I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm VERY pleased with what I have seen within these trailers so far. They are sprinkling Easter Eggs here and there like breadcrumbs to see who notices them, such as "Photon" written on the side of Maria Rambeau's fighter plane - mother of the heroine who becomes Captain Marvel II/Spectrum/Photon in the comics continuity, Monica Rambeau.
Sidebar note: To say that Black Twitter loves to praise and be all "holier than thou" when it comes to praising representation in these superhero films, I haven't seen not a single soul mention this in the passing weeks. As a black comic book nerd, that kinda irks me a bit, especially when we went through that whole period about a year ago leading up to the release of Black Panther's cinematic debut about everyone coming out of the woodworks about little to no representation for African-American/black superhero characters and we get a major one here in Captain Marvel's cinematic debut and not many of any people are talking about it. Monica Rambeau may not been a "major" character to many modern comic book fans, but she's been a staple figure in Marvel Comics' history for quite some time. I'm happy to see her get the exposure and recognition that she deserves with this cinematic debut.
Other things I've noticed in this trailer - Carol's iconic pet, a cat - that I won't spoil the details about. And there seems to be some nods to her solo comics', given the tone and nature of how they are shedding light on portions of her past on Earth and being experimented on by the Kree alien race. Of course, there's going to be coverage on her time as part of the Starforce - military force designated by the Kree Supreme Intelligence. We get our first look at the cinematic debut of the Skrulls here too. I'm not too crazy about how they look at first glance as I can't get the image of Piccolo from Dragon Ball: Evolution out of my head in comparison so I'm going to reserve judgment until the actual movie debuts in March.
