women and film - your first deas

Gender and superheroes.

The Watchmen, Elektra, Tomb Raider, The Incredibles.

Male gaze excludes women from protagonist position - but there are exceptions - Alien, Lara Croft.

What about the ultimate protagonist/hero position of the SUPER hero?

Explore how superhero women are different from superhero men. Ever on their own? (Wonder Woman 2011 imdb) What powers (becoming invisible! strretching! creating a sheild! - all from the Incredibles and very female, stereotyped superpowers). Are they objectified? etc etc.

Great project.

Primary research - how a real audience of men or women (or both) respond to range of reps.
