Loved it. Had some minor qualms, but overall I thought it was great.
I'll always think you guys griping about the girl power stuff must be sad, lonely men or something. A bunch of girls in my theater started cheering at that part. Why's that a bad thing? |

What's next? We going to have separate parts in each Marvel movie to appreciate how awesome gay superheroes, black superheroes, trans superheroes, asian superheroes, old superheroes, fat superheroes and disabled superheroes are? It's just mindless pandering. It doesn't add anything to the movie. The Ghostbusters movie was unnecessary, shit like that, even for 10 seconds, is unnecessary. Just have your female characters be good characters. Let them stand alone on that merit. Leia did. Ripley did. Sarah Connor did. Trinity did. Wonder Woman did. They don't have to go LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! at every opportunity.

And it wasn't all guys. It was EVERYBODY. It wasn't all guys in every other frickin' shot. They had *gasp* male AND female characters in multiple shots multiple times! The thought of such a thing! Cramming "see! women can be superheroes TOO!" down our throats to satisfy political agendas is reeruned because that point was made decades ago.

It's just stupid, and I see why people don't like it. Women have their own shit. Romantic comedies, flowery period dramas, tv shows where the cast is ALL WOMEN, an entire ****ing cable channel literally named "television for women." They don't need to parade into movies that have men as the target demographic and take ****ing group selfies at the climactic moment of the movie. Leave that shit for instagram and facebook. Besides, Iron Man proved who the weaker sex was.

This is going to become one of the highest grossing movies of all time specifically because they figured out how to get women to see and like comic movies despite centuries of social programming. It's not the phenomenon it is without that. What you guys who react so poorly to this need to figure out is why you feel so threatened. It's not like they have or will ever stop catering to you as a fan, too. They want your money just as much as they want everybody else's. And if they do continue to develop female characters and even - gasp - focus on some of them or even groups of them, they're gonna try and find ways to get our male asses into seats, too. And part of the reason there's so much focus on women is because there's been so little in the past. Eventually there will be enough female producers and directors and writers and characters that giving women that kind of responsibility, like we've seen with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, won't be new or novel or groundbreaking, and eventually we'll just have writers and directors and actors, without gender tags, and the focus can be on making good movies with the best people. Like it should be. Rant over. |

That doesn't mean they need a LOOK AT ME! moment that has nothing to do with the plot. Hamfisted garbage. And none of this was groundbreaking. Alien was over 30 years ago.

- Cap lifting Mjolnir - "Avengers Assemble" - Jarvis - Time travel stuff just happens to be to two of the more iconic scenes in the MCU (the circle in the battle in NYC and Starlord dancing to himself at the beginning of GOTG) - Thor playing Fortnite I'm sure I could go on if I thought about it. The point is that these movies aren't 100% serious. They're meant to have a good story, lots of action, and a few things thrown in that are just for fun and because fans like them. You don't like Girl Power, and that's OK, but acting it was this huge outlier is just kind of silly. |

I hated the idea if the new Ghostbusters, thus is no where near that. I agree if someone freaks about this they have some deeper incel problems they need to look at. |
