Nick Fury and not calling Captain Marvel in the avengers

We don't know if he did page her or not, for one thing. He could've paged her and she was busy helping on worlds without Avengers.

We don't know what kind of contact or communication he's had with her since he met her. I doubt she keeps him abreast of all her movements, but he might know generally where she is and how long it takes her to get from their to Earth. If she has Light Speed could still take a long time to get to Earth. Hell even using jump points it was going to take months to get from Skaar to Nova Prime according to Valkyrie in Ragnarok without taking the dangerous Devils Anus jump point. So he may have known she couldn't get there on time so no need to page.

Even if she could get there in time, we know he wanted to put the power of earth's defense with people, and he knew that the world governments needed a push. He could've been holding on to the last second before calling her. It could be as simple as that. If they lost NYC he would call her. Some military/intelligence leaders are cold like that. The people hurt/killed in NY is like the pain you have setting a bone. It's anguishing and painful but ultimately necessary to fix the problem. 

The range seems the most likely answer. As was mentioned above the signal only works within a certain amount of galaxies.

So Nick Fury could have tried before and she could have just been too far out of that range at the time.

It'll most likely be explained in the movie.

1. The Avengers were handling the Chitauri fine. Why would Fury need to call CM?

2. It obviously takes some time for Carol to travel back to Earth. If Fury called her then she'd still only arrive AFTERthe fight was done.

3. This question has been asked many times and have been answered many times. Why are you posting this again? Lately your posts have been very troll-like.

4. If Carol tried to take on the Chitauri singlehandedly there's no guarantee she'll stop them. It definitely won't be easy and many many more lives will be lost.

And Carol wouldn't know how to close the portal either. She'd try to manually fight off each and every chitauri while more and more kept coming out of the portal, resulting in way more deaths. Fact remains that the Avengers were handling the situation and would have closed that portal sooner had there not been an inbound missile. So again, why would Fury call Carol when the Avengers were handling it?



No she wouldn't. It takes light over 5 hrs to travel from the sun to Pluto... and I'm pretty sure Carol traveled further away than just within our solar system. So it would take her hours, perhaps days or even weeks before she arrives on Earth. From what we can tell of the Endgame clips and CM after credits, it took quite some time for her to arrive on Earth, with the Avengers already back in the base, properly showered and looking refreshed. Heck, Cap even had time to shave already. So yeah, fight would have been long over by the time she arrived.



Yeah... she destroys one ship and around a dozen drones. That's nothing compared to the numbers of Chitauri that attacked NY. Plus we see that CM can actually get hurt and knocked around by the laser fire from the drones. How's she going to fare when a hundred Chitauri gliders open fire on her? Fact is, Carol has never been tested against a truly powerful opponent. Easily taking on a few drones doesn't mean she can take on the entire Chitauri fleet.

Besides, Thor was able to take out 2 leviathans and about half a dozen gliders with just a single hit. 

Truth be told if the writers had allowed Thor to fight to his full potential in NY, he'd have been way more effective against the Chitauri than Carol would because he has better AOE and multiple-target attacks. If manually obliterating each Chitauri was the goal, Thor would be able to do so faster than CM could. But then, it would still take them time to do so, longer than what the battle ended up as... and so more casualties again.



And as I mentioned, taking out 1 ship and a dozen drones is nowhere near close to the number of the Chitauri fleet. Gliders and even leviathans would still be able to sneak past her onto Earth... and are you saying she's going to ignore those ships, allowing them to terrorize NY while she flies around in space? Don't think that's gonna happen.


In the end, your premise that CM can do a better job is completely baseless. All the reasons you came up with are easily dismissed by a bit of common sense. Heck, the fact alone that she'll take at least multiple hours to get to Earth already shuts down your argument.

Light speed really isn't as fast as you make it out to be when it comes to interstellar travel. She could be several galaxies away and not in range of the signal, assuming he sent it. Even if she was in range of the signal, the entire battle would have been over by the time she arrived. The events in the Avengers took place over a couple of days at most. Looking at the after credit scene from Captain Marvel, the signal from the pager has been sending continuously for quite some time (a few weeks) before she finally arrived. Personally, I don't think he sent the signal. He formed the Avengers so that he wouldn't have to. He was confident that they could hold the line, especially with Thor (equal in power to Captain Marvel) on their side.

Or just accept the fact that at the time the first Avengers film was released, they had no plans yet for Captain Marvel nor the pager and it's a minor continuity issue and they did their best to rectify it. Most people can suspend their disbelief when it comes to things like this, but people like you have to over-analyze and make big issues out of little things for some reason. Regardless, it's no where near the continuity nightmare that is (was) the Fox-Men films.

At the speed of light it would take 4.5 years to get to our nearest star Proxima Centauri. . (other than the sun). And I don't think she was going there. So the only way she could get to places fast enough would be those spacial jumps/wormholes. We don't know enough about where they are to determine if it would take minutes from where she was, days or weeks. 

Yes to her time would dilate. So the 2.5 million years wouldn't seem like that long to her, but it would still take her 2.5 million years. She wouldn't age but if she relied completely on light speed to go from Milky Way to Andromedia 2.5 million years would pass for us while she stayed young. The time dilation works on the object going the speed of light. Basically you fastforwarding time outside of you traveling. 

Technically speaking unless the pager uses the same jump points to send signals if she were in Andromeda galaxy and the pager uses radio waves (a wave length of light thus it travels at the speed of light) it would take 2.5 million years for the signal to reach Andromeda.
