And the cringeworthy "HOOOOOOWWWWWWWW-LD IS SHE?!"

I never thought of this before, probably because I wasn't as much an adult then... But, "Cherry Poppin' Daddies," is quite possibly the most misogynistic, offensive, machismo-bro name EVER for anything forever. Damn. Just damn.

Sheev? Sheet.

Isn't this how we wound up with 50 Shades of Grey and a 500% sales increase in "marital aids"?

"The female voice is something that has become more and more important to me as I've worked in the film industry," said [author Stephanie] Meyer. "

I have to admit, this could be very interesting if they wrote something subversive, acknowledging the creepiness of ancient monsters grooming young women and infants for subservience...

Well someone needs a hug.

Dude, if she were naked in the bedroom with a lover, I would agree with you that she was being depicted as a "sexual human." But she's not. She's covered in body paint, climbing on a building and sticking her butt up in the air for absolutely no reason. No one crouches like that, not even someone with spider powers.
Plu…

I believe the mentality here is women = more than their bodies, how about we stop reducing them to porn pin ups, okay?

I'm a little tired when people call out objectified images of women in comics that people jump to "WHY DO YOU HATE SEX?" as if the two had anything in common. There's a time and place for everything. Is a book that features a well like female character from a publisher who has admitted they are going after female…

I don't know what your perspective is but, mine is as a sex-positive woman who likes comics. This image is pretty dehumanizing, frankly, for pretty much the reasons Rob lists above. It's not a depiction of a sexual human, it's a demeaning caricature of a woman as a sex object.

Interesting debate jujitsu to claim that you are against women's bodies if you see this cover as inappropriately sexualized. Don't you see, Manara is the feminist for depicting an ass crack, while you hate women if you would rather see them punching out Skrulls and robots than bending over for your viewing pleasure.

Satan regrets his purchase. He's the Prince of Darkness, but he likes movies, too.

Yeah, but the first two had a nice balance between melodrama and goofiness. They never really lost sight of how fun and liberating Spidey's powers were.

Sadly, in Hollywood, such lessons go over the heads of those in charge. Just witness how it's still seen as a massive shock when a female-driven movie does great at the box office and such. Already, excuses are coming such as embracing the "it's just a space "Avengers"' mantra that's making the rounds. I'd like to see…

I want a dancing Baby Groot dammit!!

Also one very simple lesson. It is ok to try to make people feel joy. It's ok to feel joy. Joy is good especially when the premise of the film is ridiculous. This to me is why shows like Adventure Time work. Just go full on ridiculous with loads of sincerity and joy and it becomes infectious.

Great list and I agree with all of that. The only problem is that every couple of years Michael Bay teaches the studios the opposite of these 10 things.

Can we all just talk about how much Vin Diesel continues to play limited vocabulary giants and makes me cry every time.

Okay, so what i'm gonna say might be heresy, but I think Lord of the Rings is a good example of what you should not do - put a lot of thought into making a flawless world-building, but ignore your story.
