MARVEL COMICS FEMALE SUPERHERO

—————————————————————

I’d have said that the message here is that, yes, men are being rendered redundant by robots but, phew, women still have nice breasts. (Another new movie, “Ex Machina,” in which the robot who makes men redundant has nice breasts, is a twofer.) But that seemed cynical, so I decided to consult the experts: I went to see the movie with a bunch of ten-year-old boys, and then read the comic book with two of them. To protect their secret identities, we decided I’d use their superhero names. Captain Comics is in the fourth grade and knows more about Marvel than Stan Lee. Mr. What?—who, like me, is often radically and fundamentally puzzled—is my youngest son.
