It gets worse...

Two years ago, Wonder Woman proved a female-led superhero movie could reach the highest levels of the genre, with Gal Gadot proving robust and redoubtable, yet also charming and feminine. I spent Captain Marvel waiting for Gadot. What I got was Brie Larson: charmless, humorless, a character so without texture that she might as well be made out of aluminum.
Captain Marvel might be the first blockbuster movie whose animating idea is fear. Every page of the script betrays terror of what people might say about the film on social media. Give Carol Danvers a love interest? Eek! No, women can’t be defined by the men in their lives! Make her vulnerable? OMG, no, that’s crazy. Feminine? What century are you from if you think females should be feminine? Toward the end of the movie, when a villain preparing for an epic confrontation with Carol, the fighter pilot turned Superwoman, chides her that she will fail because she can’t control her emotions, there is no tension whatsoever. We’ve just spent two hours watching her be utterly unfazed by anything. Giving Carol actual emotions would, of course, lead to at least 27 people calling the film misogynist on Twitter, and the directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck are petrified of that.

Based off the SJW Cpt Marvel comic that was rebooted four times in one year (or so) due to poor sales recently.
Isn’t this the movie I read about where in some city, the theatres were ONLY showing this one and not letting anyone else see any other movies?
I suspect that the response to this overhyped costume drama will be tepid at best.
Just imagine after the MCU and Star Wars movies conclude and the theaters go dark
“I spent Captain Marvel waiting for Gadot.”
Now that’s Absurd.
I thought it was clever.
Of Course women rock and men suck. Is this even disputable?
Yes.
“Anything to protect Captain SJW”
This is the movie that Rotten Tomatoes removed the “Interested or not” polls for and claimed it was a review.

Been saying this for a while now. Females in movies aren’t just ludicrous imitation men. They’d be ludicrous if they were men and and acted the way they act. Let’s just say Clint Eastwood should have jacked up to idiotic levels the sneer, snarl and menace in his man with no name performance and copyrighted it. He’d be making a fortune today...
I see what ya did there
It gets worse...
Oh, that’s the ticket, make her look glamorous....
GEEZ, use your head, whoever produced this picture.
While, thru the ages, Captain Marvel has been both sexes, this particular movie was made to teach a lesson to those of us that don’t adhere to SJW etiquette.
I flunked the lesson (I’ll miss this class).
You’re among the few.
Was this a secret code? What was this about. Nevermind I'll go on to the next article.
It was a rather clever joke. Google “Waiting for Godot”.
