The new trailer for The Marvels, featuring Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms. Marvel, was recently released and has received a large number of dislikes on Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube channel. The trailer, which received 214K dislikes compared to 318K likes, seems to have been targeted by a group of fans who dislike-bomb trailers as a form of protest.
Political “Wokeness” Claims
Many of the fans who dislike-bombed the trailer seem to be making a political statement, claiming that Marvel Studios is too “woke” due to the film’s focus on three female heroes. Some fans have left comments on the YouTube post expressing their anger and hoping for the film to fail. However, other trailers that were also criticized, such as Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Morbius, did not receive nearly as many dislikes on YouTube.
Unfair Hate For Groundbreaking MCU Projects
It is important to note that The Marvels is not the only MCU project to receive hate from fans. Projects such as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Ms. Marvel have also been subject to discriminatory hate from some fans. Unfortunately, these projects are being set up to fail by fans who view the MCU through a biased political lens, which not only divides fans but also unfairly impacts the hardworking people involved in creating these groundbreaking projects.
Celebrating Diversity And Representation
Despite the hate, it is important to celebrate the fact that The Marvels will feature three powerful characters on-screen together and has the potential to deliver a compelling story. The film is set to be released in theaters on November 10, and fans should give it a fair chance to succeed. Ultimately, diversity and representation should be celebrated and embraced in the world of entertainment.
