But that doesn't make the statement false, since she never claimed that SHE could be one; just that they could LOOK LIKE the person making that observation. Which is true. The real question is whether it MATTERS that a superhero "looks like me." I submit that it should not. It is the character's principles and ideals which make them heroic, not their appearance. Haven't Homelander, Omni-Man, and all the other "Superman . . . but baaaaaaad" characters illustrated that enough yet? Personally, I always knew superheroes could look like me, even in the early seventies. I created plenty who did, and plenty who didn't. But what was always important to me is what and who they fought for. The "how they look" stuff was only important if it contributed to their value system (which it sometimes did). But I never sought to create "[ADJECTIVE] characters," and I never looked at myself as a "[ADJECTIVE] writer."

You know who I find inspiring? Amelia from Babadook. The woman went through a terrible loss, struggled with an unruly child that she had to raise on her own, struggled to maintain her job and relationships, faced a hellish nightmare that is the Babadook, lost her sanity and gave into her demons, yet she pulled through and overcame her insurmountable trauma and demons in the end, becoming a stronger and more resilient person and mother for it. She could never be rid of the demon, but she’ll definitely make it her bitch. Marvel hasn’t produced anything that has come close to that level of depth and empowerment, yet they keep patting themselves on the back like they made great heroines rather than bland narcissists who overcame nothing…

[@jackmesrel4933]

And on top of that, she kept the poor child locked away in a tower her whole life mentally abusing her and hindering her social development.

Her entire story after End Game is her running away from reality and the consequences of that. And the worst part is the the MCU treats her as a hero for this.

[@anotherrandomguy8871]

That’s what bugs me so much, the MCU really tries to push her as it she’s still a Hero after everything that she has done, even in their shows and movies. We all remember the “they’ll never know what you sacrificed” by Monica that encouraged Wanda to not care about her actions, and then at the end of MoM after all that she did, the alt Wanda just pretends as if nothing happened and tries to comfort Scarlet Witch by saying “don’t worry the kids will be safe” but alt Wanda’s kids were safe before SW disturbed the peace and tried to murder a mother and kidnap her kids, and SW already knew those kids were safe anyways, she saw it in her visions, and when she mindcontolled the other Wanda while on the couch cuddling the kids…which is very creepy btw. SW is literally the only one endangering the kids, so why does the movie and alt Wanda herself pretend as if SW wasn’t being a crazy selfish creep who was trying to kidnap her children, as like I said, Wanda already knew they were safe, she just wanted the kids because of her own fantasies. Idc if it’s literally another copy of herself, no one should be this chill about almost being murdered by a home intruder, then said intruder tries to kidnap your kids for their own fantasies, and then you try to comfort them by saying “don’t worry, the kids are safe with me, you don’t have to take them” as if they didn’t try to steal your kids, because If this were any other character, we would see this as creepy, no matter their intentions with the kids (SW would’ve likely abused those children anyways. And now in this upcoming show, they are still gonna be calling her a hero.

I remember my first experience with woman's empowerment was when I was in the Army. I had just arrived in Europe from boot camp and whats called A.I.T (Advanced Individual Training ) . That Monday's (A.M.) 2 mile run (for some reason) the guys were placed behind the woman who evidently spent the better part of the weekend getting liqueur logged.What should have taken 15 min or less, lasted 30. The word empowered simply can't grasp the full impact of that experience !
