If you’re not a white straight man (and a handsome, wealthy and athletic one at that), it’s hard to look at the recent and continuing slew of Marvel films and feel represented or even acknowledged. The blockbuster smashes seem determined to cast women and minorities as love interests or sidekicks (see Pepper Potts and War Machine in the “Iron Man” trilogy). Despite Black Widow’s prominence as a member of the Avengers and her popularity, she is romantically linked to the male characters throughout her appearances, and has not been given her own standalone film. It’s disappointing to say the least. Especially because fans of superhero comics and films come from all backgrounds, sexualities and genders. That’s where Netflix comes in. With the recent release of “Luke Cage,” Netflix is now home to three excellent original Marvel superhero series that feel closer in quality to an HBO Emmy winning drama than an overstuffed summer blockbuster.
