There’s a lot to unpick here. First, though, some context.

Marvel’s Endgame is the sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, which famously marked the first time ever that Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Okoye (Danai Gurira), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) all appeared on screen together.

Whether it’s leading an army, performing surgery or making the ultimate sacrifice, each played a vital role in the storyline. And, best of all, writers never once stooped to that tired old plot device of pitting their multiple female leads against one another: there were no catfights, no feuds, no queen bees. Instead, these women worked together, supported each other and were the absolute definition of #girlpower – a point made abundantly clear when Scarlet Witch was knocked down by a particularly twisted enemy, who then proceeded to tell her that she would die alone.

“She’s not alone,” came Black Widow’s voice from off-screen, as she and Okoye stormed in to offer some much needed back-up.

It was just three little words, but they were a staunch reminder that Marvel’s female superheroes are no longer alone – they are a team of impossible strength and force. And they act as something of a promise, too: Marvel has sworn that these amazing badasses – all every bit as complex, engaging and necessary to the cinematic universe as their male counterparts – will never again be reduced to the role of ‘token’ woman.
