Do modern Marvel shows ever kill female characters? Or only males are allowed to die else it's "women in fridge"?

It's my understanding a whole bunch of women died in that Agatha show, but I haven't seen it so I can't confirm. And the cast was all women and one flaming faggot, so

It happens but the damsel victims are getting less and less common. Only Gamora and Aunt May come to my mind eventhough they were revived later. Black Widow went out heroically. Elektra had 2 different instances.

Karen definitely has a thick plot armor however. Only men around her (that matter, noone cares about extras) get killed when she comes close to danger.

That was closer to Back in Black. Kingpin kills Aunt May after Peter goes public during Civil War. That fucking event ruined alot of the Marvel roster. Spidey got it way worse with One More Day where they tried to "fix" him.

I am not a fan of Far From Home and expected a total trainwreck of a sequel after seeing that cliffhanger. Glad they shifted the focus on multiverse bs and nostalgia of the previous Spideys. I prefer it over whatever the fuck Mephisto did.

I forgot that no way home was pretty much "one more day but not complete shit"

no they didn't, those came out when people were the most checked out of the MCU nobody gave a shit about any of that. I think I actually saw both shows (or at least some of them) and I don't remember a single scene in either. they left to little of an impact to ruin anything. Spider-Man post OMD and Iron Man in Civil War were big events that were being looked at and dissected at the time. these were piddling side tangents nobody bothered to look at or remember.

It is true that people checked out but they still follow the YTers that talk geek news. The vast majority of people who followed the Netflix shows and characters know about this stuff.

This is pretty much me. I'd love to have stuff to watch, so these are the sources of recommendations for me.

They get a little too caught up in ragebait, though.

Honestly, I didn't even realize that the MCU adapted her until she was killed off in Secret Invasion.

I completely forgot about her after... the first Avengers? The actress would probably kill herself irl if it wasnt for that.

Also noone watched Secret Invasion either. Besides they made Skrulls dindus. You can't unfuck that. The title bears no weight anymore.
 
It's all just so much tawdry spectacle. What a lot modern superhero films, and modern superhero comic books for that matter get wrong is that they're often about multiverses on top of multiverses being threatened by OTHER multiverses and other such unwieldy nonsense, deluging the audience with increasingly boring, flat VFX and over the top "spectacle" that's been blandified and often hits too similar beats. There's no balance, no verisimilitude, where the extraordinary drops into or meets the ordinary, which makes the extraordinary even more so. It's like Richard Donner said about making the '78 Superman film - if the audience could believe in the simple things—the coziness of the Kent family farm, the romantic sparks between Superman and Lois Lane, the comedic quirks between Lex Luthor and his henchman Otis, they would buy any extraordinary comic book aspects and spectacle the film presented.

Nah, Muse is too butt-fuck-ugly for Paul Dano to play

Meanwhile, the latest Russo Brothers non-MCU film, a Netflix piece of garbage titled The Electric State is a bomb, and it had a budget in the hundreds of millions, and the trailer showcases everything wrong with modern films, including these "Netflix originals" that do nothing to justify their bloated budgets - cringey one-liners, awful-looking action, flat, cliched characters.

Nothing but confidence, even moreso than before, that Los Bros. Russo's' helming of Avengers 5 and 6 will result in movies where it probably would have been less expensive and painful to go ahead and set the greater part of a billion dollars in paper currency on fire and film it.
