She preferred the prodigy route, teaching herself how to play piano at the age of 11. She also studied violin and would play the organ in her parents’ barn.

From her very first release (1978’s “Wuthering Heights”), interpretive dance is in full effect and dramatics are dialed up to the max.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1pMMIe4hb4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which inspired fans to assemble en masse and recreate the movements and visuals, almost 40 years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8jQl_zOKm4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brilliant visuals aside, the song itself, which Bush wrote as a teen, expertly bottles up all the Gothic romance of Emily Bronte’s source material and expands on it. “Wuthering Heights” skyrocketed to #1 on the British charts and stayed there for a month, making history in the process. Kate became the first female artist to have a self-written number one hit in the UK. And the song’s impact endures: “Wuthering Heights” ranked #32 on \u003cem>Q Magazine’\u003c/em>s Top 100 Singles of All Time reader survey. OF ALL TIME!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like with “Wuthering Heights,” Kate doesn’t write about her own life that much, but instead prefers to inhabit a character and act as a conduit for that person’s story. A few examples:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzlofSthVwc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Breathing” is told from the perspective of a fetus whose mother is in the midst of a nuclear fallout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUTkdw4C0XA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Infant Kiss” is about a governess who realizes she might have the hots for one of the kids in her care. Don’t worry; he’s haunted by a sexy older ghost!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Wa0LdCsvM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Dreaming” is about the abuse experienced by the Aborigine in Australia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WP3SG05Uuw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And “Heads We’re Dancing” is about spending all night dancing with a hot dude... who turns out to be Hitler!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other songs deal with James Joyce, \u003cem>The Shining\u003c/em>, Vietnam, Tennyson, Joan of Arc and the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich’s rain-making machine. Basically, Kate will educate you more thoroughly than your high school did. Have you ever wanted to learn 117 decimal points of pi? You're in luck!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhjrfTwT32E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the content and songwriting aren’t the only impressive things about her music. Her vocal range is ridiculous in its vastness:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEtD7fd_7mA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point of the above video is to point out how laudable Kate’s vocal ability is... but also to point out that you should never ever attempt to sing one of her songs at karaoke. I know it might seem like a fun idea, but just don’t. Trust me; I’ve been there and am still reeling from the shame and failure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By now, you’re getting an idea of how original and groundbreaking Kate’s music is. Her albums have inspired many artists who’ve come in her wake, such as Björk, Tori Amos and Bat for Lashes. But she also has influenced a few musicians that might surprise you, like Tupac, Courtney Love, Prince and Johnny Rotten. Tricky from Massive Attack has said: “I don’t believe in God, but if I did, [Kate Bush’s] music would be my Bible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLaJaEgm3KQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the prize for biggest celebrity fan goes to Outkast’s Big Boi, who has \u003ca href=\"http://www.spin.com/2011/11/short-history-big-bois-kate-bush-obsession/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gone on record in multiple interviews\u003c/a> about his love for Kate’s music, a love that goes all the way back to his middle school days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2004/feb/22/popandrock.outkast\">a 2004 \u003cem>Guardian\u003c/em> profile\u003c/a>, Big Boi was in the middle of saying “Kate Bush is my favorite artist of all time,” when he was interrupted by his “Babooshka” ringtone. In July 2010, Big Boi told \u003cem>British GQ\u003c/em> about his efforts to track Kate down: “I’ve been trying for some years now. She’s like a kinda recluse. She lives somewhere in a castle around here and plays some sort of oversized piano like the Phantom of the Opera! You can hear music come out the windows! I’m looking for her, know what I’m saying? I’ve come over here to camp out for a month just to find her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Boi apparently spread the Kate Bush love to his band mate Andre 3000, who had this to say: “Kate Bush’s music opened my mind up. She was so bugged-out, man, but I felt her. She’s so f*ckin’ dope, so underrated and so off the radar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it’s good enough for Outkast, it’s good enough for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also good enough for Mystikal of “Shake Ya Ass” fame, who samples Kate’s “Full House” in “Ain’t Gonna See Tomorrow”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEN5Uo1ljRE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Maxwell, who covered “This Woman's Work”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkeCNeHcmXY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.whosampled.com/Kate-Bush/\">And there's a lot more sampling and covering where these came from\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recently, she had only done one tour in 1979 called The Tour of Life. There were 17 costume changes, a magician, interpretive dancing and the like. And then she stopped touring completely, as if to say, \u003cem>I don’t need your validation. I will release life-changing music on my own schedule whenever I want and you will flake on your friends to stay home and cry to it.