SuperHero Roundup

Great topics, great opinions, great breakdowns , sad there are only three episodes

Always great news, I don't always agree but the commentary is on point.

I've been wanting to write this for a while. Full disclosure: in a previous life I was a fan studies academic who did work on gender in the geek community. The biggest thing I learned was that there are a lot of dicks out there who try to hide their sexism and misogyny in concern for our "cultural heritage" or some other bull. They may as well put a 'no girls allowed' sign on their clubhouse for how welcome women are in their circles. The thing that has always impressed me about Matt, DJ and Sam is how they don't buy in to any gatekeeping. They understand one thing clearly: girls like superheroes, too. Their assessments of female characters on the shows they review are always spot-on, championing the good ones and calling out the poorly-written ones. My only wish is that we have more Maude this year, because she adds insights that ladies will pick up on faster than the guys, and the guys respect her and her opinions. Mutual respect-- it's a beautiful thing.

Been watching since the beginning! Came a long way and it's great! can't wait til it's back!
