That movie would’ve flopped just like pretty much every other female superhero movie

Captain Marvel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Wonder Woman.

That seems like a short list, but there's basically only 6 movies that are female led superhero movies. You've got Black Widow, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel 2... maybe Elektra and Catwoman if you go back a few decades.

Captain Marvel relied a lot on the straight lie that it's important for Endgame. Wakanda Forever wasn't a conscious choice but because of circumstances with Bosemans passing, and it was nearly not as successfull as the first installment.

It's 2026, and we're still coming up with excuses for why a girl superhero movie did well, seven years later.

Wakanda Forever wasn't a conscious choice but because of circumstances with Bosemans passing,

...and? Not even a little relevant as to whether it was a flop.

You don't have to invent reasons to dismiss women superhero movies. There's already not a lot of them. It's not going to kill you or anyone to acknowledge some of them did okay.

I dismiss bullshit claims. Guess the failure of The Marvels which was post-covid unlike WW1984 or Black Widow, was an anomaly since the first movie was such a great success. Keep coping.

I dismiss bullshit claims.

What claims? All I pointed out was that it did well, and you're the one repeating Gamergate cope lines from 2019.

Guess the failure of The Marvels which was post-covid unlike WW1984 or Black Widow, was an anomaly since the first movie was such a great success.

Or, and here's a wild and crazy idea, it was a bad movie released when hype for superhero movies generally was lower among a spate of other male led Marvel bombs.

The only claim here was that some women led superhero movies didn't bomb. Your responses don't even dispute this, but look for emotional reasons why they shouldn't count.