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A44wwRgzGuw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>35 years after her one and only tour, she returned to the stage for a 22 night residency in London. All dates sold out in under 15 minutes. To many fans’ surprise, she didn’t play anything from her first four albums. Her real talk explanation: “I can’t possibly think of old songs of mine because they’re past now. And quite honestly I don’t like them any more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fans have grown accustomed to being patient with Kate’s slow, considered pace. You think waiting for the Frank Ocean album is hard? Try waiting 12 years between 1993’s \u003cem>The Red Shoes\u003c/em> and 2005’s \u003cem>Aerial\u003c/em>. A writer by the name of John Mendelssohn was inspired by this Kate-less expanse of time and wrote a novel called \u003cem>Waiting for Kate Bush\u003c/em>, which is about a bunch of obsessed fans hanging out in a boarding house, waiting for her return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver lining for you non-believers: Because you’ve been sleeping on all this brilliance, you get to skip the agony of staring dramatically out of windows for years, longing for another Kate Bush release. You instantly get to enjoy 10 whole albums without delay! So what are you waiting for?!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In case you don’t know where to start, here are a few suggestions:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp43OdtAAkM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pllRW9wETzw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VerK4zwMRQw\u003c/p>\n\n",

Kate became the first female artist to have a self-written number one hit in the UK.

Her albums have inspired many artists who’ve come in her wake, such as Björk, Tori Amos and Bat for Lashes. But she also has influenced a few musicians that might surprise you, like Tupac, Courtney Love, Prince and Johnny Rotten.

In July 2010, Big Boi told \u003cem>British GQ\u003c/em> about his efforts to track Kate down: “I’ve been trying for some years now. She’s like a kinda recluse. She lives somewhere in a castle around here and plays some sort of oversized piano like the Phantom of the Opera! You can hear music come out the windows! I’m looking for her, know what I’m saying? I’ve come over here to camp out for a month just to find her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Big Boi apparently spread the Kate Bush love to his band mate Andre 3000, who had this to say: “Kate Bush’s music opened my mind up. She was so bugged-out, man, but I felt her. She’s so f*ckin’ dope, so underrated and so off the radar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it’s good enough for Outkast, it’s good enough for you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was also good enough for Mystikal of “Shake Ya Ass” fame, who samples Kate’s “Full House” in “Ain’t Gonna See Tomorrow”:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/SEN5Uo1ljRE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/SEN5Uo1ljRE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>And Maxwell, who covered “This Woman's Work”:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/gkeCNeHcmXY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/gkeCNeHcmXY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.whosampled.com/Kate-Bush/\">And there's a lot more sampling and covering where these came from\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recently, she had only done one tour in 1979 called The Tour of Life.

All dates sold out in under 15 minutes. To many fans’ surprise, she didn’t play anything from her first four albums. Her real talk explanation: “I can’t possibly think of old songs of mine because they’re past now. And quite honestly I don’t like them any more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fans have grown accustomed to being patient with Kate’s slow, considered pace. You think waiting for the Frank Ocean album is hard? Try waiting 12 years between 1993’s \u003cem>The Red Shoes\u003c/em> and 2005’s \u003cem>Aerial\u003c/em>. A writer by the name of John Mendelssohn was inspired by this Kate-less expanse of time and wrote a novel called \u003cem>Waiting for Kate Bush\u003c/em>, which is about a bunch of obsessed fans hanging out in a boarding house, waiting for her return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silver lining for you non-believers: Because you’ve been sleeping on all this brilliance, you get to skip the agony of staring dramatically out of windows for years, longing for another Kate Bush release. You instantly get to enjoy 10 whole albums without delay!

Apart from this work itself, we look specifically at its hanging. Observers of youth trends will note that several years ago, Drake stated that he and his team had \"started from the bottom, now we here,\" indicating a climb of the socio-economic ladder of the rap industry. The fair's preparators return the phrase to its literal usage in height measurement by placing Drake high atop other art on the wall -- all the easier for the \"One Dance\" human meme to surveil upon and steal from Bay Area rap flows, and survey from which upcoming regional artist he might next siphon cultural cachet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This has been your 2016 installment of Celebrity Portraiture, County Fair edition\u003c/strong>.

