sidenote - they did a terrible job with Carol Danvers. no one cared about her sequel b/c her subsequent appearances in the MCU have been nothing. she just comes in grumpy faced and kills everything in her path. the one glimpse of character she got was talking to Peter for a half a second in Endgame. Can't help but feel like they're doing the same thing with Shang-chi. When his sequel rolls around will anyone give a shyt? They haven't even stuck him in a stinger scene since his movie.

Me a month ago:
If it does bomb, it'll more-so be an indictment on Feige, the MCU, and Disney for not having a real plan for the character. To the general public, Cap Marvel was a blank slate no one knew nothing about other than she's "apparently" the Wonder Woman/Supergirl for Marvel... which was enough to get the Barbie demo to show up for CM1. (the A:IW stimulus package is moot, bc MCU Spidey ate off Civil War, RDJ, End Game, etc,. That shyt is par the course, but doesn't gurantee lucrative success unless there's an inherent appeal).

Put another way: 150 million budget, peak good will of the MCU brand, blank canvas to make a "superman in space" story with any hot blonde actress in Hollywood... give her any personality bc nobody reads or gives a fukk about actual comic books... yet a stiff, lifeless, mid depiction was the best they could come up with? $1 billion worth of eyes tuning in and that was the product they sold? Tch

Then they shelved her for 90% of End Game (likely bc they didn't have a plan for her or her abilities), when she actually needed screen time with the OGs for audiences to actually get the personality that was shelved in her own solo movie lol. The character will be "blamed" but they sabo'd her bad.

And yes, they're doing/have done the same with Shang Chi.

That aint why it tanked.

Thor 4 was complete trash and yet STILL a hit.

Their biggest mistake was making Captain Marvel a DYKE and then removing the men.

If you want women to show up to you need some sort of male/female love story and a prominent attractive male character.

Even women aren't interested in seeing a bunch of DYKES on screen especially in a superhero flick :pachaha:. They can't relate to that and certainly do not want to pay to see a bunch of dykes and no men (most women are stingy and selective with their money:laugh:). The same way us men can't relate to fakkits and don't want to pay to see bussy activities :dame:on screen.

That barbie movie had Ryan Gosling face EVERYWHERE and they highlighted the romance element .

The first Wonder Woman movie had Chris Pine's face EVERYWHERE and highlighted the romance element.

They were hits.

Romance/relationship is to women what action is to men. To think that women want to sit through a two hour movie just to watch girls kicking ass with no central love story is to ignore the history of cinema and folklore in general.
