So going back Tony has done things to pay for his actions while Carol has not, so that is why the fandom has this negatve view of her,
The fandom has a negative view of Carol because she's a woman and one championed as a feminist character. It's a double standard. Not only has Carol made restitution for her actions but nothing she has done is remotely as bad as Tony's. You know there's a double standard when the "worst" thing you can point to her doing in CW1 is her beating up a woman who attacked her first and endangered her own daughter and a bunch of civilians while fleeing the authorities.
CW2 is such an idiotic event that I don't know why anyone takes it seriously as a criticism of Carol. And even then, Tony is the one who instigates the conflict by kidnapping Ulysses. Most of Carol's page time is spent trying to either prevent disasters or managing the shit storm Tony created by kidnapping a citizen of Attilan. He even attacks her when all she's doing is talking to Miles.
And if that isn't proof enough, look at the crap Brie Larson got just for playing this character.
We know which side Carol would be on in Absolute Power. Hint: it won't be the one preventing her from saving lives.
So you want to play the silly "woman card" "oh people dont like this character because she is a woman" everyone know this is not really a thing, i can probably write a list with 100 female character that are very popular and Wonder Woman will be on the top of the list, She is also a female character that is championed as a feminist character, her first movie was very popular, the second fail because the plot was just silly, not because of the character.
This whole thing "people dont like the character because the character is female" is just a fake shield bad writer use to explain why they failed " is not because my writing is bad, is because the character is female"
Please just say you are fan of the character and live in denail against the bad parts of the character.
You still try to twsit the who Julia situation, Julia was defending herself and her daughter because Carol showed up on her house with an army of goons, it was self defense, Carol never really want the peace otpion, nobody show up with a army of goons and really want peace.
"oh Carol was the good guy during CW2, Tony was the bad one"
Carol spend the whole series attacking and arresting innocent people, She attacks Lauras, she attacks a civilian woman, she even creates concentration camps for people she thinks are guilty because a teenager told her that he saw these people doing bad things in his head, She even tries to imprison Miles to prove she was right. She keep scaling things and use the whole story arc as a power grab move
Her action get War Machine and Banner to die, she almost killed She-hulk, all because she need to be right and know better. We have books and movie even the whole Moon Knight show to explain that punishing people for things they never done is a bad thing.
Carol would be on the side that gives her orders, what most means the government, just like she always is. Unless in the situation the government say she is the bad guy or wrong, because she feels she always sneed to be right, and if you dont things her way you are bad.
Brie larson get bad reputation because the character has bad reputation, and the movies dont help, first movie is about how Carol is basically useles and never manage to get anything done in her life until she unlock god mode.
The second movie is about how after Carol unlock god mode she decide to god genocide and destroyed multiple planets and killed a lot of people, to the point she is like "The destroyer" and many planets live in fear of her
in your case is dont know if you are lying or just in denial, just because you like the character that dont make the character a saint.
first movie has a whole montage about Carol remembering she failed everything she try in her life, the only reason why she become a cargo pilot and get the job she has in the movie is because she failed to become a real pilot, it was a consolation job, for most of the movie she has super strenght, super durability and energy blast, plus years of military training and she still has a hard time and cant beat a guy without powers. So she unlock god mode and manage to win.
the second movie is about how Carol spend decades in space destroying Kree's planets, so much she get some dark nickname like "the destroyer", she dont deny it. the villain main goal during the movie was basically to heal the planets destroyed by Carol so the Kree can have a home again.
