Wait. What?

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times:

"This shrewd mixture of slick comic-book mayhem, unmistakable sweetness and ear-splitting profanity is poised to be a popular culture phenomenon because of its exact sense of the fantasies of the young male fanboy population."

Okay, first off "young male fanboy" is redundant, but whatever. And second, you're missing something, reviewer.

I know my personal tastes can cross some supposed lines, but, um...fangirl here!

Sigh...I've long since learned to ignore the supposed male-domination of our films, books,and movies, but really?

Really?

I probably would have adored Hit Girl at 12 too, I grew up in the era of Batman (on tv) and my favorite episodes always had Bat Girl because she kicked ass. I think that while it's true that Star Trek and Star Wars have more male than female fans, although I am a huge fan of both, the female fans seem to be a bit more vocal and diversified. By that, I mean that while at a convention you're going to see more Kirks, Spocks, and McCoys, it's the women who, usually, write fanfiction, make videos, etc. At least that has been my experience.

I agree completely. In my experience, the female fans tend to be more "active" in their fandom pursuits (though men certainly do cosplay and role play) in terms of fanfic, etc.
