Yeah big difference in relationship there though.
Thor/Loki were brothers that grew up together as kids, Thor mentions he's 1500 years old, so lots of history there between the two brothers.
CM and Yon Rogg is a little different - sure he's trained you for the last 6 years as a mentor. But you now find out he's also the reason you lost your old life to begin with, that he's lied to you for 6 years, has been trying to keep you away from your past, and that he's really just been training you to develop you as a weapon.
So Captain Marvel probably has the right reaction there considering the circumstances - bigger argument probably could have been if they could have done something to make Yon Rogg more likable so they needed to make it look like it was more of a struggle.
The one area where I do think they failed to show the character growth was in her decision to stay in space to help others. Really the movie was about her finding herself, and about her past. Then when she did find her past and her friends that loved her, she didn't really have a struggle between staying on earth with her friends vs. going to space to end the war as Mar-vell hoped.
They just kind of glossed over that decision like it was a no-brainer that she would carry out the work of Mar-vell.
