Sometimes that scene you want in the movie to 'do right' by a character just doesn't fit in the movie, because doing right by the character isn't the point of the movie.

I think going to P-Bandai shows everything?
Edit: Huh, I was there yesterday, and there was more shown, like the Barbatos Recirculation version. Maybe they weren't supposed to be shown yet.
It's also not a real good look what with the MCU's history with female characters up to that point, or their pandering "the women of Marvel" shot during the end game fight (that patently did NOT have BW in it since she was.. you know, dead, despite her being the first real female superhero in the MCU, but also the leader when things REALLY went to hell)
I get what you are saying, but I think it could have been handled a lot better.
Pretty sure that's an Akira reference.
The choice to commission new songs instead of simply licensing old songs was a masterstroke on Remedy's part.
And don't even get me started on the Old Gods of Asgard songs.
There are others, but they're a bit spoilery so I'll hold off for now.

Thanos and his army literally stopped and waited for all the heroes to come through all the portals in a near ceremonial parade march
Captain Marvel 1v1'd a warship
Cap + Mjolnir!!!
Like, it's not that I disagree with the characterization of that shot as pandering - I just feel like it's implying that was the only part of that scene that was pandering, and that pandering is bad, and I feel those implications are wrong
Plus the main plot of the movie was having the heroes revisit the series' greatest hits. It was basically a three hour victory lap, a well earned one (which is why trying to recreate those moments in later Marvel movies or heaven forbid in DCEU movies just doesn't work in the same way).
Cap with Mjolnir was set up back in AoU, and they go out of their way to show where everyone comes from and how during the Avengers Assemble scene.
Most of those other moments were fanservice. This almost exclusively felt like "Hey, look, we're not sexist anymore!" and like... way to go ahead and not prove your point? Captain Marvel 1v1ing the ship had NOTHING to do with her being a woman, it's just THE most badass character entering the field. Those other things were fanservice, not pandering. It was doubly awkward because you have basically Superman getting "help" from the weak characters. The fact that Capt Marvel didn't just like, "peace, this thing is going into the sun" was silly, but made for drama.
Maybe you were looking at this list of gundam mobile base stuff?

I feel like they should’ve been a little more blatant with it.
Spider-Man’s line should’ve been “I don’t know how you’re going to get through all that alone.”
Then the Women of Marvel all drop down and say Don’t worry. She’s not alone.”

That’s right, Whiplash.
That sequence could absolutely have worked in a way that looked great and felt completely organic and they didn't even attempt it, from what I can tell. First up is having Carol distracted by a big enemy (like, I dunno, Thanos) and she's the one holding him back from getting the gauntlet (when she gets it from Parker would be a great point to have Thanos come after her, which is when she footballs it the next standing hero in reach). She literally can't break away because she is it, the only person at the moment who can actual pin down Thanos so she can't be distracted by the rest of his army. From there she hands it off to what is coincidentally a sequence of female heroes. No idiotic clumsy lineup, they're just in the fight doing what they need to keep the Gauntlet moving; every time one gets bogged down, another steps up for the handoff. They get the Gauntlet near the tunnel, Carol sees and forces Thanos back a bit to get some space, then she breaks away and rockets after the Gauntlet, grabs it, and punches it right through the last line of enemies. Then Thanos takes out the portal with his helicopter sword, the blowback catches Carol, and Thanos able to close the distance in the aftermath and get to the Gauntlet. From there we're largely back to how the rest of the movie actually played out.
You remember how the first Avengers film does the sequence of connecting all the heroes together by teaming them up as they move around the battle? That was a really great action sequence in that it gave everybody a chance to shine a bit while still showing their cooperation and not happening in some weird isolated pocket dimension of the real fight. Basically just do that but without the damned hero posing at any point. We already had the hero lineup with everybody coming out of the portals, a whole second mid-battle lineup was ridiculously absurd. This is a fucking fight for the fate of the universe, nobody has time to do a dumb group shot for the camera.
Then you've got your sequence with the female characters getting focused screentime in an interesting way and in a way that reflects prior Avengers films, but it also fits right into the flow of the fight and energy of the moment.
The whole "Girls Get it Done!" thing was at least partially a response to that MCU scene in particular.
Per The Hollywood Reporter:https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/superheroes-are-inherently-maga-the-boys-boss-on-his-zeitgeisty-hit-4077486/
I agree that it was really poorly executed and felt contrived as hell. The message was great, but the scene itself was not.
Tell him Thanos hurt his bord. Infinity War would have been two minutes long.
That's how I felt about the (less awkward) female team up in Infinity War. Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Okoye just happen to be there to take out Proxima, it wasn't nearly as forced.
It's a shame in my experience not many people get this far in the game because of the convoluted levelling system to hear this. At least FF9 gave it an interesting spin
