There's been two successful female-led capeshit movies this last decade. Captain Marvel benefitted from a then growing MCU and the (false) marketing angle of it being a core piece of Endgame. Wonderwoman was a catharsis release for all the feminists who demanded female capeshit movies. The sequels to both were flops because the success of the first wasn't driven by genuine interest.

I always like to point out that Captain Marvel outgrossed every solo Batman and Spiderman movie to that point (unadjusted). There isn't a single person on this planet who believes Captain Marvel is more well known than either of two.

because they are still trying to appeal to former tumblerina millennials as they started doing heavily since 2015
Since they are basically the only female internet demographic that writes (other femoids prefer videos and pics on normie social media), studios pretend they are somehow their "female demographics" they want so much
It was bad that they catered to them back then, but it's beyond cringe now that tumblerinas are firmly middle-aged.
Middle-aged femoid weirdo spinsters have always been targets of ridicule by society over history, it's time to start ridiculing their views on popular media

Women only see capeshit with their boyfriends so they can drag those same boyfriends to their musicals. You will never find a group of single women seeing a superhero movie together. No matter who the superhero is. And that goes for Star Wars, video game movies, etc.
>>
>>221342937
Women fuck serial killers, child rapists, dogs and browns/blacks. Who gives a shit what they think? I mean this for real. Their political views only involve sex (abortion, birth control, promiscuity etc) and replacement immigration. When left to their own devices they’re retarded.
I love women but I don’t give two shits about their thoughts because I’ve rarely been impressed or surprised by what they say. And working with women is never enjoyable in the long run especially when they start pecking at each other like chickens.

It worked because Wonder Woman is actually a woman in the movie. She falls in love (with a guy!), she likes babies, she has emotions. Compare that to Captain Marvel who's a sexless, loveless, stoic "badass" that nobody can relate to or like. Supergirl is similar but more like a drunk, depressed mess. Which again is not something a lot of people want to see.
>>
>>221342435
When you write girl romance shit, you need some spark. Guy romance is easy, because give them a good looking slut, and you pretty fine. Girl need fire and water, ice and hot, people that disagree + the guy has to be hot and not too hot that its unrealistic but realistic enough that female audience is aware they have zero chance.

The two parts combined make over $330M (cost to $350M if you include the combined re-release) on a $60M total budget.
Over $600M adjusting for inflation.

Female superheroes can be cool if the movie they're in at least looks appealing. Most of them don't.
A lot of boys like the Powerpuff Girls cartoon, because it was fun, had cool action scenes, memorable villains, and the Girls were likable characters.

Men AND women want to see manly men doing manly things in action, sci-fi, war films. They want to see the beautiful maiden that inspires and drives the manly man to heights he never could have reached without her inspiration. Fucking NOBODY wants to watch girlboss slop. It looks dumb as fuck to both men AND women because we've grown up around each other and know exactly how much stronger, faster, and downright tougher men are compared to women.

Hollywood used to understand their audience, and they would cast accordingly, and make sure the writing reflected the genre so the audience got exactly what they wanted, and what they expected to get. Today they deliberately insult the audience and try to force bullshit characters and stories down their throat, but the audience is wise to them now.

No. They won't. Because they're fucking stupid. They are a minority niche film for a small market. Made with a small budget, and they can make money, but they don't appeal to the mass audience.
>two parts made over $330mil
That's worldwide. They tanked domestically. Vol 1 earned $70 mil domestic, and Vol 2 couldn't even earn that taking in only $66 mil. Reported budget of $110 mil for both, add another $55 mil for marketing, and that means total estimated costs of $165 mil, meaning they needed at least $330 mil worldwide just to break even, which they barely did thanks to the foreign market.

Only Tarantino fans and beta simps watched the Kill Bill girl boss slop films. It was rejected by the audience at large. As are most girlboss slop films.

lol what? No, the combined budget was $60 mil ($30M each). Even if it earned $0 internationally (since for some reason you claim only domestic money counts) it still did well.

