Same goes for the Marvel films. With Captain Marvel, all I saw was a movie that fell far short of my expectations. It was an average script at best, a poor choice for the lead role and a superhero that had so much power that she was boring (yet couldn't kill Thanos so like, what's the point of her character?). But I saw posts on CP claiming that it was an "SJW" movie. I've watched a few times since seeing it in theaters and still don't get it.[B]
I put Captain Marvel below the Joss Whedon directed Avengers films, for no other reason than the movie was basically unnecessary and almost worthless, which is pretty much how I see the original Avengers and Ultron - two failed concepts by the same director (I didn't like Justice League, either) and movies that just don't work for me.

While not feminist specific, the entire Canto Bight sub-plot was pure SJW pandering/messaging.
The issue with Captain Marvel wasn’t the film itself so much as it was Larson attaching a SJW “vibe” to it off screen. She keeps quiet and you don’t see or hear much of anything about the film in that regard.
