Who am I kidding, all the millennial and zoomer reactionary influencers will still be doing this shit in their 60s

    All the "anti-woke" screeds against Marvels is gonna make me go watch the movie I swear to God.

    The same happened with Captain Marvel, Eternals, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel (all pirated of course but I still gave it my time) - All of which are okay to good. Seriously, there is nothing with Captain Marvel the character, Brie Larson the actor, or Captain Marvel the movie. Same goes for Ms. Marvel the TV Show (the first two eps were pretty good), Iman Vellani the actor, and I'm guessing The Marvels movie. I do not want to see more superhero slop but goddamnit I hate these right-wing weirdos who make the contrarian in me side with fucking Disney.

    Putting it in terms of a meme that the lib me from years past saw - Disney and other megacorps are Voldemort. Clearly the big bad evil. But the anti-sjw/anti-woke/anti-idpol crowd we see online are Umbridge (the lady in the pink suit).

      Yes there is, it's jingoistic military propaganda

        Sure but that's every marvel movie. Like black panther, a movie about an uncolonized, prospering African nation being saved by actual CIA intervention

          Captain Marvel is in the US military and that’s 90% of her character. At least iron man had a vaguely anti-authority attitude and recognized that war profiteering was wrong.

      I mean, most of those movies suck (I've heard She-Hulk is okay), the issue is they suck just as much with male leads as female leads, but the women coming second are at a disadvantage because people are getting sick of the formula over time.
