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

I appreciate that and what you say is true of many members of the military. Anecdotally, I have family that are career military, both men and women and they run the gamut of personality types. Many are easier going while some others do have noticeably rigid personalities - understandable considering that when lives are on the line, ordered steps keep you breathing. Additionally, and without giving up too many personal deets, I do have a female inlaw who left a decorated armed service career for civilian life after not being promoted despite her success and national recognition. All that said, this isn’t so much about military tropes or sterotypes as it is, imo, about Carol Danvers and how she’s been portrayed in the books. Brie has the proper tone for how I believe Carol would behave given what we know of the character and the circumstances/changes laid out within the MCU. I can only hope that we see the MCU character grow as she did in the books which, I imagine, will reflect in how Larson approaches the role.
