That’s why it’s so disappointing that virtually all of the major ones have been killed off, a statistic that has been added to with the recent premiere of Secret Invasion. Nowadays there are exponentially more female leads in the franchise, but many still view those from the MCU’s first several years with a certain reverence. The early years of the MCU had relatively few of them, but the ones that were present made an impact on audiences and some quickly became fan favorites. That being said, there’s one thing some Marvel fans have taken notice of that’s not-so-great in terms of the studio’s optics when it comes to its female characters. What started as a franchise with rumored infamous rules about the permitted roles of women (namely, no female leads and no female villains) and no female directors in sight has turned into one with women at the forefront of many projects - like Black Widow, WandaVision and Hawkeye. Marvel Studios has evolved a lot over the years in regards to its women, both in front of and behind the camera, but has killed off too many of its original female heroes.
