I don't wanna give that a view lol
Cliff notes of what it says is the agenda in the movie?
Like Marvel has done some clear agenda stuff like that scene where Thanos was attacking one of the female avengers and he said something like she's alone and then like every female character in the movie showed up saying she wasn't alone and they all grouped together for a cringey picture lol
This video provides a detailed breakdown of why the recent *Supergirl* film underperformed at the box office, challenging the *New York Times* narrative that attributed the failure to misogyny (0:24-0:45).
**Key Takeaways regarding the *Supergirl* flop:**
* **Audience Composition:** Contrary to the claim that a "male misogynist" audience rejected the film, 59% of the opening weekend audience was male, meaning the demographic supposedly responsible for the backlash was actually the primary group purchasing tickets (1:53-2:08).
* **Marketing Mismatch:** The studio centered their marketing strategy on *Gen Z women*, yet that target audience largely failed to show up. Simultaneously, the film's star made comments during the press tour that alienated the core male fan base who ultimately made up the majority of the theater attendance (4:25-5:12).
* **Historical Context:** This is the second time a *Supergirl* film has flopped, with the 1984 version also failing commercially. This suggests the issue is specific to the character's unproven status as a box-office draw rather than a broader rejection of female superheroes (5:59-6:35).
* **The "Formula" for Success:** The video contrasts *Supergirl* with successful films like *Wonder Woman* (which succeeded on high quality) and *Captain Marvel* (which benefited from the massive momentum of the *MCU*). It argues that *Supergirl* lacked both franchise gravity and a strong, non-cynical narrative hook (6:50-8:45).
**Conclusion:** The creator concludes that the film's failure was a result of a $290 million budget being applied to an unproven character with a misguided marketing strategy, rather than a moral failing of the audience. The video posits that framing business losses as a result of societal "misogyny" is a deflection tactic used by studios to avoid admitting poor strategic decisions (14:14-16:49).
