I'm not sure what you're trying to say here exactly but the reason those scenes in Thor were funny was because Thor had a huge ego and got knocked out like 5 times in a row by someone half his size, albeit with cars and tazers and stuff.

In short it was less about gender and more about slapstick.

EDIT:

Actually, I would be really interested in having a discussion about why a Wonder Woman movie would almost certainly be problematic and how that could be avoided.

Hahah, I just watched that recently, and oh was it horrible.

Especially the first season. The second was pretty okay.

Planning on watching all the Marvel-verse movies (Hulk, Ironman, Thor, IM2, Capt A) and then seeing it. Soonish. (not much time)

nah i was just goofing off

Specially because regardless of how they do the movie, there WILL be some sort of buzz about the movie being sexist or appealing to a male driven audience...

Which always strikes me as a surprise, because, Twilight got past with two truckloads of bullshit in the Female character department, but a Wonder Woman movie would probably have non-existent problems discussed to hell and back.

Probably the best way to make a movie about her, is to look at Black Widow in the Avengers and go "That with Flight".

Which actually makes me recall this once scene in the Avengers, right after the Hulk-Out incident on the Helicarrier where he chases Black Widow and slams her into a wall with a sweep brush of his hands, later on when Fury does a quick head count, we see Black Widow pretty much shaking off a OMGHOLYCRAPAAAAH" look on her face, she was visibly scared to hell in that scene (which is completely understandable, you were chased by the Hulk) but also, that it was the first time i saw ANYBODY reacting this way to a Close encounter of the Hulk type.

Not for nothing, it would be a lot worse if she just acted Cold and "no problem" about it... it just caught my attention.

The only thing Wonder Woman and Black Widow have in common is reproductive organs.

And even that might be pushing it, what with WW having been made out of clay and all.

EDIT: Actually is that still part of her backstory? I mean, it's not like she was created through the usual biological means of reproduction, regardless.

EDIT EDIT: I'm getting sidetracked here.

In the current run, which is probably the best thing they've ever done with the character, she isn't made out of clay.

Okay, so they probably have that one thing in common.

Otherwise, no, you don't do Black Widow with flight, you do girl!Thor.

No, you do lots and lots of both implied and explicit lesbianism and bondage.

EDIT: Pretty sure lesbianism is not an offensive term in this context but feel free to correct me.*
*Have I mentioned that I have so many gay friends?
