I actually feel like Elektra is such a powerful character, I've always admired her. I agree with Katherine in that personal problems make them way more relatableVeronica Dagostinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079086515616226671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-49491477424912675552011-12-05T20:12:45.641-08:002011-12-05T20:12:45.641-08:00I agree with you that superheroine's real life...I agree with you that superheroine's real life issues are not something that the creators should avoid. In fact, I find it easier to connect with the heroines when they are a good combination of "super" and "ordinary." Like Buffy and Nikita, when heroines were seen struggling with personal problems and showing emotions and reactions like regular people, I found myself able to get into the story more easily and love them more.Katherine Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652377846270660753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-41714807477101875222011-12-01T13:31:58.997-08:002011-12-01T13:31:58.997-08:00This is such a good article!

For example, "Do exhibit self-control. Don't exhibit mental disorders:" don't be a "crazy woman" who gets too emotional and breaks down. "Do wear trendy clothes. Don't wear fetish clothes:" look smart and fashionable, just don't look like a slut to turn on the guys. "Do embrace girl power. Don't cling to man hatred:" self explanatory. (Smart yet sexy) girl power!elizabeth manzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438139193416977062noreply@blogger.com