BTW, since you don't count any of the international box office you should also exclude the international budget (since a lot of it was filmed in Asia and had Asian actors). So the domestic budget is like $30M total against $136M domestic box office. Breddy gud.

>>221343500
There's a separation in that Ballerina is a spinoff trying to coast on the popular original format (John Wick).
Supergirl has a similar problem, she's her own character, but exists in relation to Superman. Doubly so in the movie world, anyone who doesn't read comics or watch cartoons has no point of reference other than a side character to the actually popular character.
>>221341076
Which makes Wonder Woman an interesting exception, since she has name recognition and a mythology of her own.
>>221345195
Another good example. Alita IS the star, not a side project, not some derivative to a popular franchise.
People don't have a problem with Ripley, they watched Xena. Jean Grey and Mystique were basically co-leads in the X-Men movies (even if they turn increasingly cringe with writing they made money and lots of them). Wandavision was extremely popular.

The question of why the movies don't work is imo primarily about the material not being good enough, rather than the concept of a woman led movie or show itself.
>>

Obviously not. Doesn’t discount the fact she isn’t a wrestler and never was. She’s a mediocre striker. Stop acting like she’s Amanda Nunes

Al female action movies are either horror final girls, ridiculous cartoon level like Kill Bill or Underworld or the females were not Mary Sues. Sarah Connor was not a Mary Sue. She started off weak, toughened up but did not defeat T1000 all by herself. Same with Ripley and Katnis. Katnis wasn’t beating up guys. She had one skill, a bow which doesn’t require physical strength

there's a market but they have to be full on titty pictures to get the market interested
this applies to female and gay audiences as well. There's a reason there is this nostalgia for Lynda Carter Wonder Woman, Elektra , Catwoman, etc

>>221341034
No one wants to see girlboss.

Here's the version of this movie that works just based on what I understand of the plot:
>Supergirl has lost her planet, doesn't know what to do, feels alone, can't relate to Clark because he's an Earthling basically
>but Krypto makes her feel better about herself and like she has a friend
>krypto gets stolen/kidnapped/whatever
>Supergirl has to get him back, audience understands because everyone loves their pets
>Supergirl is kind of shit at using her powers because she never has before and is scared, not knowing how much she can do or handle
>meet Lobo who is a no fucks given space bounty hunter and secretly there's a bounty on her as well as a kryptonian and he's looking to collect both her AND Krypto for the bounty so if he follows her he'll get both
>goes to capture her just talking to her first, but she wins his heart telling him about her lost planet because he's the last of his kind too with no friends and understands wanting to save Krypto
>Lobo acts as the muscle while Supergirl acts as the heart, she softens his edge a bit getting him not to just outright kill people he doesn't have to, he teaches her how to toughen up in a cruel universe and use her powers when necessary and not to be afraid
>end of act 2 revelation that Lobo was just using her at first to get the bounty on her and she runs away from him, feeling betrayed because the one person she came to think of as a friend started out looking to hunt her
>Lobo feels bad about it and in the final act shows up to save her and Krypto against bad guy

It's so simple. This is boilerplate three act odd couple arc writing. Instead they once again have their female lead who's strong and infallible who don't need saving and is just as ass kicking competent as the guys from the start, so she's got no where to go in character development.

>>Kill Bill
I don't agree that that's a good film series.
>>Alien
>>Aliens
Neither of these were "girlboss" films. What made Ripley such a compelling character was the fact that she WASN'T a "girlboss". To the credit of the writers, Ripley always kept her femininity, was a reluctant leader, and did what she did out of necessity in Alien, and out of a maternal instinct in Aliens. Great character, but not a "girlboss".
>>Terminator
>>Terminator II
Sarah Connors in Terminator was along for the ride with Reese, and T-2 she was Arnolds' sidekick, and she too, like Ripley, was acting as a result of a strong maternal instinct. It's that maternal instinct and femininity that endeared her to the audience.

I agree with you 100% that both Ripley and Sarah Connors were excellent female characters, but I don't agree that characters like Cpt Marvel, or the chicks from the Charlies Angels reboot, or hardly any other modern female characters come close to them. Today the "girlboss" has her femininity stripped away and is little more than a woman trying to wear a mansuit, and the audience just doesn't relate to that.

