I saw Captain Marvel tonight and wanted to share some none spoiler thoughts. First off, let me just say that I've read Kelly Sue DeConnick's Captain Marvel run as well as some of the previous Ms. Marvel series (Carol's series , not Kamala's). I enjoyed both of them and was looking forward to this movie.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. As others have said, it wasn't ground breaking but it was still good. Personally, I would like to see a Captain Marvel sequel before a Dr. Strange sequel.
The marketing for this movie isn't really true to the actual movie but this has happened before with other Marvel movies (like the Nine Inch Nails song used in the first GOTG trailer).
As for Carol's personality and the way Brie Larson portrayed her, I think a lot of it comes down to the way she was written because there were time that I could see the comic book version in Larson's performance. I won't go in to any specifics but (minor spoilers grayed out) the Kree are very clear about what they expect of Carol's behavior within the first 5-10 minutes of the movie and Brie plays it that way. Also, Brie wasn't playing the character to get laughs the way RDJ, Chris Pratt, or Paul Rudd would so she's going to seem more reserved in comparison.

Is there a certain process or chemical that you guys use that works better?

I typically use normal nail polisher remover like you would get at the drug store. I believe the bottle says 100% acetone. I've only ever had success using rubbing alcohol on older Transformers (like from the Classics Era). If the paint is actually staining the figure, then you'll need to just paint over the problem area. Leaving the acetone on the figure for a long period of time or using a stronger paint remover can damage the plastic.
