A.k.a. "Kreeform."
At the end of Captain Marvel, Carol sends Yon-Rogg back to Hala with a message that she's coming to end the war and, by implication, Kree dominion, at least in its most ruthlessly imperialistic forms. And by the time of Guardians of the Galaxy, Ronan the Accuser is at least a slightly rogue figure, one who can't be officially sanctioned by his government--but who isn't being strongly denied, either. And people on Hala were still protesting the treaty with the Xandar.
The gap in the history of Hala and the Kree is really intriguing. What's been happening there since Carol sent back her message? How much has Kree society changed (or not changed) in the intervening years? What internal or external changes would it take to produce a Kree Empire, or a Hala, less dependent on militaristic conquering of other worlds and cultures?
And how much time has Carol spent there between Captain Marvel and the post-credits scene in Infinity War? Has Yon-Rogg played a role in any cultural shifts, and if so, how? Do you take the reference to a "Kree Emperor" in Guardians of the Galaxy to mean canonical replacement of the Supreme Intelligence, or do you take a Doylist perspective and say the SI is still around and it's just a pre-CM inconsistency?
