The problem is with the actress.
1. she is unathletic . even the young chicks in spider-man had better muscle definition. she looks like a sack of potato mush. NOTE: I don't mean muscles. I mean form and posture and definition - all of which gadot had. look at her introduction as an MCU cast member at comic-con. Her shoulders are narrower than her waist which is anti-typical for the physical heroic form
2. she doesn't exude dynamism.
3. she is being pushed as a archetype where her qualifying attributes are her phenotype. looking "like" a certain cast alone should not be enough. for the record I also think Boseman is sub-par so it ain't about "that".
4. lacks charisma in all the interviews that I have seen of her.
I have no issue with powerful female characters.
My favourite comic was the X-men during Claremont's time. In the X-Men the females were typically the most powerful heroes - the ones that had the elemental type powers. Polaris, Pheonix/Marvel Girl, Storm, Binary. Storm was the leader of the X-Men and the Morlocks. Dark Pheonix took on everyone. Lilandra was leader of the Shiar. Anyone remember Polaris vs. the Reavers? True comic fans have been waiting for a proper representation of the X-Men for years where Wolvie is relegated and others like Storm, Jean Gray (and admittedly Cyclops - who storm beat) take centre-stage.
Byrne did similar things during his writing and I am a fan of his work too. When he joined FF he moved Invisible Girl to Invisible Woman (Fantastic Four Vol 1 284) and made her the most powerful team member. Byrne is the one that had Doom himself state that Sue was the most powerful - ("It has been said on numerous occasions, including by the Fantastic Four's greatest opponent, Doctor Doom, that Susan Storm is the single-most powerful member of the quartet and she is one of the few beings able to rupture the shell of a Celestial" [Invisible Woman - Wikipedia] ) . Byrne created Frankie Raye who he made into Herald of Galactus Nova who was vastly more powerful than The Human Torch (who has similar powers) - Nova (Frankie Raye) - Wikipedia .
Byrne is in many ways like James Cameron (both Canadian) who again likes to work with dominant female personalities - Terminator, Aliens something that I have noted and am a fan of.
The problem with Captain Marvel is not the character and NOT her power levels. Captain Marvel (well Danvers) became Binary (major power upgrade) in X-men when they were battling the Brood. She single-handedly saved the X-men butts and freed the Acanti - see https://comicvine.gamespot.com/the-uncanny-x-men-166-live-free-or-die/4000-22882/ and fans approved of all of this.
Also in particular..
Nonsense. The Ancient One in the same movie was more powerful than Strange. Did you see numerous (or even any) complaints about her being a woman on here? Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful Avengers. Did you see anyone complaining about her feats in Infinity War? Nope. The movie in-joke was "why was she up there all this time" i.e. "she is so powerful she could have a major effect on this battle". Did you see any complaints about her? Nope. Why? Because her character is reasonably comic accurate and the actress fits the role. Scarlet Witch stood up to Thanos' assault one-on-one better than any other character and actually momentarily forced him back. Complaint count: zero.

Sure there are misogynists around BUT to claim that objections (the bulk of them) are down to her gender is misplaced.
CM is Marvel's first real misstep (since right at the start when they were finding their footing with the Hulk).
Really? Alright then. Easy money
