Is the “WW got good reviews because feminism” argument dead?

I don’t really see how that changes anything. If anything, that’s even more ridiculous of a notion than this idea that critics would take pity on a single movie.

The ridiculous notion that critics would take pity on a single movie was all yours, chum.

If critics thought that BvS and SS were bad (which they did) why would they take pity on the franchise that spawned those films?

I even provided an example of when pity results in disproportionate adulation. Do I have to repeat it again, or can you find your way back to my previous post?

The DCEU fell flat on its face with BvS and SS. It wasn’t apparent that this was going to be the norm until Justice League came out. When WW was released there was still some sympathy for the fledgling DCEU and the difficulties it was having. Just read the reviews. Today, the general consensus is that DC simply doesn't give a shit, so pity boosters will be in short supply for any future DC movies.

I clearly stated that your notion that critics were taking pity on a franchise is more ridiculous than taking pity on a single movie.

Also, I have read reviews for WW. They don’t sound like pity votes to me. The DCEU was already considered a mess before WW was even released and if the film was simply mediocre, the critics would’ve made that clear.
