This is still early in development, but chances are it will happen (and with Johansson on board). Exciting news.

reply

I hope so. She deserves it.

reply

Really? She's been the least interesting member of the Avengers all along.

Okay, maybe not since Scarlet Witch and Vision joined, but still.

reply

Are you afraid of strong women?

reply

Quite the opposite.

But no amount of longing to see more strong female characters can convince me that Johanssen and Olson are good actresses!

reply

“I’m fine with female-driven films, but I just hate this particular character for reasons.” You sound like a butthurt crybaby who is freaking out because they're not being treated as the center of the Marvel universe, in fiction or in terms of business.

reply

Scarlett? Is that you?

Hey, nothing personal, Hon, I've just see the difference between what a real talent like Cate Blanchette can do with a Marvel role, and what you can do.

reply

the guys inside the fanboy echo chamber think they're coolly analyzing the flaws in the acting, but to those outside the echo chamber, what we see is a lot of nitpicking and a deliberate failure to admit the real reasons you don't like it.

Which is: The whining fanboys just don't emotionally connect to the new films the way you did with the old. That's all there is to it, and that's the one think the "fanboys" refuse to discuss because they try to reduce everything to logic and details. That's not what filmgoing is about, it's about feelings and emotions and being swept away into excitement and a willing suspension disbelief, or not, or loving or identifying with a character... or not. A person who says "I don't like Black Widow because I have a 100 point list proving she's boring" is failing to understand their own reactions and a film as a whole, while a person who says "I don't identify with Black Widow and therefore the film doesn't provoke a strong emotional response" gets it. And that's the one thing I never hear from the fanboys, I hear everything but that because they don't want to analyze their own responses.

People who don't like fictional female characters are misogynists, dontcha know?

reply

Nope. Misandry can't exist because patriarchy or something.

In all serious, it's hilarious that Otter still has no idea what I'm doing, huh?

Okay, it's time to stop the joking and get totally serious here.

And say: Dude! Have the psychiatrist adjust your meds before you get put on a 5150.

reply

I'm all for diversity and am sick of the fanboys whining about "PC bullshit" every time they see a prominent character who isn't white and male.

reply

Zyprexa, it's good for what ails you!

reply

Well, "Wonder Woman" was a huge hit, and proved that a movie starring a female superhero could find wide appeal and make a lot of money.

Any thoughts on that now, nay-saying fanboy?

reply

The Zyprexa takes a while to kick in, so here, take this Haldol and you'll feel better much faster.

Perhaps you'll even be able to grasp elementary logic then, if nothing more complex.

reply

white fanboys hate this film because it wasn't made for them or what Hollywood assumes to be their tastes. Well tough shit about that, the rest of us count too.

reply

So many fans have been asking for it for years, and I myself agree that she deserves it. While admittedly she has been somewhat underutilized over the years (except for in The Winter Solider), I always felt there was a lot more to her character still left to explore.

Plus the direction they can take this movie could be interesting and unlike anything we’ve seen in the MCU yet.
