      Yeah, and it was also a dog whistle to conservatives to feel under represented and “oppressed” by the presence of a non white person as a superhero.

      The people you’re talking about can easily clarify it by saying “I don’t like it, but I’m happy to see more women and people of color in these roles”. Bish bash bosh, not a racist.

          Okay, but that was you. There were thousands more broskis online that hated it simply because it reminded them that minorities exist.

            Sure. But you can tell what they are because they say things like “the agenda” and “forced diversity,” or spend time getting mad that a Marvel series had the nerve to be made for young people.

          I didn’t go see it because I’m burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.

                What? How do you have a conversation with people without explaining your thoughts? In my head your conversations go like this lol

                Person: Hey Ilovethebomb, you see the new marvel movie.

                You: Yeah, I didn’t like it.

                Person: Really, why not?

                You: I don’t need a reason why.

                So again, is that really how you talk to people. It can’t be right?

                    I can only assume from your inability to answer my question that the answer is yes, you really do talk to people like that. What a strange way to go through life. Why join a social media network just to be antisocial lol.

      Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?

        The problem comes when you dislike these not because there was a female lead but because the writing was shit.

        But because woman lead men sexist for no like.

        Though tbf it really comes down to most writers not knowing how to write female leads.

          It’s a bigger problem that barely has to do with the specific shows or movies. Marvel Studios has mostly been coasting since Endgame. It also didn’t prioritize female led properties, so they’re all coming out in this coasting period. This means they might be on average not as good. It’s not directly because they’re female led, but it is sort of indirectly because of that.

        This comes off as you being one of the people who rejects criticism

        This isn’t a discussion of the media, it’s about people rejecting criticism

        The issue is when it’s used to silence criticism about the many other issues with the film.
