I should probably identify my problem with Captain Marvel's power level, not as an issue with women, or with various comic canon, but as... boring. When you make a character invincible, you make them boring.
If I remember correctly, 2 of the most powerful characters in the comics were given fatal flaws. Scarlett Witch completely lost touch with reality, and Sentry was a complete emotional wreck. This humanized them, and made their power levels pretty much irrelevant.
That said, if they do another Captain Marvel movie, and she has a massive personal obstacle to overcome in order to use any of her power, then that is interesting, awesome, and all is forgiven.
It would also retcon her previous appearances into being much cooler.
