In the Marvel Cinematic Universe especially, representation is lacking. Every single person deserves to see someone like them on screen. It's never too early or too late for someone to find themselves in a fictional character. And for the girls who grew up and never got that when they were younger-they need that as well. For the girls who love superhero movies, we need superheroes that look like them, too. That is so valuable, and we need that to extend to the superhero realm as well. In 2016, Elena of Avalor premiered, making Elena the first Latina Disney princess. The girl who cried when she met Gal Gadot proves this. But it's also important to have badass Latina superheroes and badass female Asian superheroes, badass female superheroes of color. It is so important to have badass female superheroes. We also have Black Widow and Scarlet Witch in the films, and they are valuable-I don't want to discredit that. (source) Zendaya as Michelle in Spider-man: Homecoming. So, while there could certainly be more improvement, there are still people like Zendaya and Laura Harrier who are making an impact on the film industry-and the Marvel universe in particular. It's so rare to see not one but two women of color in the same movie, much less characters who are allowed to be love interests (while not a love interest in this film, Michelle has the potential to become one). Zendaya herself is one good example of how the Marvel Cinematic Universe is making strides to be more inclusive-along with Laura Harrier, she portrayed a well-developed female character in Spider-man: Homecoming. It's crazy because you don't even think about it - you're just used to it." Like, I didn't even feel that way until it was brought to my attention when you come up to like, an Oscar. I think that we have become kind of numb to the diversity issue when it comes to film. Zendaya, who played Michelle in Marvel's Spider-man: Homecoming, has this to say about diversity: For me, it can be easy to forget how important representation really is. Asians, Latinxs, and people of color don't have that luxury because representation is so sparse on television and in the media. (One example of this is the girl who cried when she met Gal Gadot.) For that reason, it's important to have all kinds of people represented in the stories that are told.Īs a white person, I'm used to seeing myself represented everywhere. Our identities are such an incredibly personal part of who we are, and seeing characters who share our identities is so validating. Network executives often like to argue that diversity doesn't sell, but AOS is one example that it does.įiction may not be real, but it's a reflection of reality, and we seek to see ourselves in the characters on our screens. Their fourth season especially was met with critical acclaim. This spotlight is thriving as well- AOS has had a four-season run, and they're gearing up for a fifth. However, AOS is ahead of the game by casting leads that aren't white and showing that they belong in the spotlight.
