Why was there a boycott against Brie Larson for Captain Marvel?

As you know, Captain Marvel – 60% faced the wrath of misogynistic trolls for having the audacity to say they didn’t care what white critics thought of the movie Time Journey – 43%. Although the majority of the public surely shares the feeling of low esteem towards the press, a woman cannot say that and so they decided to make the film, and the Oscar-winning actress, their goal for years.

But it was not the only one. own Ms MarvelShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law – 74% and up to Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power – 90% have gone through similar campaigns. Well, even Barbie herself – 88% faced the tremendous tantrums of semi-popular men on the Internet who, unsuccessfully, tried to intimidate Mattel by promoting a boycott by burning dolls of the brand. Their tantrums were so unsuccessful that the film ended up being the highest grossing of the year so far and they ended up swallowing their anger.
