Our current film industry leaders still haven't figured out how to make an empowering female hero, and it really shows in Captain Marvel.
Our hero is told from the beginning by a Jude Law that's definitely going to turn out to be the villain to "control your emotions." Ok, so the most stereotypical misogyny in American culture, got it. So by the end, the lesson for our hero should be emotions and feelings aren't evil, and your true strength comes from embracing who you truly are, right?
Nope. Instead we just get an overpowered hero that still has no emotions or feelings--it's just that now she better knows who she is. Kind of.
I don't understand why it's so difficult for writers that are being paid millions of dollars to write scripts that are actually good. You're all trash, you're just cashing in on the money cow without creating anything that will ever be worth remembering and I pity you.
