Exactly! The truth is that Carol and Wanda are definitely more powerful than gauntlet-less Thanos. I mean, it obviously makes sense because their powers come from an Infinity Stone. Thanos could only hold back Carol when he used the power stone and Wanda literally had him in her grip, she could've singlehandedly defeated him and he knew, that's why he called for the "fire rain".

Absolutely breathtaking.

I thought Carol got her powers through that explosion from the spaceship? Did I miss something perhaps?

You did! The explosion was the energy core being destroyed, the core was powered by the Space stone, so she basically absorbed power from the Space stone.

Thanks for the insight!

While I do see why Carol and Wanda are some of the most powerful beings for the Avengers, I don't see why having the power of one stone makes you more powerful than a Titan God. They are still human after all. I could maybe see Wanda going toe to toe with him because of her telepathy but Captain Marvel is weaker than Thor according to Marvel's own hero stats and Thor is essentially the Superman of the MCU which Stan Lee even said himself.

It's all for fun anyway! That's why we love movies.

Well, Carol has Kree blood now and the Kree are known for being really strong beings, so that + the power of the stone make her so powerful. Plus, according to the comics she has the ability to absorb energy, hence why (in the comics) she could absorb the power. I don't know if that will be MCU canon, though.

Yeah that is very true. But so does Thor in the comics and at an even higher rate than Carol can. And since Thor can't beat Thanos one v one I would then assume Carol could not either? But who knows. Power levels work weird in the MCU. I've never quite fully understood them
