Everyone knows that the replacement women of the MCU have been a disaster, but nobody is supposed to point that out.

It doesn’t matter that the female characters have been in the comic books for decades nor does it matter that they are women.  They are just insufferable.

In 2011, when Thor was released, Natalie Portman was a drag and had no chemistry with Chris Hemsworth.  Kat Dennings had much more on-screen charisma.  This was way before the M-She-U, and Portman had already worn out her welcome.

In 2021, when the Hawkeye TV show aired, Hailee Steinfeld was so juvenile and impetuous, watching the show was a tedious chore.  Florence Pugh saved the show.

Tatiana Maslany was incredible in Orphan Black.  If you haven’t seen it, she plays something like eight different characters, all clones and all distinct.  The viewer could tell which character she was portraying without her even speaking.  I thought I could watch her in anything, but She-Hulk was about as bad as a TV show can get.

It isn’t the fault of the actresses.  The writers didn’t just decide to introduce female characters, but thought that tearing down and discrediting the men was the way to do it.  The audience doesn’t have to be particularly attentive or knowledgeable to notice that the MCU hates men.

The Critical Drinker explains it in his review of The Marvels.

I am not happy that Disney destroyed the MCU franchise, but I am pleased to see the company get hammered for taking such a divisive and hateful approach to an established portion of our pop culture.

I’m not proud of the immense schadenfruede that comes from The Marvels being beaten at the box office by Five Nights at Freddy’s, a movie with a budget of $20 million.

Other MCU movies are on the schedule, but not as many or very soon.  It will be interesting to see if Disney fires anyone or changes direction.