Observers of youth trends will note that several years ago, Drake stated that he and his team had \"started from the bottom, now we here,\" indicating a climb of the socio-economic ladder of the rap industry. The fair's preparators return the phrase to its literal usage in height measurement by placing Drake high atop other art on the wall -- all the easier for the \"One Dance\" human meme to surveil upon and steal from Bay Area rap flows, and survey from which upcoming regional artist he might next siphon cultural cachet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>This has been your 2016 installment of Celebrity Portraiture, County Fair edition\u003c/strong>.

Because we’ve always hated ‘80s Steve-holes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the souffle-haired, BMW 733i-driving, Nancy-charming asshole who possesses a Trump-sized empathy streak for sensitive weirdos, Steve was supposed to follow the ‘80s arc of dying a miserable death — or at least not getting the girl in the end while cuddled up next to her in a f*cking reindeer sweater at Christmastime. Earning the heart of the smart female protagonist is a resolution that for years has been reserved for the sensitive guy bullied by the high school elite, not the smug preppy dude with a backyard pool. (Not to mention a guy who, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/eastwes/status/756616898461179904\" target=\"_blank\">as one astute Twitter commenter noted\u003c/a>, is coiffed to look like “all of Crowded House combined in one face.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31674\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/giphy.gif\" alt=\"steve\" width=\"480\" height=\"239\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wanted the phlegm-flower monster to serve Steve a bloody eel sandwich so Nancy could cuddle with Jonathan. Steve’s demise is our expected reward after watching him heartily pressure Nancy to appease so many early-in-the-\u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>-season boners and then go on to break Jonathan’s camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why does Steve escape death while the \u003ca href=\"https://theringer.com/everyone-needs-a-friend-like-barb-a91b9937ba64?gi=dd2cf1e989bf\" target=\"_blank\">internet-beloved Barb \u003c/a>gets stuffed into an Upside Down coffin? The simple answer is the actor who plays Steve helped the character get a pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/stranger-things-finale-duffer-brothers-interview-season-2-1201816664/\" target=\"_blank\">interview with \u003cem>Variety\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> showrunners the Duffer Brothers said Steve, who in the original pilot is “the biggest douchebag on the planet,” wasn’t supposed to be Nancy’s snuggle buddy in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of credit goes to Joe Keery [who plays Steve], because he was much more likable and charming than we originally had envisioned,” said Ross Duffer. “Joe was so good we started to fall in love with the idea that he has an arc himself.” Nancy helped make Steve a slightly better person by the end. Dammit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matt Duffer added that in the typical movie world trajectory, Nancy (Natalia Dyer) would end up with the “nicer kinder gentler” guy Jonathan (Charlie Heaton). “But it felt almost more real to us that she would wind up back with Steve,” he said, “this heartthrob who she’s had a crush on for a long time. It’s surprising, but it felt more honest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31676\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/07/stranger-things.1.1.2566000.65.gif\" alt=\"stranger-things.1.1.2566000.65\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you run the \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> tape backwards you can — almost — see how Steve could come out on top. After all, he erases the Nancy slut-shaming graffiti (that he helped write!) and he fights the bad monster. He worked hard to change, and Jonathan \u003cem>was\u003c/em> being a creeper by taking those photos of Nancy stripping in the first place, so maybe Jonathan deserved to lose those photo privileges. But ‘80s movie history has hardwired \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> fans to loathe Steve nonetheless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why can’t we forgive Steve just because he hit the monster with a nail bat? Because there’ve been too many Steve-holes before him. Our movie history —and an election cycle with another bratty, souffle-haired bully — has taught us that elitist dickwads rarely become good guys by the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As proof of this bias, I hereby give you a brief history of the ‘80s high school jerks who paved the way for our hatred of \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>’ Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steff in \u003cem>Pretty in Pink\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35tfXSINbCQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ‘80s, James Spader was the classic affluent douchebag fans loved to hate (and perhaps secretly crush out on). It all started with his breakout role as Steff in \u003cem>Pretty in Pink\u003c/em> — a movie where he calls Molly Ringwald’s artsy Andie a bitch, a mutant, trash, and “low-grade ass.” Steff is the perfect foil to blinky-eyed Blane (Andrew McCarthy), whose dick is caught in the typical ‘80s class divide (see also: Spader in \u003cem>Tuff Turf\u003c/em>) between what’s expected of him and what he really wants. Unlike Steve in \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>, Steff never redeems himself — he gets tackled by Andie’s BFF Duckie in the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steff paved the way for Spader to graduate from high school prick to college-aged (but definitely not in college) drug dealer prick, Rip, in \u003cem>Less Than Zero\u003c/em>. Side note: Is it just me or did Spader seem to spend the ‘80s only acting in movies with either\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6gpndlepiM\" target=\"_blank\"> McCarthy or with Robert Downey Jr.