History TearJerker / CaptainMarvel2019

* A little moment when Talos reunites with his family. His wife greets him affectionately, but his daughter is in the shadows and does not come immediately until her mother tells her it's okay. He's been gone at least six years, and there's a good chance she may not have even recognized him at first.

** [[spoiler:An episode of ''Series/WandaVision'' shows that Monica was snapped but Maria survived. Unfortunately, the latter succumbed to cancer two years later]]

-->'''Carol:''' I know this must be hard for you.
-->'''Maria:''' Oh what, this part right here? No. No, Mmm-mmm. No, what's hard is losing my best friend, in a mission so secret they act like it never even happened. ''Hard'' is knowing you were out there somewhere too damn stubborn to die. And now you come up in here after ''six years'' with your supercharged fire hands, and you expect me to call you... I don't even know what, Vers? Is that really who you are now?
-->'''Carol:''' ''(Quietly)'' I don't know.

** Indeed, the opening where Lee's many Marvel Movie cameos take the place of the usual characters in the Marvel Studios logo is moving.
* Likewise when Carol looks at Creator/StanLee to see if he's a skrull, unlike everyone else, she gives him a warm smile.

* In a sense, Carol's whole storyline. She loses her memories of her old life on Earth, and never gains them back. By the end of the movie, Carol is essentially a woman with no home or family of her own, and no idea of her place in the universe.

* A TearJerker that can only be inferred by [[ForegoneConclusion the way the plot is set to go in the future]]. Carol was back for all of a few days after being missing and presumed dead for six years, and now Maria and Monica have to say goodbye to her again. And this time, she doesn't come back home for the better part of a quarter-century. And when she finally does, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar there's a chance that one or both may have been victims of the Snap.]]

** Related to this, while she almost certainly knows the Snap happened, there's absolutely no way she could know Fury specifically was a victim. The first thing she says upon encountering the surviving Avengers, who are investigating what is to them a weird pager displaying a bizarre symbol that only meant anything to Fury, is "Where's Fury?", and the answer is probably going to be devastating.

* Two words, just before the film opens: "Thanks Stan."
