I don't think I'm misconstruing anything. The poster said something like the Top Gun flight suit minus the patches.
Kris Anka was inspired by the Warbird look with a more armored/padded look and pouches. It had nothing to do with the MCU. Kris Anka said so himself:
Well, you clearly don't know the character all that well. Carol's alien "Kree Warrior" side of her has been a part of her character since, well ever. It's part of her freaking origin.
So no, this "oh she should have some wacky sci-fi gizmo costume because she's half-alien and that's more important" doesn't fit her character really.
So, who is using hyperbole now? At least my idea requires a little bit of imagination and effort on my part. Whether you like it or not, Carol Danvers is a cosmic superhero and her costume should reflect that. In fact, it was her military background that was largely ignored. Carol's still pretty recent change to Captain Marvel gave a much larger focus to her military background, and this is cool. This makes the possibility of Carol being seen a leader all the more believable. The idea of the costume being tied to her Kree DNA is sound. It can be used as a sci-fi explanation of her molecular manipulation ability in the comics.
And flight suits are for puny pathetic humans who need special suits to equalize the blood flow in their body so they don't pass out. Carol's superhuman physiology would have no need for such a thing. What Carol would need is a costume that's just as durable as she is. In other words, she needs something that won't burn up on re-entry, incinerate as Carol absorbs an explosion, or tears as a building falls on top of her. Carol does plenty of flying in space, so her costume should be able to hold up in space. There are a few limited options:
1. T'Challa gives Carol a vibranium suit
2. Tony Stark creates an advanced space suit for Carol
3. It's an advanced Kree space/battle suit
The first two options could work, but it would be much better if Carol's suit was something she could call her own. The third option is the best and fits the characters origins.
You know it's funny. When Kevin Feige announced Captain Marvel, he said absolutely NOTHING about Carol's military background, but said she was a Earthbound hero whose powers and adventures take place in the COSMIC realm. Why was this? Because that makes her much more unique since we already have Avengers with a military background(Cap, Falcon, and War Machine). Not to mention, they have her movie snap dab in the middle of two cosmic based Avengers films. Do the math.
