Hence why I asked if it was a trend, It's REALLY noticeable here though to me First of all, the scene where all the girls get together in the climax. Barely anyone there has interacted with one another, the only ones that interacted with characters outside their origin movies were Carol and Nebula, which was THIS movie. Hell, Shuri, a fan favourite from the most successful solo MCU movie to date, doesn't even get a single sentence of dialogue. Then there's Natasha's death because of more "women who can't get pregnant are failures" subtext carried over from Whedon. It's especially bad here as she sacrifices herself for Hawkeye's family which implies "You only have value if you can have kids". Especially as the Russos revealed that they wanted to have her look after kids who got orphaned during the Snap. Widow somehow got popular, surely you can have her be more than fertility angst? Also they got rid of a shot of Tony giving Peter a kiss on the cheek after he got unsnapped and that fucking sucks, especially when they're trying to get credit for 'acknowledging' LGBT stuff by having one of the directors have a few easy to edit sentences at the beginning of the movie
Maybe it's just because it's me but I really don't like how this was handled
