Current Events > Reminder the female power scene in Endgame isn't bad or "forced"

(+) Yeah! (+)

They snuck one into Infinity War and most didnt even notice it until you started talking about how Forced the one in Endgame is. Both can exist and have positive female reinforcement. You dont have to always sneak female scenes in so insecure dude bros dont get upset.

Theres no reason for it.
its just obvious fan service



Youve had 20 some movies to complain about male dominated fan service that never made no damn sense. Shit like Iron Man shooting beams into Caps shield in Avengers 1. Why? Makes NO fuckin sense in the scene. Isnt explained at all. Just looks fuckin cool. So thats why they did it.

Theyve been doing that for so long you dont think twice of it.

Maybe movies should put all their female characters on front street more often so people dont think its weird to see more than 2 female characters doing things.

Also. If you felt negatively towards it. Its not for you. Step aside and let new fans have their fan service moments. Youll be okay.

Infinity War did it right, Endgame didn't. End of story.

It didn't bother me. It didn't even occur to me that it was some 'girl power' type of scene

This is a normal response and youre appreciated for it.

Lol even staunch feminists hate that scene. Of course it was cringe/forced. Characters on opposite ends of the battlefield who have never even interacted were brought together in a "girl power" move. Even The Boys made fun of it and did it better.

i didn't care and my daughters dug it so whatever

---

Neither was as good as the Mandalorian girl power scene

You go tell @The_Trent s daughters theyre wrong and feminists said so.

What gets me about the scene is that there's many other scenes in the franchise that are just as forced, they just don't appeal to women, but people don't complain about them nearly as much.
For what it's worth my wife recognized it as pandering but still enjoyed the scene, similar to how other elements of pandering in the movies are enjoyed by people.

Those "heroes united" shots than pan around while the team is basically fighting in a circle are also terrible. Namely the Age of Ultron one. That movie had terrible scenes.

You brought up the scene in Infinity War and pointed out that no one noticed, because it was done fairly well. Then you defend the Endgame scene which was by comparison pretty low effort.

/Film had a podcast episode with women criticizing the Endgame scene because it felt lazy and overly pandering.

Oh and people do complain about fan service in other films. They always have and they always will. Some fan service is done well and some isn't.

This is an awful topic, because your arguments are incredibly weak. That Endgame scene could have been done way better.

Pandering is only bad when it panders to people other than straight white males.

It made no sense in the context of the movie.

Infinity War's was good
Mandalorian's was good
Endgame's was not

My biggest problem with the girl power scene was that wasp was in the van helping fix the portal, but had time to fly across the battle field to pose for the scene instead of just staying and helping fix the portal they were trying to get to in the first place.

why are we spoiling mandalorian itt guys

Again for the third time. You can do female empowerment scenes so well theyre slick and flow well into the movie

AND

You take a moment to slap every female character you have on scene at once, make it as obvious as humanly possible. Its still a great thing to see.

Saying theres only one right way to showcase your female heroes is moronic.

Why anyone feels the need to take this scene down a peg is beyond me. Leave your egos at the door and let someone else have their fun.

People with opinions like this sound like they leave a movie and don't remember anything and have no real opinions on anything. I guess you're cooler than everyone for not noticing something that came off super obvious to other people.

It was a pretty cringe scene. They should have put more effort into it and made it more of an action scene than mostly a group selfie. It felt very unnatural. That is the end of any argument to be had.

Superhero movies always have editing issues, but only when it's involving female empowerment do we care
It's the same shit with the Throne Room fight scene in TLJ. People complaining about the extras waiting for Rey to kill them instead of swarming her, but literally 90% of fight scenes in movies are the same

People are sexist and don't realize they have these biases

It's not about egos. It's about a cringe "girl power" scene from a studio that expects us to fawn over when it took them 20 movies to dedicate just one to a solo female character.

lmfao

children's superhero movies are serious as fuck.

"How dare you, you absolute buffoon? You ignoramus. It was so obvious, that your lack of taking note lead me to believe you have the brain of a peon. You absolute fool." <- How you come off

Those types of scenes are the Corporate equivalent of influencers snapping a quick pic of themselves near the BLM protests for Instagram, then jumping back in their Mercedes and peacing out.

Make a good movie about a strong female lead, all for it. That performative type of scene is just comes off as disingenuous to me.

Not a big marvel fan so it didn't really bother me, but still seems like pandering imo. How mad all the fan boys got was pretty good though.

Those are two separate things there. The first is great to see and takes effort. The second is just lazy.

If you enjoy lazy scenes then fine, but don't try to claim it isn't a lazy scene.

I'm sorry that I had much higher expectations for a film like this and you're so willing to be forgiving.

can someone direct me to the scenes in question?

I dont even care that they had a girl power scene if they'd kept it to certain characters like Valkyrie/Okoye. Some people being there made no sense.

It was so forced I have no idea what scene you are even talking about.

I have opinions of movies that I watch. If you don't really have opinions of films that you watch then why try to discuss the film?

That is really all your argument comes down to. That you don't notice things in film and don't understand why anyone would. Why come in here when people are discussing a scene?

Better for Marvel films to be "children's superhero movies", than the mopey sadfests DC insisted on up until Aquaman or so.

Bro, it's a superhero movie lol

Yes with by far the biggest undertaking of any superhero movie ever.

If you don't want to have an opinion on films like this then fine, but don't act like everyone should be as dismissive of the film as you.

Some of us just enjoy discussing films and what we liked or didn't like. Why does that bother you?

I didnt notice anything either >_>

Just badass purple Thanos doing incredibly memeable things :3

If you wanna call Endgame a superhero movie, your opinions don't matter. Full stop. How dare you

That's a very weird straw man argument. Get help if someone not liking a scene bothers you this much.

Girl power scenes are only natural when it tries it hardest to not make white men uncomfortable.

Aquaman and Wonder Woman sucked ass, too, honestly.
