Most of the time relateable flaws are what create that iconic status in context of the times in which they rise to fame. Trying to make someone too perfect.... meh. It comes off like the self insert of a narcissistic writer.

Yes about the Skrulls and Kree. Everything about that annoyed TF outta me. You know why.
That's exactly it. Carol Danvers' Ms./Captain Marvel was never written to be an iconic lead hero. It felt so forced that it annoyed me. Someone trying to force the plot without sufficiently investing the viewer into why that's important or necessary. Just forced virtue signalling to replace actual plot. And it didn't work for me.
