I really wish there were an Agatha Heterodyne: Girl Genius animated series. Especially if there could be a campy what-on-Earth-were-they-thinki­ng crossover in which she meets Dr. Doom. Because I'm kinda lame like that. ^_^;

Anywho! I'll be following this series with interest. Keep up the good work, fellas.

@FurikoMaru - If you dig us, feel free to donate a few bucks via PAYPAL to KistlerAlan@gmail.com. We could use the support to continue this series. And tell your friends! Fun idea with Agatha, btw. :-)

LOVE this. I love that you guys recognize that women characters can be heros in their own right and not just "plot devices."

[CrazySexyGeeksSeries]

@MeaDawn - Well, of course! I grew up with a couple girls as great friends and as a kid I was thrilled by Ripley killing Aliens and Sarah Connor fighting Terminators. So I never understood why you wouldn't look at women as kick-ass heroes in the same way you look at male heroes. Be assured, this topic will be revisited a few times. - Alan

X-men female characters don't really count bc they are a part of a team. and Batwoman and Spiderwoman don't count either bc they are just female versions of the orginal male stars.

[CrazySexyGeeksSeries]

@Batmary21 - That's your criteria, not ours. With that strictness, Captain America, Wolverine and the Thing are not super-heroes. Also, although Batwoman emulates Batman, she has different motivations, morality and methods. Likewise, Spider-Woman acts nothing like Spider-Man, is a govt. agent rather than a crime-fighter, has completely different powers and has no connection to Spidey other than her name. She didn't even know there WAS a Spider-Man until they met. It's not like Batman & Robin.

wow i love the great break down of females i now feel like im just scraching the surface thanks.

Why does this seem like a channel for retarded geeks? Don't get me wrong i'm TOTAL geek myself, i just think it's dumbing down the average geek. What geek doesn't want to read or work things out for themselves? i thought that was the premise for being a geek.

-5%? Hot diggity!

[InuRanma44]

Das a crapload of heroines. O.O

[ChaoticButterfly]

@lemonsnickers1 I can't blame you there. I wouldn't slap her, or yell at her. Everyone is different, and if that's what she likes, more power to the character. Even superheroines have moments where you want to smack them down in their history somewhere...except maybe Big Barda, cause she is awesome. A superheroine AND a housewife. ^_^

The current Batgirl is my favorite right now, and Birds of Prey is pretty amazing to. It's a team I suppose, but team of woman. In fact, it that vain, we had Birds of Prey once upon a time on TV, but despite my belief that is was much better then Smallville, it didn't make it. :-(

This is great. Keep up the good work.

I love you guys! I'm doing my Extended Essay for IB on the impact of superheroes on child moral development and your channel helps a lot!

[lemonsnickers1]

@ChaoticButterfly which is why i am a complete twilight virgin :D as soon as it became "standard" for all girls to read it, i lost interest in wanting to have anything to do with it. the dude in this video asked "do you think you would yell at her for not standing up for herself a little bit?" i wouldn't yell at her, i'd probably slap her. i think it's an insult to all fighting hot superheroines for bella to even be inculded in the same category as them.

[lemonsnickers1]

Elektra got her own film :) but yea I defiantly agree that there's needs to be more solo-female movies. i mean, batman, superman, spiderman, hulk--they all got their own films! we need some more strong-willed women out there fighting for all glory and justice...or even a movie about a woman villain would be pretty sweet too. there's plenty of them out there, I just wish Hollywood would dip into that source already. it's a hot lady fighting, you're bound to make some money off of it.

@sentienceISi Not true. Like Amber Benson mentioned, attend any given Con these days or walk into a comic/geek paraphenalia shop and the gender split is pretty solidly 50/50. And I think the number of male Buffy fans blows the theory that DudeBros don't want a series with powerful women clean out of the water.
