The moment people realized Strange's plan, he got a big cheer.

"This scene is wonderful. People don't cheer because it's cool, they cheer because it's important."—banana22oats#50 The all-female team-up scene in in Avengers: Endgame
Source: Marvel
Yes, this got a big cheer in theaters. But it felt so forced and unrealistic that I could not take it seriously. In what world is every single female Marvel character in that one place? Did they plan it? Was Steve like yo, if you're a female Avenger, go help Carol? Mantis and Valkyrie don't even know any of them. I am ALL for an awesome feminist movie moment, but this felt like it was written by a man — which, of course, it was — with only a vague idea of what might be empowering to women. - By shieldmaiden1975
