Ouch
I want to know who they are marketing to? Pissed off feminists? Little girls? The poster screams chick flick to me and other guys I know. The trailer screamed girls only. Looks like their marketing.... worked?
No woman I have ever know over my entire life ever expressed the slightest interest in super heroes or especially female super heroes
What Sir Humphrey said in "yes, minster" came to mind:
It is not about what those women want or like, it is what they ought to, it is what the elites at Disney think they can make them want or like.
That is if they did their job right, at least I think that is what they told the people working for them.
I think the attitude was the the (mostly male) hardcore fans would turn up no matter what, and they could entice different demographics in addition. And it worked for a while. I mean Captain Marvel made a billion. Probably more due the the bandwagon effect though. Between Avengers and Averngers: Endgame there were suddenly loads of female comic book nerds. They are the same ones who will have jumped ship now the MCU is no longer fashionable.

The demographics from Thursday night were almost 2/3 male (63%), even with it having the lowest preview numbers of any MCU movie ever. What happened to all of the nerdy girls? Vanished apparently.

punchy smashy super heroes are never a draw for women. Now, BARBIE, notice they showd up big time for that! THAT draws women, not punchy smashy.
I would think gender interest would be so very obvious to people living on Earth, but perhaps not these days, for silly reasons.
I am not going to see it, because I am a 40 year old white dude, and this movie was not made for me.
shareThis 55 year old white guy liked it a lot!
shareI guess you didn't get the reference
shareThere was a reference?

shareNow I kind of understand why a lot of people don't like her.
Also isn't "A Wrinkle in Time" a massive failure both financially and critically?
The attitude of "we don't make movies for men" is really what modern feminism is about, isn't it? Another sign that it is not limited to just Kathleen Kennedy, it is a part of wider Disney agenda.
its jsut so dumb on so many levels what she said
1. say that about any other group but white men and it would be called sexist and racist
2. while some films may certainly target demographics, trying to narrow your viewers and insulting a whole group, especially the biggest movie going audience (white men). also if we apply this same "logic" it means the marvels according to Brie wasnt made for "while males".

Wonder Woman is a more typically feminine superhero, who doesn't focus much on beating people up. That movie also had a major romance plotline, which.....shockingly.....women like. Oh, and Wonder Woman also has a sexy costume.
Captain Marvel could be a dyke for all we know. Her costume is not allowed to be sexy, ever, at any point. Her main personality trait is being able to beat men up. She is cold, snarky, aggressive.
Isn't it odd that women who cosplay dress up in almost pornographic costumes, but female marvel superheroes are stricty forbidden from being sexually appealing to men in anyway.

"feminists, feminist lesbians, and feminist nonbinaries make up a disproportionate part of the demographic -relative to actual women- of superhero genre fanbase"
Oh Good Grief

let me guess it cost somewhere between $250- $300 million to make.
