RE: BLACK WIDOW
Fanboys: She’s so lame why is she on this team she doesn’t even have any superpowers!
Fangirls: Her outfit is too tight. She is just there to be a pair of boobs. Ugh.
RE: LOIS LANE
Fanboys: She’s not hot enough to be Lois!
Fangirls: She’s only there to be a damsel for Superman to save. Ugh.
RE: WONDER WOMAN
Fanboys: Batman Superman Batman Superman. Batman? Superman.
Fangirls: The actress is too skinny and sexy so clearly she’s just going to be there for sex appeal. Ugh. They’re just gonna mess her up. I wish they wouldn’t put her in at all. Ugh.
RE: TAURIEL
Fanboys: THIS WASN’T IN THE BOOK ASDSLFKHJDLSGJHSD
Fangirls: She’s just there to shoehorn in romance. She’s a Mary Sue. These movies are a sausage fest but that’s just how they’re supposed to be. I wish they’d taken her out. Ugh.
But…but WHY aren’t there more female characters in geek properties???
Because it’s too hard to look at female characters as human beings, as we do male characters. Female characters always have to represent some sort of feminist or anti-feminist agenda. We can’t just look at them as characters and accept how they are, they have to be nitpicked and overanalyzed.
