CHARLES XAVIER IN THE NEW X-MEN MOVIE.

SERIOUSLY

Is incurable hair growth just catching between Marvel franchises?

NEXT VICTIM??

Why the frown, Steve?

Not saying Jan wouldn’t tap it, though. ILU Jan.

The image above was created from gathering all of the significant named characters from released Marvel Studios movies as documented on the Marvel Movies wikia.

It’s pretty sad. As you can see, only 22% of the characters are women and half of them are love interests. There are over twice as many supporting characters who are men than women (and none of them function as love interests like the women do.) 84% of the characters are white.

• 60% of the characters are white men, including all the main characters

• 77%of the characters are men

• 76% of the men are white

• 81% of the characters (both genders) are white

• All of the women are white

• Allof the characters of color are men

• None of the characters are women of color

Out of all the films, Thor probably does the best in introducing diverse side characters. Natalie Portman and Kat Denning’s characters pass the Bechdel test within the first five minutes, and some of the Asgardians are played by people of color including Idris Elba’s Heimdall and Tabano Asano’s Hogun. Four white women characters are introduced instead of the other films’ average of one or two. But even then, there’s no question that the main characters of the film are Thor and his brother Loki.

Marvel is working off of decades of existing properties that for years solely focused on white men and a the demographic market of white men. So it makes sense that many of the films would have an abundance of white male characters. Beyond ratios, what doesn’t make sense is that even in the comics there is also an abundance of characters of color, etc. that they are ignoring or underutilizing. There are already five completed films where the titular character is a white man, with more to come. There are no films in the works where the titular character is a person of color or a woman.

…

Women made up at least 40% of the audience of The Avengers, yet only one out of the six Avengers–Black Widow–was a woman. Women also made up 40% of attendees at this year’s ComicCon. Why, given the scarcity of female heroic leads in the existing Marvel films, did Marvel choose to announce the addition of several more male characters but only one new female character?

This is so sad. (Also, another reason I am super bummed we are getting *#*#$ing Ant-Man before a Black Widow movie, and I don’t even care that I love Jan.)

(…Also, and completely off the “hey more POC and ladies plz!” topic: Phil Dunphy was in The Incredible Hulk? I assume, because it’s the only movie I didn’t like and hence haven’t watched in five years? If the actual character Phil Dunphy had been in it, presumably I would have liked it more.)

Look at your superhero. Now back to me. Now back to your superhero. Now back to me.

Sadly, your superhero isn’t me. But he could be!

OH MY GOD THIS WOULD BE AMAZING.

1991 Marvel Swimsuit Special

Hoooly shit, I thought her arm was part of his leg because pouches and then the creepy dinosaur head looked even more like it was growing out of him. NEVER CHANGE, SWIMSUIT SPECIALS.

Woman 1: Christine, look— it’s the Black Widow!
Woman 2: It’s her all right— Madam Natasha! There’s a woman with her own mind— definitely the Gloria Steinem of the jumpsuit set.
And for the first time in many days— the Widow smiles.

I’ve posted this before, it’s still like, top ten moments in comics, for me. So much of the discussion about female superheroes, today, reduces them to things for men to look at. And here’s this moment, from a time when feminism was this new-fangled, radical notion, that flat out embraces Black Widow as someone for women to look up to. And she draws power from this, and contentment.

Sure, yeah, superhero comics can be the fantasies of adolescent white dudes. But they can be everyone else’s fantasy, too— dismiss that at your own peril.

From Daredevil #91, by Gerry Conway and Gene Colan.
