Women in Refrigerators: Killing Females in Comics | |
Incredibly intelligent and thoughtful. This article really made me look at sex differently within film and even beyond as well. | Sex in Cinema: Poetry vs. Pornography (Explicit Content) |
A well thought-out review of BvS. I would be interested in the author’s take on comparing how Marvel’s movies have differed in positive or negative ways from what DC is currently doing. | Batman Vs Superman: What Went Wrong? |
A good article but I think it would have benefited from more in-depth integration of feminist and disability theory to really dive into the significance of the tropes. It is also interesting that when Alan Moore asked to cripple Barbara Gordon the editors of DC at the time said to: “cripple the bitch,” this has some pretty big implications for how sexism and ableism works in comics.
