My comparison to George Wallace has to do with your instance that things boys like and things girls like should remain separate. That's segregation which is something George Wallace was very supportive of.

Anyways, there actually have been plenty of times when Marvel would have zero titles in their lineup featuring female leads. Many of their attempts to garner female readership were with books like "Marvel Divas" which were terrible ie laughable. And again, your comparisons to things like Twilight and 50 Shades don't work because there's no indication that men are interested in those things in the first place. The only reasonable comparison I can think of would be My Little Pony, and it's male fans don't seem to have any interest in it changing.

That's different from comics because all you have to do is visit a comic shop when it's busy or go to a con to see that there are plenty of female fans, many of whom have interest in seeing better female characters. If they weren't interested, you wouldn't see articles like this and many others on different outlets.

Most of those past attempts have been pretty laughable. Now that we're seeing serious attempts in books like Batgirl and Ms. Marvel, both companies are starting to reap the benefits.

@self-dceit: I believe George Wallace had similar views on society.

Anyways, your argument doesn't work because there's no indication that there are a significant number of male fans for Winx Club. However, there is an indication that there are a significant number of female fans for comic book superheroes. So since there is an audience for female superheroes, why should companies not try to appeal to them?

@dextersinister: I guess the point about Hope is fair, but she wasn't the primary target of Cross' men, while Hank was.

A better setup would have been for Ultron to capture the Hulk and later have Widow break banner out of his prison. It would actually make Ultron look like a threat (something the movie failed to do) and we would still have a scene with Widow and Hulk.

The point of their sparring was to get Paul Rudd's character to take the heist more seriously, so of course he's not going to win.

And Black Widow's so called depth in AoU was terrible. All they did was sterilize her and then have her get captured by the bad guy. It's pretty easy to see why that would ruffle some feathers.

Jean Grey and Rogue were much more fleshed out than a lot of the women mentioned in the article. Rogue was the central character in the first X-Men film and Jean Grey had a good arc going in X2 until that abomination of a sequel we won't mention.

I'd prefer they just drop the Defenders thing and let these shows tell the stories they want to tell. Daredevil is doing fine by himself with his own characters, I'd be worried that tying him into the Defenders would mess up his own show the same way Arrow S3 got a little messed up by having such an extended cast.

I think this casting is pretty cool. She could pass for Greek which is all that matters for me. People on twitter keep misidentifying her as "Asian-American" which is weird because she's not American.

I'm most excited because I think she'll do an awesome job with the martial arts.

@violetphoenix: lol, that's what grabbed my attention in the first panel. The Flash book needs more of that.

This is really rushed. Hawkgirl received almost no screen time in the Legends of Tomorrow trailers and now she's supposed to get her own show?

Plus, I know that success in the comics isn't a prerequisite for success in outside media, but the one time they attempted to give Kendra a book, it failed.
