Joss Whedon has spoken out against "genuine, intractable sexism" within the comic book movie industry.
Speaking to Digital Spy on the set of The Avengers: Age of Ultron last summer, two months prior to Marvel Studios and DC's announcements of Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman respectively, Whedon emphasised the need for Marvel to buck the trend.
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
WTF
He hit a few nails on the head, I guess.
I totally agree with him.
Whedon is God. He hath spoken.
Tbh (and I apologize in advance for stating the simple fact) The most famous super heroes are male. Not saying there's a reason behind that but just pointing it out. Marvel has some big name females heroes (really excited for Captain Marvel btw) but most of them aren't known outside the comic community aside from DC's Wonder Woman and Batgirl and a few others here and there but none of them are quite like Spiderman, Wolverine, Iron-Man, and what-not.
I agree the trend needs to be bucked of course. Nothing would make me happier than Zatanna and Black Canary getting their own films.
