9 Feminist ‘Deadpool’ Moments, From Negasonic’s Appearance To Vanessa’s Sex

9 Feminist ‘Deadpool’ Moments, From Negasonic’s Appearance To Vanessa’s Sex Positive Attitude“For a movie about a foul mouthed, anti-hero man in a red suit, Deadpool is actually pretty feminist. Not only does the film feature two women with pretty badass mutant powers — Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Angel Dust — it also has a relatively strong female love interest in Vanessa. But hey, as far as feminism in superhero movies go, the bar is set pretty low. Fans are still waiting on a Black Widow movie from Marvel, and very few female characters in the on-screen superhero world have escaped the traditional “girlfriend” role of becoming the damsel in distress. Unfortunately, Deadpool does fall into some of the old girlfriend tropes with Vanessa, but for the most part, the female characters aren’t boxed into typical gender roles. There are plenty of feminist moments from Deadpool that prove that women can kick ass, too.Deadpool might be relatively feminist, but if you’re looking for a movie that will truly break the mold, this isn’t it.

Not only do they give Deadpool a run for his money on the battlefield, but they also challenge him mentally. A superhero movie with two female characters ready and willing to best Deadpool in a battle of whits and strength? Sounds pretty feminist to me. But, just in case you don’t believe me, take a look at these feminist moments in Deadpool.”See the list hereThe movie may be “slightly feminist,” but Negasonic Teenage Warhead AKA Brianna Hildebrand is full out feminist.  -- source link
