Captain Marvel: What Does The Ending Really Mean?

7. The Kree... Aren't Really Going To Do Much

The Kree are the weakest part of the film. Whereas the Skrulls get some nice (and unexpected) development, the Kree then become the bad guys who were using Captain Marvel and want to be the ones to rule the galaxy.

By the end, though, they've all been defeated by Captain Marvel: in what's basically a spaceship dogfight, but with Captain Marvel going it alone, she decimates the missiles fired by Ronan the Accuser and sends him fleeing. She then has a showdown with her mentor Yon-Rogg, who yet again criticises her inability to control her emotions, and demands he fight her hand-to-hand rather than using her superpowers... at which point she blasts him, Raiders of the Lost Ark style.

She sends Yon-Rogg back to Hala with a warning for the Supreme Intelligence, and that's about that for the Kree. Ronan does make a big promise that they'll come back. He says: "We’ll be back for the weapon," and, when questioned what he means, replies: "The woman.'

That's all well and good but, well, we know he's not really going to succeed: he turns up in Guardians of the Galaxy as an even more radical Kree, but his enemies this time are the Xandarians. The remaining Kree may go after Captain Marvel and the Skrulls again, but since Ronan ends up there and Captain Marvel is going to be in Endgame, having been in space helping the Skrulls since then, it's safe to say any attempt would surely fail. Still, it is feasible that the next Captain Marvel could feature Ronan for a THIRD movie, and maybe in that one he'll actually get to do something worthwhile.
