I have always known that a Woman can function as well as a man can in almost any theater of human endeavor you have to offer. I didn't need a movie to explain that to me. I didn't need a film to help me understand that women solve problems in different ways than men do that are no less valid. I'm sorry if the rest of the world needed a reminder of that in the form of a superhero, tentpole movie. I would have preferred a movie about a female superhero that did not have to function simultaneously as the fulcrum in a feminist debate. What about the movie came across as promoting a feminist message? The thematic idea that men were destroying the world and that a woman was needed to save it. That's not an inherently incorrect or bad idea, however; it resulted in what was only a good film being promoted beyond its rightful stature. I'd rather the film have been taken on its actual merits rather than its perceived politics. The film is now a podium to preach from as opposed to what I assume it was meant to be, a platform to further build a shared universe on. |
