re: San Diego Comic-Con Mega-Thread: Updates and Discussion

I do agree they are making progress. But we are talking about an industry whose target market is teenage boys, which leads to a lot of stupid over-sexualization of characters (Psylocke is actually one of the more egregious historical examples - she went from a conservative and modest British lady to a sleek Asian-ish killer who wear next to nothing.). We're into the gimmick casting era, which comes before actually making powerful female characters whose first attribute isn't "I'm a girl". It's progress, but the list of legitimately interesting, well-rounded female characters in the superhero universe is still rather small.

And it was funny that Comic Con made a bunch of Marvel fanboys sit through the lecture. Probably the people who most needed to hear it, and were least likely to listen.
