EMH was rather mixed. Had it's good spots and its bad.

Assembled and Rising handle her really well without any of the random weird "wait wut?" questionable stuff of randomly depowering women to make them weak at inopportune times for no reason other than induced peril or other stuff of having them get the male hero into bad spots.

Don't get me wrong though, EMH had some great new stuff and neat moments, but there is some really 'wait, that's not how that works' moments when you stop to think about it. Like absorbing man and Thor's hammer. Which was a cool af scene, but uru metal isn't what Thor controls, and Uru metal is what Absorbing man absorbed. Still funny af that the enchantments went with it though for that scene. But logistically, really shouldn't have worked like that either. But hey, cartoons are allowed some leeway to do random "Cool for coolness sake" stuff.

It was funny to watch fans do mental blackflips to make excuses for that stuff though that was intentionally put there to see how they'd react to it or if they'd question it. That Carol and debris scene was one of those.

Captain Marvel's brand awareness is at a high right now. There have been some concentrated pushes for that intentionally since her rebranding from Ms. Marvel to Captain Marvel. Even before that though, her general audience awareness was relatively high for various reasons, including X-Men's Rogue. So she's pretty recognizable and has been heavily pushed and prepped for her solo movie, as well as having had several well received more general audience supported comic runs.

So going into the film, general audiences as well as kids are much more aware of who she is than say the GOTG that really only had 2 cartoon appearances before their first movie.

If you can't muster any excitement for another entry in a cinematic universe that can safely be declared a roaring success, that's fine. But a lot of other people are excited about it, and it's perfectly okay to be happy for them. Fandom is a hell of a lot better when we share it.
If anything, they've shown that they're great at putting the best possible people in place to succeed. So, I'm excited to see it.

I thought the trailer was really good. I actually liked it more than the Black Panther trailer, which I thought (wrongly) gave away too much of the action pieces. It sets up a character that 90+% of movie going audience members have no clue who it is. So many people think she is Marvel's response to Wonder Woman or Supergirl. There is a LOT of confusion by the masses. She doesn't have the 30 years of mass merchandise ranging from cake toppers to underoos that Venom has had.

Also, IMO the Brie Larson likeness is extremely lacking and doesn't match the standards of many of the recently great MCU figure releases.

I think they’ve done a pretty good job. There hasn’t been a really disappointing film in the whole series. I don’t care much for the first couple Thor movies but they were vaguely entertaining enough to make me buy more crap. So that’s how I measure the success of a film. Also none of them have been terrible like Joel Schumacker Batman that makes me hate everything for years.
