Exactly, there's always this edge of "if I put down this female character enough, my fave will get a movie instead of her." People don't compare May to Natasha because they want to talk about how interesting it would be to see them meet, or because they want to talk about the parallels in their careers, or because they want to talk about how different their personalities are even though they fill the same niche of terrifyingly competent female SHIELD agent. Nah, they compare them because they want to say that May is a cheap imitation of Natasha, or one of them is far better written, one of them is more impressive because of reasons A B and C, or one of them is more deserving of a solo film/series, etc.

You can compare female characters without subtly pitting them against each other, which is what people mean when they ask others to stop comparing them against each other.

I prefer May because after all these years, I've still just never warmed up to Scarlett Johansson. There's a lot to be done with the Black Widow, and I just don't feel like I've seen her do it. Kinda how I feel about Halle Berry as Storm, really.

And because I feel bad citing two female actors and no male ones, I should also mention that Chris Hemsworth's Thor never comes to life for me. There's a flatness to him that doesn't really work. Is that just me?
