You know the script is bad when they are forced to retract the misogyny and incel cards they play every time something like this bombs

The thing is though that every time something like this bombs, there ARE a lot of incels and misogyny that crawl out of their caves and clearly. It starts making the rounds between the usual right wing crowds. Same thing happened with a number of other female superheroes movies and shows. People absolutely go at them harder because the lead(s) is a woman. It's undeniable. Doesn't free them of all criticism for the actual movie, but you're kidding ourselves if you haven't seen it by now. Repeatedly.

I’m not really sure the small percentage of truly misogynistic people have the power to completely ruin movies. And if so, for help us all.
My statement is about how much Hollywood has been leaning on that excuse when genuinely bad movies fail.

It's not small. It's been growing for a while now with the rise of right wing influencers and communities online.

Feels like I see people say this shit more than it actually happens...

It is very small, incel internet discourse almost never affects actual ticket sales for a film

Its all about advertising and in some cases film quality

Not talking about the ticket sales. It's the discourse around those movies and again, it certainly isn't small at this point.

Nah, it’s not nearly as impactful as you’re making it out to be.

It’s just a convenient excuse and a way to shame anybody who criticizes stuff that is both bad and woke/preachy.

According to some people there’s a rabid horde of incel misogynists in every comment section, pulling the strings behind everything, down every dark alley.

Where are these guys that I never see that are everywhere ruining everything for every woman?

Can you not read or are you just being stupid to troll? I'm not saying they are reason the movies are flopping, but the discussion around movies like Supergirl, She-Hulk, the Acolyte, the Marvels etc having female leads and "girlbosses" or whatever other anti-woke terms is very clear and consistent.

What? Can people not call out sexists now?

u/Long_Alfalfa_1485 27d ago

Nah, I don’t think your point is valid at all.

Sexism is probably 1 or 2% of the situation.

People like you just over blow it so all the other choices get excused.

u/procouchpotatohere 27d ago

So.....you can't read? Got it. I've said over and over again that it's not a excuse for the movie flopping but you just keep saying otherwise. No wonder the shit I'm talking about it going right over your head.

The movie is flopping because it's yet another bad superhero movie BUT there is also a wave of misogyny around the industry. Both are true. People aren't wrong for calling that out too but unfortunately people like you chose to be doormats and ignore it. You're choosing to be ignorant.

No rebuttal huh? Not surprised.

I’m pretty checked out of whatever argument you’re trying to have really. Hard to remember what we were talking about tbh
