1. Josh Tyler says: Women are interested in movies about relationships and romance and love. Women are interested in imagining themselves finding the right guy and dancing till dawn.

And female superheroes can’t do this because…? It’s really not impossible to have a movie with a tough hardass and a good romance. Look at Casablanca. Or Road house.

2 I have less and less tolerance for superhero stories, since they’re at heart a rejection of the maxim “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and I really think history, for the most part, bears that maxim out.

Hmmm, that’s not true. Let me try again.

I have less and less patience for people who talk about superhero stories, for the same reason. It’s pretty unsavory to watch your favorite superheroes turn into a bunch of amoral dickheads, and for the most part, when they DO turn into amoral dickheads they usually aren’t written well enough that you can fall back on realism as an excuse. At the same time, Superheros are an all powerful secret police, answerable to nobody. I really can’t accept that glorifying secretive vigilante justice is some kind of high moral calling that enriches our souls.

Let unrealistic, escapist entertainment be unrealistic escapist entertainment. Not everything has to be Important Art.

I’m still on the fence on whether or not I like it.

Is she part snake or something?
