Its true that the prominence of Black Widow in the Marvel film universe is a sign of progress. For years, Hollywood has resisted depictions of strong, independent women in lead roles, despite the fact that the strong female protagonist is rapidly becoming a reliable box-office draw (see Gravity, Frozen and The Hunger Games for recent examples), but they have not quite cracked the superhero movie genre in a meaningful way. Black Widow, for example, takes a clear back seat to her male counterpart. More important, those female superheroes who have of late anchored a film or played a prominent role in one, all have something in common: They dont have superpowers. - Noah Gittell, PolicyMic What are your thoughts?
