People who ardently defend these sorts of movies as if they're grand masterpieces in response to even the most benign constructive criticism seem to be getting worse. It was apparent there was a polarised divide between viewers of TLJ, but now if a film like that or Captain Marvel "gave me da feelz", any criticism of its stucture or its final result is to be met with scorn and anger. The online factions fighting over something as banal as pop culture seem to be more militant than they ever were before. What the hell happened? Given that much of the criticism toward CM is that the protagonist isn't all that well developed, her origin isn't all that compelling and her wider role in the series seems like a retcon, I don't know, do the militant feminist defenders demand different forms of storytelling that us blokes have been used to for decades? Do they just want expressions of empowerment for empowerment's sake at the expense of character development? And if you dare reference slasher movie "final girls" or revered female icons like Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor, the Twitter feminists reckon that a female character shouldn't need to be made to suffer like they did on-screen to achieve their icon status. Fucked if I know. These people all seem to have an answer for everything. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 After seeing all the marketing surrounding the film - statements from the actors about how progressive it is and how it's meant to be empowering for women, and then watching the film, I didn't come away with any of those sentiments. Those messages need to be straightened out during the writing process which is this films greatest detriment, not Brie Larson's acting. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at how jumbled this film was - it has six writers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On semi-related news, there's a poster of Endgame released. Tony's all over it. I hope he'd be front-and-center to the narrative of the film, as he indeed was in all Avengers films hitherto.
