Probably not the best thing to bring up, but I have a harder and harder time wrapping my head around why certain people thought Captain Marvel would flop before it came out, to say nothing of some of them insisting that it actually did and that Disney somehow covered it up. It was only yesterday when I realized that, considering the domestic viewing audience skewed more towards women than most comic book movies do, that said insistence comes across as horrifically sexist gatekeeping to boot. Dunces can't fathom the idea people other than them could possibly make something a hit.

I'd ask how Wonder Woman was largely able to avoid this kind of backlash, but I guess the DCEU wasn't on their radars at the time.
