    How does the physics supposed to work In that scene? A flying super human with super human strength stopping a smallish ship mid air and flinging it?

      Ya, captain marvel flies into and then out of a star at the end of the movie. Her stopping something dead in its tracks is peanuts compared to that.

      Edit, I actually watched the clip this time, she gets knocked back a little bit catching the ship. There is nothing silly here at all.

      Stopping suddenly like that would have destroyed the ship, it would have crumpled around her.

        Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years

          When Supes did that it took effort, the plane would still push him backwards. It wasn’t an instant stop of momentum and flip.

            I think you should watch it again. It pushes her back too.

        Same physics should apply to Louis Lane falling from a helicopter and superman catching her from below right?

          You’d think, right?

          I liked how Alan Moore dealt with it in Miracleman:
