great lead but fails the Bechdel test hard!

Rating: 2/10 (21 October 2017)

Do not take me wrong, it is a fun movie to watch. But seriously, Marvel?! This fails the Bechdel test so hard, I cannot even! You had Zendaya!! Her character could have made this an amazing film with a twist!
As it is now, it reads as a banal metaphor for the disenfranchisement of both the left and the right in America, ultimately leaving it up to the "big business" to "save" the day. So patronizing, esp. with Pepper reduced to an emotional footnote. Try to decide who your audience is and what the future hold; this was your chance, and you failed hard....this is way too bad because you had such a compelling lead to make it a great Marvel film for a new generation.
