You say that as if neither of those things have ever happened before. Very few people have an issue with female/ minority leads; it’s when we’re told that we have to like them lest we be labeled bigots, or when we have to stomach yet another HuffPost article complaining a movie with white male leads being too successful. Black Panther and Wonder Woman are successful because they were both genuinely good films. People enjoy them for that reason; not because of the roles. 

And that's what flabbergasted me the most.  

Though, I think for a select group who decides to do so, this movie is like a modern testament of their belief and what they would want to see achieve in the future of our society. 

The double standard phenomenon is strong with this one.

Okay so you guys have to accept that everyone is different and you can't define people's reasons for enjoying something.  I read your comments and shake my head like 'who actually thinks about these things'  then I realize that you are different.  You are groomed to question peoples reasoning and have to hold it up to what you think they should like or want to see.   And thats okay.  You think differently.    Just apply that to folks who really think that way.  A young business lady in my town got into comics and superheros after watching Xmen and seeing Storm.  To her, she never saw people like herself in the genre and that gave her a greater appreciation for the genre overall.  While I might not get it or experience the same thing, I recognize it as a valid thought process and perspective. Likewise, if I dismissed you being flabergassed, It would be because I am too close minded to accept that you have a different perspective. 

All is well :)
