Consistently, female superheroes have begun to acquire more noteworthy portrayal on the big screen. While this progression took off in the correct course, it has been stopped because of the consistent hyper sexualization of characters like DC’s Harley Quinn and Mera.
In the DC film “Aquaman,” Mera isn’t just Aquaman’s adoration interest yet in addition has one of her very own kind superpowers. Notwithstanding, these powers are eclipsed because of the point of convergence being Mera’s unnatural, hypersexualized ensemble. Mera’s few powerful capacities are portrayed all through the film, giving female crowds a diverse and charming legend to turn upward to. Be that as it may, with Mera’s uncovering outfit appearing differently in relation to an appropriately full-inclusion ensemble of her male partner, crowds can’t view her in a serious way.
Harley Quinn in DC’s “Self destruction Squad” is one more person whose qualities are taken cover behind externalization and a harmful connection among her and the Joker. In Harley Quinn’s starting scene in the film, her history is that she was once a specialist who went gaga for her patient, Joker. The story pushes ahead with the two as a couple, and Harley Quinn is later moving in a glass case at a club. The Joker whistles at her to come to him. This scene not just eroticizes Harley Quinn through her provocative dance in an enclosure yet additionally through Joker’s depiction of responsibility for. The Joker whistling for her to come to him was like the manner in which an individual would require their pet, adding to the thought that Harley Quinn is accommodating to him.
These portrayals of ladies, particularly in superhuman movies, where they should be champions and pioneers, offer underhanded portrayals of tough ladies on screen. While these movies get the opportunity to offer strong jobs for ladies, this power is decreased when they are sexualized in any capacity.Young ladies and ladies should have portrayal in superhuman movies that don’t put them into classes of sexualization or generalization. A lady with superpowers shouldn’t be uncovered or depend on a male person to be a superhuman. Sensualizing ladies can seriously harm the confidence of young women and children watching the movies.
In recent movies such as the newest Black Widow, two strong women are represented without having any dependence on a male counterpart. The strength and character of each women is the sole focus of their roles rather than having any form of sexualization. This recent depiction shows a tremendous step in the right direction, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.

I think you can make the exigence known in the very beginning – show how these movies are affecting young girls in the very first paragraph/sentence to hook readers in. I also like how you introduced and summarized your thoughts, and I would make the thesis stronger to really show what this report is going to be about. what research will you be analyzing and what evidence will you report to support your thesis?

1). Comment on the title. How does it offer a way forward on the issue? Does it hint at or echo the paper’s thesis? Make suggestions.
You don’t have a title, but you could just relate to something such as “Over-Sexualization of Women” or “Harmful Gender Norms in Action Films”
2). Does this piece’s title and introduction respond to an exigence?-Does it make the issue pressing or connect to other pressing needs and issues? Make suggestions.
Yes, this introduction talks about how important the representation of strong women in film is. You do an excellent job talking about how women being over-sexualized with male dependence is harmful to young girls. This is an extremely important matter that is not talked about enough. You specifically talk about women in superhero movies, and you use good examples of how they are over-sexualized. I would suggest maybe giving one example of a woman who wasn’t given much personality or character development.
3). Comment on the thesis. Does it set up a clear argumentative claim? Is it advancing a specific policy or practice? Can you imagine how the rest of the argument will unfold?
It sets up the claim that these stereotypes are extremely harmful to young girls. You talk about how they must change this and how they have already taken steps to do so. I would suggest adding a small policy that would help with this change.

I love the topic. You have great analysis throughout on what I believe is a important topic today. I would make sure that you have a policy proposal and thesis at the end. Maybe keep some of this for a background, but adapt it to a proposal you identify. I am excited to see where you take this!

Yes. It makes the issue of the over-sexualized representation of women in films prominent and elaborates on it.
3). Comment on the thesis. Does it set up a clear argumentative claim? Is it advancing a specific policy or practice? Can you imagine how the rest of the argument will unfold?
The one thing that I would add is some sort of policy that the film industry or even the government, if possible, could add.
