One person's cult is another person's religion. As long as it's giving them hope and inspiration, it's all good.

Avengers: Endgame isn't worth taking the effort to issue a spoiler, or beat anyone up for issuing a spoiler on it.
Infinity War was far better.

I don't mean to be argumentative with you, you've been quite tolerant of my responses which I know can come off abrasive,
It's not personal toward me, it's a discussion. You've been cool and reasonable the whole time. You usually are.
but when the ideology is based off of falsehoods and tearing down some in other to build up others its not good. I'll leave it there.
Maybe I'm ignorant of some incidents or aspects of this (I do tend to mind my own business), but all I'm really responding to are the characters themselves as portrayed in the films and how some groups, which are usually under-represented, now have people to identity with in high profile, heroic roles.
This pretty much, for me, leaves out actors with an axe to grind or a film studio who pummels the message down throats with ads. Captain Marvel's promos, for example, stress the HER in HERO. But the film itself don't call a lot of attention to it and even my wife didn't see it as more than a fun action film with a good female lead.
The "girl power" scene in Endgame WAS a tad obvious, especially in comparison to a more subtle and fun scene in Infinity War.
As for female role models, honestly, I do prefer Ellen Ripley: no powers, just a ballsy and brave personality. Smart, tough and still sensitive. A very well rounded character.
Anyways, we derailed the hell out of this.
