Her being portrayed a man would not make the character any better, he would still be a bland character.

There are 3 issues with the movie, and none of them has to do with carol being a women, or fury being a black or a man.

1. She had no personality: She was surrounded by an ocean of strong personalities, she had none, I mean what would I describe her as? This is not her fault, it’s the writers fault, for giving her the personality of a banana. Like when she found out Yon-Rogg killed the MOST important person in her life, killed the CLOSEST thing she had to a mother, there was nothing

2. She had no character growth, growth maketh the hero, she was never weak, she was never broken, she was never losing, she never game up, she started of strong, and ended stronger, she started off as the imperfect kree warrior and ended as the perfect kree warrior.

3. We do not feel invested in her, and this is basically a combination of the previous points, I mean, I was more invested in monica, i was all “Ah yeah, she gonna inherit the mantle of captain marvel” or maybe she steps up herself, with her own superpowers.

I wanted the movie to kickass, I wanted the movie to be on the level of Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man and Captain America.

I wanted this movie to be a kickass prequel to Endgame, I wanted this movie to be good in every way.

I mean take a look and Wonder Woman, the essence of wonder women is she got the strength of superman but is actually not afraid to kill, she can be fucking brutal in combat.

We have her grow from a young, kind innocent girl to grow into an inquisitive, brave young woman who does not back down from any difficulties, when a man somehow crashes onto the island, she leaves the only home that she knows, to enter a world she knows nothing about, to fight a war that is not hers, going from the utopia Themyscira into early 1900s london creates a sharp contrast.

But one of the most important thing is her suit is the best i’ve seen, I remember seeing the one from the tv-series that was earlier, and a fucking PORN movie had a better suit for her, but for Wonder Woman, the suit did not wear her, she wore the suit, she made the suit.

I mean the only bad things about wonder women is the villains did not get the characterization needed to give the impact needed.

Diana from the entering london faces sexism from powerful men who doubts her intelligence and power, but she shows them, and you can see it in combat, I mean the cgi is a bit bleh, but when she fights and others, she shows off the strength of amazons, she seems like she is dancing in combat, with every important character having their own distinct style of combat, this movie here takes what makes wonder woman into wonder woman, and does not hide it under the excuse of feminism or sexism, but she is empowered as it, Gol Gadot will be remembered as Wonder Woman, while Brie Larson will fade away.

While neither movie was bad, Wonder Woman was a far more empowering as a character compared to Captain Marvel who was bland.
