The Marvels director Nia DaCosta chooses to focus on the positive side of Marvel’s fandom to deal with the “woke” backlash surrounding the film.These days, it’s become common for any movie focusing on women and people of color to be described as “going woke,” and The Marvels has been no exception. However, per Variety, DaCosta shared how she’s refusing to let it affect her thoughts on the fandom along with her film. The director, who describes herself as a “big ol’ fan of nerdy sh*t for a long time,” explained how she’s able to ignore the more toxic criticism from a certain subsect of the fan base by keeping her attention on the other part that welcomes “civilized critique.”“There are pockets where you go because you’re like, ‘I’m a super fan. I want to exist in the space of just adoration — which includes civilized critique,’” DaCosta said. “Then there are pockets that are really virulent and violent and racist — and sexist and homophobic and all those awful things. And I choose the side of the light. That’s the part of fandom I’m most attracted to.”Who Are The Young Avengers?
