PLEASE share your observations and insights to be posted here.
First of all, I had no idea there was going to be a lesbian storyline between the protagonist Dani (Moonstar) and Rahne (Wolf girl). They showed these girls (the characters are TEEN girls mind you) kissing multiple times and in the showers shirtless with their backs shown (no nudes) oogling each other. In the era of #metoo, pedophiles, and child trafficking, this was unbelievably able to pass in Hollywood.
And, of course, the entire agenda had to be thrown in there. The director made a Catholic priest the antagonist for the wolf girl and the subject of her darkest fears, and Tara and Willow (the lesbian couple from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) as her idols.
The other characters were stereotypical teen characters without much substance except for maybe Sam (Cannonball from Kentucky).
The special effects were meh, the storyline flat, and the overall quality of the film was inferior to any previous Marvel films. We had a socially distanced audience, but it was filled to its capacity and barely anyone laughed at the “comedic” jokes and one-liners, and only two people clapped at the end and that quickly died down when they realized none of us were joining them. I wouldn’t waste my time.
