#WeWantWidow: Marvel fans demand respect for female superheroes (and some cool merchandise)

What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask what you were doing on #WeWantWidow flash mob day? Were you part of the problem or part of the solution?

TheMarySue.com quite efficiently described the depth of the issue here on Earth-616 with this tweet regarding “Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron” toys.

Not only are there no good Black Widow toys or T-shirts out there; Marvel has a host of female superheroes who could easily carry their own films. Today’s response? A flash mob campaign organized under the #WeWantWidow hashtag.

Turnout, both online and in real life, was pretty remarkable.
