Trolls Start Targeting CAPTAIN MARVEL On Rotten Tomatoes As Opening Weekend Projections Rise

Well, this is sad. Ahead of Captain Marvel's release early next month, sexist trolls have taken to Rotten Tomatoes to share their thoughts on a movie they haven't even seen yet. Read more after the jump...

Brie Larson has been vocal about wanting Captain Marvel to inspire young girls and women of all ages, while she's also talked about making things like the movie's press tour more inclusive so she's being interviewed by more than just middle-aged, white men (which, trust me, is what most junkets look like). 

Well, a lot of people aren't happy about that or the fact Marvel Studios is releasing a movie with a female lead, and fake reviews have started flooding Rotten Tomatoes. 

There are gems like "Larson has made it clear...men need not attend this movie," "Looks like their set to ruin a franchise !!" and "This weird random made up super hero looks like Homer Simpson. Not interested." Wow.

Unfortunately for these guys, if the hope is that these "reviews" will hurt Captain Marvel in some way, then it's not working so far. The Hollywood Reporter's box office experts have revealed that tracking for the movie's opening weekend has surged to $120 million. That's a $20 million increase in the past week or so! 

In other words, this is going to be a hit, and with social media reactions reportedly on the way later today, we'll soon have a much more accurate idea about what to expect from the hero's big screen debut.

@Acuppacoffee - You don't need to capitalise it, lol, I already saw it when I made my comment. Again, I don't think that's exclusionary. Not everything is made specifically for white men. Here's a quote from Ava DuVernay: "It means everything to be a girl of color and play Meg Murry because Meg Murry is, in the books, a Caucasian little girl. It’s just surreal because I get to empower other little African-American girls around the world and say that you can be a superhero and you rock and you can conquer the world and you are beautiful just the way you are and your flaws are nothing and you’re awesome. It feels really good to be able to inspire not only little girls [but] everyone." DuVernay didn't just make the film for 'little African-American girls', but everyone, so as I said before, what Larson said was poorly worded. But DuVernay did make the film in large part to help represent young girls and what they think of it is important as a result. Which is what I think/hope Larson was getting at.

Everyone is entitled to see a film. And everyone is entitled to share their opinion on it. But that doesn't mean everyone has to listen to or read every opinion. That's just my opinion though

They did the same with The Last Jedi and Black Panther, so they’re nothing if not consistent.

@PlusUltra - no comparison between those 2 imo.

TLJ was destroyed by SJWs. BP had that race message but clearly didn't hurt or drove the story to me.
