Lots of talk of manipulation from basically both sides of the argument when it came to the whole sexism/woke bullshit that we suffered through when it came to that movie.
The movie was marketed towards empowering women, but it was actually incredibly poorly written to the point that it makes women look bad.
Like the plot is: that she’s incredibly powerful and special and perfect from birth and she defects from her organization and lands on earth in 1995 and fights all the aliens and wins, the end. But also there are a ton of plot holes: if Marvel gave Nick Fury the idea for Avengers Initiative in 1995 then why did it take him 17 years to begin the project? Also, Stark’s dad was stated to be a founding member of SHIELD which is where Nick Fury claimed to be very close with him, even though Stark’s dad died in 1991 but Nick Fury is shown to be a low level desk jockey in 1995? Plus the entire subplot with SHIELD and Nick Fury realizing the Aliens are a threat to earth and they need superhuman defenders is stupid because Nick Fury mentions he saw Thor fight in New Mexico the year prior, and SHIELD has had an alien corpse on ice since WWII, and he has also knowingly interacted with the Skrulls (main antagonists and also some of the protagonists of the Captain Marvel film) on multiple occasions before. Then on top of all of that, SHIELD started out post-WWII as a Hydra operation wherein the remaining members fled to the USA after the Nazis lost the war, but for some reason SHIELD barely exists at all in 1995 and most of their roles such as research on the Tesserract is being done by a joint NASA and USAF operation?!
It feels like they just threw all that shit in at the last moment like “Yeah it was all Captain Marvel. She started everything. It was all her. And SHIELD were always the good guys, none of them were nazis.”
But the real drama was how they marketed the film, again. They modified shots in the trailers, spread false stories and rumours, all of it was lies.
I’ve literally only gone there when there’s been drama like with Captain marvel
What was the drama?
