Definitely a legit concern.

She doesn’t bring much else.

i don't think social commentary/feminism can really be the problems here,

It's the lack of anything else redeemable in the film and thus it's only left with SJW feminist BS.

Creating a new character wasn't an issue, it was the decision to poorly cast the main character and not give a damn about the script.
Yep, her single motivation is to proove wrong a composit memory of male bullies that told her she wasn’t good enough because she was a girl.

In the end she gets her montage where she repeatedly stands up to them as she standa up to the actual supervillan, and thats it, thats all there is to her.
Fury does an excellent job. The could have titled this as a Fury origin story and almost gotten away with it. Hes the one you really wanna see on screen, and he pretty much carries the movie anyways.

I feel like I'm in the FFXI section and everyone is talking about how to get a 3% damage increase using ftp if you divide by 2 and multiply by 3 on Windsday...

So, a feminist movie inadvertently turned a man into the star character?

Wasnt the lawsuit against the likeness between Captian’ marvel and superman?

Thats Shazam.
It was a copyright infringement lawsuit, first filed in 1953, that claimed Captain Marvel, the big red cheese illustrated above, was ripping off Superman. For background Captain Marvel outsold superman in the post WWII '40s.

It was settled in favor of Superman 11 or 12 years later. So DC* got the rights to the character but not the name. Therefore Shazam.

*I think the publisher's name was DC when the suit was settled, if not it was changed not long after. I posted a link to the lawsuit somewhere on the last page.

Oh and it looks like Rotten Tomatoes has been manipulating the score in the back end by deleting negative reviews while promoting positive ones. So that audience score is highly inflated in the upwards direction, that's how badly received the film was. Ghostbusters 2016 all over again.

What I do normally is read reviews and watch videos before I would waste time/money on a film.

Sometimes even reading the plot on wikipedia so I don't have to watch the movie.

Everything is and has to be manipulated in the backend ... Otherwise everything, even good movies would be review bombed by trolls and bots.

Yes and this is deliberate attempts by the RT group to raise the audience rating as a way to mitigate the backlash from politicizing a comic book movie. Brigading reviews works bother ways and if anything the production studios have significantly greater ability to brigade up then 4chan has to brigade down.

The worst part these comic book movies will take up a bunch of spots at the theater...to make it even harder to watch the movie you want.

Dude, it went from like 30% to 55% .. let's calm down with the conspiracies.

What conspiracy? Why are you using emotionally laden language and imputing the context of that language towards me?

Yeah I think they are overdoing it a bit. Everyone likes fireworks shows but they get old quick if you have to watch one every week.

58,000 scores of zero before the movie was released. Still thousands of zero scores remain, needless to say, user scores have been irrelevant for years. Its not a new phenomenon.

Those weren’t reviews. RT doesnt let you review a movie that isnt out yet. Those were “planning to see” comments.

The deleted actual reviews.

I would expect user reviews to be banned altogether because of the review bombing practice spilling over into movies. It happened with Black Panther and now Captain Marvel. Its not like either troll effort had an effect on people going to see the movie, Black Panther brought in over a billion and Captain Marvel is already at 455m worldwide after one weekend. Everyone is going to see it, its the first big movie of the year.

What a movie makes doesn't mean it is good. Hell Avatar broke box office records...and I didn't watch it but that movie looks terrible.
