The article expresses concern and frustration regarding the uncertain status and apparent lack of integration for the many compelling female characters introduced during Marvel's Phases 4 and 5. Despite introducing characters like Yelena Belova, Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Riri Williams (Ironheart), Echo, and Monica Rambeau (Photon), their individual narrative threads often feel unresolved or disconnected from the larger MCU storyline.
The author highlights that recent casting rumors for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film, which reportedly focus heavily on established male heroes (like Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange), amplify these concerns. This raises questions about where these newer, powerful female heroes fit into the future of the MCU's major team-up events.
Essentially, the article argues that Marvel has invested significantly in introducing a diverse roster of women heroes, establishing their potential, but seems to be fumbling the follow-through. There's a lack of clarity on their future roles, leading to fears they might be sidelined just as the next major saga ramps up, leaving fans questioning the purpose of their introductions if they aren't going to be central players moving forward.
