Going Rebloggable

Got a couple requests to make this rebloggable, so here it is, short as it may be!

Dear, Gail do you think there will ever be a stand alone female superhero flick thats doesn’t have the same problems like Catwoman?

I ABSOLUTELY DO.

Listen, that floodgate is open. The water is just a trickle now, but you can’t put that water back.

Each success with female leads knocks out a couple dinosaurs in comics, film, and television.

DO NOT EXPECT INSTANT RESULTS. That won’t happen. But Hunger Games, Buffy, these things DO make a difference.

Trust me, the narrative still sucks. It’s still saying women can’t open action films.

But now the dissenters to this nonsense have evidence. And they are gaining in number.

It’s going to happen. It won’t be this year. It won’t be next year.

But it’ll happen and honest to god, I hope it knocks a bunch of naysaying doubters in Hollywood right into the tar pits where they belong.
