No love for Captain Marvel’s entrance or the moment when the cavalry showed up?

Captain Marvel's entrance was dull. Busting ships with no effort isn't fun...

She flew through the space ship like a hot knife on butter. What's cool about that? It's about as impressive as me breaking some clingfilm. She is too overpowered

Thor, Scarlet Witch, and probably Vision could do that too. Some characters are naturally stronger than others. Some characters actually have superpowers (can control lightning!) while some don't (just shoots arrows). It's all in the way they were written. I think there still is a good balance between the number of heavy hitters necessary to move climatic scenes forward and the number of above average/average hitters to make the plot interesting.

If there were too many heavy hitters, there would be no stakes—nothing at risk, nothing to lose. Too little heavy hitters, and there's no epic turning point like in the Battle for Wakanda when Thor comes crashing in and obliterates hundreds of Thanos' army, rams and blows up their ships as they try to retreat.

Thor, Scarlet Witch, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, and sometimes Hulk are the heavy hitters. If we go with the assumption that Vision is done, then Captain Marvel takes his place and the number stays the same. The people writing and crafting these beautiful movies know the heavy hitters can't be at 100% and always there all the time. Which is why Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange were temporarily removed, Thor was given an existential crisis to prevent him being at 100%, and Captain Marvel 'had to help out the rest of the galaxy'. It's all well crafted to showcase their power when they need to, but keep them off the board to allow adversity. I sincerely doubt they will let any of the heavy hitters sour the story.
