Who could have foreseen this would be problematic?

Marvel seems, I dunno, not willing to leverage their female characters that much as a company.

On the other hand, Agent Carter the TV series. Which isn't bad for a character that was supposed to be mainly just the Love Interest.

Yes, I'm excited about Agent Carter. However, she's currently not a superhero (unless they are going to give her some powers at some point during the show/movie-verse). Marvel has a lot of other female characters with powers that they haven't done much with yet. (And they are doing *more* male superheroes as leads for their Netflix series...why couldn't one of them been a woman, instead? She-Hulk could've been a good one, for instance.) I haven't really read much Marvel stuff as far as comics go, so I don't know if they've spent all of their energy historically on their female X-Men characters and not on their others. But still, it's no excuse. And a bit insulting to female fans (which I don't think many major comic houses think highly of at all). But I guess we're supposed to be happy with whatever is thrown our way and smile.

Marvel did Runaways, a nice majority-female teenage team. Comic's gone into permanent hiatus though, I think.
