If the black character's arc is really about the white character's growth then isn't that just the "black best friend" trope?
Sucker Punch is movie that has a lot of interesting things to say but doesn't have the language skills to connect them so they make a coherent sentence.
The first thing I noticed was so off was why would a person who shot their own sister be giving herself a gun as a weapon in her mind? There was no hesitation or recollection to the event. She just wasted that giant samurai.
Come on, I'll accept a lot of stuff. Sharks with super strength, sharks on rollerblades, but a black man water skiing. Out of bounds.
Explain the duplicate's regeneration and you may have something.
Mystique, White Queen, Angel Salvatore, and Moira McTaggert.
Aren't they in America? I didn't detect an accent in the phone call.
Wouldn't River know she was in the Astronaut suit as a child?
Plus, so far we're in America. The girl would possibly be American.

OH yeah,....... well girls have cooties!!!
Take that BFA and MFA women of the world.

But isn't AOTS playing into the stereotypes of geekdom anyways? Where are the minorities with expert knowledge on comics? Why do all of them wear "ironic" clothing with catchphrases?
AOTS is a stereotype for people who think geek media looks white and concerned with subcultures and BSG.
Munn didn't make it that way. She just simply fit, but eventually it showed that that wasn't where her interest lie.

Can't someone attempt not to simply be the "Maxim-worthy body" and fail without being labeled as a misrepresentation? Everyone famous gets by partly on luck things besides their talent.
Do yo u think we get the same actresses names for every big role in a flicks because they are equally suited to them? No. It's because they have leverage and agents and name visibility even if some person languishing as a barista at Starbucks to pay for one meeting would make a better Daisy in The Great Gatsby.
I'm not saying Munn's funny, she's not, but to label her as a bad represenation for simply trying to be more seems... harsh?

@Pennsylvanian100: I think the article is asking why is "elegant" the default for villain/dislike, when up against the quirky, clumsy motif? As if they would be at odds naturally.
@Andrew Littler: Are cloaks coming back in fashion? I think so!
Next we can get Zatara and top hats.

@sneepy: I don't know. Sounds like trading one messed up perverted idea, women can't be unsexualized heroes, for another. Young girls will be sociopathic killers under the guidance of a male.
Where's the female Peter Parker. He became the hero at 16 and did so without guidance. He simply learned from his mistakes.
So we have Sucker Punch, Violet and Daisy, and Hanna. The common thread I see among them is none of them are heroes.
Sucker Punch seems the closes but it sexualizes the heroines.
Hollywood is more likely to simply repeat what works so I worry about what example is going to be set.

Isn't this part musical?
@Paul_Is_Drunk: Concept art and previsualizations?
The CDC scene totally felt like Desmond's intro in the hatch.
kept waiting for a voice from the light to say, "Are you my replacement, brotha?"

@taosaur: Can you subvert a trope without using it? Buffy being in a cheerleader(which is a very competitive althletic sport) outfit any different from Xena's? Male Greek/Roman armor covered the entire chest while Xena had her breast visible.
@roguedandelion: Underworld or Resident Evil.
@WhatBubble: The first Batman serial was in like 1943. Four years after his comic debut. It introduced the idea of the BatCave, and not the comic.
