I think I know why that is. Itā€™s because Wonder Woman is more fantasy-esque and Captain Marvel is a more harsh reality. 
Let me explain, Wonder Woman grew up in a paradise without men or sexism and just now entered the world of man and just now experienced sexism. Carol grew up in the world of man and grew up within this system. That and Wonder Woman takes place further in the past, making it easier to think ā€œwow, back then was awful but weā€™re way better nowā€ while several comic fans grew up in the 90ā€™s, making it feel not that long ago. 
While I love both films, I do feel like Captain Marvel took more risks than Wonder Woman in this sense and I applaud it for that.

Miss me with that nonsense. The Carol we see at the start of the film only remembers her life on a planet where men and women were equally trained combatants and as far as we can tell have the respect of their male peers. Yes she was technically born on earth but until the latter half of the film she doesnā€™t remember that part. Her personality is shaped by the world that she remembers. And how is it ā€œtaking risksā€ to have a character thatā€™s almost completely invulnerable and whose only ā€œflawā€ is not realizing how awesome she actually is, even though she was already practically all powerful? How is it taking risks to have a character who basically never learns or grows and is just already a badass who dispatches all enemies with little to no difficulty? 
Diana had to face defeat and the possibility that her simplistic belief in justice and the existence of war need to be re-examined. She had to work with others and listen to wisdom and advice in order to make informed decisions. She was powerful, but not invulnerable. She was relatable and likable. She didnā€™t go around being cold and rude to people for no damn reason and ooze pretension with every word she spoke.

Y'all really canā€™t distinguish fiction from reality huh? I call bullshit on ā€œwOrLd oF mEnā€ bullshit because CMā€™s writing was fucking trash. Literally every single fucking man she met besides Nick Fury and the Skrull guy was a complete misogynistic caricature, to the point that her FUCKING DADā€™S first reaction to her getting in a go-cart accident was not desperate fear/concern for his only daughter, but toā€¦immediately belittle her? No babe thatā€™s not reality, thatā€™s shit ass writers who have no sense of nuance and no sense of developing villains because ā€œUHHHHH HERO IS WOMAN AND MAN HATE WOMAN SO ALL MEN BADā€.Take another example, the boot camp scene where apparently like 8 white guys have nothing to do except stand around and taunt Carol? Except in real life boot camp no one has fucking time to stand around, your ass is constantly being drilled and harassed by your drill instructor, and all of the recruits are being shaped into a unit to WORK TOGETHER, with everyone being treated equally harshly. (Also, Iā€™m supposed to believe that boot camp back in the 80ā€™s/90ā€™s was unisex?) If it was just Carol training on her own, that again begs the question of why an entire group of guys was just staring at her while she was training instead of I donā€™t knowā€¦ doing their own training? Relaxing on base during what little leisure time they had? But those questions donā€™t matter because the writers didnā€™t give a damn about reality. They only gave a fuck about pushing their bullshit man hating agenda, strawmanning all men, and creating a situation where Carol was nothing but a poor innocent victim of evil cruel men. They literally only existed to victimize Carol and make all of her behavior seem acceptable because ā€œthey were mean to her first, so if she decides to nearly break a manā€™s hand off and steal his motorcycle later, itā€™s okay!ā€ Thatā€™s not fucking realism, thatā€™s hack writing.Captain Marvel is bad, sheā€™s not even remarkable by the standards of female characters, and quite frankly itā€™s insulting that you ignore and downplay other, far more iconic and well-written female heroes just because Carol plays to your politics.
@waveringwannabevalkyrie ā€œworld of manā€ is a term used in the Wonder Woman comics several times to describe the world outside of themiscrya. Thatā€™s why I used it here. I would go over how abusive men do exist, just like abusive women do and how Iā€™ve had my own experiences with an abusive father but from your tone, I think if I explain anymore you would make fun of me or something with the whole ā€œaw you have daddy issues and thatā€™s why you like the movie lolā€. Iā€™m so hope youā€™re not that cruel but knowing the internet, you cannot be safe. I just hope youā€™re not like those kind of people that I met and are willing to at least understand that just because you donā€™t experience something doesnā€™t mean itā€™s the same for everyone else.@libertarirynn as someone whoā€™s seen the movie, I feel like the struggle was more than just ā€œnot knowing how awesome she was.ā€ She was being lied to about her entire life for six years and we even see her have a breakdown upon realizing this. We see her sobbing out in a field over finding all this out. The idea of finally being free from the control of others, whether male or female (people seem to forget that minn-erva was also a villain in the movie) in both a physical and emotional sense. Despite Carol having her memories wiped in the beginning, the audience gets flashes of the sexism she faced growing up. While I love both films, I will say that captain marvel spoke to me more than Wonder Woman because of my own personal experiences and if it didnā€™t do the same for you guys, thatā€™s fine. I just feel that the movie gets misrepresented or misinterpreted a lot and that it is unfair. It sucks that Wonder Woman is used to bash captain marvel despite the different approaches the movies take towards womenā€™s issues. In fact, that behavior has caused me to like Wonder Woman less and less and I really donā€™t want that to happen. Not only do I start to see the flaws in the film being put on a pedestal, I become more defensive of the one thatā€™s being misrepresented. I still love the Wonder Woman movie but the internet makes it hard to sometimes.I guess what Iā€™m saying isā€¦I wish fans wouldnā€™t use one to bash the other. I honestly wasnā€™t trying to bash Wonder Woman or use captain marvel to do so in my last reply.  I was just explaining how one is more successful since it tried to be more palatable while the other took more risks in being a feminist film. I hope you both can see that I am not looking for a fight and am just explaining myself. I hope this helped you understand where Iā€™m coming from and that instead of arguing or throwing insults like what usually happens online, this can be handled amicably.

Both are good movies.People who hate them or use one to trash the other are secist idiots. End of story

Or maybe they just have a different opinion and maybe you need to learn how to spell ā€œsexistā€ before calling anyone else an idiot.
