It seems like it is. Despite Wonder Woman being in development that hasn't stopped DC from pushing Harley, Mera and a host of other other female characters through stuff like bombshells and Super hero girls.
Brie larson and marvel movies so yea she will be popular.
They tried with A Force and are pushing Ms Marvel, Gwen and a few others. They also have that TPB series A-Force presents which takes recent female led stories and packages them together.
They also have a fair few female led books currently running (Squirrel Girl,Hellcat, Hawkeye, Gwen, Gwenpool, Gamora) and more coming up (Hulk, Wasp, America, Jean Grey, Elektra ect)
On the movie side they have not done well.

I'd only like this for the Slayven existential crisis
That's what I think will happen, RDJ saved Stark. Wouldn't be shocked if Larson does the same.
Remember, Ike was the reason why Widow couldn't get a movie.
Thanks. And damn, does Authority really go to hell? Like, just browsing through who was on it afterwards, I know Millar can definitely be pretty eh, but I at least see some later stuff by Brubaker, DnA, and Morrison, who generally deliver pretty damn well (well, DnA I admittedly only have experience on via that whole cosmic Marvel era).

Pete Carroll Owns Me
My experience with Carol is pretty limited. She was okay in A-Force but she was really cool as Jessica's besty in Spider-Woman.
Great book and Carol was fun in it. The book has surprising emotional highs too. The birth scene in particular affected me.
Well I mostly meant in non comics media where most people get exposure to these characters.
You guys should be watch Justice League action really great show with alot of Firetstorm and Zatanna.
I'm honestly not sure if a solo book alone is enough to count as a push. Squirrel Girl for example is a fantastic comedy book, that's all it ever will be. The character is clearly not going to be pivotal to Marvel universe.
They've greatly diversified their line-up though.
off the top of my head:
America
Captain Marvel
Spider-Gwen
Silk
Black Widow(though this is possibly ending)
All-New Wolverine
Jean Grey
Hulk
Thor
Ms. Marvel
Gamora
Hawkeye
Wasp
Invincible Iron Man
Squirrel Girl
I'm probably missing something.
Gamora and Widow have decent roles in their respective team cartoons, but other than that it's all guest appearances.
Weren't they pushing to use her in a tv show. Did I imagine that?
If it's an ABC show, no one cares. If New Warriors ever even gets made.
Fair enough.
Even if it's not on ABC, I wouldn't necessarily consider a TV show that much of a push. I mean, even Legion is getting his own show.
But we are considering a merch line and a kids TV show as a push for DC characters? I look at DC and only see them really pushing Wonder Woman and Harley. Both companies need to do better with this stuff.
Oh, I'm not taking any sides here. I follow DC too little. Heck, I have no idea what the animated department of Marvel is doing as well.
They have done good work with Squirrel Girl and kids. That OGN was done specifically to widen her appeal and to have an easy to pick up book in bookstores.
Doreen is wonderful for kids.
I don't mean to attack you.

Mention of sunstone in 3...2..1.
I didn't take it like that, no worries. I'm just trying to say that I don't know enough to really make general statements.
I will take the side of Image Comics though, because they're awesome.
Have y'all heard the good word about the bdsm lesbian love friendship fun slice of life book Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic. Just finished its first 5 volumes wrapping up its first of 4 arcs. Check it out if you like wonderful characters story and art. Hardcover Vol 1 (includes Vol 1-3) out March 15th. TPB of vol 5 out in 3 weeks.
Thank you...been looking for something like this for awhile since I've been looking to get back into comics--the movies have gotten me interested again.
Anybody thoughts on the new Gamora?
How did you feel about Margot and to a lesser extent Leto and Smith?
It's a good start. Great art and it's written by the screenwriter of the first guardians movie.
We will load you up on comics. We are great at pushing books. Check out Zombines new reader recommendations thread. It covers a lot of ground with some great recommendations.

New gamora is decent. Keep in mind it is before she meets the guardians. I think it is worth a try

The art is really good and the story is essentially filling in her backstory while borrowing some from the movie counterpart. I'd say it's worth checking out.
Harley, dead shot, and Waller were the only things I liked about the movie. El diablo was decent as well.
Joker was kinda boring and I felt like he started making animal noises the longer the movie played. Probably the most boring joker I have watched.
I agree with this.
What did you think of the hand thing Joker did with the tattoo. I actually laughed. So stupid.
I wanted to give it a 2.5 but I don't do half stars plus if I gave it a three I wouldn't be able to sleep at night
It was just so many silly things like that and w.e boomerang was doing. Didn't hate it but it didn't make the characters better as well. By the end of the movie I was just numb

remember when slayven said the deadpool movie would flop cuz nobody wanted Wade Wilson running his mouth and doing his schtick for 90+ minutes
Fox thought the same thing, which is why Ryan Reynolds had to pay out of his own pocket.
He did in our hearts.
This is bigger than Ant Man. They gonna make Carol STRONG.
But can they make her interesting?
That and the Enchantress dance were easily my least favorite parts of the movie.
