It wasn't that it was a girl power scene. The problem with it was that it took you out of immersion of the film and made it cringe. Why would all the women for the girl power scene be in that area secluded to themselves to form that scene. I mean, were they segregating the battle field? The Eowyn scene was fine.

Ok, here is my explanation.

All the dudes hated Captain Marvel so they didn't want to help her.

Mystery solved.

The only girl power scene that bugged me was in Captain Marvel when the Gwen Stefani song came on.

Cringey shit like that deserves to be mocked.

Back when Tolkien wrote that, it was actually a clever subversion, since it played off a prophecy being literal... No "man" could kill the witch king... but a woman and hobbit could.

I mean, if you know what the word means it is pretty much a straightforward insult.

Expendables 1 and 2.

These movies were more fan service for fans of all the actors represented rather than just being pure guy power movies.

That is my point. The way people use it and what it actually means aren't the same thing. It means involuntary celibate. Thats it. The majority of guys are incels, especially during high school, because they want to have sex but no girls will have sex with them. Hence involuntary celibate. It has nothing to do with hating women or anything else. It is just once again people and the media just ignoring the definitions of words and changing them to suit their own narrative to insult and belittle people they want to dismiss.

The woman who invented the term absolutely hates how it is being misused.

Too bad definitions of words change over time and self proclaimed incels:

are often characterized by resentment, misogyny, misanthropy, self-pity and self-loathing, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against sexually active people.

In other words just because some arent, doesnt mean all arent. Be mad at the violent incels, not those who use it incorrectly once the violent ones took over.

The words change over time bullshit is such a copout. The only people that use this are the people that are incorrectly using words in the first place. Not to mention the word is less then 30 years old. That isn't a natural change over time, that is people being willfully ignorant and using words incorrectly on purpose. Furthermore for words to change over time it has to be a natural progression of change by the majority, not a small minority not understanding the language and just making up their own definitions to words. Thats what fiction calls head canon.

It absolutely does. Incels just see themselves as nice guys and refuse to accept any of their own faults in spite of their hatred and bitterness.

You really just defend the worst people don't you?

whats this fallacy on the internet where if someone criticizes something its because of some underlying bias and not because it deserves to be criticized?

"I thought that Endgame scene was cheesy" "That's just because you're a sexist man"
"I don't think the Xbox has much to offer" "You're just a PlayStation fanboy"

etc...

The entire MCU is a cheese fest, pointing out one scene is redundant or worse

Like this is why people die one this hill.

Spotting a cheesy girl power scene? Easy
Seeing the entire franchise as basically the same amount of cheesiness? Why is this harder?

What are you even trying to argue here, that you have a problem with people criticizing any particular scene in the MCU?

My problem is if you can accept movie after movie of cheesy action sequences, romance, and comedy, it just looks a little weird when the girl power scene is the thing you dislike the most, or at least the constant amount of just as cheesy shit gets a pass.

Not to mention poses and team ups are like... a huge draw for superheroes anyway so why wouldnt they have a girl one in the big movie, at a basic marketing level it just makes sense
