Id like to see Carol Danvers more in the way she was in the Avengers EMH cartoon.

It makes sense given her background in the military and the dynamics involved in a woman rising through the ranks within a traditionally (and profoundly) patriarchal system. She would have experienced a great deal of second guessing and hostility attaining her rank and, as a result, she would brook no foolishness. I think Brie is playing the role correctly. She doesn't need to smile more.

I know a few female military personnel. One is actually SF. They do not walk around with chips on their shoulders, fists and jaws clenched. They have an easy and almost quiet swagger about them. They are confident.

I don't think Larsen portrays a great member of military personnel. Because she seems more PETULANT. Like a spoiled misunderstood kid.
