Before I start this post I want you all to know that I wasn't even planning on making this post I was just going to address what's been said in my review of the movie but the more I thought about it the more I realised that this needs to be it's own thing. So in this post i'm going to address alot of things that has been said about Captain Marvel as well as some of the controversy surrounding the new movie.
Now if you recall some time Brie Larson came out and said that she doesn't want White Men to see and review the movie. If this was an attempt to get more women to see the movie then she's failed big time because those critics hold a huge amount of power am I saying that she shouldn't have said anything no but what she could have done is said " I want more women to watch and see this movie" that way there would be no controversy to speak of but because she didn't she's alienated a huge portion of the audience and In case your wondering I got this from a website called The Irish Times.
Now this next bit on controversy came in what I think is an innocent comment made by myself I can't recall the exact day this was posted but some leaked promo art for Avengers: Endgame came out and I pointed out that Marvel was pushing the character down our throats. My god did alot of people hate that because I got alot of hate with the general message being that I was somehow sexist yeah that's complete BS because at the time Marvel had to just released yet another relaunch and the fact that thew character is front and centre of not one but two TV specials and dozens of TV spots for the movie it really does seem like there pushing the character down our throats.
I know alot of people will argue the opposite and that's fair enough but to outright call someone sexist when they've said nothing of the kind that's where I have to draw the line. You can disagree with someone all you want infact it's healthy for you do that but to say that someone is saying sexist things when all there doing is saying that it feels like the character is being shoved down our throats isn't right and it makes you look like a bad person.
In all honesty everything surrounding this film is starting to feel like the Ghostbusters reboot you all know what I mean your wrong for liking the movie or in this case wanting to go and see the movie and your wrong for not wanting to see the movie. Once again there's no middle ground and that's not a good thing for either side regardless if you want to see the movie if you want to want to avoid so I ask both sides actually listen to what the other is saying because it might not be as bad as you think it is.

Now this last thing is kind of a recent one i've only just been saying it the past few days but apparently people are trying to boycott seeing Captain Marvel and go and see Alita: Battle Angel. Now this isn't a bad thing if there doing it for the right reasons in that they generally think that Captain Marvel looks like a bad movie but if there doing it because of the fact that they think that Alita represents women better without even seeing Captain Marvel then that's not the best of reasons and we all know that this is going to fail not because of all the controversy surrounding the film but because it's a Marvel film.
So there we go guys these are just some of my thoughts on the "controversy" surrounding Captain Marvel. I'm not going to lie alot of comments out there are generally sexist and against women but not all of them are and that's what we have to try and find out and not just group all of them together because that's just not going to help anyone.
