I don't always agree with Red Letter Media (I mostly watch them for Best of the Worst) but I just gotta like the guys after the Rogue One review. That movie was such a piece of shit.
Haven't watched their Captain Marvel review yet, but that movie was fucking DULL. You can tell Marvel -really- wanted the brownie points by making the shit character that is Carol so unbeatable and perfect and flawless, which just made me angry as they've never pulled their punches with male heroes. Wonder Woman did it right, as much as the ending fight sucked.
But God, how much I hate that Marvel is doing on movies what they already did on comics by inflating Carol's importance just so they can have their own female poster hero, and they have the balls to do do that "Carol standing up" montage after they've taken like 20+ fucking movies to do a female-led superhero movie. It's not brave or ballsy, they should've been doing this shit on Phase Two. And then these people praise the movie as if they had done something groundbreaking or had even made a good movie, when they were too chickenshit to show a female superhero with flaws and troubles. No, of course, Carol is perfect, no one can harm her, and yet she is still so fucking boring the other characters have to tell you she's amazing because she never is. And they somehow believe this is feminism.
Like, gah, fuck that movie. I didn't even hate it, but fuck it.
