Yes.

Look.  I know you think you've got some sort of impenetrable argument because there are impossible things in the move, but that's just the suspension of disbelief.  We all walked into the theater expecting to see people shooting fireballs from their eyes and lightening bolts from their arse.  It's literally what we paid to see.

It doesn't mean any mundane thing automatically becomes artistically valid.  Imagine if right after Captain America picked up Mjolnir, he'd donned a red cap and said it was "Time to MAGA" before whoopin' Thanos's butt for a bit.  It'd be plausible, but it would also be inappropriate and would take the audience out of the movie.  People have laid out very valid reasons why the scene shouldn't be there.  Please deal with them on those term and stop pretending that it's all about the plausibility of getting 15 women in one shot.

Fine.  You got 3 hours and 55 seconds of suspension of disbelief and 5 seconds of Girl Power.  That's a ratio of 2,171:1.  Let it go.  Let the women have that 5 seconds of fictionalized, fantastic badassery or is that just too damn much to ask for?

And your analogy doesn't work because MAGA was never an aspect of any of these movies while each of these women were.  You analogy would be out of character for Cap.  These women fighting together is not.

Is this really where some of you guys are hung up on?  A brief, 5 second nod to powerful women? 

There's just one person hung up on this, most others here said the scene was forced and served no narrative or productive purpose. But that's the extent of my "hanging" up on this, move on yourself from trying to turn this thread into something other than talking about one literally pointless scene.

As the OP of this thread that is a request here btw, drop this in here, feel free to make a thread about it if you want to keep talking about the scene.
