Trolls have already begun trashing "Captain Marvel," dropping it's rating to 63 percent before anyone has even seen it.
At least part of the online vitriol seems to stem from fans misunderstanding "Marvel" star Brie Larson's call for more inclusivity during press tours into an attack on white men overall.

Below are just a few examples of the kinds of comments that are dropping her RT scores and note that virtually none of these have anything to do with the content of the film, which is the point of the site. Instead they are largely attacks on Larson herself:
"brie larson has already said this isnt for me.i'll spend my money elsewhere"
"Search the lead actress Drew Doesn't want us going as a white male I won't go, Drew I hope your move is good without me" (one troll responding to another commenter who said they were excited about this next chapter)
"Larson has made it clear...men need not attend this movie."
"I somehow feel that Skull are not the enemy, but that I am, since Brie Larsen has been careful to state she doesn't want the Press Tour to include types like me."
"Not interested in supporting Brie Larson's agenda."
"Tired of all this SJW nonsense"
"Marvel Execs are all ready bragging that Captain Marvel is "the most powerful hero" in the Marvel universe. This pretty much guarantees that she is going to be a total Mary Sue. Disney has all ready killed the Star Wars movie franchise. This looks like it will be the fist nail in the MCU coffin. Not interested in seeing another SJW propaganda film. Hopefully Captain Marvel doesn't take down Avengers 4 with it."

“Misunderstanding”
Shazam!
That was my guess- without seeing it or even checking out the story line...too white.
Lol - fake news to get out in front of the disaster this movie will be. I wouldn’t be surprised that Disney false flagged the attack itself.
The ads for the toy line are SJW packed as well.
Disney learned nothing from Ghostbusters, learned nothing from Star Wars. SJW stuff was already leaking into the Marvel Netflix shows, but those are small potatoes compared to the movie franchises. They are about to blow up their shiny gold-plated money printing machine.
One good thing to come out of this is that movie studios can’t stubbornly put out the SJW stuff over and over in a franchise once they lose money. Marvel could do that with the comics for years, but a studio has to start amputating losers much more quickly.
It always amazes me that they seem to believe they can use their First Amendment right without consequence, while at the same time they continually try to deny Conservatives their First Amendment rights or punish them for speaking.
Well guess what chees, er Brie and all the other leftist whiners, speech and actions have consequences, you have the right to speak your mind, it's God given(that must chap your ass, it's God given), but the consequence of that speech is we use our right to freedom of association and not see the movie, to the detriment of those other performers you don't seem to care about, or the stock holders in the studio.
Also we can use our right to free speech to denigrate the film, whether or not we've seen it. Sucks when we play by the liberal rules doesn't it?
Those aren’t reviews.
They simply asked if people wanted to see the movie or not, and they said no and why.
Speaking for myself, as a white guy of course, I have no intention of seeing this movie because it features an assless white womyn who is a giant ass.
I predicted the movie will pull in a cool billion. I’m standing by that prediction. First reviews coming out from people who actually have seen it could hardly be more positive.
I remember in the months leading up to “Titanic” coming out, there were a lot of predictions that it was going to be a disaster.
Titanic was cheesy, not woke.
Go see Alita Battle Angel instead. It’s a phenomenal movie and the SJW are trashing it ecause it’s not “woke” and doesn’t advance their BS agenda.
Saying you want to EXCLUDE white men is not “promoting inclusion”.
Is it 1984 yet?
Who is most likely to be the first to see an SJW movie with a man-hating star? Man-hating SJWs.
And regardless of the quality of the movie, they are likely to give it fantastic reviews, because they want it to be great.
The same thing happened with the female Ghostbusters movie. Early good reviews, then they tanked as people who didn’t care about keeping up the SJW narrative saw it too.
Is this more of the Trump curse with more people saying “Enough of your SJW against us.!”
Replacing a crippled 100 lb guy with a gal is sexist, anti-male and anti-handicpped
No need to bring Brie Larson’s anti-male, snowflake, SJW agenda into my decision not to see it. Between “Star Wars: The Last Insult” and “Avengers: Infinity Bore”, I’ve pretty much given up on the Stuper-Hero movies.
Actually, with all the crap out there, my new game is to find the least offensive movie to see with my “gotta see every movie out there” wife.
We’ll see.
As the original Avengers actors are starting to get older (Robert John Downey Jr is 53, Mark Ruffalo is 51) , Marvel is trying to bring a fresh face to extend the franchise’s lifespan.
Unfortunately Brie Larson is pushing 30 and is about to start hitting the wall.
Here’s the answer: because the SJW star of the movie is obnoxiously vocal about her disdain for white males. White males make up the bulk of the audience for comics and comic book movies. They don’t like being told that they suck.
