Rather quickly, we've gone from "EVERY MCU movie" to "pre Avengers MCU aside" , and Guardians doesn't count.

Aside from Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy, your statement is chillingly accurate.

I guess because two decades of writing excellent female characters and being open about supporting feminism was undone by five minutes of Black Widow being kidnapped by a lonely robot and rescued by a man (who she thanked by pushing him down a hole). Damn your misogynistic ways, Whedon!

It's more than implied, its outright stated, a couple times. Merlyn says that she would have lost without his influence, and even Oliver basically says "She should have been guilty, this verdict is f'ed up"

You hit it with the poor man's Ledger Joker comparison. I'm not a fan and I'm glad he's dead. Hopefully he'll stay that way.
