History Headscratchers / CaptainMarvel2019

** In the comics, Carol Danvers has the ability to absorb energy, so there's a good reason to believe she <i>could</i> have absorbed the energy from the core in an intense life or death moment, rather than just receiving and somehow surviving the energy from the core (which received it's energy from the Space Stone). Just because it hasn't been explained yet, doesn't mean it won't be in future properties. See above, re: Wanda's power origins.

** We can see in Infinity War and Endgame that Tony's latter suits are made of nanotech that can be stored in a tiny parcel. Given that Rockett mention that Tony is only the greatest mind on Earth, we can expect that the alien technology used nanotech long enough to their nanosuits be more advanced that Tony's.

* In Creator/StanLee's cameo, he is reading a script and presumably preparing for his role in ''Film/MallRats''. He plays himself in ''Film/MallRats'', in which Marvel Comics exist and characters within them (including those of this franchise) are talked about by characters including Stan Lee ... but''Film/MallRats'' is apparently a movie within the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''.

* Okay, it's a NecessaryWeasel when you have [[SupermanStaysOutOfGotham a universe like this]], but it's gotta be said somewhere. So, there's a superhero ''this powerful,'' and during Ultron, Malekith, the Hydra takeover, Thanos _before_ people started turning to dust, etc. etc. Carol never said "you know, I should probably go do something about that," and nobody who knew of her said "you know, we should probably ask the cosmic ultra-powerhouse who could deal with this in about ten seconds for help."

* In the comics, Goose was known as Chewie. I know it is a rather minor thing, but why change the name of the cat to one that would make less sense? Chewie is of course named for [[Franchise/StarWars everyone's favorite Wookiee]], but I mean why change it to Goose? I specifically say it makes less sense since his owner was part of a joint Air Force-NASA and ''Film/TopGun'' was a navy recruitment film. For those not in the know, InterserviceRivalry is rife in the branches of the US Armed Forces as can be easily seen by our page on it at Wiki/ThisVeryWiki. Royalties are obviously not a problem so why change it. And if they had to change for whatever reason (like casting a white actress to [[Film/DoctorStrange2016 The Ancient One]], why not make his new be a reference to a famous Astronaut or make it Apollo after the Apollo program?

** The Kree in the movie are mostly doing covert missions, which require stealth and subterfuge. The Kree slaves have no love for the Kree, so they wouldn't be sent on a more secretive mission, as they would likely desert if there were few Kree overseeing them.

** Worse, slaves trained to be effective covert ops operatives might turn those skills [[SlaveLiberation against their masters]].

* How did Talos within an hour of arriving on Earth locate and subdue a director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and know enough about the organisation to manipulate it's agents to do his bidding?

** Talos probably knew that no human doctor could do squat to heal a flerken-claw wound. Why ruin Fury's day even more?

** Goose has also shown to be very handy in a fight, and capable of identifying fried from foe. Keeping it around is a pretty good idea.

** With Captain Marvel's first movie happening in 1995, who's to say that they can't have Ronan in a sequel? The sequel doesn't have to be a modern day movie happening after Engame. There's plenty of room for it to happen between the end of this movie, and before the start of Guardians.

** WordOfGod is that Fury ''did'' contact her during the first Avengers movie. Obviously she didn't participate in the battle of New York, but considering her relative position it might have been more practical for her to have attacked Sanctuary, distracting his forces from being sent through the portal to earth. In fact considering her ties to various intergalactic organisations and empires, there's any number of ways she could help beyond 'fly to Earth and punch people'.

* After Carol has crashed to the Blockbuster store, and she's making the call to her Kree teammates, on the background we see ads for different music albums. Most of them make sense given that the movie takes place in 1995; for example, you see posters of Smashing Pumpkins' ''Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'', which came out that year. But there's also several posters advertising Leonard Cohen's ''The Future'', and they look pretty new and shiny... Except that that album had come out in 1992, and it wasn't really much of a success outside Canada. So why would there still be pristine posters for it hanging there three years later?

* When Fury gets scratched, he passes it off as a flesh wound, but the footage cuts away to the Skrull leader (Talos) shaking his head knowingly, but they never actually say anything. I guess it would be more understandable if the poison in the scratch could’t be cured, but that’s never clarified. Instead, they just come off a dicks.

* Where are all the Kree slaves? It's mentioned they use them for battle by Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.
