[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7576802, member: 6716779"] Idk what the solution is. Obviously some audience scores are being bombed but critic scores are also out of whack. See the Orville for example. You still need a compelling story with a compelling lead or ensemble if you want a legit high score instead of critics softballing things. Obviously for a popcorn flick the expectations can be a bit different. Generally I find a female lead is fine as long as it doesn't feel like a lecture or is to on the nose about it. Moana, Labyrinth, Aliens, Terminator 2 come to mind of things done well. If you don't like strong female characters beats me how you become a fan of things like Star Wars/Trek, comic books, Sci fi TV shows in general. Comes down to how you write it and promote it IMHO. Sometimes the problem is the actor (Hayden Christiansen), the character (Rey) or the script (The Last Jedi). Not watching Captain Marvel because I don't do super hero movies and have only seen 3 of the MCU ones anyway and paid for 0 as my D&D group paid for the ticket or rental. The attention on it has kind of made me want to see it so I can see how the Thanos thing plays. out. I have a bit of catching up to do though I have heard of this movie Iron Man never saw it.
