Does Disney/Marvel Have a Problem with Female Characters?

Disney, we need to talk. We love all the strides you’ve made with female representation in the Marvel universe (you’ve gone above and beyond DC, which is a clusterfuck we’ll have to talk about another day), but we question just how long lasting these characters are? I know others have criticized you and started calling you the M-She-U, because of all the big badass ladies you’ve given us lately, but we have concerns. For every female character you give us, you seem to take her away just as quickly by either killing, canceling (we’re still bitter about the canceling of Agent Carter) or sidelining to a male character. With rumors spreading about the potential for a Moon Knight season two (despite the bland and uninspiring season one) we worry that a gem like Ms Marvel (which is your highest rated Marvel project on Rotten Tomatoes) won’t live to see another season. We know we’ll see Kamala Khan in The Marvels, but that project has been marred in concern for months. And let’s not forget all the upfront vitriol She-Hulk is getting before it even drops. After killing off Black Widow, Jane Foster (though she does have the option to come back) and Scarlet Witch, and completely sidlining Valkyrie (a fan favorite) and Lady Sif in Thor: Love and Thunder (and lets not forget the shit deal Christine has in Doctor Strange), we worry that the female characters in the MCU are much more short lived than their male counterparts. And let’s be honest, does Anthony Mackie really deserve his own solo movie as Captain America? He’s great as a sidekick, but struggles to lead projects, just look at the canceled Altered Carbon. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman and Brie Larson are rocking Oscar Awards. Just saying.
