"Strong female = BAD!" Stuff
I still don't see how this is that kind of thing. Because it does not seem to have what people are claiming besides evil male and strong femaleYes, you are wrong. There have been all kinds of strong female characters in the past who not only didn't generate this kind of reaction, but were celebrated. This includes Black Widow, incidentally. But there are some very straightforward and obvious differences with what the woke crowd considers to be a strong female character, and this tends to go hand-in-hand with how they treat men. The "strong female = bad" narrative is a leftist lie to deflect criticism of their writing and characters.
That may be, and I haven't seen the film myself so I can't really be sure one way or the other; but you can't deny that the people behind the film said what they said, so is it really that out of the question might go into the film expecting it to be thinly veiled regressive leftist propaganda?I can see why for both of those, but this one literally has NOTHING that they were saying, and seems to be another one of those "Strong female = BAD!" Stuff
Eh, some people do; but I just attribute that to hyper-sensitivity thanks to the regressive left constantly pushing their ideological narrative to the point where it's easy to see it everywhere.That's just a leftist narrative. No one thinks that.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you simply have terrible taste? Just throwing that out there.
Variety said:In a court filing on Thursday, Johansson said Disney’s decision to send the Marvel movie to Disney Plus at the same time it was released in theaters cost her millions of dollars in backend compensation. Those bonuses were tied to hitting box office benchmarks that “Black Widow” likely won’t achieve. Disney is countering that it complied with the terms of Johansson’s deal to star in the Avengers spinoff film.
Variety said:“It’s no secret that Disney is releasing films like ‘Black Widow’ directly onto Disney Plus to increase subscribers and thereby boost the company’s stock price — and that it’s hiding behind COVID-19 as a pretext to do so,” John Berlinski, an attorney for Johansson, said in a statement to Variety. “But ignoring the contracts of the artists responsible for the success of its films in furtherance of this short-sighted strategy violates their rights and we look forward to proving as much in court. This will surely not be the last case where Hollywood talent stands up to Disney and makes it clear that, whatever the company may pretend, it has a legal obligation to honor its contracts.”
As Berlinski suggests, Johansson’s lawsuit could impact the way that movie stars are compensated in the streaming era and may inspire a wave of fresh legal action by actors upset that their films are not exclusively debuting in theaters.
And they could have used it to build into the black widow movie! Like, the fun it sounds like they had way back whenFifty million is pocket change for Disney. I hope she gets every penny. And maybe cool things to emerge in discovery. Chances are there will be a settlement of course.
Disney looks like it screwed her over though one final time though with how it handled her character saga. Fifty million should help rectify no Black Widow & Hawkeye movie a decade ago which would've almost automatically made a billion dollars well before any pandemic...
