The worst part is these people keep saying she "doesn't want white men to watch her movie" or how she "hates men" and other miss interpretive shit and spam these comments so people who don't bother to actually research anything to believe this crap.

I don't know why so many people ignore this obvious fact.
Next time you go to see a film, try discreetly eavesdropping on other people in the audience as they leave the auditorium. You'll hear a lot of really stupid takes on the film you just watched. Now go to The Guardian or any other quality newspaper or specialist film magazine and read their reviews of the film. Now why would you care about the audience assessments, even if they weren't being brigaded by malicious individuals?
not a chance it was authentic (cinemascore says hi). it was mostly the super nerds and man babies who went that hard on it. their constant fuckery poisened the well too. (YouTube is fucked)
(not that certain gripes aren't valid but some need to calm the hell down, and others need to shoot themselves into the sun)
Can you imagine how much these people are going to shit there pants in rage when they introduce Kamala?
Captain Marvel's metascore is sitting at 65 so critical response isn't that great either.
It's been the industry metric for unbiased audience reception for quite a while as they've been around for decades. Also helps that they're not susceptible to angry incels/manchildren.
I guess that's one way to answer. Hope they will also do the next french election.

Yep, general audiences are dumb as rocks. In addition to missing all subtext, it's not uncommon for people to miss plainly shown story beats as well.
It's telling that some viewers think nothing of walking their ass out of the auditorium in the middle of the movie to refill their jumbo popcorn. I've seen it many times.
I really don't get. It's ONE female-led movie in the MCU, so why do some basement dwellers hate it so much?
They could just ignore it and watch Avengers, Iron Man, Thor and all the other movies instead. It's not like this will be the end of all Male superheroes.
Btw it's a really good movie and all of you should go watch it if you like Marvel.

While you're right that the critical reception floats around the "just good" impression (a vast majority of movie critics use the 5 point scale so a ~60 range movie is still considered positive) Marvel movies on Metacritic aren't really that high. Avengers is a 69, Age of Ultron is a 66. It can also get really lopsided at times; Ant-Man and The Wasp is just as highly rated as The Winter Soldier (70).
Metacritic doesn't really crop up that much when audiences talk movies because RT's system usually resonates more in the basic "will you enjoy the movie or won't you" system. It's why the Ebert formula resonated so much, all audiences are looking for is a basic thumbs up/thumbs down. RT even has their own "weighted average" for reviews, much of which diverts heavily against Metacritic (Avengers which has a 69 on MC has an 8.05 on RT) and while it used to be prominently displayed it's been concealed away, seemingly because audiences learned not to care.
Also, Metacritic only really counts roughly ~50 reviews for movies while RT usually ends up in the 300-400 range for blockbusters.
You asked a question and I gave you an answer about what's considered the metric for audience reception. Note, being the metric doesn't indicate perfection, it indicates a consistency, accuracy, and trust.
Brie Larson said she wanted more diversity in her press events.
That translates to "I hate white men" apparently.
I'm feeling with this movie a bit like I felt with Ghostbusters 2016. I think the movie is really weak and clearly tries to force some things (and that probably has to do with how quick they've wanted to introduce a new character into the "mainline" than with any hidden agenda all those lunatics think there is), but I do not want to give fuel to all those hate filled bigots, so I just won't review or score it in any way. At least I didn't have to pay to watch it either since it was an invitation.
But man, how sad must someone be in his life, and how much spare time does he have to lose time hating things.

Dat Alt-right x Incel effect.
"But she's a girl and she wants more brown people at press junkets! The jews will not replace us!".

