The Brave and the Bold News and Discussion Thread

Yes, me thinking a job directing a major female lead superhero movie in an industry/genre where female filmmakers are massively underrepresented is me advocating for strict gender segregation in filmmaking. You can tell this from my post by the part where I say there actually is a male director who'd be good for Wonder Woman (a character where its far, far more important to have a woman make it than Supergirl for a variety of reasons) and the part where I cleverly never said female directors can only director girly movies but hid it in some sort of evil Zodiac code that can be discovered if you decipher my fiendish post correctly.

The only job a woman is getting is for a female lead superhero movie. And they have to be exceptional. And even then, they're constantly undermined. The superhero space, like the entire blockbuster space, defaults to mediocre white guys.

Hilarious convo mainly because Gillepsie has made multiple films better than most comic book films. He'll do alright.

Yes, very funny how women and minorities are treated like trash in the business.

Really? Lol don't do that. I very clearly only mentioned Gillepsie because that's the aspect of the conversation I was speaking on.

You commented on the conversation as a whole. He as a very small part of it. The Lazarus Pit, who thinks your post is swell, decided to attack Sword because he dare speak the idea that a superhero movie about a woman should be directed by a woman. His reasoning, obvious to those who aren't blinded by their fanboy wars or general sexism.

If you’re serious, that’s your prerogative, but I personally think this take is so dumb that I can’t take anything you say seriously. Yikes, glad you have zero power at DC. You’re a staff member here entrusted to help guide the conversation and these are the kinds of opinions you’re sharing. It’s ruinous to this site’s reputation to have someone like you in power here saying such stupid things. This site is ****ed.

Wanting female directors to tell female stories is a valid concern but not seeing the movie just because it’s a male director, when you don’t even have any idea how they’re going to approach the story or anything is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen here.

Apparently dumb enough to call a staff member stupid for not wanting to see a movie and then continue to troll via reactions. May 2026 bring wisdom, should you choose to return after vacation.

Small part of it or not, I only mentioned Gillepsie because I was only speaking on GIllepsie.

I can't control what Lazarus likes or says in the thread. Him liking my comment about Gillepsie's work doesn't mean I agree with his outburst toward Sword or that I'm some ignorant a** hole who thinks women or minorities don't get treated like **** in general let alone the film industry. Like I said, don't do that.
