Captain Marvel with a small team in tow defeats a character that bested Odin and Galactus in single combat (mind you, they were both weakened, but you know what I mean)? PFFFFT! It makes no sense that she'd be that powerful. Captain Marvel was full Kree and he didn't exhibit that level of power and if Brood experimentation (Binary) could elicit that sort of result, why wouldn't they just augment themselves and beat up Thanos-level characters? Marvel's a mess....as much as I love Carol, there's no need to cannibalize certain characters (or her own origins) to elevate her artificially. That's my larger point with Starlin/Warlock/Thanos. I'm afraid I disagree about Starlin exercising creative license with his characters because they don't exist in isolation. They are part of a mosaic. Changing them drastically, creates imbalance.

It was implied in story, that due to Thanos' "resurrection" after his death in Secret Wars, he was severely weakened when he appeared on Earth and fought with Carol's team. Also, I can't say for sure, but my sneaky suspicion is that at some point during this skirmish, Thanos realized the inevitable stalemate that was brewing and decided to take the L and be captured giving him time to come up with another strategy which he is already doing in current issues of the Ultimates.
