This one particularly bugs me when the woman is shown to be a capable, independent badass in her own right, but just as her story is getting going, as @Lumidaub@feddit.org put it, her story is cut short.
So that the “real hero” can start his.
It is so maddening when it happens, and while it is not exclusively the domain of American superhero comics, it is by far worst right there.
One of my biggest gripes with the Guardians of the Galaxy Gunn-ification. In the comics, the characters are actually competent, if uncouth and often anti-heroes. The movies turn them all into bumbling idiots, and Gamora, a no-bullshit, “will walk through a star, burn her skin off, then knock you out afterwards” badass, is a “soft-on the inside” love interest that gets fridged for not not one, but two guys. That scene with Thanos in Infinity War still pisses me off.
I stopped watching Marvel flicks at about the time of Black Panther, so I know only the one GoftG flick, and had no idea who any of the characters are anyway. :D
