Maybe there was something that I missed. No reason to take offense.

If you're looking for some kind of in-universe explanation, here's an excerpt from the Marvel wiki
Quote:

After being separated from the other Infinity Stones, the Space Stone came into the possession of the Asgardian king Odin. It was housed inside a cube, which would be known as the Tesseract. It possesses the potential to create infinite energy, which can be used to create wormholes to other parts of the universe and different dimensions.

So Danvers got hit with the power of infinite energy in an uncontrolled blast. As mentioned above, Infinity War Thanos probably would have wiped the floor with her as he knew how to control all of the stones. But Endgame Thanos didn't have them for long enough. I still don't like Captain Marvel as a character precisely because she's too over powered and doesn't have any depth, but explaining her powers isn't much different than any of the other characters. Hell look at Wanda, she got her powers from the Mind Stone staff. But she was about to rip Thanos apart by herself before he had his ship open fire
