There is some confusion about why Kamala continues to wear the bangle , however , as she does n’t actually need it to get at her power . Ms. Marvel ’s hard - light powerscome from within her own organic structure , meaning the Quantum Band serves no intent away from unlocking these natural endowment , so the fact that she still wears it inThe Marvelsis confusing , particularly since she practically delivers it to the villainous Dar - Benn .

The SABER Space Station was first mentioned inSecret Invasion , butThe Marvelsprovides an in - astuteness feeling into the new organization . Standing for Strategic Aerospace Biophysics and Exolinguistic Response , SABER is a defense system put in lieu to protect Earth ’s residents following the Blip , and is surely a top hole-and-corner operation that is n’t plebeian knowledge . Even so , Nick Fury had no qualms about allow three civilian , Muneeba , Yusuf and Aamir Khan , Kamala Khan ’s crime syndicate , aboard inThe Marvels . There is no way of life the Khan family would have been tolerate onto the SABER Space Station , so this made very little sense .

While this allowedThe Marvels’post - mention sceneto ride the MCU ’s ten - Men introduction , it did n’t in reality make any sense , asMonica Rambeau never explain why she needed to be on the other side of the break to fix it . certainly it would have made more sense to fix the pickle in reality from her side , allowing her to rest safely in her own universe , but for reasons unknown , this was n’t the lawsuit .
The Marvels’post - credits aspect consider Monica Rambeau stir up up in another reality inhabit by a variant of her female parent , Lashana Lynch ’s Maria Rambeau , who is the superhero Binary , and ten - Men member Hank McCoy , a.k.a . Beast , with Kelsey Grammer reprise the role from Fox’sX - Menfranchise .
5Shouldn’t G’iah Have Been Entangled Too?
Emilia Clarke Debuted As The Super Skrull G’iah In Secret Invasion
early on on inThe Marvels , Carol Danvers , Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan find their abilities mat , meaning that they switch place every metre their powers are used simultaneously . The Marvelstried to explain why this bechance , suggesting that , because their ability are all light - base , they are in and of itself connect , but this creates another major point of mix-up . InSecret Invasion’sfinale , Emilia Clarke ’s G’iahwas enhanced with the DNA of several famed MCU character , including Captain Marvel , meaningshe should have also been entangled with Danvers , Rambeau and Khan , but she did n’t even receive a mention in the Phase 5 movie .
4Nick Fury’s Wife Isn’t Seen Or Mentioned At All
Varra Went To SABER With Nick Fury In Secret Invasion
Similarly to G’iah , Nick Fury ’s own wife , Priscilla , a.k.a . the Skrull Varra , who was portrayed by Charlayne Woodard inSecret Invasion , does n’t get seen or advert inThe Marvels . At the conclusion ofSecret Invasion , Fury and Varra put their differences apart and travel up to the SABER Space Station together , implying thatVarra should have appeared in SABER inThe Marvels , but she was noticeably drop . AfterSecret Invasion’spoor reception , which get wind it become one of the MCU ’s lowest - rated projection , it ’s no wonder Marvel Studios may be try out to ignore the series ' events , but this is still puzzling .

Captain Marvel Is One Of The MCU’s Most Powerful Characters
On several occasions inThe Marvels , Captain Marvel and Dar - Benn engage in manus - to - handwriting combat , which often sees Dar - Benn overpower the cosmic Avenger . This , in itself , is ridiculous , as Captain Marvel is one of theMCU ’s most overtake superheroeswho has demonstrated the power to ruin spaceships by flying through them , or the power to be unfazed by Thanos ' attacks , or even that to restart a sun inThe Marvels . Dar - Benn never should ’ve been capable to beat Captain Marvel in fight , as Danvers simply could have knocked her out with one blow , though this would n’t have made much of a movie .
2Dar-Benn’s Plan Doesn’t Add Up
Dar-Benn Didn’t Need Both Quantum Bands
While it ’s puzzling thatZawe Ashton ’s Dar - Bennwas able to best Captain Marvel , her intentions when going into battle were even less clear . Captain Marvel ’s destruction of the Supreme Intelligence had caused the Kree homeworld , Hala , to become inhospitable , so Dar - Benn ’s fight to protect her people made a huge amount of horse sense . However , she was complete her mission of draining other worlds of their resources with only one Quantum Band , so her desire to collect them both did n’t make sense . In fact , Dar - Benn was n’t secure enough to exert both Quantum Bands , so she was perhaps defeat by her own arrogance .
1Nick Fury Completely Ignores The Events Of Secret Invasion

Aside from G’iah and Varra being ousted , Samuel L. Jackson ’s Nick Furyhimself seems to whole cut the events ofSecret Invasion . The Marvelswas market as a continuation to the Phase 5 serial publication , so Fury should have been change by the traumatic outcome of Maria Hill ’s death , a dud in Moscow , the reveal of Rhodey being a Skrull , and his own married woman trying to shoot down him . However , inThe wonder , he was simply back to the same sure-enough Nick Fury . It ’s undecipherable whether the event ofSecret Invasionwill in reality have any impact on the hereafter of the MCU .
