Quote

In between “Black Widow” and Britney Spears lies a gulf of women, both able-bodied and disabled, who are seeing their stories writ large. With Spears as a real-life example and “Black Widow” tackling the same topics via fiction, there suddenly feels a greater sense of community and understanding about being exposed.

At the same time, it’s a bittersweet victory, considering Spears remains under the same stifling conservatorship (for now), while Marvel still has a long way to go when it comes to promoting true equity and inclusion, both in front of and behind the camera. For now, both of these pop culture queens provide a way forward, pushing for a future when vulnerability is no longer something to manipulate, on screen and off.

Yes, I saw it and Britney came to my mind, with the whole story of girls being stolen, trafficked, and their reproductive organs being removed :(

Watched it this past weekend and there are similarities with Britney's situation like the control over the girls bodies and even the broken family... as a Marvel fan it made me happy as well
