The issue is that that shot exists for the sole purpose of telling us just that "women = badass". But then they don't do anything!
It's jarring because all the action stops so they can "show how badass they are", then they continue the action.
Why not actually have them do badass things instead?
Was there a shot where Cap, Ironman, thor, hulk, spiderman, doctor strange, etc all lined up and did a "badass" pose?
No, it wasn't necessary because their action sequences show it.
That's why there was a fuss. Tokenism. It's SJWs pandering, and it's ruining all forms of entertainment.
If you think this shot is empowering to women you're an idiot.

Was she frowning before this scene?
What bothers me about the slavery bit is that people are stupid enough to believe it. MCU fans are not known for their intelligence.
We can't criticize scenes in a movie now? The other side doesn't get shit for just complaining. It's a bit more than that.

MCU perhaps, what of lighting our darkest hour with robot balls destroying slave built pyramids? No respect.

We are all slaves, and we fight like rats for fiat currency that is constantly being devalued. The globalists constantly raise property tax, family tax, and death tax while issuing ever-increasing debt and usury.
Slavery will end when we burn the printing press and defund the Federal Reserve Bank.

I don’t understand how that article comes to the conclusion that they weren’t slaves.
buried in mass graves with traditions of the times. Had 3 month shifts. Ate food.

Really don't have a problem with any of the scenes mentioned.
Although I am kinda afraid after the events of this year that this stuff will dial up to 11.

Slaves didn't build the pyramids.Slaves built the pyramids. Is she too far up her own ass for that too?
I bet a 40 year old fat white guy wrote that line too.
Fucking sad sacks.
So, Was the Washington Monument Built by Slaves?
Fact-checking the best line in Spider-Man: Homecoming.www.vulture.com
Spider-Man: Homecoming Says the Washington Monument Was Built by Slaves. Was It?
Listen up, Michelle.slate.com
Was the Washington Monument constructed using slave labor?
Answer (1 of 9): The short answer is no. It was started by a group who wanted a monument to Washington that would be built by citizens. At first they limited how much any one person could give which they thought would widen the donor pool. They believed it would be a truly national monument if do...www.quora.com
We have records of the pay the workers received, incidents of them going on strike, receiving bonuses and the tomb of one of their chief architects who was born as a dirt poor peasant, but worked his way up through merit to be incredibly rich and powerful, answerable only to the Pharaoh.
The Ancient Egyptians were of course utter bastards in other was, and would in some periods enslave the armies they defeated, but the whole slaves built the pyramids thing is just based on Judeo-Christian mythology.

O-N-E is this true wtf
You're having a laugh which is all well and good, but there are a lot more significant discrepancies between archeological / geological findings and the Torah. Some are more a matter of interpretation or a piece of a puzzle yet to be found, while others would be a lot more difficult to explain. At the end of the day, what we don't have absolute concrete proof of, remains so.
However, the Torah never mentions the pyramids to begin with, so your outrage is stupid.

The worst part of this scene is that they are supposed to help Cpt. Marvel, a demigod that can destroy with zero effort space cruisers and beat Thanos in raw strength...but somehow they think they are going to be helpfull. Also it happens after an amazing scene with lots of heroes collaborating on helping Peter move around with the Gauntlet. Like the whole movie motto is "we need everybody" but this scene said "we don't need the guys". Bullshit.

"Hawass said the builders came from poor families from the north and the south, and were respected for their work – so much so that those who died during construction were bestowed the honour of being buried in the tombs near the sacred pyramids of their pharaohs."
"preserved by dry sand along with jars of beer and bread for the afterlife."
"The skeletons were found buried in a foetal position – the head pointing to the west and the feet to the east according to ancient Egyptian beliefs, surrounded by jars once filled with supplies for afterlife."
This sounds like a respectful burial, I'm no archeologist, but it doesn't seem like slaves would be offered such respect. It's not like their bodies were just tossed into a pile.

Let's be honest though, if it was released today it'd be called SJW virtue signalling garbage by people, I mean come on, they cast a black actor for a character who was white in the comics, they gave Catwoman a more empowered story, etc.
In the same way people push for "wokeness" we've also gone backwards in what changes we used to be ok and now everything is just a damn argument from either side.

You’ll get no argument from me there. I find it all incredibly tiresome, either people claiming shit isn’t woke enough or it’s too woke, or people getting mad at people like me who think they’re all a bunch of babies when I just care if the movie is good or not.

Can I just go off on a tangent here to say that this is the shittiest way to say you disagree with someone but you don’t care enough to get into an actual discussion?

This might just be a nitpick, but one thing that always pissed me off about this is that The Wasp is front and center when it makes no sense for her to be there. She's supposedly helping Ant-Man getting the van working again, yet she appears here for a stupid agenda shot. I love the MCU for the most part, but this is one of the worst 10 seconds out of all of them. It's so pandering, that it's painful to watch.
