This is how they were creating "strong female characters" for years now. Strong but only when everyone else is weak. Competent but only when everybody else isn't. Etc. Also have them never actually working for their powers and just getting them for nothing (compare magical "training" of Wanda in Wandavision with training of Stephen in his movie). Even as a teenage girl when I compare those "strong" characters to female characters from older movies I wanna laugh becouse it's a joke.

They retconned the EU out of existence while cherry picking minor elements from it anyway (but to poor effect) for the sequel trilogy. When it comes to the original trilogy, I expect Kennedy just pretends it doesn't exist. It's like buying a pizza on pizza night, immediately throwing it in the bin, throwing up your hands and saying oh, what a shame, there's NO PIZZA... then serving cheap frozen pizza that's only half cooked before behaving like a petulant child when people don't come back to your pizza night. No one's expectations are being subverted when you put people with no genuine interest, respect or even understanding in charge of a media product. Of course, there couldn't be anything wrong with the pizza, so it must just be that we hate the people who made it because of what they are. Makes perfect sense.

How much do you want to bet that the Kabuki assassin from Sheng-Chi will be a woman too?

[@juliaj7939]

The villain will never be a woman unless she ends up being the victim. The only exception was Hela from Thor.

[@horace6851]

@@juliaj7939 Hela was a victim too, she was used as a tool by Odin until he no longer wanted to conquer and put her to prison then followed by getting a new fresh innocent baby Thor. According to her words.

Without a doubt. Not that I'll see it, I won't watch anything after Endgame. Not without being paid.

I have a feeling that ScarJo's head banging on the desk will be the new Tier 2 Picard facepalm meme, when Picard isn't enough

Dew it!.

[@DJMagicMan]

Headdesk is already the accepted natural progression from Facepalm. If something is too cringe for a facepalm to do its absurdity justice, a headdesk is required.
