DS: Joss Whedon criticizes comic book movie industry for intractible sexism "there's always an excuse." Jan 28, 11:47
"most of the best characters in Marvel are owned by Fox" {nm} Jan 28, 11:48
Guess he is referring to the 100s of X-Men characters, rather than the FF characters. {nm} Jan 28, 11:59
Quote doesn't seem to indicate this but I wonder from context if he is referring to most of the best female characters {nm} Jan 28, 12:19
..ever the feminist.. {nm} Jan 28, 11:56
and? {nm} Jan 28, 12:08
I'm saying he stays in character. Jan 28, 12:20
what "character"? he's written strong roles for women throughout his career {nm} Jan 28, 12:32
That underlines my point - don't be obtuse {nm} Jan 28, 12:37
Wow, you actually think oen can't a feminist "in real life", that it's just playing a "character". {nm} Jan 28, 13:13
However, "strong female roles" (or "leads"), as a term, is an abomination. Jan 28, 12:39
(egotists) {nm} Jan 28, 12:39
female roles have traditionally been written as weak or passive, so yes it matters to be gender-specific {nm} Jan 28, 12:43
"Settle down, Beavis".. ;) {nm} Jan 28, 14:02
Or one can read "We're losing all our Strong Female Characters to Trinity Syndrome" Jan 28, 17:13
Sounds like he's still bitter that his Wonder Woman project was scrapped. {nm} Jan 28, 12:06
