I came to this film expecting to leave within minutes but I realized early on why so many of the regular 'Marvel' fans don't like this
(1) there is a very female energy. When the lead is in a car chase, right from the start, she doesn't lead a path of destruction through the city. She is calm and collected which for me was refreshing but for men this must be disconcerting
(2) Through out the film she doesn't want her super powers. While most male action 'heros' seek out powers, she is very reluctant about them. She wanted her old life back and that also must bother these men
(3) Granted the scrip is dire in parts but there have been other Marvel scripts , just as bad. In fact , most of them are dire.
(4) I LOVE when she just drives around in a crashed Yellow cab, like nobody would notice. Other marvel heros would turn that into a full movie of its own.
(5) the baby shower scene - FINALLY a scene in a marvel movie I could relate to. Those 'girly' gigs are worse than the dentist - I would choose the dentist over a baby shower and Webb is a woman like me in that respect
(6) I think the male movie goes just don't like all the women ganging up on that one man who wanted the regular global domination with super powers yada yada yada. Once again, made them uncomfortable. However as a female movie goer, I'm tired of the same old ding dong in movies. While the script and made teenage girls even more tedious than in Mean Girls, it was better than multi universe too many character BDE film.
