Those deciding who gets what movie are not the bloggers bitching about their group not having enough of a media profile.
And then Carol has been pushed for years to make it into this movie.
Monica was Captain Marvel long ago.
Also producers are fucking cowards, so their big "yeah, we have a girl movie" movie couldn't be too "controversial".
Forget that they had better written women in GotG and Infinity War with Gamora and Nebula. They are thinking about marketing here. So they need their BIG 'MURRICAN HERO here, and they think Top Gun is something that's not outdated and tone deaf in 2019.
This kind of hero worship they are spreading for Carol is what other people are mocking now, but the fucks behind this movie probably don't have the cultural awareness to notice.
So what if half our own movies is satire or deconstructs heroism?! We NEED a Wonder Woman because... BECAUSE!!!
