I'll grab my mace and broadsword and join you in cleaving Hollywood execs in half. <br /><br />Why is it so hard to get a kick ass woman on the big screen? It's not like there's not an audience for one. Wonder Woman is the perfect vehicle for a female movie superhero and yet, DC does nothing. You're right, they target young kids and it's like they're telling girls you're only good enough to help or be rescued. That's your job. <br /><br />God help me, but I want to bitch slap the lot of these execs for their archaic line of thinking. It's even worse when you know that some of these studio heads are women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-77079812947625372742011-05-19T22:24:59.362-07:002011-05-19T22:24:59.362-07:00Gaaah, you know I feel your frustration!

I thought we were going forward in women's rights, not backward. And yet in every superhero movie, women are nothing but love interests and damsels in distress. Which I would take as a genre folly, except for the fact that superheros are mainly targeting young kids. And it's just not right for little girls to have nothing but some Cat Woman to chose from when they want to play superheros. And people wonder where lesbians come from. Excellent post!M.

I loved Wonder Woman growing up and was so looking forward to this new show.<br /><br />@Matt Thanks! I loved your post. Oh my God do we need female directors. It is my fondest wish to see a woman up on the bigs bringing it like Thor and Iron Man. The audience is there if these stupid execs would just pay close attention and stop trying to soften up the female superheroes. God! They need to play it straight out, both barrels blazing to mattresses like their male counterparts. Stop over feminizing them because of some left-over Mad Men sexist 'tude. Women need not be soft and have so called gentler powers. <br /><br />Bigelow is my newest goddess.

Your rebuke of Kelley, NBC, and DC ...Awesome rant!<br /><br />Your rebuke of Kelley, NBC, and DC comics does somewhat coincide with my latest post. One of the films at Cannes that I am looking forward to is Sleeping Beauty. And it is one of four films in the main competition that features a female director. That's an excellent development for female representation in filmmaking, and ultimately, a solid stepping stone for a "maturation" of the directorial hierarchy. Perhaps, when more women man positions behind the camera (as opposed to perfunctory superhero roles in front of it), then you may get your wish of a genuine, powerful female superhero lead. <br /><br />Great post!FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-12047202257159988332011-05-15T09:35:13.843-07:002011-05-15T09:35:13.843-07:00I used to watch Wonder woman, it was such a fun sh...I used to watch Wonder woman, it was such a fun show.
