Captain Marvel’s ratings attacked by trolls, Rotten Tomatoes audience score falls to 40%

Hindustan Times  

In another instance of a situation that is becoming all too common, a major female-led film has been attacked by online trolls. Captain Marvel’s audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, which allows users to post comments and rating ahead of a film’s release, has fallen to 40%. With more than a week left before Captain Marvel is unveiled, star Brie Larson’s outspoken feminism seems to be the bone of contention. Several hateful comments about Captain Marvel, according to HuffPost referenced a recent interview in which Larson had called for a broader pool of journalists writing about films, which she said was ‘overwhelmingly white male.’ She told Marie Claire, “I do not need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work for him about ‘A Wrinkle in Time.’ It wasn’t made for him. These are not my feelings.” Captain Marvel’s ‘want to see’ score has fallen from over 90% to 40% in a matter of days.
