As we all know hollywood has not been pumping out movies for all our lady heroes. But do female Superheroes have an even bigger problem at their core? Are they too weak? Ronda Rousey seems to thinks so, and in an interview with USA Today she has some choice words about the issue, 

"I'm tired of watching this thing where the woman's superpower is dumbed down. In The Fantastic Four, the woman is the invisible one. In X-Men, (telekinetic) Jean Grey gets tired all the time. Wonder Woman is cool, but she has bulletproof bracelets, while Superman is a bulletproof dude. It's like she has really cool accessories. I think about that a lot."

Well I am not sure if she is referring to female heroes in live action movies or in comics. If she is just talking in general than she needs to read up on some pretty powerful female Bad A$$e$ in the pages of Marvel and DC.

At least her last "rant" made sense.

There's a principle known as supply and demand. There's not much demand for female superhero movies and thus there aren't many that get made. But I guess it's just a matter of time until our new socialist government mandates female superhero movies.

@ Nomis

Exactly that is why I was wondering if she was referring to the live action movies or in comics in general.

And actually if you watch the classic WW show from the 70's they really made WW strong in that show, not some weak character and that is why little girls at the time really loved that show.

I honestly don't care what she thinks.
@Nomis
She was more then likely only basing this on what has been seen in live action movies.

Is anyone on this thread a woman?

Anyways...

Sue may be invsible but the likes of She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel aren't; Jean Grey has no limits as the Phoenix; and, while Wonder Woman may not be bulletproof, Supergirl is... Ms. Rousey has only a peripheral vision of the superhero universe and is doing a disservice to women everywhere by complaining about things she doesn't understand.

Actually maybe she has been on this site surfing Nail's articles on Cosplay...................yeah those articles may be fun to look at but they certainly put some female heroes in a bad light.

I can't tell if she's joking or just stupid

SauronsBANE

Yeah, I think she's way off-base about blaming the powers for female superheroes...and instead of complaining that their powers are "weak", she should be rightfully pointing out that the characters THEMSELVES are weak. As in, they're written ridiculously poorly. THAT is the main issue in most movies, not their powers. She's not being "butthurt", she's just talking about the wrong thing.

Maybe she's salty because the likelihood of that ExpendaBELLE'S movie happening now is practically non-existent with Expendables 3 tanking.

Dear God.... Do we have to make every female superhero Superman/Hulk/Sentry level, in order for people to notice how strong the female characters are in comics?
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 8/17/2014, 9:42 PM
Maybe she should look at this female villain.......man I cannot wait to see WW on the big screen.

Not sure if she's truly butthurt, I just wanted to use that meme after the TDK BTS article. lol
