2 directors
Just so they can say a woman directed it

However they do seem like an odd choice for a superhero film (even though I thought Mississippi Grind was great).Methinks you inadvertently (or even knowingly) nailed just why they were picked. Captain Marvel in truth just happens to be a Super-Hero and the direction and story is really about Carol Danvers. It is a personal story of a character much like Captain America:The First Avenger is about Steve Rogers and Black Panther is about T'Challa.
The strength of the MCU is that it really lacks "Secret Identities" and the humanness of the characters are what matter. share

For some people (I am not one of them) it took Taika Watiti to De-God Thor to make him more relatable for some. I mean in Avengers:Endgame the Russos have Thor a completely broken depression ridden person.
I for one always liked Thor as a God or Demi-God with Odin and of course the writers having him deal with human problems. They didn't need to totally deconstruct him to make him uber-relatable.
Carol Danvers is completely disconnected from who she is unknowingly programmed to be a Kree; and she has to find herself, her true-self in order to realize her potential. Captain Marvel is a small intimate film about a person of a particular gender struggling to reclaim self-awareness.
Indie type films bore a lot of people and are not very thrilling for some. Not enough punchy-punchy.

It was defiantly inadvertently but yes, that makes sense too.

They do seem like an odd choice BUT so was Kenneth Branagh (Thor), Peyton Reed (Ant-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp), Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarock).
The MCU has a little history of picking directors that do not seem to fit the super hero genre
