It seems to be men who feel this way, but women, even superheroes over the years, are always out there with their boobs hanging out and short skirts fighting the bad guys until a man of some sort helps. We're FINALLY in an age where female superheroes are not just eye candy, but can stand on their own without men always helping them. To be honest, the Marvel franchise has ignored all of the women superheroes until now (and Black Widow is getting a movie NOW after so many years?!?!?!).
Little boys and girls need to see that men and women are equal and that goes with there being super-powered beings. No one complains of the closeups of the Avengers Assemble charge with it being led by ALL men, so why complain about giving a shout out to all of the super-powered women without calling it a social justice pander or to appease snowflakes? It's time we had more female representation in the superhero world without it always being damsels in distress.
Sorry if this is too much of a rant, but I'm just not understanding the hate this short 10-20 second scene gets from men.
I understand complaints saying it felt forced as the way it was staged just felt too in your face and obvious what they were doing. If they simply had the women assisting without all stopping during the middle of the battle to gather themselves and say what they were doing I don't think you'd get much complaints.
Watching the deleted scenes on Disney+, there was another scene where everyone kind of stopped and gathered during the battle to collect themselves, so it seems to be something that they realized was an issue but probably couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution. I think the same version of the scene in Infinity War where Black Widow comes to the rescue was executed much better and its clearly what they were going for and just couldn't find the right way to portray it on screen.
