Wrong. You're absolutely, infuriatingly wrong.Meh. ALL stories have some element of 'justice' to them. The good guy wins or loses. It's totally inherent to storytelling.
What you're saying is that it's 'justice' you don't agree with.
I'm mean for crissakes Clint movies were all about 'justice.'
You just don't like that the protagonist in this, has tits and a vag.
At any rate, if you're bored, search Q's posts on the Spiderverse movie. Same criticism. But he was totally wrong. The movie was not just okay, it was EXCELLENT.
A good story is a good story, whether the protagonist is 'woke' or not.
And on Marvel marketing the movie as a 'social issue' film... wtf are you watching? Link a trailer and then show us something specific. I call bullshit.
For starters social justice isn't JUSTICE. Justice doesn't need a modifier. Maybe you're ignorant of what social justice is, or what social justice warriors expound, or how bad Marvel has gotten at catering to nonexistent progressive fans, but don't seek to lecture me from a place of ignorance.
You also make assumptions about me despite not even knowing me. I don't dislike this protagonist because she has tits and a vag. I hate her character because she's (become) a shitty, disgusting character. Yknow what a top 5 comic book movie is for me? Wonder Woman. I love that movie, and her character. She's, well, a woman. So I don't dislike Carol Danvers because she's a chick. For fucks sake, Rogue was my favorite X-Man. I hate Danvers because she's a shrill third wave femenist Mary Sue SJW.
Agreed a good story is a good story. We've yet to see if this is a good story. I've formed my educated opinion on what I've seen. I could be wrong and it might be good. I hope I am and it is. But nothing I've thus seen makes me think I am.
Okay. In the first trailer, you can't even tell wtf the plot is. It's just a Larson and versions of her as a girl continually standing (symbolic reiteration), her character lecturing Fury she's a hero damnit (heroes don't have to seek validation as heroes, in fact, the best don't), the HER on screen (before it becoming Hero), etc. the more recent one? Starts with her and a female co-pilot talking about outperforming the boys, going higher, further, faster, etc. purely coincidence I'm sure, then there's Feige coming out and saying she's by far the stongest Marvel character. There's Larson making up things about the character hyping the flick, and of course she's on record saying we need woke movie critics and blames patriarchy for female movie failures. You don't see that as marketing this movie along a gender line rather than just a hero line, that's your...in my opinion...stubbornly defiant opinion. Yknow what movie didn't have to market itself as a FEMALE hero movie? Wonder Woman. Another movie that didn't market itself as a minority film? Black Panther. Oh. Also Into the Spideyverse. This movie? Marketed as "Girl Power", like it or you're a pig.