\u003c/a>?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>All of William Zabka’s characters in the ‘80s asshole trilogy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qco4RGHhJGo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with James Spader, William Zabka was the other recognizable blonde ‘80s asshole. He’s perhaps best remembered for playing Johnny in the \u003cem>Karate Kid\u003c/em> series (\u003cem>Karate Kid II\u003c/em> was brilliantly parodied, starring Zabka and most of the original cast, in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olQ3vaiv47I\" target=\"_blank\">this music video\u003c/a> by the band No More Kings). But Zabka was a dick in \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1egnKKkm54\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Just One of the Guys\u003c/em> too\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>A little over a year ago, comic book-loving women all over the country sat down to watch the first trailers for CBS's brand-new \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbs.com/shows/supergirl/\">\u003cem>Supergirl\u003c/em>\u003c/a> series, only to find themselves filled with what can only be described as Hulk-levels of rage. Here was \u003ca href=\"http://www.dccomics.com/characters/supergirl\">Kara Zor-El\u003c/a>, a character easily as strong as her cousin Superman, reduced to a nervous, giggling office underling consumed with thoughts of cute guys and wardrobe dilemmas, instead of, oh, you know, flying and saving people and setting fire to things using her goddamn EYES.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a huge disappointment that came just a couple of weeks after \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> and Scarlett Johansson had brilliantly skewered sexist double standards for female comic book heroes in Hollywood, via a skit that stuck Black Widow in a rom-com. The skit was so on point, one can't help but wonder if someone at NBC got access to the \u003cem>Supergirl\u003c/em> trailer before it was released and copied it almost shot for shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5KgpN38hM]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zmji_ioFXc]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time it felt like confirmation that women in comic books were simply never going to get their due on screen -- whether in movies or on TV. Then last week, a couple of truly amazing things emerged from this year's San Diego Comic Con. The first was this little slice of character-faithful, Amazonian baddassery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGoQhFb4NM]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(It's okay. Take a moment to catch your breath. We know. It's awesome.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second was the news that the rather magnificent Brie Larson is going to be playing Captain Marvel. That's right, folks: the same comic book giant that has steadfastly refused to give Black Widow (or any other woman) her own movie just decided that the Captain Marvel of their new project would be female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For context, in the Marvel Universe, four out of the six Captain Marvel incarnations have been male, and the Carol Danvers character only graduated to the title of Captain Marvel three years ago, having spent the preceding 40 years with the moniker Ms. Marvel. Sure, we have to wait until 2019 to see this thing, but knowing it's happening at all is comforting for everyone who's been desperate to see Marvel do right by its female fans -- and characters -- for literally years now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvel has apparently, finally, taken notice. The giant has been making several overdue efforts to level the playing field recently. After announcing the great feminist writer \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/books/black-panther-marvel-comics-roxane-gay-ta-nehisi-coates-wakanda.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Roxane Gay had been brought on to pen a new book for the \u003cem>Black Panther\u003c/em> series\u003c/a>, they closed last week's Comic Con in San Diego with the now-annual \"Women of Marvel\" panel, which shines a light on all Marvel women -- be they characters or behind the scenes -- while also seeking to empower women in the audience to work in the industry. This is, frankly, huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that, finally, just when we'd all but given up hope, comic book giants are at last making an effort to tap into the section of their audience that has existed forever, but been woefully underrepresented on the big screen. One theory: It's possible that the success of \u003cem>Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u003c/em> has made comic bigwigs realize that sci-fi and fantasy movies don't necessarily lose money by putting a penis-less human in the lead role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen markets have been ahead of the equality curve for years now. \u003cem>The Hunger Games\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Divergent\u003c/em> series proved that female leads -- teenage ones, no less! -- can kick ass all the way to a multi-billion dollar franchise while appealing to all genders. