Then there are the people who, after watching the entirety of the captain marvel movie in a theater, ask "which one was captain marvel?"

Or during the movie that you're both seeing for the first time, "Why is that person doing/saying that?"

I don't fucking know! Why don't we watch and see what happens?!

My auntie is like this so every time we have a family get together watch a film absolutely everyone refuses to sit next to her.

To be fair I think she uses and is referred to as Carol during the entire film. In the sequel two characters use the name "Marvel", one "Ms" and one "Captain".

Of course it's still surprising that you could watch a whole film and not be clear. In the first film there a very clear main character, and you know what film you're watching, so that's simple enough. In the second film one of the main characters fangirls over the character named "Captain Marvel", so that's straightforward.
