Let the haters hate.
The fact of the matter is that this film was a woman's tale; a story of male expectation, defying it, and finding your own power, unstoppable resolve, and determination in a world dominated by worldviews set by what has historically and factually been a largely patriarchal society. Girls need more stories like this growing up. 10-20 years from now the next generation of female fighters- political, military, so on- may well be those brought up on this film. The power it holds to affect and inspire SHOULD be taken seriously.
So many people decided to take the easy way out by concluding the film and its impact by its middling technical merits. Fuck 'em. This movie's more than its technical merits. It stood and told the vitriol-filled fanboy culture to go fuck itself.
Chris Evans might not want to be Captain America forever, Chris Hemsworth might not want to be Thor forever, and Robert Downey Jr. might not want to be Iron Man forever, and Disney is not going to stand by and end their cinematic universe when it rakes in this much cash. Fans simply are incapable of reading the subtext: Captain Marvel is what Thor/Captain America: The First Avenger/Iron Man were in Phase 1: just the beginning of that character. Brie Larson's only getting started, and whether the 13-minute-YouTube-Rant crowd wants that or not doesn't matter at all. 10-year-old girls getting wowed at Captain Marvel teaching them to find their own determination and place in the world in spite of what others tell them to be, matters a hell of a lot more than 20-40-something-aged men's bile at what they want their version of Captain Marvel to be.
tl;dr- let's all let women be superheroes without being fucking assholes about it.

I agree with everything you said. But I do want you to know that Captain Marvel isn’t the first female lead superhero movie. No, Wonder Woman isn’t either. I’m saying this because a lot of people treat this movie as if it was innovative, but in reality it’s just another female lead superhero movie. I’m not saying YOU are one of those people, but I want to make sure that you aren’t.
The difference here is that the actress caused a lot of controversy and at the end of the day all of that supposed “radical feminism” that was going to be in the movie wasn’t there at all. The controversy was just an accidental publicity stunt, and all of those haters wasted their time.
