They should go watch One Punch Man to understand how to make these characters work.

Agreed. One of the tropes I like in OPM is that he's never called to any of the fights and only shows up for the final fight. Until then all of his friends and colleagues are fighting for their lives. They kind of did that a little with Endgame, which was a really badass moment for Captain Marvel imo.

Maybe they could go more towards the other trope of being so powerful they're bored, but that would be quite a bit against the grain for Captain Marvel's character.

I think in general audiences are just bored with the all powerful, strong moral backbone super hero. That's why OPM, The Boys, and Invincible are popular.
