Once again more hyper-sensitivity over RT scoring blah blah blah.
I like The First Avenger a lot, and I don't need Rotten Tomatoes to justify how I like it. It's at 80 now, but I recall when it came out it was hovering at about 78-79.
Also, look at Spider-Man, 2002 version. That movie was NOT 90 percent when it came out in 2002. It was closer to 80 percent.
I don't get all the hyper-sensitivity over Captain Marvel. Anyone who likes it is nothing more than a shill or pushing feminist propaganda. People who don't like it are male fascist chauvinists, blah blah blah.
It's just so weird. I remember when these movies were not the norm and it seemed unusual for critics to like them at all. Like X-Men 2 actually got fantastic reviews, especially compared to the first movie which critics didn't generally adore. Even the first Spider-Man movie only got I think 80% on RT at the time. Trust me, it's 90 percent now but back in the day it wasn't. And those were among the higher end ones pre-Iron Man/Dark Knight/Avengers.
The truth is, I thought Captain Marvel was decent superhero fare. Like superior to Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, but inferior to say Guardians Vol. 2, Iron Man, Thor: Ragnarok, etc.
Political agenda: Sure it was there. But I mean lots of popcorn entertainment shove in their political agendas in there. It's nothing new. I don't think it was a huge deal like it was shoved down our throats. To me that's the key. I don't really mind if there's a political agenda reinforced in a film that's opposite to mine so long as its still good and not shoved down my throat.
