Spoilers Captain Marvel - Grading & Discussion

I wonder what people would say about either one of those scenes if Carol Danvers had been the protagonist rather than Clark Kent.
I also was remembering that I saw Black Panther while I was working in West Africa. We had a special showing in English, in fact. The buffoonery of Martin Freeman drew uproarious laughter from the crowd throughout the movie. I remember feeling slightly uncomfortable being one of the only white guys in the audience. Should I have hated the film because of that?

'I never had any issue with a funny throwaway scene in Man of Steel, so why would I have any issue with an equivalent funny scene in Captain Marvel'
Actually me, 2019
Well see the difference is those people in Africa have been genuine victims of western colonialism. Many of them have likely grown up in war zones and extreme poverty and are truly oppressed. Still the west is going in trying to eradicate their native culture and beliefs and replace them with ours.
If only we could make them akin to us, a society of whinging, consumerist hedonists, with zero respect for family values and total reliance on the state. Can they also sell their souls for the almighty $$$
Most feminist SJW's on the other hand are trust fund babies from the burbs' who are oppressed by a guy glancing in their direction as the walk down their swanky local Boulevard. Or they are deeply wounded that the US women's football team don't get paid as much as men despite generating 1/10 the revenue.
So we have a group of real victims, and a bunch of Muppets who know precisely zero about real opression.
Not really a comparison is it.

It's all you have is deflecting humor and nonsense.
When you go as over the top as you have, it's the best response.

I hated that scene in Man of Steel. A lot. But the scene in Captain Marvel doesn't bother me one little bit. So now I don't know what to think.
Why?
I don't have an issue where I need to pretend to be a victim of men or that I'm held down by that.
As I've said many a time I don't belive white women are held down at all, a little infantilized maybe, generally the way I see it. Of course there's exceptions, I'm not saying no white woman has ever been through something bad or been abused.
There's victims in this world, they are everywhere, real victims. The issue I have is most of the people who act like they care about these causes don't care about the real victims. It's either middle classed white women just wanting something to complain about or celebrities adressing us from their ivory towers before they go back inside for another cocaine hit.
If people want to solve things then the right people need to speak on this and the people we have talking on it now, most of them need to sit down.
Well, they were going for dark. But yeah, that scene sucked, as did that movie.
The real difference between Marvel and these other examples isn’t her gender, it’s how much she enjoyed it (in the deleted scene, I had no problem with the theatrical cut).
I have no problem with either scene, and I have to strongly disagree Captain Marvel 'enjoyed' it more than other examples. She took two seconds to be sarcastic and then walked away. Take another look at that Christopher Reeve clip someone posted and tell me how he wasn't enjoying himself subjecting that guy to multiple power displays while mugging for an audience the entire time.
