My strategy was to say no most of the time, unless I could actually think of a yes situation :hehe:

This is why when we go to the comic book store. My daughter and I pick out comics with girls or women as the main character :smug:

I was looking at other non superhero films that failed it too, all of the Lord of the Rings films, Avatar, the Star wars Trilogy

I never heard of it before but my God when i actually started thinking about the last few films I watched I'm not even sure that any of them would even pass. Seems like such a low standard as well to have a film pass

And also, I'm finding it hard to think of a film that wouldn't pass if the same rules had to be applied to men. That's pretty sad actually

Hollywood's about 50 years behind their audience, with things like this. I don't get it.

Oh and I got 7, but I guessed most of them because I don't usually like superhero films
