Just a Sci-Fi Kid Like Me

Marvel commits to Black Widow film

I can only imagine at Marvel Studios some variant of the following conversation is happening:

MINION: Every since the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer came out, social media has been swamped with memes about DC unable to put together a Wonder Woman movie while we can have a talking alien raccoon riding an alien Ent.

KEVIN FEIGE: Hmm. It seems as if women want to see a woman superhero as much as they do gorgeous men in tight and flattering uniforms.

MINION: Indeed, sir.

KEVIN FEIGE: Well, we must obviously never waste an opportunity to stamp on DC mercilessly. Someone call the contracts office and Scarjo. Time to start redesigning Phase 3!

***endcredits scene***

SCARJO and JOSS WHEDON wordlessly fistbump.

Is that the Cap 2 trailer makes me want to sit down and start writing academic papers about popular representations of government policies in comics and the stills of X-Men: Days of Future Past make me want to write fic.

I blame pics like this one:

You made a movie with CHRIS HEMSWORTH and SEAN BEAN and I had to find out about it from Netflix STREAMING?!
