This. My wife is not a big fan of these films; she goes to them with me because I am nuts about them and she loves me, but her fandom starts and stops there. However, the reaction she had to the women teaming up rivaled my reaction to “Avengers, Assemble”.

No one thinks materialist feminism is the way to go. (Or if they do, it’s not gonna end well.) I literally say it is an issue of tokenization, so I am doing me quite well, thanks. (“Actually, women can be good” would also be the message if the women were ....evil. Like in a fairy tale where the villain is the evil…
So, I get it, I wrote a bunch, and the sentence where I specificlly note it is tokenizing is easy to miss, because it wasn’t the main point I was making (that the critic seems to be, um, missing some things from the movie, which makes this not as good a piece as it could be - I mean come on, the Natasha thing is…
So, as we are so fond of saying here at the AVC: It can be two things.
It can both be a fun easter egg reference to A Force (and by extension, Secret Wars) that visualizes the depth of possibility with characters who are women AND (as I note in the middle of the first paragraph, the thing that is ACTUALLY being…
What is wrong with you? Seriously. People mention they don’t like audience participation in movies and you fly off the handle as if they killed your dog.

Dear Tom:
Can I call you Tom? I like the feature, and normally I’d don’t give a shit, but please talk to more women other than your daughter and the woman who probably gave birth to her. After many decades of NOT HAVING SHIT REPRESENT US, lots of women had an emotional reaction to the damn women-Avengers moment and did…

I’m glad you said it because I didn’t want to be the only curmudgeon but, holy shit, if someone put their hands up in the air in front of me and started clapping and yelling while I was trying to watch a film...
After watching as much of that YouTube reaction video as I could stomach (10 seconds), I am so very glad I live in a country where people SHUT THE FUCK UP while watching a film. Even though at my equivalent opening-night viewing you could sense the excitement bristling through the audience, the relative silence…
For some reason, Clint Eastwood and the other makers of Richard Jewell decided that the tragic story needed a retelling with the addition of a spicy suggestion that Kathy Scruggs fucked for tips.
The demo version of My Generation has the line “I hope THEY die before I get old”.
I think Colin Trevorrow did a good thing.
She’d make a pretty tasty dish of the day as well, and as a random bit of trivia, her mother was Trillian in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy TV series.
That would be so funny if when he finally releases the last book and it’s literally just transcribed word for word from Season 8. People would lose their shit.
Sort of like Monster Squad meets Bubba Ho-Tep?
