Endgame. With pseudo spoilers.

So am I being oversensitive or did Disney go a step too far with endgame?

The systematic emasculation of all the traditional male characters was bad enough, what with kinder gentler Hulk reduced to being a bit part joke, social conscience Captain America - that circle scene was totally unnecessary imo - and Thor reduced to buffoonery.

Then we had the lined up "female characters getting it done while the men fail" in the giant battle scene. What's wrong with a co-ed version? I'm fine with equality. Let's try showing some.

Ditto with the new Captain America shield passing. Another setup that wasn't really needed.

I may have been put in a pi$$y mood because the Star Wars trailer before the film was more of the same. And yes I know it's a pattern. White male bad.

They've been on this for a while...female protanganists in cars 3, frozen, brave just to name a few

Remember that everyone needs to be counted and represented regardless of the reality of the storyline, compromise as long as everyone gets to play

I'm not sour about the situation, maybe it's just blantantly obvious what they're trying to convey

Don't forget the obvious "shoehorned in" character of captain marvel who's overpowered to the degree that it removes any stakes in the movie. They are systematically replacing all of the heroes with female's. I think Endgame may have been the end of the MCU as we know it.

In Infinity Wars, I don't remember Thanos getting injured when he snapped his fingers. Only when he tried to destroy the stones. Makes the whole thing stupid from that point.

His arm was wrecked after the snap in Infinity War. The gauntlet was melted and fused to his arm.
