Nothing is wrong with having an agenda if not negative. The issue here is it was heavy handed and sloppy.
Again the scene in Endgame was HORRIBLE. People sucked their teeth in the theater. It was a literal pause in the story and action and someone saying “GIRL POWER! GIRLS KICK ASS TOO”.
None of the Marvels have enough cache for anyone to care about.
This agenda is negative because it’s done terribly so the effect is negative not to mention it’s unnecessary.
Nobody complained about Rogue in Xmen, Black Widow, Storm etc.
We’ve been watching women kick ass on screen since Jackie Brown but those were done dope. We watch Tarantino have trilogy with Kill Bill female led. Classic. No agenda just kick ass movies.
This shyt and Star Wars was done simply to try and attract a female audience without having dope storylines behind it. Audiences aren’t dumb. That’s why they are flopping.
It really amazes me when people get mad at audiences for saying hey I’m not watching that shyt.
Kill Bill would be scrutinized today. Kill Bill, Alien, Terminator 2.etc happened way before social media, and this current culture war became a thing. The "women are taking over men" brainworm wasn't really as prominent as it is now. Same way as Brandy's Cinderella didn't get a lot of flak when it came out, but you couldn't do that today without big pushback. No one is going to retroactively attack 20-40 year old films that in some cases, existed before they were born.
Twitter age, culture wars has changed how people interpret media. Decades ago, you didn't have Fox News and online talking heads screaming about "Woke agendas" and telling people what they should be offended by. If Captain Marvel released in 2004, no one would be complaining about "forced agendas", if it was bad, people would say it was bad and move on.
Like even films like Legally Blonde, or Mean Girls couldn't be released today without people calling them woke.
