Before the movie came out a legion of haters, trolls, and assorted alt-right scum accused Captain Marvel of being some vanguard of political correctness. That it was going to be a feminist SJW movie putting politics in our comics, emasculate men, feature an overpowered hero, and be the vehicle for Disney to drain our precious bodily fluids for their own gain. They bombed the reviews, started on the smear pieces and personal attacks on Brie Larson well before the movie came out, and began crowing about the inevitable doom of Captain Marvel.
A summary of the pre-release captain marvel controversy
But now it’s out and smashing records. People can see the actual movie and put the truth to the lies. The best thing is, the reactionaries weren’t even wrong about it being a feminist SJW movie about politics. It’s just that that’s what makes the movie great.
Discussing that is going to involve some spoilers. If that isn’t your thing, I recommend you go watch the movie before you read on.
