Dear Disney/Marvel/Whoever Is In Charge:
I'm writing this post in the futile hopes that someone- ANYONE from Disney or Marvel sees it. It is really depressing that there is no merchandise for the female characters. I don't understand why. Of course they want to go after the male audience, but what about the women? Yes we have a long line of Disney Princess and they're all great- I love them, but they aren't anything close to the Black Widow or the Scarlet Witch or even Princess Leia. Why can't there be Barbie dolls of the ladies? Why don't they get their own action figures. You want to go after the male demographic, but you could double your money by including the women. Little girls are just as persuasive, if not more persuasive, at getting their parents to buy them toys. Aside from the little kids, what about the grown women who would like some merchandise? A t-shirt, a collectable doll...whatever. Why don't we get any options. We have the Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Peggy Carter, Captain Marvel, Jane Foster (eventually), Maria Hill....and who else? There are a few others, but the pales in comparison to the list of male superheros.
Furthermore, why are Hawkeye and Quicksilver exiled from your merchandise along with the ladies? The biggest reason Hawkeye had such a large role in the latest Avengers is because of fan demand (unless that was another pretty lie from the studio). Think Quicksilver merch won't sell? Then I invite you to check your Twitter and Tumblr feeds. He is beloved. Hawkeye is beloved. Of course we love Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk- but we love other characters too. There are more than 4 Avengers. Why not include the others? It can't be because they lack superpowers i.e. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. The Black Widow is a badass to the extreme and Hawkeye is really talented. Why can't we include all of them? I want to buy their merchandise items more than the main 4.
It's just not fair and it honestly breaks my heart.
Sidenote: please bring Quicksilver back. He is a valuable asset to the team and we love him/Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Seriously. Don't toy with us like this.
Sincerely,
Basically Every Woman on the Planet.