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, yeah. But just as the toy industry assumes no one wants to play with a girl action figure -- even when she's the star of the movie (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/06/whereisrey-shes-on-her-way-says-hasbro/\" target=\"_blank\">#WhereIsRey\u003c/a>, anyone?) -- so has the comic book industry persisted with the assumption that women don't \"get\" superheroes, or even like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are big enough hits, it could change the face of movie superheroes forever -- which is more important than you might think. Because if women aren't given the space to be big and brave and bold, even in a fantasy world on a screen, what hope is there for the rest of us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Here was \u003ca href=\"http://www.dccomics.com/characters/supergirl\">Kara Zor-El\u003c/a>, a character easily as strong as her cousin Superman, reduced to a nervous, giggling office underling consumed with thoughts of cute guys and wardrobe dilemmas, instead of, oh, you know, flying and saving people and setting fire to things using her goddamn EYES.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a huge disappointment that came just a couple of weeks after \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> and Scarlett Johansson had brilliantly skewered sexist double standards for female comic book heroes in Hollywood, via a skit that stuck Black Widow in a rom-com. The skit was so on point, one can't help but wonder if someone at NBC got access to the \u003cem>Supergirl\u003c/em> trailer before it was released and copied it almost shot for shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Compare and contrast:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/j_5KgpN38hM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/j_5KgpN38hM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/0Zmji_ioFXc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/0Zmji_ioFXc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time it felt like confirmation that women in comic books were simply never going to get their due on screen -- whether in movies or on TV. Then last week, a couple of truly amazing things emerged from this year's San Diego Comic Con. The first was this little slice of character-faithful, Amazonian baddassery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Take a moment to catch your breath. We know. It's awesome.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second was the news that the rather magnificent Brie Larson is going to be playing Captain Marvel. That's right, folks: the same comic book giant that has steadfastly refused to give Black Widow (or any other woman) her own movie just decided that the Captain Marvel of their new project would be female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For context, in the Marvel Universe, four out of the six Captain Marvel incarnations have been male, and the Carol Danvers character only graduated to the title of Captain Marvel three years ago, having spent the preceding 40 years with the moniker Ms. Marvel. Sure, we have to wait until 2019 to see this thing, but knowing it's happening at all is comforting for everyone who's been desperate to see Marvel do right by its female fans -- and characters -- for literally years now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marvel has apparently, finally, taken notice. The giant has been making several overdue efforts to level the playing field recently. After announcing the great feminist writer \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/23/books/black-panther-marvel-comics-roxane-gay-ta-nehisi-coates-wakanda.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Roxane Gay had been brought on to pen a new book for the \u003cem>Black Panther\u003c/em> series\u003c/a>, they closed last week's Comic Con in San Diego with the now-annual \"Women of Marvel\" panel, which shines a light on all Marvel women -- be they characters or behind the scenes -- while also seeking to empower women in the audience to work in the industry. This is, frankly, huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seems that, finally, just when we'd all but given up hope, comic book giants are at last making an effort to tap into the section of their audience that has existed forever, but been woefully underrepresented on the big screen. One theory: It's possible that the success of \u003cem>Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u003c/em> has made comic bigwigs realize that sci-fi and fantasy movies don't necessarily lose money by putting a penis-less human in the lead role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teen markets have been ahead of the equality curve for years now. \u003cem>The Hunger Games\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Divergent\u003c/em> series proved that female leads -- teenage ones, no less! -- can kick ass all the way to a multi-billion dollar franchise while appealing to all genders. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, yeah. But just as the toy industry assumes no one wants to play with a girl action figure -- even when she's the star of the movie (\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2016/01/06/whereisrey-shes-on-her-way-says-hasbro/\" target=\"_blank\">#WhereIsRey\u003c/a>, anyone?) -- so has the comic book industry persisted with the assumption that women don't \"get\" superheroes, or even like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are big enough hits, it could change the face of movie superheroes forever -- which is more important than you might think. Because if women aren't given the space to be big and brave and bold, even in a fantasy world on a screen, what hope is there for the rest of us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