No "girlboss" in that film imo.

Good flick, but Agent Starling wasn't a "girlboss". She never lost her femininity and was vulnerable. The audience related to her exactly because she was feminine and vulnerable, and yet prevailed.

Yes, and by actually having her be somewhat feminine, being in love with a man, caring for life, this supergirl movie isn’t much different than the Captain Marvel movie where she’s acting pist off, like she doesn’t wanna be there, hates men, and only made a billion because of Avengers

They had a really cool premise of Ares becoming an abstract concept of unstoppable war but instead collapsed him into a standard capeshit villain that shoots laser beams instead of making a point (literally the Lord of War film did Ares better than this and there was no cartoon metaphysics in that film).
there was the bones of a good script, scrapped in the 3rd Act.

I am not seething because the facts agree with me which is why you haven't refuted them. In fact your entire argument is nothing but somehow claiming that money doesn't exist outside the US. Do you have a source for this claim? Because I travel a lot and every country I have traveled to, things cost money so I do not know why you are claiming that money outside the US doesn't exist. Even stranger that you claim money spent outside the US counts but money earned outside the US doesn't. I don't think any studio would be disappointed by Ne Zha 2, but you think it was one of the biggest flops of all time because you are a coping brainlet

With male superheroes there are alot of great, interesting stories to draw from, but with superheroines there is very little in DC's case, and literally none at all in Marvel's case (Marvel, in its 60 odd years, has not produced even one decent story about any of their women).

Marvel ruined Scarlet Witch just as she was becoming popular by imitating the retarded Bendis-penned stories from the comics.

> Noel Coward famously argued that if a writer has a philosophy or political message, they must be "a good enough craftsman to do it with so much spice of entertainment in it that the public get the message without being aware of it".

Alas most modern writers subscribe to the Garth Marenghi attitude of "subtext is for cowards."

>>221346614
I don't understand why execs are fine with injecting women into male dominated hobbies and thinking they will just fit in. It can work sometimes. Various anime like Ranma, Demon Slayer, FMA, etc that were written by women end up very popular with men. But the running theme is that these works, despite being written by women, are written in a way that doesn't lecture men for liking things that they like and being how they naturally are.

But whatever the west has been trying with this female injection shit hasn't been working.

It's because they unironically think that the male audience is captive to the IP or brand and will support it regardless. The idea that fans of something might stop becoming fans of it if it gets turned into something that panders to a completely different demographic (or outright insults them while doing so) is completely foreign to them.

My girlfriend really liked the couples in the early MCU films. She loved seeing Tony and Pepper, and Cap and Peggy. Like most people, she lost interest in the MCU after Endgame, but for her, the lack of couples is one of the reasons why. I didn’t even notice this until she pointed it out to me, but the new heroes almost never have any love interests. Even characters who used to have them got separated from their partners, like Doctor Strange and Star-Lord.

She's actually looking forward to the new Spider-Man, not because of Grey Hulk or Jean Grey, but because she wants to see if Peter and MJ will get back together. I’m not sure if Marvel is just incompetent and no one in focus groups pointed this out to them, or if they’re just so deep in woke ideology that they refuse to give women what they actually want.

as much as i dislike king, the problem is that they gave supergirl to someone with no experience beyond a short movie and two plays, and then gave her teen titans and wonder woman before they got any feedback on supergirl.

Supergirl is just kinda boring. Wonder Woman already has the girlboss thing going with a hint of BDSM to it, meanwhile Power Girl has the sex and humor appeal so Supergirl can't do that either. Her being an alcoholic failure who redeems herself at the end would have worked but it would then upset women and upped the age-rating much higher because of booze.

Their best bet would be to look at the best part of the 1984s film which was Helen Slater herself. She did a virtuous wide-eyed innocent-but-not-stupid character who was quite charming and endearing.

But obviously that's absolutely anathema to the current Hollywood mindset, so, well, here we are.
