While many couldn’t help but point out how the first movie lacked any character development in Carol Danvers, the second movie pointed fingers at Larson’s acting skills which at times lacked connectivity to its character.

All these factors led the movie to hit rock bottom with the movie grossing$206 million worldwideagainst a gross production budget of $274.8 million. It also became one of the lowest-grossing MCU movies, that was enough of a hint for Marvel to stop making unnecessary sequels and rather focus on quality.
