I think a lot of the protest comes from a sexist angle, but... it wasn't a particularly empowering scene to me, either. I'm not opposed to fanservice moments, but not if that's all we're getting as opposed to better scenes, more lines, better writing, etc. for the female characters involved. The scene was easy, it wasn't earned. That's why it feels artificial to me.

I wonder how many of the MCU movies even pass the Bechdel test?

Just under half of them and some of them just squeak in.

Pepper being thrown in was odd to me. Don't get me wrong, I've always thought she was awesome but not as a 'go kick ass on the battlefield' type woman but in her being a kickass business woman who can handle Tony.
It frustrates me that to the MCU 'strong woman' must always equal 'can kick ass on a battlefield'. I also love Mantis and think she's an awesome strong woman again not because she can necessarily kick ass directly but because of her empathetic nature.
