Parallels Collide: ‘Captain Marvel’ Takes Half A ‘Wonder Woman’ Approach When it comes to superhero flicks, there are bound to be some similarities. With Marvel announcing in 2016 they would be following DC’s lead in bringing one of its biggest female characters to the big screen, it’s hard not to look at the pre-production factors without finding some similarities.

Wonder Woman What really pleased me in this movie was how determined and self-less Diana’s character was. Her whole goal when facing the real world was to protect others and restore peace by destroying Ares, the god of war. At this time, she had been previously sheltered on the island protected by Zeus. Now, she was on her own and about to enter into World War II. When she was brought in front of the generals of the allies, she was speechless. How could such men not make more of an effort to…

This was known as the beginning of the sexualized stigma that is still occurring in our…

Also, another detail in Justice League Unlimited that reinforces the concept of feminism is the island from which Aresia and Wonder Woman, a major character, is from. Their island called Themyscira, is entirely female populated. No male can enter the island and those that do are exiled to Tartarus, or hell.

After this the family gathered around him to see what he had brought. Following this he opened the cage for a small dog to greet my family. Then my father pulled me to…

In "The Story of My Body" Judith Cofer recounts significant life moments similarly to how society picked her apart, attribute by attribute. Cofer 's body image was criticized due to societal values, image standards, and cultural differences, thus giving her a different perception of the world as a whole.

were created roughly at the same time in history, but while Wonder Women tries to defy gender-specific stereotypes, Lois Lane enforces them. Another monumental difference between the women remains in their position in the comics.
