- wonder woman's weakness: the annoying sexist bigots that get in her way

Are you talking about Mulan? Sorry, she is not a superhero but she is the only woman that came to me with that description.
disney is in a whole separate category to be honest
and the mulan 2 basically ruined a lot of what mulan set out to showcase about being a rolemodel for girls
also, not superhero blockbusters
did you know how much female characters are undervalued in films? romantic comedies alone make the girls unable to function without a man. they have perfect lives until someone tells them they are woefully single despite crushing their job and social life
so help me
it angers me so
that there are no female superheroes
that girls can admire
without them being seen through a male hypersexualized gaze
while boys have iron man, superman, batman and spider-man in the theatres to admire
why can’t we have a female superhero who isn’t a secondary character or the girlfriend to the lead male superhero
who wears full body armor
and is leading in her prospective field of science
(so help me, if you mention catwoman and black widow: THEY DON’T HAVE FILMS DEVOTED TO JUST THEM)
Here’s a serious advice. Even the nicest people have their limits. Don’t try to reach that point because the nicest people are also the scariest assholes when they’ve had enough.

except for SPN, where women don’t get redemption arcs AT ALL (Bela vs Balthazar, Anna vs Cas/Gabe, Meg vs Crowley, etc)
they just get killed. usually by a male character. misogyny at it’s finest
everyone in theory could need a redemption arc
the point is
somehow
the ones who get one aren’t the most horrible characters
by far the it’s typically a female character that has to win over and prove herself
usually for the sake of a relationship. not for themselves
