Hoping they'll become popular I guess. Some people think Captain Marvel(not Ms. Marvel) was an attempt at being "woke", but it was really to try and bring some interest back to the character so they could sell the comics, and try to make a new lead for the Avengers. Unfortunately, they wrote a boring script, made her way over powered, and got a weak actress to play her. Actual Captain Marvel character is pretty decent, but not fleshed out as much as the other mainline Avengers. Of course, now there's this thing where apparently every comic book hero in the marvel-verse is an avenger....so yeah....it's all pointless nowadays.
At least the recent movie series went out with a bang, and ironically, the most eye rolling part was the all female baddassary, "we'll protect you" thing in the final battle. Watched it and wondered who half of them were.
Wasn't Scarlet Witch holding her own against Thanos? Looks like they had a pretty BA female already that is also feminine. I guess they didn't like the feminine part. Women are more BA when they are feminine, not when they are misrepresented as a masculine male but whatever.
As I recall yeah. Scarlett Witch did pretty good. Was more impressive than captain marvel, who comes in and blows up a bunch of ships, then somehow can't do anything worthwhile after that.
But, it took me a bit to remember who she was. I remember seeing her in another movie, but couldn't remember which one, or what her actual motivation was. She was just there all of a sudden, and I suppose it would make more sense if I remember why she was there.
I think End Game was really good, but like most avengers movies that aren't about a single character...which is really just Thor, Iron Man, or Captain Marvel, have way too many characters, with way too much focus on Black Widow which has probably the worst actress in the series, and while her character is interesting, it got really old quick n the face of all the bigger things going on. I'd be like if they had Captain Marvel be all whiny about their past and Bucky for what seems like an infinite number of movies.
Anyways, rant aside, and back to topic, I have absolutely no problem with bad ass women super heroes. I love what they did with Wonder Woman in her individual movies. I actually like Captain Marvel well enough in the comic universe. I like the females in Guardians of the Galaxy. While somewhat new, and came about due to popularity on a TV show, Felicity Smoak is awesome, and bad ass in a way that is different than most superheroes. There are a number of female X-Men I like.
So on and so forth. But the whole, "Hey look, we're a bunch of bad ass super heroes, who are also female, so 'girl power'" was kind of lame, mostly because of the way things have been going lately with trying to put this stuff in where it doesn't really need to be. If this wasn't the case, then yeah, I probably would have had a different view of it, but a media is taken in the viewpoint of one's own culture.
She's more like avenger's jubillee.
Why tho?
