It felt entirely self-congratulatory was the problem. Like you could almost hear the Russos ejaculating all over it. "Look at all these awesome (second-tier) women!! They are all in one place fighting together! Because women! WOMEN!"

I just felt dirty watching it. Like I was being pandered to by a guy in an alley wearing a trenchcoat and nothing else.

Do you feel that way every time the male superheroes have their big hero moments together?

NAYRT but that seems like a really useless comparison to me because everything about the context, framing, background, narrative, intent, etc is different

That is such an awful comparison. Most of the male characters have their own movies and are the leading role whereas pretty much all the female characters (besides Captain Marvel) are supporting characters. So it's like just put all the female characters in one spot so we can get our "woke" credit.

Please show me a similar scene where every single secondary male character all of a sudden congregates on the same corner of the battlefield to take off in unity. Or better yet where all the PoC congregate on one corner of the battlefield. It's so cringe and tryhard.

Like... no they don't get credit for bunching a group together. How about make more solo films for the characters instead?

There was like...10 bunching up similar scenes for secondary characters in Endgame. That is what most of the final battle was.

In the snow fight at the start of Age of Ultron the whole team does a contrived group pose like this and it was just as dumb there.

The male heroes get their moments together constantly because there are more of them among the more significant characters. It makes this scene stick out as forced because we haven't seen something like this in the whole MCU until this moment.

I guess I don't understand the need to exhaust oneself questioning the intentions of a scene that doesn't do anyone any harm and thinking the worst of the ones who came up with it.

Look at it this way. If nothing else, it's a start. Maybe in the next few movies, we'll get more and more scenes where having women teaming up is no big deal.

Yeah it was ok for a 2 second sequence, but when you think about it, it's really lame. GIVE US MORE FEMALE CENTERED MOVIES.
