Meh.
My GF and I both are really into the current crop of Superhero shows, and its... ok. We're going to keep watching it some more to see if it improves, but currently ranked on the bottom of my list. My GF said it felt a bit immature, and we're going to watch it with our kids (as opposed to Daredevil, which they can't watch
)
They did beat the "but your just a girl" into the ground a few too many times. I mean seriously, that would happen like once, then she would break a tank in half, then everyone would be like, "OK! Moving on!"
Yeah, the "you're just a girl!" aspect was what seemed the most annoying to me. It reeked of playing that card to death from what I saw. Sad to hear it actually ended up doing exactly that. Reminds me of the female Thor comics, that played that same freaking card to death. Le sigh.
Haven't you heard? A female cannot be the central protagonist of anything without everybody in that work constantly pointing out they are female and making sexist comments about it. A protagonist cannot simply be female and that's the end of it, ever.
Exactly! Unless people realize that this is a trite, insulting to
everybody and, worst of all, fucking stupid way of handling these things, we are never going to move on to greater things.
Everyone need to stop acting like girls doing cool stuff is such a big deal; That's just having everything boil down to gender again, which is what feminists want to avoid in the first place. (At least the ones who truly want equality, not the whiny offended man-hating bitches who just want special treatment)
Also, while I haven't seen the trailers, I vaguely remember someone on this forum talking about a scene where a mother tells Supergirl that her daughter "finally has a role model" in the form of, well, Supergirl. This might just be me missing some point, but what the fuck, who says that girls can't have male role models or that they must have a female role model?
Things just need to stop being divided into "awesome guy" and "awesome girl". Can't we just leave role models as "awesome people"?
