Gerry Conway blaming men for this failure

"I'm so disappointed by "Birds of Prey" box office and what it says about the male audience for superhero films. Here's my controversial take (don't hate me): the movie didn't pull teenage boys because Margot Robbie didn't want Harley Quinn to be sexualized as she was in SS."

"Captain Marvel" and "Wonder Woman" were hits because they provided superhero powers, big special effects, and, yeah, beautiful women who looked good in tight fitting outfits. To her credit, Margot Robbie wanted to challenge the need for any of that."

"Unfortunately what she may have proved (who can say off one movie) is that the male audience for superhero movies isn't as mature as we'd like to hope, and the female audience isn't large enough to compensate."

Who in their right mind thinks Brea Larson "looked good" in a tight fitting outfit? I've seen stuffed garbage bags that have a more appealing form. Shessh!
Poor Gerry. He needs to get back on his meds and take more naps. Have you seen this guy lately?

I quite enjoyed Birds Of Prey, if I'm honest.

I also enjoyed Wonder Woman. But that had nothing to do with skimpy costumes, it was just an enjoyable film.

Haven't seen Captain Marvel yet, but intend to.
