Of course, once you dig deeper, you see a ton of issues with racism and sexism. Idiots who cry that Black Panther is a hate crime and Captain Marvel stole their lunch money. It took ten goddamn years for Black Widow to get a movie because the guy in charge was convinced nobody would watch a female hero.

Not to mention LGBTQA -- we've finally got a heroine that is a lesbian (points to icon). But she doesn't have a prominent role as yet, and that's been underplayed.

While Black Panther scored higher than just about any other superhero flick at the box office and got nominations -- it's not getting a sequel until 2021 or later.

And Black Widow is getting a movie after they killed her off.

Plus, look at DC, which keeps remaking Batman movies and Superman movies, and Joker...but has only one Wonder Woman film, and no films on any of the other female heroines. It wasn't until recently that we got Supergirl, Batwoman (this year), and White Canary leading DC Legends of Tomorrow. Mostly it was Batman, Superman, and the Flash.

While the comics are far more diverse than the movies are.
