7. Female Superheroes Can Be Just As successful

While a change is coming, it is still amazing that in the mega-successful superhero genre we still haven’t a successful female superhero movie. In 2015 however, superhero TV has changed all that with three female-led superhero TV shows.

Agent Carter isn’t a superhero show of sorts, but it was borne out of the massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe as a period spy drama and one of the best shows on TV (sorry Agents Of SHIELD). Jessica Jones is a very different beast altogether, a serialised Netflix show following the massively successful Daredevil, that is part Noir crime drama, part psychological horror and just as successful.

And in the traditional vein, with have CBS’s Supergirl. Like The Flash, it has proved that superhero shows don’t have to be all dark and gritty. With a great lead and the ability to be fun, fresh and still embrace a whole host of comic book characters (see the recent introduction of a certain Justice League member) it has proven that female superheroes can be just as engaging as their male counterparts.

Even Agents Of SHIELD, got in one the act, transforming the okay Skye into super-powered Inhuman Daisy Johnson in the latter half of season two and putting her centre stage.
