Depends on if you like Nickelback or not. I think this needs a thread of its own.

My perception is that Goose is a much more prominent character than we realized, so I don't think it's just an "OMG IT'S A CAT!!" thing. We'll see.
As for the rest of the "feminist" crap, it's just another example of people being too caught up in political BS to me. While I personally would prefer she shut her trap, I'm not going to let that interfere with my enjoyment of the movie. I'm not a fan of Tyreek punching his girlfriend, but I still enjoy his play on the field. This is just a (much more mild) version of that. |

Dude's politics are annoying as hell but he's a respected actor playing a slobbering monster. Any 'anchor' character has been portrayed by someone who is at least a solid actor. Evans was fantastic in Snowpiercer, Hemsworth has actually shown solid chops outside of the MCU, Cumberbatch, Johansson, Renner, Boseman, Saldana; even less 'refined' actors like Rudd, Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson have held their own outside of the MCU. Even the secondary characters tend to be playing down; Michael Douglas, Glenn Close, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Hopkins, Idris Elba, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Mads Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ojiofer, Rachel Adams, Kurt Russell, Michael Keaton, Kate Blanchett, Michael B. Jordan, Angela Basset, Forest Whitaker, Lawrence Fishburn, etc, etc.... If they have a Drax the Destroyer individual property helmed by Dave Bautista the idea may have some merit. But every actor that has been a primary player in the MCU of late has had solid acting chops at the very worst. I don't know what makes anyone think that these $100 million properties are just throwaway items for these production groups these days. No, they're not going to dilute their product by just throwing a bunch of B-Listers at it and pretending like these are Sci-Fi Originals going direct to cable. It took a ton of effort (and raw dumb luck) to get these movies considered along the lines of 'serious' fare and they aren't going to send some wooden blockhead like Gina Carano out there to lead their major 'female empowerment' property. There's a threshold level of acting skills that they expect, especially from their primary characters, and Gina doesn't get there.

I think you discount the impact that bad acting can have on a series. See the DC universe until recently.
