I think fun popcorn action movies can avoid being both a thesis on gender relations AND a constant reminder of real-world gender oppression. I don't think it's too much to ask, either.

I didn't feel she was being oppressed, ignored, sidelined, or stereotyped in any particular way? I mean, yeah, give all the old-fashioned Lois Lane types a skip, but Natasha isn't anything like that. The movie showed all of them in their weak moments. That was the whole point of Wanda's mindfuck, right?

It's just, I feel she gets more backlash for being human than she deserves, and the movie gets more backlash for showing them human than it deserves. I just really, really feel like people are picking it apart like it's supposed to be a gender equality thesis, but only when it comes to Natasha.

If there's something specific you feel is insulting about her characterization and actions, then that's your very valid point, it's just YMMV. I just don't see it.

So much this. Well put, anon! (Also, for context, I'm both female and a feminist.)
