Again, Marvel has just nailed it so far with their movies. Their MCU is approaching old school Star Wars level of fandom and interest, and they've earned my not giving a damn about whatever quasi-political message people think they may be trying to send, even if the star of the movie is trying really hard to push that angle.
They've got the benefit of the doubt with at least me. If it sucks, or if Brie Larson ends up ruining it, I won't support this particular film again. It's that simple. [Reply]

Bris Larson is single handedly circumcising the profit right off this flick...
The only people complaining about Larson's politics are the same swinging dicks who are mad that CM is a woman, or that she doesn't smile, or that her costume isn't skimpy enough. Marvel clearly DGAF about those people's opinions or else they wouldn't have gone in this direction to begin with. They clearly think that for every one misogynist who boycotts the film, two women will show up.
This movie will do great or crappy depending upon how good a film it is, nothing more, nothing less. What, you don't think racists skipped "Black Panther"? That film seemed to do okay. You don't think sexists skipped "Wonder Woman"? Ditto. On the other hand, the SJW issues didn't hurt the new SW films; the fact that both TFA and TLJ sucked donkey balls did. [Reply]

I'm not iffy on the movie because of her comments in the media or the fact that she's a female superhero. I'm iffy on the movie because every trailer I've seen so far has been the definition of meh. I don't even think that Samuel L Jackson looks good in these trailers. It's just weird.
I'll probably see it because my oldest twin daughter wants to see it but it might just wait until I can rent it. [Reply]
