The action/adventure genre in popular entertainment has been a white guy club since Tarzan and Robin Hood were the goto big screen heroes. Sure there have been a few token women (and non-white men), but for the most part the role of female characters was femme fatale or damsel in distress. These new storytellers believe they are fighting back against the classic gender dynamics by creating these modern hyper-capable uber-Women. They also seem to think that any acknowledgement of the physical advantages of men is sexist in and of itself. So the result of this is shows and movies where women are flawless and invincible, and men are either beta males, or macho meatheads.

Or it simply could be some combination of having blind spots and just not being good writers. I think we're sometimes too quick to assume malice where stupidity will do. Look at it this way: they're making the same mistakes men have been guilty of making all along. Sure, there's often an agenda. But often it's just ignorant people doing the least work possible.

On the other hand maybe I'm overly optimistic. Either way, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding your statement.

It looks interesting, but I still feel burned from Lost, it's going to take me a while before I invest in another mysterious flight tv show.

Anybody else been watching Castle Rock? This show is SO good I highly recommend you should give it try if haven't yet. It is like a mystery, psychological thriller, and horror show mixed in one and pulls it off!

Also if you're a Stephen King fan or at least familiar with his books and movies this show also has easter eggs in it.

They got the guy who coordinated the Black Panther fights? That's gotta be an improvement. I'll definitely give this a shot.

I liked the fight sequences in Iron Fist especially the fight scene with the drunkenstyle fighter.

But I love the effort with MARVEL in trying to make it better. Where was that effort with Inhumans. lol.

It's like some of them have never even heard of nuance or anything other than pandering.

When has the entertainment industry overall ever been nuance and not pandered?

The difference now is the white male centric audience that the entertainment industry is mainly built around is stuck on nostalgia and preserving their "culture" (remake, revive, reboot old TV series & popular movie franchises that make them feel good & right) so now pander heavily to everyone outside that core audience. That diversity mofos hate so much.

More "nerd shit", more "bitch shit", more "nigga shit", more "gay/lessie shit", more "chink shit", more "wetback shit"....the list can go on with all the various non white male centric demographics to pander to.
