History TearJerker / CaptainMarvel2019

* Creator/KevinSmith reported that he had ManlyTears at Stan Lee's cameo, referring back to Smith's time working with him on ''Film/{{Mallrats}}''.

* The fact that the people Carol thought were her friends for ''six years'' turned out to murderous monsters with no problem killing defenseless refugees (only one of them hesitates the slightest when it comes to hurting Carol herself).

* At the autopsy of the Skrull that disguised himself as Coulson, Talos quietly mourns his fallen comrade and wishes him luck in his afterlife. [[spoiler:It's especially bad after discovering that these so-called "terrorists" are actually desperate and scattered refugees hounded by the Kree for not submitting to their collective.]]
** [[spoiler: The early scenes with the Skrull become much darker when you realize that every dead Skrull mook drives the species closer to extinction.]]
** [[spoiler: The funny moment from a minute ago where Fury and the disguised Talos look at the dead Skrull's genitals become less funny once it's clear that Talos had to play along with degrading and humiliating his deceased friend just to keep cover.]]

* After a (relatively) light-hearted action film, the first stinger [[spoiler: throws us right back into a [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar post-snap]] [[Film/AvengersEndgame world]]]] with a simple exchange:
-->'''[[spoiler:Steve:]]''' This is a nightmare.\\
'''[[spoiler:Natasha:]]''' I've had better nightmares.
** This includes [[spoiler: Steve watching counters of the missing people that are in the ''billions''...and counting.]]
* In a sense, Carol's whole storyline. She loses her memories of her old life on Earth, [[spoiler: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 little moment when [[spoiler: 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.
* 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 [[spoiler: 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.]]

* Maria expressing her shock at seeing Carol, her best friend, alive for the first time in six years and with alien powers.

* Talos’s emotional reunion with his wife and daughter, which drives it further just how much the Kree have taken from the Skrulls.
