I still think Asgard is a stand in for the USA and more generally white colonisation. Where do you think all this wealth came from? Maybe some of it was fairly obtained, but most of it was gained by stealing land through genocide.
Captain Marvel's simplest twist to Carol Danvers' origin story is its smartest choice. (Fair warning: it's a Gizmodo article, so don't know how it will turn out for others, but Gizmodo sites tend to hate me...)
Also, reading through a brief history of Agents of SHIELD and it appears that they've gone down a completely different trouser leg of time. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
It makes my head hurt just reading all this.
