Adami,
I really don't appreciate you categorizing me as "defensive" with the "you guys" comment. I just think it stands to reason that a middle-age white guy, who is a comic book fan, can go into a movie and simply not like it because he is not the type of audience its looking to corral. And there's nothing wrong with that. I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I will like it. Maybe I won't. But if I don't, and the reason is because it is meant for a different age bracket, or aimed at a different gender, I shouldn't be ripped to shreds for it.
The comic I read, Captain Marvel #1 (which I got halfway through) - was clearly intended for a different audience. I thought it was terrible, and stopped reading. I'm not wrong for disliking it, nor am I likely wrong for the reason.
That's not being defensive, that's just calling it how I interpreted it.
I have no qualms with what the actress said, but that said, it shouldn't be a crime for a 40-something white guy to not like a film because it panders to a different audience. The comic book industry gets most of its money these days from middle-age people. We're the ones with the disposable income. So if they put out a movie or a product that panders to a different audience, that's fine, and I get it, but it shouldn't be wrong for someone to politely point out why he may not like it.
Personally, I hope when I see it, that I'll like it. And if I don't, I really hope people here, if I end up saying that, don't attack someone for explaining the reason why (if that indeed ends up being the reason).
