And honestly, The Hunger Games did more for the popularity of women heroes than anything. I know that character is not a "superhero" per say, but she is a powerful female lead in fictional literature. Essentially this is just the first female hero lead in the comic universe era. Which is cool, but it means nothing to me unless the movie is good.




I was going to list Catniss, Hermione, etc., but thought that was going to far. But yeah, all proof of why that line is really not relevant.

GG looks great as WW so I hope the rosier reviews turn out to be accurate. The line about revolutionary for women did smell like someone who just lacks normal perspective - and made me wince when I read it again.

There are plenty of prominently featured female leads in action or comic book movies. WW has been a cultural icon for decades. And the mythology upon which her origins are loosely based is literally thousands of years old.
