I don\u2019t go to MCU movies, don\u2019t care for them, but I find this barely masked gloating over the low box office for THE MARVELS very unpleasant. Why gloat over failure?

@StephenKing It\u2019s fronted by women, and most of the MCU fan base (mostly men) don\u2019t like that. They trashed She Hulk before release, they complained about Black Panther being all women, etc

@StephenKing \u261d\ufe0fparticularly when it just happens to be the most FEMALE-CHARACTER driven Marvel movie they've released. That doesn't really strike me as coincidence, especially given the gross misogynistic nature of these comments.

@StephenKing It\u2019s the \u201cdidn\u2019t-have-a-date-for-prom-to-hating-movies-that-have-women-stars\u201d pipeline.

@StephenKing Misogyny, straight up\n\nIt\u2019s actually a good movie that suffered from having no actor promotion leading up to the release.

@StephenKing Cuz they hate women

@StephenKing Movie starring women. Movie starring people of color. Movie directed by a woman of color. Movie not made by DC Comics. Movie not directed by Martin Scorcese.\n\nGee, I wonder why it would have so many vocal haters...

Because white men in entertainment journalism don\u2019t want to give up their gatekeeping status, and were threatened when Brie Larson reminded them there are other voices & audiences, @StephenKing \nThey\u2019ve tried to tank her, and new voices ever since. #Facts

Hmm I wonder why people would be super happy about THIS particular Marvel film not preforming as well as the others \ud83e\udd14

It's led by women. That's the answer.
