    Does Disney/Marvel Have a Problem with Female Characters?

    Disney, we need to talk. We love all the strides you’ve made with female representation in the Marvel universe (you’ve gone above and beyond DC, which is a clusterfuck we’ll have to talk about another day), but we question just how long lasting these characters are? I know others have criticized you and started calling you the M-She-U, because of all the big badass ladies you’ve given us lately, but we have concerns. For every female character you give us, you seem to take her away just as quickly by either killing, canceling (we’re still bitter about the canceling of Agent Carter) or sidelining to a male character. With rumors spreading about the potential for a Moon Knight season two (despite the bland and uninspiring season one) we worry that a gem like Ms Marvel (which is your highest rated Marvel project on Rotten Tomatoes) won’t live to see another season. We know we’ll see Kamala Khan in The Marvels, but that project has been marred in concern for months. And let’s not forget all the upfront vitriol She-Hulk is getting before it even drops. After killing off Black Widow, Jane Foster (though she does have the option to come back) and Scarlet Witch, and completely sidlining Valkyrie (a fan favorite) and Lady Sif in Thor: Love and Thunder (and lets not forget the shit deal Christine has in Doctor Strange), we worry that the female characters in the MCU are much more short lived than their male counterparts. And let’s be honest, does Anthony Mackie really deserve his own solo movie as Captain America? He’s great as a sidekick, but struggles to lead projects, just look at the canceled Altered Carbon. Meanwhile, Natalie Portman and Brie Larson are rocking Oscar Awards. Just saying.  Subscribe to us on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjDHlVgFrGmhx-ymrIquWa55BwRo8L9Zm  Follow us on your favorite social media apps!  https://www.facebook.com/therolloutgeek  https://twitter.com/therolloutgeek  https://www.instagram.com/therolloutgeek  Hosted by Linsay Rousseau and Genevieve Marie  https://www.twitter.com/linsayrousseau  https://www.instagram.com/linsayrousseau  https://www.facebook.com/linsayrousseau  https://www.instagram.com/genevievemariecosplay  https://www.twitter.com/genevievenylen  https://www.facebook.com/genevievemariecosplay  #geekgirls #geeknews #doctorstrange #scarletwitch #wandamaximoff #wandavision #marvel #mcu #disney #thor #avengers #blackwidow #natasharomonov #shehulk #themarvels #msmarvel #captainmarvel #kamalakhan #moonknight #disneyplus #ladysif #valkyrie

    Doctor Strange & the Multiverse of Madness and the Cliche Crazy Mom Trope

    In today’s episode, Linsay and Genevieve do a deep dive analysis into Dr. Strange & the Multiverse of Madness and it’s cliche use of the crazy mom trope. After showing us Wanda’s redemption at the end of WandaVision, they completely destroy her character in this movie and gave her virtually no chance at redemption. Shame on you Marvel, Scarlet Witch deserved better. We look at uses of the crazy mom trope in other shows and films and really hope we won’t see it again. But we will.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi - Would Have Made a Much Better Movie

    Linsay and Genevieve are back from San Diego Comic-Con and diving into Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. They broke down the first few episodes last month, but with the show being over they wanted to take a deeper dive. The verdict? The show would have been better served had it been a two hour movie. The acting was great, but there was a lot of padding, unnecessary scenes, questionable character motivations and inconsistent uses of the force. But of course this is just our opinion.

    Ms. Marvel is Just the Show We Need Right Now

    Disney/Marvel has been a bit hit and miss lately with their shows and movies. Ms. Marvel hit it out of the park. Linsay and Genevieve loved it. The teenage feel was fun and refreshing, the focus on friend and family and community reminded us what’s really important in this day and age and diving into a culture that is rarely seen portrayed in film and tv was handled perfectly. All in all the show is fun for the whole family and we can’t wait to see Kamala Khan in her next outing.

    Cringeworthy: Movies that Didn't Age Well - Weird Science

    Linsay and Genevieve are back with their analysis of movies that just don’t work in the modern era. In this episode, they break down 1985’s Weird Science. You’d never know this came from John Hughes, who made his name with the classic high school films The Breakfast Club and 16 Candles. The movie fell flat at the time, with critics tearing it apart, but went on to become a cult classic. When looking at the movie through a 2022 lens, all those problems are still there with even more that would make it completely inappropriate for a modern audience. Haphazard writing, female objectification, racial stereotypes and of course thinly veiled pedophilia. There have been rumors of a reboot over the years, but we say, let this one fade into history. This isn’t a story we need or want in a modern era. We did get a pretty sweet theme song from Danny Elfman’s Oingo Boingo and got to see Robert Downey, Jr in his early years.
