Uh nobody cares. They knew they underutilized her in Captain Marvel and got her back as a lead character this time around. (tho now I have to wonder if Sersi was the role that caused the Constance Wu Twitter mini-meltdown and that Gemma was the second choice; either way, great for GC).

BatB remake is worse than Alice tbh. Should be interesting to see how Ariel and Mulan place. -
This statement still a thing? Repeat with me: Feminism and diversity have jackshit to do with bad storytelling. Its impact on good storytelling is also only to the extent that a seldom explored POV is highlighted, but then too the hard work needs to be put in to ensure your strong women and minority characters aren't just tokens but well-rounded, complex characters. But by themselves feminism and diversity haven't made a story bad lol.

Did the organizers of SDCC sponsor this article with its "WB/DC missed out big time by sitting out the Con" bottomline? There's nothing to show that Comic Con was the reason for Aquaman breaking out (in fact, remember when people said Shazam "upstaged" Aquabro at last year's SDCC? ). Looking back at the DCEU's BO history, its biggest DOM hit Wonder Woman had a release date that was almost a year apart from the previous SDCC (and even then, WW ended up being more of a leggy phenomenon, meaning whatever exposure it got at SDCC was negligible). Even Suicide Squad really exploded on the scene with the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer shown with the CW special in January, not at SDCC. The most publicized DCEU movie at SDCC was JL, and well, we saw how that turned out.

Jane Foster's Thor storyline is way more meatier than just her being the first female Thor. She's also a cancer survivor, but her transformation into Thor screws up her treatment and the cancer keeps coming back. Increasing the emotional heft tenfold. Purely speculating, but I think one of the reasons Jason Aaron, the writer of the Jane Foster Thor book, probably came up with the idea in the first place in hopes that it would catch Portman and Feige's interest and be adapted on the big screen. So... score?

Every character cast so far was male in the comics other than Jolie's Thena, so 3 genderbent (Hayek's Ajak, Ridlof's Makkari, and the child Sprite). Doesn't matter as: 1.) The Eternals are obscure and 2.) When this movie probably succeeds, those Eternals will probably become female in the comics too.

This film is being made primarily for China. Obviously they'd want it to be successful elsewhere as well but first and foremost, the objective is to create the first onscreen Chinese-origin superhero from Hollywood and solidify the relationship Marvel/Disney has with the Middle Kingdom. Also see: They were fine with Princess Jasmine not being played by a Middle Eastern actress but Mulan had to be played by a Chinese actress in the live action reboots.
