I find them dull too, anon. They have no agency of their own, they're totally there as accessories for the main male characters.

Even Uhura, which makes my blood boil because original Uhura was awesome and interesting.

[(Anonymous)]

Pepper is the one who takes out the actual bad guy in Iron Man 3, though. Not even Tony. In fact, Tony nearly gets killed by him and it's Pepper who kills the guy for what he did to her.

[(Anonymous)]

...after being treated as a trophy/prize for a good portion of the movie's ending. Don't you remember the epilogue about how Tony "fixed" Pepper? It was clearly meant to be a one-off occurrence.

Now, if you want to talk about Pepper's role in things, the first Iron Man movie was much better. She took initiative in the climax rather than just reacting in that one.

[lentils]

She was *supposed* to take initiative in the end of the second one, too. But they cut out the scene where she's the one that gives Tony the thing that helps him defeat Whiplash and I'm still so mad.

Uhura did the same in the last movie. She saved the two mens butt
and in the first movie she's the one who found out the message that saved them all
but we're supposed to ignore that or her badass moment with the klingons from the second movie and Kirk was the actual damsel in distress the whole time but that's not the topic

you are getting the picture

some of these female characters are simply underrated by people like OP and other posters.
and the male characters of these movies are, on the other hand, overrated

They have no agency of their own

Jane drove into the storm that brought Thor to Earth at the beginning of the movie though, and then she goes to retrieve him from the hospital to get answers. It's made very clear that she's after answers to her questions, life and limb be damned. I will admit the second movie kind of dropped the ball with her, but she's an active character in the first movie.

[(Anonymous)]

And in the first movie, she only becaame interested in Thor when she realized he could give her those answers, not because he was a hunk. I loved the scene where she and Darcy and Erik sat on the roof bemoaning the loss of their research (and iPod.)

I was so disappointed when The Dark World treated Thor and Jane's love as established and fated, when they were so cute slowly developing their relationship. And I was horrified at the idea of Jane abandoning her research to pine for Thor. That's not the character who was such fun in the first movie, all selfish and human and with agency. She was way better written in *Thor*, I thought.

Yes! But I also liked that she got kind of giggly around him, because honestly. He's six feet tall and gorgeous and charming, who wouldn't get giggly around him? I'm not even that into guys and I would.

I still liked Thor 2, but man did it have some problems re: its women. I did appreciate that Jane was still curious about everything (and holy shit, she had an Infinity Stone inside of her and didn't explode, girl is tough) but I wish they had written her differently in the beginning especially.

[(Anonymous)]

I also loved the giggliness--I actually liked them as a potential couple, getting to know each other, and I wish they'd continued that in Thor2 instead of going "our True Love is fated" and treating it as a fact. And then having her largely unconscious.

I also had problems with Thor 2's women, which was disappointing after being impressed by the way they were handled in the first one.
