hahaha holy poo poo her argument is that film critics secretly hate Superheroes and want there to be less superhero movies so they are deliberately defending Marvel so that no other companies can make successful superhero films and ergo there will be less of these movies.

i don't understand the fanboy thing either. like if they gently caress up on something you like wouldn't you hate it even more? the prequels were so loathed cuz people liked star wars so much and they were trash.

No, you see, in 1999 we Star Trek fanboys said all those negative things about the clearly very good prequels so that in 2015 we could stage a coup by having the Star Trek guy make a Star War movie that people liked, thus ruining the integrity of when the racist caricature stepped in poopie and haggled with a jew over his midi chlorians.

It's surprising enough that someone green lit an action movie starring a woman. Her version of Black Widow is very popular with people and Marvel still hasn't considered making a solo movie when fuckin' Ant-Man is getting a sequel. And regardless of it being a white actress or an asian one nerds are going to relentlessly poo poo on it for not being pure honorable anime.

Not sure about that, comic book movies are bad with women but general action stuff? You have things like Ultraviolet, Resident Evil, Salt, Aeon Flux and all of the Alien films, even the two Alien vs Predator movies! Sure it might all be schlocky crap, but I don't think lady action heroes are a total anathema in this day and age.

Also who gives a gently caress if nerds are hard to please? Its still originally a clearly Japanese character, and its not like you see many Asian women in lead roles in Hollywood.

Holy poo poo, the waining death of Star Trek and the stillbirth of Star Wars DID happen simultaneously. God, 1998 to ~2005 was such a loving black hole for genre movies.

[Don't correct me with good genre movies that came out then. I know there's a few exceptions.]

and she's scrambling around to get all her clothes back on but before she can get dressed again he's already seen everything.

The thing with the last part is why they're being somewhat faithful when it comes to Aramaki and most of Section 9 being Asians but okay when muddling around with the ethnicity of the main characters (even with in-universe excuses) and changing things around like Section 9 not being a government agency but being some sort of corporate espionage department for a Japanese corporation (which is more ire-inducing than the whitewashing of Motoko and, to a lesser extent, Batou). Like seriously, if you're going to do those fundamental changes, you might as go whole hog and set it in America and give everyone appropriate sounding names.

I'd like to see it. Though honestly I'd like to see them take another female hero and give them a solo outing a little more at this point. Black Widow is a major player in the ensemble films that they do like every year now; so we see a fair amount of her, and it isn't like she's getting shortchanged in the films she's in. I don't know who they have as good female hero material, Janet Pym's in the Ant Man sequel, and the Wasp is the only female Marvel hero that comes to my mind readily who isn't an x-man. Captain Marvel is a woman right now right? They could probably make that work. That said, Widow's backstory might be enough to carry a decent movie.

I assume you mean the fact that they have custom made robot bodies when you say they have in universe excuses, right? Also I thought Mokoto looking strange compared to her teammates was a deliberate thing since she's had a robot body for like her whole life. I kinda wished they went whole hog and cast a black actress or something for the role now, much better than purple anime hair for conveying her alienation from what her "natural" body would have been.

I finally listened to this paranoid ramble, and I have to say that it sounds like this woman is about two steps away from dropping off the grid so that big hollywood can't broadcast a kill command into her fillings. Also, who seriously is going to argue that this is some kind of intellectual masterpiece? Moreover how much crack do you have to smoke to argue that it is good for trying to be something even when you are pretty much admitting it did not succeed in it's ambitions?

Yeah, Captain Marvel is a woman now, and she's getting her own movie in 2019 or something.

As for other Marvel women who could carry solo features, you could probably pull off a She Hulk comedic courtroom drama series on Netflix or whatever channel Agents of Shield is on

A Black Widow movie just seems like a no-brainer, since the character has carried her own solo comic well enough several times over the years and Marvel already has an actress in the role that audiences like, and we got to see her do some cool spy poo poo in Winter Soldier and people reacted positively to that.
Like yeah you couldn't really have her going toe to toe with high-stakes mega-powerful supervillains but her backstory and skill set lend themselves well to any number of solo stories. "A shadowy figure from Black Widow's Soviet/pre-Shield past resurfaces and she gets framed for the assassination of [pick a character], and now she has to go on a globe-trotting adventure full of shady characters and mystery and intrigue to clear her name and uncover the real killer". I just came up with that off the top of my head, the plots practically write themselves.
And people would line up to see it just because it's Marvel and it's Scarlett Johansson.

Also of note; Drax's daughter is a dragon from the moon.
