I've really had it with media bending over backwards to put male viewers first. Testosterone up the girl stories as much as possible but don't you dare put any sparkle in the boy ones. The ladies will start thinking we actually want them as an audience and we can't have that.

That's why I have such high hopes for Legend of Korra, actually. It's definitely being made for the female Avatar: The Last Airbender fans.

[xerxes92.livejournal.com]

Not really... Avatar was ALWAYS female-friendly. Korra being female seems to be more cycle related, it seems that the avatar cycle switches with each regeneration and then is the same gender for two regenerations (the firebender and airbender ones) and then switches again. Legend of Korra is being made for the sake of being made, not for any specific demographic.

Well, friendly to teenage girls, yes.

Friendly to older women, not so much.

However, the creators have stated that they do want to draw in/reward the female fans by making Korra a true action girl -- one who actually has the build for kicking ass, as opposed to the skinny waifs the media throws at us.

[bleed-peroxide.livejournal.com]

That's what I loved when I saw Korra's design - she looks powerful and strong. She looks like a warrior. She doesn't pull any of that Waif Fu bullshit. Hell, even Toph was a petite girl in stature but didn't look frail (despite whatever her father suggested) - she looked solid, compact but still a bit muscular.

I think the issue in this case is less 'MEN FIRST' as much as 'AS MANY ASSES IN THE SEATS AS POSSIBLE', since there are plenty of parents [and boys] who won't want to see a movie if it's titled something like 'The Snow Queen' because it sounds 'too girly'...and, honestly, isn't an attitude you can blame the movie industry specifically for - since *that* is directly related to societies view on gender roles. Which, while movies may add to it/help keep it going, they aren't the original source for it, nor are they the only thing that keeps it going.
