Why is Gamora missing from Guardians of the Galaxy merchandise?
Exit polls indicate 44 percent of GotG’s opening-week audience were women, yet Disney/Marvel still seems unaware or unconvinced that it can profit from this half of their audience. At San Diego Comic-Con last month, women’s T-shirts for Marvel’s upcoming Agent Carter TV series sold out in a day, with the bemused attendants saying that they hadn’t expected this kind of interest. This is after years of fans clamoring for a female-led superhero movie from anyone.
Fans have been asking, well… where’s Gamora?
I had the same issue with How To Train Your Dragon merch. Astrid was barely around, but why the heck didn’t they do Hiccup’s mother in her cool badass outfit? That would have been rad!
