We don't know if she will be the deciding factor yet. We don't even know if he is the villain the Avengers will engage in A4 yet.The difference though is that neither came in as the savior to the material. Why the hell is Captain Marvel of all people going to be the deciding factor against Thanos? I know Marvel had the 10yr plan for the MCU, but I truly feel that they saw the success of Wonder Woman and decided that they were going to Make Captain Marvel their top heroine. The problem is that Wonder Woman is an iconic hero whereas the only time Carol Danvers was a little entertaining was as Ms. Marvel.
They announced this movie before WW even had a release date. And I think the clue to her being their top heroine was her name.
Ironman and Cap were not beloved/iconic characters until the MCU made them that way. That's.part of the power of these movies/franchise.
