Madame Web might be the worst superhero movie of all time but what are its similarities to other female centric comic book movies? Is it indicative of a pattern unique to the super-heroine genre that predestined it to be bad or is there something much more sinister at play with the reception and creation of these films? Host, Megan Cruz, unpacks the unpleasant realities of being sold a "strong female character" and the discomfort that comes with finding yourself on the wrong side of internet discourse. Madame Web, the Marvels, and Birds of Prey are all part of the larger discussion on what we get, what we deserve, and why these movies are the way they are.
