They were to Earth what Striker is to teenage mutants. Religious nut jobs who kill and slaughter because they think God wants them to.
They were the clear bad guys and they were evil. They took joy in the suffering they were causing.
Take out the space suffocation scene and I'm totally fine with how that issue went down. Carol was happy she got what she felt were clear bad guys to fight for a change, she didn't become, like, Carnage or the Joker or something, gleefully cackling while mowing people down. She had a job to do that she could finally be sure was actually the right thing to do, and she let herself enjoy that.
The space scene WAS bad and took it too far, I can agree on that.
And even if I agreed with you on the issue in general it's still one issue out of what, fifty or so?
yeah I am gonna say that if you enjoy killing people then no matter who those people are or what they have done you are being a pretty hideous person
And aside from the space scene it didn't come across to me as enjoying killing, it came across to me as enjoying having a fight she could believe in %100.
But the peak of that scene was when she enjoyed killing that Skrull. The narrative build to that point, the rest of the scene was about establishing a basis for that to occur. The revelation that she enjoyed what she was doing came out at that very moment. It was a terrible individual scene but the wider issue was still about how it is okay to dehumanize your enemies and make their suffering and pain something that evokes nothing in you, or even invokes joy.
That, kind of sucks.

any sane definition of people includes Kree, Skrulls, Shi'Ar, Daxamites, Martians and every human-except-exotically-skin-toned comic book alien
"Dehumanized" may use the word human but that's only because in the real world humans are the only group that can really be classes as people. In the Marvel Universe people covers a much wider basis.

That was the worst of a series that otherwise mostly just committed the crime of being kind of dull while nothing of real import or interest happened
it was bad because it wasn't good, more than anything, it just had some moments that were actually bad and not really anything that rose about above alright

Have you read Claremont's Ms. Marvel run yet?
Yeah
it's not that good
Claremont did some great, revolutionary work with the X-Men but like every iconic writer not everything he touched was gold
I wish Carol had a large supporting cast, which I guess is what the current series is kind of building for her.
The funny thing is that a few of the supporting cast members in her current book (Tracy Burke, Frank Gianelli) were supporting cast in her original book back in the 70s that I don't think Brian Reed ever used for some reason.

DO YOU LIKE HURTING OTHER PEOPLE?
pretty hard to dehumanize aliens

Still don't see how one issue makes the other 50+ bad.

My sadistic tendencies arn't on trial here.
WHO IS LEAVING MESSAGES ON YOUR ANSWERING MACHINE?
Nightmarenny's evil clone.
I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up in the GotG movie.
