I agree with both of you (@MollyR, @joeblow9999). I thought the most compelling theme from the whole presentation was the concept of "Public Pedagogy" and the almost Kafkaesque way that the big media companies erase women superheroes from movie merchandising. Lets accept the premise that the motivation is to protect their investment in the manufactured identities created in genres targeted towards girls.

Making a good movie dammit is probably not the priority (but it helps).
