Trolls Start Targeting CAPTAIN MARVEL On Rotten Tomatoes As Opening Weekend Projections Rise
Well, this is sad. Ahead of Captain Marvel's release early next month, sexist trolls have taken to Rotten Tomatoes to share their thoughts on a movie they haven't even seen yet. Read more after the jump...
Brie Larson has been vocal about wanting Captain Marvel to inspire young girls and women of all ages, while she's also talked about making things like the movie's press tour more inclusive so she's being interviewed by more than just middle-aged, white men (which, trust me, is what most junkets look like).
Well, a lot of people aren't happy about that or the fact Marvel Studios is releasing a movie with a female lead, and fake reviews have started flooding Rotten Tomatoes.
There are gems like "Larson has made it clear...men need not attend this movie," "Looks like their set to ruin a franchise !!" and "This weird random made up super hero looks like Homer Simpson. Not interested." Wow.
Unfortunately for these guys, if the hope is that these "reviews" will hurt Captain Marvel in some way, then it's not working so far. The Hollywood Reporter's box office experts have revealed that tracking for the movie's opening weekend has surged to $120 million. That's a $20 million increase in the past week or so!
In other words, this is going to be a hit, and with social media reactions reportedly on the way later today, we'll soon have a much more accurate idea about what to expect from the hero's big screen debut.