Seeing it on Sunday, but i decided to skim through a few of those user reviews. Yeah well. I'm sometimes still astonished that a powerful female hero, who ... dunno like ... exists in various media forms of comics already ... puts that much issue on some guys. Sad.
Also holy heck @ that Rian Jonhson tweet. Tweet of the year! ^^

Cinemascore is flawed too as it seems just to measure if the movie is what people who went to see it expected it to be. It is the reason why movies such as Drive and Hereditary got Ds while movies like Tyler Perry's Madea's Funeral gets an A.
It's already relatively locked in for a strong opening weekend based on thursday night performance. People are already moving the goalposts to talk second week drop offs.
And I remember people in TLJ threads claiming that no one review bombs on RT. I think at this point anyone sensible is just going to stop giving that any weight whatsoever.
I love that she'll be a major part of Avengers Endgame, I can't wait to read all the manbaby complaints about how she ruined the mcu. They're just so pathetic
Actual long term tracking had it at 100 mill. Then it increased. The tracking number is higher now than before, despite Larson ruffling some feathers.
And I ever said cinemascore was bad, or not better than RT. But you made me discover a new element to mesure something, in a topic where we discuss the failure of another, it seems normal to look at it with critical thinking to see if this one too has failures, and maybe try to see/check/discuss how much impact they have, if any.
You might just want to rethink your gif usage, I would rate it F in the discussion category but a good A+ in the unecessary patronazing category.
Not to mention, strong word of mouth trumps all else. It can even give a gusting third wind to movies (like Wonder Woman - word of mouth guided that movie to a string of steady weeks very few movies have enjoyed following an initial weekend drop off).
Not addressing you directly, just speaking generally: despite how loud the static from the alt-right & incels might seem online, they're a minority of the opinion out there and it seems like very, very few outside of their bizarre echo chambers even cares about their grievances.
Kinda where I'm at, although I wouldn't go so far as to call it shitty... just looks mediocre, and completely unremarkable. The tepid reviews haven't helped.
Nice! No stopping this train. Mcu films print nonry
No need for concern I guess!
Yeah, these metrics should be used with care. CinemaScore is great for letting you know whether your marketing was effective. For instance Blade Runner 2049 attracted an older, heavily male demographic, underachieving very high expectations based on the excellent reviews it got. CinemaScore results showed that, of those who showed up, the younger demographic appreciated it more. The younger people just weren't attracted to see the film by the marketing campaign.
Because of the way CinemaScore information is gathered, it's of very little use in predicting first weekend gross, second weekend fall-off and the like, though it will tend to predict how strong word of mouth will be.
Even if it wasn't being brigaded (it is), user reviews are completely useless anyway because consumers are too dumb to rate things anything but a 0 or 100.
Imagine being such an insecure idiotic incel (III) that you go out of your way to review bomb a movie starring a woman as a powerful role model. These idiots don't realize that even if women did not exist, they'd still be the pathetic fuckers they are now.
I hate that this whole SJW ruined Marvel thing seems also rampant in other countries. At least some of the regular taiwanese youtubers who do videos on movies have people leaving similar comments but in chinese. Fuck people who think that diversity is about political correctness.
I looked at the comments (mistake, obviously), and I laughed at how one of them was "Why do I hate her so much?". Even they don't fully know why.
Yup. They'd be furiously boycotting every Captain America movie because of Chris Evans if they were actually consistent. But Chris Evans isn't a woman, so it's harder to irrationally hate him, I guess.
??? another RT thread
i promise the general public doesn't care about user scores. dw stans, your precious MCU will still do numbers

Yup. He tweets about Trump and the Republicans really often but never gets attacked but Brie Larson comes ou5 and say "more diversity" and then everything that has her gets bombed.
I can't wait for next phase because we're getting Black Widow, possibly a PoC and a gay character/actor in Eternals and Shang Chi. If we're lucky we'll also get Ms. Marvel.
Nothing, but you know very well how 4chan/reddit reacts to that stuff.
I mean it goes pretty much without saying it, but sawing the movie there really isn't ANYTHING that can be taken as "shoving feminism down your throat". It's just a very fun movie with a strong female lead. It doesn't surprise me these people get so defensive about it, but damn if it isn't one of the stupidest thing to do.
I love how the "Eww, girls!" attittude from Kindergarden is now a strong socio-political movement.
