Stupidity: The heroines guess the plan of the villain with a thought process that can only be explained by the fact that they read the movie script. There is no way for them to surmise that the attack on the Skrull base, perpetrated under subterfuge, was intended to "syphon away the atmosphere", and not just the usage of a really powerful weapon. Even assuming that Kamala's objection to this particular point ("they could have just invaded or used a bomb") is a logical explanation that would disqualify without a second thought the fact that a Kree warlord would use a terrifying and cost-free weapon that is also a symbol of Kree's culture just for its power, and so that it makes sense that the heroines just instantly commit to an alternative theory, there's still a leap of logic in assuming the exact next step for the Kree's quest on revitalizing their homeland (which incidentally involves randomly dumping out of the blue a gigantic quantity of salt water on a densely populated planet).
The Marvels (2023)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Nia DaCosta
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Zawe Ashton
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, Kamala asks Carol on the porch, "Hey, do you still fly that thing?" She is holding her right hand with her left. The camera angle switches, and her left hand is low, out of frame and comes back up only seconds later after Carol's answer.
Trivia: Zawe Ashton, who plays Dar-Benn, the film's main antagonist, actually dressed up as Captain Marvel for Halloween in 2019. Her fiancé, Tom Hiddleston, best known for playing Loki in the MCU, dressed up as Daredevil, while Daredevil actor Charlie Cox dressed up as Loki.
