Apparently everyone who didn't have an orgasm over this movie has a motive. So tiresome really. I mean it was an okay movie from one of the least interesting creations in the Marvel stable. It was Thor quality but with Jude Law as the bit on the side and a really cool cat thingy.

Wonder Woman didn't need one, the character is amazing.
To be serious for a moment: Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman (or other superhero movies) aren't some kind of political movies which want to make some statement about our society. They are just popcorn movies and some are better than others. There isn't anything of really revolutionary about them. Unless you believe that a female action hero is shocking. And if this is the case you have to check your watch, because evidently it stopped in the 1950.
Do you have a link to that PR, because that sounds more like opinion than the commercials I have seen. Certainly I haven’t seen it promoted as a “glass ceiling landmark in cinematic history” nor “rising up for the first time”
I have seen it talked about as the first female led movie in the MCU. But, that’s a fact, right?

What is the MRAer?
Well, it's like, a hard fact man. I mean, after, I don't know, 15? movies with a male main character it's noteworthy.

At least in the case of Captain Marvel, I actually have to disagree with that.
For a definition of popcorn movie (not necessarily authoritative, but one I think we can work with, at least provisionally) [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/popcorn_movie]:
A motion picture without serious dramatic content, a weighty message, or intellectual depth, which serves simply as enjoyable entertainment.
Does Captain Marvel fit that bill? I would have to say, no.
The standing up montage is a sequence checking all three: dramatic content, weighty message, and intellectual depth. Carol deciding that she doesn't need to prove anything to her emotional manipulator is also all three. These aren't simply incidental parts of the film, they are climactic.
One could strip out that stuff and have a similar film, one that many might find more or less indistinguishable to the film that was released, but Captain Marvel went the extra mile to be more than just a popcorn flick.
Solo flopped because the last Jedi sucked, it was an awful mess of a film and torpedoed the goodwill from TFA and the excellent Rouge squadron.
Captain marvel was a decent enough movie for what it was, and was coming off the back of infinity war which was amazing
Why the hell would it flop?
I take your word for it
You do?I take your word for it
So a male led movie flopped because there is another movie with strong female characters...?
Riiiiiiight.....
Err, Yes? Why not?You do?
