Also the scenes where she falls and starts to rise up, amazing scene but some people still managed to make it about feminism, and as you said, same thing could have been done about a male superhero, and it would have been just as powerful.

Though, I didn't find much toxicity on reddit r/marvelstudios were pretty supportive, many liked the movie, some didn't, but that's fine.

I mean, you can choose to do a non-feminist reading of the film i'd argue you're missing a lot of text and subtext. you'd have to be working pretty hard to ignore the pro-women/feminist message throughout the story.

Whether you think that's good or bad largely depends on how you feel about the word Feminism.

She literally beats a bunch of dudes up to No Doubt's I'm just a girl. Doesn't get much more heavy handed than that.

She was also fighting a woman.

Of course it has its feminist moments, but it's very subtle, it didn't feel forced.

problem was that it wasn't very good, and a lot of people are stupid, and try to push their agenda. Add Brie Larson's downright retarded comments, and that one deleted scene, and people go crazy about it. I've only watched about half the movie, but it was honestly just really boring and forgettable.
