Is it actually bad or just woman-haters boycotting women leading roles.
Personally I just dislike captain marvel as a character since she’s just too powerful, kinda like Superman. It’s just boring. Watched the ms marvel show and it was ok
I enjoyed it a lot. It has some very real weaknesses that I mentioned above, but it was a lot of fun.
I also really liked it. It wasn't the best Marvel has put out but it was a very fun film and Iman Vellani is such a joy to watch do basically anything.
Its many reasons. It not being promoted is a big one. Marvel fatigue is another.
Of course it's women haters. You nailed it, great forensic work /s
Mock all you want, there are plenty of incels and conservatives out there that don’t want to see women succeed at anything other than domestic motherhood. And the venn diagram of those groups and comic book fans has a lot of overlap
Marvel/Disney is going down in general. Nobody is speaking of secret invasion or Loki. Nobody cares anymore.
Thinking that some incels going to the movies made multiple billion dollar movies and now them not going are making The Marvels fail you're really overthinking it.
I don't have intention on watching it, but I don't think I've seen less than half of the stuff released after Endgame and the only things I don't regret are Spiderman and maybe Wandavision. Going to a movie now knowing half of the stuff was probably set up somewhere else and a lot will be set up for something else it's just exhausting.
Might check for free on D+b if they don't crack down on account sharing
They did it to Barbie and that had no discernable effect. Barbie set several box office records and at 17 days, "Barbie" tied the studio record for the fastest time to hit $1 billion globally, matching 2011's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2".
Incels and conservatives can't beat a good movie, or an interested female audience.
They don't prevent other people from watching the films. Sounds like even you haven't even gone out to watch it, and I doubt it's because they stopped you from going out and seeing it.
As I said in the original comment, I don’t care for the character since she’s a Mary Sue like Superman
Which is why the theory proposed seemed a leap, since you yourself gave an example of why a non incel doesn't have interest in it. Add in the complaints of Marvel since the end game and the TV shows increasing the quantity of content but not necessarily the quality and I think that starts explaining why Marvel movies went from a can't miss cultural phenomenon to either a skip or wait for disney+.
