To me, a key to this story is taking an idea I think I remember seeing/reading from even the movie's developers itself: Terminator 2: Judgement Day, in that a child's connection with an emotionless figure leads to that figure's perspective altering. For that, here are the ideas that God, if He wills, has blessed me with:

There's different factions of skrulls, some terrorist extremist types, other more heroic goal oriented freedom fighter types.

The kree society is still a pursuit of emotionless perspectives.

Ronan is the main physical villain. Ronan the Accuser is someone whose honed himself to kree military perfection with the promise of inflicting revenge on the Zandarians (for the death of his dad and granddad), a promise the Kree Council has made they will give him, when they have control of what they call the weapon, that the skrulls have, which is the power stone. Ronan really has no interest in the skrulls, that kree council has designated all as a threat to their safety by the nature of their shape-shifting powers. He even has some troubles about what kree council does, though deems it necessary to get what he's been promised. His loyal second in command, Korath, assists him in all things.

The overall villains are the kree council that run the kree society, using their Supreme Intelligence AI which they use the mind stone to run, something encased in a crystallized outer shell, and no one but the kree council knows it's an infinity stone.

There's a war inflicted on some of the skrulls by the kree council, in pursuit of the power stone, which they've kept from their people, even their soldiers like Ronan. The power stone was on the skrull planet.

The stones are developed to have a sort of symbiosis and effect on eachother, that each one can react and influence the other.

Carol Danvers was used to pilot an experimental aircraft made out of the energy of the space stone. At the same time, across space, a battle arose between the heroic skrulls (who were being helped by Mar-Vell, a heroic kree warrior who turned on the kree council after discovering their real intentions) and Star Force, a kree task force led by Ronan. During this battle, the power stone effects the energy of the space stone and it opens a portal which sucks Carol through, the same time as the power stone was, them essentially switching places, the space stone and power stone energies bathing her at the exact same moment as she was transported through a rift in space altered her DNA, and nearly killed her. But Mar-Vell rescued her by giving her his blood, it healing her and preventing her body from being burned up nearly immediately by the energies. Mar-Vell was killed by Ronan. Ronan then took Carol, seeing her as useful for potentially finding the power stone. Carol suffered from amnesia due to the accident and the kree council used this to their advantage to manipulate her and seek to indoctrinate her, using her as a weapon, and enforcing the emotional suppression perception they operate under, both as ways to try and prod her mind and also discover where the power stone is.

Carol came from an emotionally abusive household, where her and younger her brother were coerced and emotionally damaged by their dad, who pushed a toxic false mindset against feelings of caring for others, seeing those things as weakness. Carol's brother died eventually and she ran away, guilt ridden because of her inability to protect him feeling responsible for his death, and spent the rest of her life running, always in pursuit of avoiding her feelings and the pain of her past, inadvertently adopting her dad's toxic mindset. Carol joined the military to keep pursuing such a mindset and became a pilot to emotionally avoid it. Her mindset ends up aligning with the kree perception of things.

The power stone crashed on earth and was found by a child Monica Rambeau. Some time later, the skrulls find it's location and Carol follows them, now brainwashed into thinking she's a kree soldier, the name Mar-Vell being her only memory of any name, it being given to her.

Carol protects the child Monica in pursuit of achieving the goal of getting what the skrulls are after.

SHIELD gets involved, as does Nick Fury, in pursuit of protecting Monica, and finds common ground with Carol, as soldiers, Fury trusting her.

Over the course of the movie, Carol connects with Monica, her subconsciously reminding her of her brother. Throughout the movie she begins to question the kree's indoctrination, after discovering the kree want Monica, so they can force her to give them the location of the power stone, and discovers that the kree are villains, facing the guilt that she was used to murder skrulls under their lies, thinking that the kree erased her memories.

Monica and Nick Fury are captured by the extremist sect of the skrulls. And Carol is captured by Star Force. When Carol reveals that she knows what they did, Ronan reveals to her that nothing she is was forced on her, that her amnesia and emotional state were already the way it was and all they did was point her in a direction.

The kree council use the Supreme Intelligence to temporarily brainwash Carol, and force her to retrieve Monica for them, from the extremist skrulls sect. Carol does so. Meanwhile the skrulls have separated Monica and Nick Fury and Carol arrives to force Fury to tell her where Monica is. Fury trusts her at first, but then recognizes something's wrong and refuses. Carol tortures him for the info, burning his eye using her powers. Fury, despite the immense pain, still refuses.

The heroic skrulls sect seek to stop the extremist skrulls and attempt to rescue Monica, this leading Carol to them. Monica is nearly killed in the crossfire, her being hit with a wave of energy from the engine of a ship.

Seeing Monica nearly die triggers Carol's memories of her brother dying and her powers flare up at the emotion of remembering that loss, the temporary brainwashing being burned out by this memory retrieval.

Carol realizes that her emotions are what drive her powers and the only way to save Monica is to accept her emotions and allow herself to remember and embrace the pain of her past, coming to the understanding that it makes her stronger to use the pain of her past to do the right thing. She accepts all of it, regains her memories, embraces her emotions, and gains the full potential and control of her powers, defeating terrorist skrulls, Ronan and Star Force, rescuing Monica, and hiding the power stone on a planet, in a vault, beneath an acidic ocean, thinking that the safest place for it is a place where no one can get to it.

It is revealed that due to Monica's prolonged irradiation by the chrysallis that holds the power stone, her body has become malleable to energy absorption, and that's how she survived the engine energy hitting her.

Ronan is betrayed by the kree council and hearing they've begun peace talks with Xandar, in the wake of their defeat by Carol, Ronan snaps, murders their leader and steals the chrysalis that encases the mind stone, still not knowing what it is. He offers it to Thanos as a trade, knowing he collects ancient objects, in exchange for Thanos fixing up his damaged soldiers with cybernetic enhancements. Thanos, knowing what the chrysalis holds, agrees and takes it.

The movie can conclude differently, maybe Carol still goes out into space to help the heroic skrulls as a way to make up for what she feels responsible for doing to them, but, for the most part, here, that's where this version ends.

Please review and tell me what you think!
