Superheroes' backstories are littered with dead parents. So introducing Carol's Mom as alien only to kill her off doesn't really add anything novel, at least in my opinion.
That said, there's very little focus on dead Superhero moms in comics. That's a pretty sparse region. Lots of Dad focus. The only examples I can think of is (sometimes) Wonder Woman, and Supergirl (TV). So... I guess if we're going to go with an overdone trope at least we're doing it right?
