* SuperDickery: An early trailer briefly shows Carol seemingly punching an old woman without any context. [[spoiler:Turns out that the old woman was actually a Skrull... not that Carol took the time to explain that to any of the other passengers, who intervene to stop Carol from beating up a seemingly helpless old lady. Even as [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight the old lady is acrobatically spinning, jumping and kicking Carol]].]]

* DeceptivelyCuteCritter: Goose looks and acts like an adorable cat, so much so that Nick Fury [[CutenessProximity is captivated by her]]. Talos the Skrull, however, knows more about her, calling her a "flerken". Flashback shows that [[spoiler:Carol's old mentor, Wendy Lawson a.k.a Mar-Vell]], was the original owner of Goose, and after her owner's death, she simply hangs around in the facility her owner used to work in, with no one the wiser due to her being an otherwise harmless cat. Her true nature is shown later when [[spoiler:she can swallow the [[MacGuffin Tesseract]] with no problems, and she can also sprout tentacles out of her mouth and swallow multiple people/things at once into her BlackHoleBelly. The Kree soldiers classified her as having a high threat]].

* ConditionedToBeWeak: On top of her RestrainingBolt and initial AmnesiacHero status, "Vers" is constantly told by Yon-Rogg that she's too emotionally driven and that using her powers against him in sparring indicates she's too weak to beat him without them. After "Vers" remembers her prior life as Carol Danvers and discovers the depths of Kree's gaslighting, Yon-Rogg attempts to HonorBeforeReason her in their final confrontation, challenging her to fight him without powers again to prove she can. This time, she promptly blasts him, saying, "I have nothing to prove to you."

* ResolvedNoodleIncident: One of the oldest mysteries of the Infinity Saga is how the Cinematic Nick Fury lost his left eye. All audiences had to go on for a decade was Fury's cryptic claim to Steve Rogers in ''The Winter Soldier'' that he'd lost his eye the last time he trusted someone. So, ''Captain Marvel'' finally dramatizes the incident, and it turns out Nick ''technically'' didn't lie to Steve. That broad strokes recap ''was'' the truth...except Nick being Nick, he left out some embarassing context. [[spoiler:Nick lost the eye beacause he trusted Goose the Flerken not to eat him. Goose scratched him, however, because Nick kept playing with her chin and finally annoyed the Flerken past the point of endurance.]]

** The opening of the film shows dust blowing and falling in slow motion, very similar to people disintegrating due to the Snap, so that it's possible to think this is an immediate sequel to ''[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]]''. Then it becomes clear that it's Ver's dream sequence.

** It won't be the last time Nick Fury [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier crashes his car]]. From the same movie he mentions he lost an eye the last time he trusted someone, [[spoiler:and we see that Goose was the someone in question]]. Also, S.H.I.E.L.D. is once again infiltrated by hostile outsiders, though HYDRA would probably turn [[JustForPun green]] with envy if they saw how fast and easily the Skrulls climbed up S.H.I.E.L.D.'s chain of command.
