There are plenty of great strong female characters in film. But the marketing of this movie wants you to forget that and will book no calling that out on line.
The alleged review bombing is a lie. Rotten Tomatoes had a feature that allowed you to say if you "wanted" to see the film. There was no "review".
It is sexism to classify every man that does not think like you as an "incel" - frankly I think that amounts to sex shaming and should be stopped.

Friendly note that you quoted the wrong poster. Sarah brought up the incels and trolling. My response was the following:
I watched a documentary about "incels." They are not well. Many appear to be struggling with intense social anxiety or depression. Though I am not suggesting that every male with anxiety or depression identifies as an "incel." I would not focus on them. They do not represent the vast majority of men. A lot of men and women have responded with praise to the film about a female super hero. I think it's helpful to focus on that rather than on a small minority of very angry and unwell guys. I had a male friend who was deeply into comics etc. He was also a loving husband and father who respects women.
