“Captain Marvel” is the franchise’s latest installment which opened this week. It’s expected to make more than $350 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
But leading up to its release was a constant insistence that it was a “feminist” movie and that anyone who doesn’t like it is just sexist and doesn’t like female-led superhero movies (ignoring the fact that critics and audiences both adored “Wonder Woman”). Critics on Rotten Tomatoes trashed the movie, though that clearly means nothing to theater-going audiences.
