Maggie, Sammy B, and Jamie of Girls Who Geek return to begin a three part series entitled WOMEN IN THINGS! This month, in honor of Infinity War, we discussed the role of women in Marvel, how its changed over time, and where we see it going in the future.

Power through the technical difficulties and lend an ear to our discussion about a potential Black Widow solo film!

To begin we went over the origins of Marvel and how women have been portrayed in the MCU thus far, citing Black Widow, Gamora, and all the women in Black Panther as just a few examples of how well written most of the female Marvel characters actually are.

Catch yourself up before Infinity War with Josiah’s Some Assembly Required series of articles.

We talked about all of our favorite female Marvel characters and the potential they all have for any kind of solo endeavor, from a possible Gamora backstory to an Elektra solo series on Netflix.

So, does Marvel have a true problem with female characters? Is there a larger plan at play here to incorporate more female solo films in the future post infinity war? How do female superhero movies fare in a post-Wonder Woman world? We attempt to answer these questions and more, and Sammy B eats a burrito on this month’s episode of Girls Who Geek!
