The only one I've heard is that she's tired of everyone interviewing her on her press tour being white and male. She wants more diversity. She clarified to say that she doesn't want to remove the white men but to add more "seats" for others. Now I'd say that's pretty naive because we all know there are time limits on these interviews. So, no matter how many seats you add it means some people are going to have less time to ask their questions.
It's tough because I'm sure the interviewers are predominantly white and male, but does that mean they didn't put in the work to get there or aren't qualified? Of course not. Would it be great if we could live in a world with infinite time and opportunity? Sure. Except we don't. So, things will never be perfectly fair. No matter what for someone to get ahead that pretty much is going to mean someone else doesn't get to move forward.
Trying to GOOGLE bad behaviour or stupid with search engines which are all highly biased Libtard Propaganda seems pointless. 6ix likes to Feed the Trolls, so he is afraid of what they might say (I generally ignore the Trolls and their threads).
So your input is very helpful.
Maybe she thinks the most fervent fans of Comic Book lore are African Girls and that is who the studio PR should cater to.
I wonder if her stupidity is her only bad behavior.
Maybe if the Box Office stays under $50 Million she can go back to her low budget indie pics and stay away from successful endeavors.

So I've been seeing trailers for Shazaam, and for the Female Captain Marvel. Both coming out soon? Carol Danvers is 8 March, Billy Battson is 5 April. Djimon Hounsou is in both, plus a bunch of other comic book movies.
Before starting this thread, I had not known there were 2. I will alter the title to reflect both at this point. If somebody wants this thread to be specific to MCU, please say so.
I mostly read Batman, Superman. Recall Bob Kane. I forget what D stands for in DC.

I just read some backstory.
Supposed to be some elite female Fighter Squadron Pilots in the mid 1990s. I didn't know this was supposed to be a comedy. Sure, they had enough sense to make it Air Farce, which didn't have quite so many female Pilot disasters, but c'mon - Elite Fighters?

D in DC stands for Detective.

You didn't know there were 2 what?

Yeah. We're old dudes now. The 90's is that same mythical time to the kids growing up today that the 60's and 70's were to me. In my experience it's not until you reach your early to mid thirties that you realize that was really just yesterday.
History doesn't mean anything to people with money and an agenda. I'm sure a lot of kids are going to leave Captain Marvel believing there were elite fighter squads made up of nothing but women in the ancient days of late last century.

Ah, yeah. I didn't know that either. I knew vaguely of the character Shazam, but didn't even know there was a Captain Marvel in DC.
Growing up, except for Batman (comics and movies and even reruns of the ridiculous TV show) and the Superman movies, I never really cared for DC. Even now, I feel that Superman is just about the most boring character ever created because he's just too powerful and kryptonite was kind of like the reverse Deus Ex Machina that was invented just to be used against the Deus Ex Machina. I've at least caught a few of the early MCU movies years ago, but I haven't watched a single DC movie since the second Christian Bale one with Heath Leger as the Joker.
I really did like the TV show Chuck though. I might catch Shazam on Netflix or something since he's starring in it.
I wasn't joking about Rogue taking Carl Manvers' powers and throwing her off a bridge. That is what ultimately happened to Captain Marvel in the comic books. It's where Rogue got most of her powers from. It could actually be pretty interesting if they do it right in the movies. You'd have to have a pretty talented actress to pull it off though, since it would require dealing with a split personality for a time. Krysten Ritter would have been great for the role if she hadn't already played Jessica Jones.
From what I hear, the Netflix TV shows have officially been detached from the MCU as cannon, so that would still be possible, but I think that might be too big a risk to double cast her in two prominent Marvel roles that close together.
It would certainly be a much more interesting end to the current MCU arc than the Captain Marvel/Deus Ex Machina story that I've been hearing is going to be the conclusion. (That just sounds to me like extremely lazy writing after 10 years of milking you guys and gals for ticket sales).

Want to see at 28% now
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/captain_marvel/
Meanwhile, Alita Battle Angel has a 54% rating among critics with a 94% audience score.
Pretty sure the SJWs over at rotten tomatoes are going to revamp the entire site to keep this from happening ever again. I'm just waiting for them to start saying that Russian bots are to blame.

Critics Consensus
Alita: Battle Angel's story struggles to keep up with its special effects, but fans of futuristic sci-fi action may still find themselves more than sufficiently entertained.

That didn't take long, did it?

As of February 25, we will no longer show the ‘Want to See’ percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period. Why you might ask? We’ve found that the ‘Want to See’ percentage score is often times confused with the ‘Audience Score’ percentage number. (The ‘Audience Score’ percentage, for those who haven’t been following, is the percentage of all users who have rated the movie or TV show positively – that is, given it a star rating of 3.5 or higher – and is only shown once the movie or TV show is released.)
SJW's sure are predictable, even if you can't say anything else good about them.

The Shazaam character has an interesting history. Apparently way back in the day he was created to compete with Superman and since his alter ego is a kid he was actually wildly more popular than Superman. Now you might be asking why DC created a character to compete with their own character. Well he wasn't actually created by DC. They bought the comic book company that made Shazaam and I think they shut his comic down for a long time. Later they brought him back and introduced him into the DC universe with the other heroes. To remove the confusion with the Captain Marvel in Marvel comics they titled the DC character's comic book Shazaam (which is the word the kid says to turn into the super hero) and his original name sorta fell out of use. Still he is technically the original Captain Marvel.
