Well I am hesitant to say it and cause a derail on this thread and piss everyone off. But there is an undercurrent of complaints about the MCU in that it is too masculine and male dominated, devoid of women lead characters, devoid of "other demographics", too white, and too many women play subservient roles to men (Mantis, Pepper, Agent Hill, one could even argue Black Widow, SW, all the Wakanda women, and so on, because they take orders from men). I think these complaints are largely ignored because the MCU is just too well made and too much damn fun. So, at least to me, the timing aspect of adding some extremely powerful female being to the mix, this late in the game, is somewhat suspect. And if this decision was influenced by any other reason than the writers truly believing it was the very best option to conclude this story, than it's going to be harder to make it work.AliasMan02 said:
My response to this is, what about the past decade, and the Russo Bros in particular, makes you even begin to consider this to be a possibility? They're not going to screw it up.
Put another way, it just seems strange to add any major character, this late in the game, that significantly influences the outcome. So why do it?
Black Panther in particular had some awesome strong female characters, some in very traditionally male roles.
