It's hamfisted. Almost EVERY new character has been female. Their gender is not necessarily the issue-- but let's be real. Stop trying to give us an army of hyper-intelligent world-saving Sarah Connors. In reality, that's not the case. They're just throwing a bunch of teenage girls in the mix and making them the new face of Marvel. Why is it so hard to admit no one really wants to see that? I'll repeat. NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO SEE THAT! Well written strong female characters do best sprinkled in with strong well-written male characters. And there's a ratio that tends to work. And what makes it worse is how ridiculously they dumb down the men to make the women shine. Its like lowering the damn hoop. In the original saga we saw characters like Pepper shine even in scenes with Tony where you knew she could get shyt done. Same with when they debuted Natasha. Same with Maria Hill and the Fury dynamic. Gamora. Nebula... the list goes on.
The stories are being driven by a corporate agenda to shoehorn specific actors/demographics into the film. Everything else is tertiary.
You're just replying to reply at this point. You're not really here for a discussion. It doesn't MATTER if this shyt is actually dope. At this point it's just increased saturation of a concept that has been proven to be unpopular. Hitting the game winning 3 after missing the last 20 doesn't make you Ray Allen. You're a just a nikka who can't shoot threes and probably only hit that shot beacuse no one was bothering to press you. If this hits it'll be a fluke. It's not a sign of the tide turning.
My guy, who cares??? The reality is no one really does. The question should be are they telling a great story. Not how will women that don't even care for action films feel about it. Barbie did egeregious numbers because that's what they want. Did Black Widow break any streaming records? Are girls hankering for the next chapter in Kate Bishop's story? Does any one care Brie Larson is still in the MCU? No.
Another "heroine".
