2023 feels like a distant memory in some ways. It was the year of the Barbenheimer phenomenon, the final season of Succession , and critically acclaimed music from Lana Del Rey and Olivia Rodrigo. Despite only two years passing, it feels like a long time ago, especially regarding superhero movies.
This was the first movie I saw in a theater after the pandemic and I loved it. The worst things I can say about about it are that it had a standard villain who we’d never heard of before and watching the making of this movie on Disney+ they went way overboard over how happy they were to involve zero men who n multiple facets of making the movie.
If you imagined it swapped and a bunch of dudes saying how great it was that they got to do, idk, costumes or sound design or whatever without any women being involved it would have been gross, but somehow sexism was supposed to be okay because it was women doing it? Ick.
Still a fun movie that I enjoyed, and I’m very much the dude that at least on the surface looks like who they’d hate.
