    Well, yeah. Both Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel were met with extreme vitriol from people who would rather not see a woman in their super hero universe. Should we expect those people to have gone through a maturation process in the last 4 years?

      The problem comes when you dislike these not because there was a female lead but because the writing was shit.

      But because woman lead men sexist for no like.

      Though tbf it really comes down to most writers not knowing how to write female leads.

        It’s a bigger problem that barely has to do with the specific shows or movies. Marvel Studios has mostly been coasting since Endgame. It also didn’t prioritize female led properties, so they’re all coming out in this coasting period. This means they might be on average not as good. It’s not directly because they’re female led, but it is sort of indirectly because of that.

      This comes off as you being one of the people who rejects criticism

      This isn’t a discussion of the media, it’s about people rejecting criticism

      The issue is when it’s used to silence criticism about the many other issues with the film.
