Radical take for marvel: introducing main female superheroes as anything other than a villain
We talk about the marvel fandom hating women but we seriously need to address how every single female superhero has a horrible introduction into the mcu.
Gamora was an assassin. Wanda triggered every single member of the avengers in an extremely personal ways and was the villain for half the movie. Valkyrie was a fucking slaver for Christ’s sake.
Even Natasha was introduced as an antagonist designed to infiltrate Tony’s life and pass judgement with intentions we didn’t understand.
We can talk all the live long day about how the fandom doesn’t appreciate our female characters but all of them came from a place of antagonism. Marvel sets them up to be disliked and that’s our first impression, which we then have to get over.
Fucking marvel
i really really hope they change this with captain marvel
