I had my fill after Endgame.
And the female lead movies just didn’t appeal to me, as they have been consistently bad at writing “strong female characters” as they call it. It tends to just come off as cringy.
It’s kinda the same writing problem with “The Justice League”. Close to the entire movies dialog is just shitty one-liners. One-dimensional.
Like they only have two types of characters. The ‘über bad-ass with the one-liners’ or the ‘overly emotional one with a chip on their shoulders’.
The latter worked for ‘Scarlet Witch’, but even that got to be a bit much in the end.
What went wrong?
ROFL! Is this a joke?
I noped out of this one when I heard I needed to watch a whole TV show to make sense of it.
The MCU worked better when all I needed to keep up on was 2 or 3 movies a year.

Which one? Ms. Marvel? Wanda Vision? Or did you really mean the movie Captain Marvel?
I’m addition to what others have said, Marvel shows and movies with female leads get more flak than they deserve in my opinion. There still seems to be some misogyny in this niche.
I fully disagree
Most people really don’t give a shit if the lead is female, black or a martian. They care about good movies with primarily good stories.
The captain Marvel movies were shit stories trying to push yet again the female narrative instead of just making a good story. Add to that a VERY unlikable lead actress who just bitches and brags about herself to the point that her co actors are just “suuuuuurrreee” right next to her, and you got a recipe for Disaster.
Although I’m too burned out on the franchise to be excited about new releases, Captain Marvel 2018 was one of the best movies they made in general without qualification. Wanda + Vision was phenomenal until the last episode and Ms. Marvel was great until the 3rd episode. This movie has plenty of potential that at this point I’m not sure they care about using anymore.
Tbh I’m just going to watch it on Disney Plus at some point. I don’t have an interest in it because I didn’t have an interest in Ms Marvel so the team-up just isn’t something I’ll go to a theater to see when I can stream it later.
I can recommend the first 2 episodes of Ms. Marvel. I suspect the remaining episodes suffered a series of Disney-induced comprimises and are kind of a mess. The first 2 episodes are great and enough to endear someone to Kamala who is a well-acted and fun character.
All the superhero movies and star wars movies are the same. It’s like every new COD. Do non-superhero stories and quit being so risk-adverse, it’s bad for the shareholders anyways.
None of those movies have any grit. Every story told is safe, it’s meant for mass appeal, it’s sanitized corporate garbage. Even the Barbie movie had more going for it in terms of commentary, story, and backbone.
