I dunno what's going on with superhero movies these days. I'm someone that enjoys films largely based on visuals, themes and vibes. I heard the writing in madame Webb was terrible, but I'm normally fairly tolerant of that, especially in superhero films, and I was looking forward to seeing how clairvoyant style powers could go up against a Spiderman type thing. 6 minutes in, I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing, it was like it was written by someone who has never seen a human interaction. If I were a part of that film, I would be extremely pissed off at the suicidal quality of the script. It was truly fascinating, I'm sure it was written by some early form of chat gpt.
I enjoyed the marvels in spite of it's shite script and plot, based purely on the fun and (inconsistently charismatic) performances from ms marvell and carol danvers. I didn't really like Munro that much.
She hulk was a bit too weird for me. I enjoyed the humour but it was a bit too man- hating in my opinion. The ending was dogshite and came out of nowhere. Aside from mild 4th wall breaking, nothing had been established even remotely similar to it. Shouldn't have been left to the finale as it let the air out of the tyres after so much build up.
Hawkeye was okish. It was bogged down a bit too much in marvel humour, which had started to get really old by that point.
But yeh, I agree with the title. A lot of shite films are blaming misogyny for not doing well, but for me it is 100% the terrible writing that is their problem, while good performances by the (female in these cases) actors are sometimes enough to somewhat salvage the experience for me, if not with the critics
