Behind every great female hero are her awesome, hyper-masculine male friends.

Right?

At least that seems to be the prevailing logic in most of the marketing we’ve seen for mega-franchises like Avengers: Age of Ultron. Remember how awesome Black Widow was in the movie? Apparently, the consumer products department slept through her scenes. This isn’t a problem that’s endemic to Marvel per se; rather it has been happening for years and years. But what about those of us who actually want to play with our female protagonists?

Today on a brand new Nerdist Presents, we take a long, hard look in the black mirror of action figure commercials to examine this ongoing issue of pushing our favorite female characters aside in favor of her lame-ass friends (even if they do come with kung-fu patriarchy grip). But since we don’t want to see the red dot of a S.H.I.E.L.D. sniper rifle from Marvel’s (or any other company’s) legal team, we’ll be introducing you Lady Justice, the star of the greatest blockbuster never made, Lady Justice & the Protectors! Who is Lady Justice, you ask? Only the slickest, sickest superhero in town.

“She puts the X chromosome in extreme” – a reviewer, probably.

She can save the world, but can she save her ailing toy line? Find out on the latest edition of Nerdist Presents.
