The Biggest Problem With Marvel Movies... is Women. (Page 2)

[Anonymous]

I notice when modern day superhero women get in fight scenes they almost NEVER get punched or kicked by bad guys (bad girls are okay though). They might get thrown on the ground or shot at. But Hollywood is so PC they won’t even show a bad guy hitting them. The movie civil war really showed this.

Be realistic. In classic comics (or even real life comics) bad guys have no problem punching a woman in the face if she’s resisting him. It’s not encouraging real life domestic violence because she ultimately prevails anyway.

I don't much care about love stories I expect to see interesting technology at work and philosophical angles explored. Flash and trash stories are deadly dull. I don't typically watch action movies for that reason except war movies, they're different they seem to have it all covered.

[NoPoliticsPlease]

It is moreso the whole PC and diversity thing now they got a female Thor now and I am just about positive they are going to turn most of the white straight male superheros to either women, black or gay and for no other reason other than to hate on straight white guys

I just hate how they are forced into action movies blaming on being male dominated and needing a change when men are naturally more aggressive so that’s why they are male dominated not just to keep women out of it so yeah it is dumb when they try to write them in for that reason

[Ellie-V]

They need to have a chick flick element in there to draw the romance crowd into a movie they wouldn’t normally go for. Besides that, when it come strong or powerful men in film, people respect the male character more for being able to pick up women.

As a woman the statements you make are fair, people making female characters just to be inclusive is ridiculous and cringey. Yeah some forms of media need more women but I'd rather see them as actual characters and not forced in.

[zagor]

Yeah, I have to agree. If the relationship is not key to the plot, then it needs to GTFO. I'm sure Patton missed his wife while rumbling tanks across Europe, but those feelings had nothing to do with WTF was going on in the field.

[CuChullan]

Very well put. It's demeaning to women, reduces them to the status of no more than eye candy. Women are so much more than that.

May take. Females, or should I say SJWs would lose their shet if women aren't represented the same as men are in whatever media has story telling. So then, shoehorn in a female character because that's now a requirement for these movies now days. And then give her no personality or development. As long as they aren't playing the damsel in distress, no one will blink an eye.

[Leafpool2]

Gotta agree with this. Peggy is the best woman the MCU got and even then most of her development was in her show so :/
Pepper literally only exists because she was in the comics and writers don't have the first clue what to even do with her.

[Allie_Oops]

Your article is misleading. Your problem isn't with women but with unnecessary romance, which happens in a lot of movies whether to protagonist be male or female.

I watched Ragnarok because my friends wanted me to, it's forgettable like most of MCU's commercial products (aka superheroes franchises), one thing I remember was that I found character Valkyrie very cringey and funny (forgot why of course).

[OfDeath]

I can see what you're saying but these female characters serve a purpose. They make the hero more masculine and they give him an element of humanity. Something to make the plot personal.
Romanticism.

It's a key part of most good stories.

Then why does it ruin every movie? I loved venom but cringed every time the girlfriend showed up. I just wanted to see more venom and Eddie banter.

[Dargil]

And Lois Lane was never, ever pointless. Nothing wrong with her being a pain in the neck so long as she mattered.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

no it's not... well, it falls into the biggest problem. the biggest problem is the movies aren't that good. they're action movies focused on fighting with a story sprinkled in as opposed to telling a story and supplementing it with action.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

fyi- the reason they put romance in movies isn't because it sexualizes women... ok, maybe a bit, but mostly to "add depth" to the story. both directly and indirectly. 1 to serve as a layer of motivation. another to serve as an added possible conflict. and 3rdly, to add a layer to the introduce the mcguffin, which the mcu has done a couple times in their movies... which is relatively creative, i'll admit.

[ajad95]

I would much rather have no female characters than bad female characters just for the sake of having a woman.

[lilaqua]

Have you ever heard about the women in refrigerator trope? It really gets to the heart of that women solely used for male motivation idea.

[Pinky_what_why]

i sorry didn't read it can some tell me what is wrong with marvel movies that have in woman thanks in advance

[jmstarling]

Scarlet Witch and Black Widow needed more screen time.

[alice55]

There's in those movie cause they're in the comics books...
I don't find anything wrong with how they portrayed to be honest...
