  • Oh. Yeah I agree that people can tank box office performance by calling a movie woke. My point was that not all criticisms of such a movie are based on its wokeness. I thought that was clearer than I may have made it. Sorry for being a dick about it.

    It didn’t matter in the end whether Captaim Marvel was good or bad- I will note that I have looked it up now and both user opinions and professional reviews I am looking up seem to agree in general that it was good and its sequel much less so from everywhere from the IMDB to Rotten Tomatoes- because it was doomed before a screenplay was written.

    It surprises me that professional reviews rank them in that order.


  • after admitting I only hoped that was what they meant

    Ironically, this was kind of a lie too. I was being nice; I was very sure what they meant (and explained in great detail why my interpretation was the only one that made sense) but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt until they clarified it since I didn’t feel like drilling that point any more than I already had. There was no hoping or guessing or lying about knowing; I knew.

    Edit: It occurs to me that you may not have seen this part of the thread, where they confirm my interpretation, before you made your comment replying to them elsewhere: https://lemmy.world/comment/14530165

    If you didn’t mean your comment as an insult, then I apologize for getting hostile. What was the simple concept you were trying to explain to me?
