Because originality is not gendered. A superhero movie rarely brings anything new, and is in essence an attempt at making art via a committee.

DISCLAIMER: I have not seen this particular movie. It might actually stink. My statement is based on the superhero movies I've seen for the past 25 years.

Art via a committee is just a project.

It is my understanding that the main character is unlikable and the plot has a bunch of "And then character shows up so the next scene can happen" kind of writing.
