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.
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.

People get all worried about "Girl Power" moments in film like there haven't been moments like that in films forever, same with Dude Power moments.
They may commingle comments by actresses/directors who are SJW types with what happens in the film. To echo Frazod a bit, perhaps they are looking to assign blame in supremely disappointing films, so pile on the SJW bits.
