, Talos whispers to his wife to cover their daughter's eyes so she won't be traumatized.

** Monica and Talos's daughter seem to hit it off and become friends.
-->'''Monica:''' You guys have the ''best'' eyes. (Takes Talos's daughter's hand.) Never change your eyes.

** Mar'Vel in a flashback mentions that Goose doesn't like many people, but we see her rubbing against Carol, which in cat language is a sign of affection.

** Fury is also very quickly willing to work with Carol. Outside of his initially [[CassandraTruth disbelief to Carol's seemingly outlandish story]], he actually defers to her judgement when he accepts that she is the most knowledgeable of the two on the threat. Similarly, after the climax, he also offers Maria a job at SHIELD as a pilot impressed with seeing what she could do with a prototype Quad-jet first-hand.

** Goose was at the base for years, [[AdultFear waiting for her owner to return]]. When she sees Carol, what is her first reaction? Walk towards her and Fury. Cue a cuddle-session where Fury checks her collar and Goose gently removes his hand.

* During the train scene, upon seeing Carol punching a helpless old lady, many of the passengers proceed to restrain Carol from hurting the "old lady" any further. Even IF said old lady was actually a Skrull in disguise and that the passengers didn't know it, AND “she” had demonstrated “she” was perfectly capable of fighting back, it still doesn't take away from the fact that they were more than ready to come to an old woman's defense upon the first (supposed) sight of injustice towards her.
