The way I understood it... Legolas Send a noteboard - 15/03/2019 07:42:20 AM

the initial mission on that other planet is to extract their spy. When 'Veers' gets captured by the Skrulls in the process, the Kree's primary mission becomes recovering her, or neutralizing her if they can't get her back on their side. Plus eliminating Skrull agents whenever they encounter any, to prevent them from infiltrating and taking over more planets that could be used against the Kree.

Or if they wanted to use her energy as a weapon, what is the Watsonian reason for keeping it restrained with a chip and constantly trying to teach Carol self-mastery (the Doylist reason obviously being their allegory about people trying to suppress women)?

Evidently they did want to use her energy as a weapon, but since they had no way of knowing what precisely she'd be able to do with it, a cautious and slow approach to testing the weapon seems smart. I'm not sure the exact purpose of the chip was made very clear at any point, though, or if so I missed it.

Weren't they after that glowy cube thing in the lunch box? *NM* random thoughts - 21/03/2019 01:19:47 PM 189 Views

Not until they got there and found out it existed: the Kree didn't know that's what she used Cannoli - 21/03/2019 10:18:12 PM 377 Views

This is why I never never liked the whole galatic power thing Marvel did random thoughts - 02/04/2019 01:20:27 PM 416 Views

I didn't understand the part with the Skrull family. Narg - 22/03/2019 07:57:05 PM 379 Views

I think the writing was worse than that, even aerocontrols - 24/03/2019 04:52:52 AM 378 Views

Most MCU spaceships use a jump point FTL drive. They were trying to make one that could go anywhere. Dunstan - 25/03/2019 05:43:11 PM 383 Views

Did they say that in the movie or is that speculation by you? aerocontrols - 25/03/2019 06:06:02 PM 380 Views

More just a simple deduction. We've seen MCU FTL multiple times, and... Dunstan - 26/03/2019 05:09:41 AM 403 Views
