"I don’t go to MCU movies, don’t care for🌊 them, but I find this barely masked gloating over the low box office for The Marvels very unpleasant. Why gloat over failure?" King .

He then added, "Some of the reject♒ion of The Marvels may be adolescent fanboy hate. You know, 'Yuck! GIRLS!'"

Directed by Nia DaCosta, the newest Marvel movie sees Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) team up with Kamala Khan aka 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), and Mon♛ica Rambeau (Teyonah Paris) after they suddenly start swapping places with each other every time they use their powers.
