For all the flaws of Morbius and The Marvels, they weren't intentionally written to destroy the lead character and piss off most of the audience. I think that was the big stake to the heart of this movie.
I'll give you Morbius, as Leto was trying his hardest to become A Thing again, but Marvels was absolutely written to continue to stick it to comic book readers with the forceful shoving of Brie Larson in our face and the absolute nonsense that is Kamala across all mediums.
The Marvels just had the benefit of being the 1203rd stab in that regard, instead of the 1st, so people didn't even care enough to be upset about it.
To clarify, I didn't mean long-time loyal fans of Pre-2008 Marvel. The MCU has barely given a fuck about what they wanted since these movies started. I meant casual fans of the MCU and people who actually liked the Captain Marvel movie (however many that is).
Now a Folie a Deux-tone Captain Marvel sequel would be like "She's a completely useless bitch, she fails at everything, she completely rejects her superhero role, then gets raped and dies". While I can imagine that would be wildly popular with a few people, it's similarly ill-advised.
Considering the poor reception Brie had from the moment she was announced, continuing to use her without any change was offensive to even those MCU fans.
Double so because both of her movies also exist to emasculate and demean Nick Fury, who is closer to her bumbling black sidekick instead of a hardass super spy a lot of the times.
I get your point, I'm just not giving them that credit.
