This is why Marvel is the greatest. They actually gave us what we wanted. đđđ
I have such mixed feelings when it comes to wlw media. On one hand, itâs often amazing and makes me want to believe in humanity and the power of love the way I did when I was a child.
On the other hand, 90% of the time some homophobic big-shot comes along and cuts it short and/or makes it so the creator has to wait til the last minute to make it canon so it doesnât get cancelled early.
Or worse yet, wlws are used as a side character who are killed off as a plot device or their entire character is their sexuality and they have no personality otherwise.
I want the media and I will eat up every morsel, but Iâll hold back out of fear of it getting ripped away or ruined and I hate it.
Iâm rewatching Marvelâs Runaways with my friend because theyâve never seen it and Deanoru changed my brain chemistry for several months the first time I watched the series, and I have to say I dislike how they handled Gertâs anxiety a lot more than I thought I did.
Like, I remember at the time appreciating that I had never seen a character confirm that they have anxiety on screen and take medication for it.
However.
I really really donât like how they handled it, particularly in the episodes with Topher. Like, the Topher episode was more focused on Molly, but it also compared Topher and Gertâs âaddictionsâ. Donât get me wrong, I take anxiety meds, and they can be incredibly helpful. But I donât think Iâve ever needed them so badly that I would risk getting my family caught not once, but twice.
Idk, I just feel like it wouldâve been a much more compelling storyline to have her slowly learn coping mechanisms to help her deal with her anxiety rather than treating her almost like an addict who is just a complete jerk to everyone around her because she canât get her meds.
