Generally, I don't resonate with identity in media - race/sex doesn't matter as long as it's a good story. But I did feel this for the first time watching Wonder Woman. The movie wasn't even all that great but I felt weird secondhand pride cause the protagonist was female.

I completely did not expect that the movie would make me feel the part of my character that's 'woman' shaped so strongly, and also made me feel for the first time the lack of that shape in that particular main role in other scifi/fantasy media.

Hrmmm... Really? What about Underworld? Hunger Games? G. I. Jane? Alien, Aliens, Alien 3? Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? Kill Bill? Resident Evil? Fifth Element? Edge of Tomorrow? T2: Judgement Day? Lucy? Wanted? Gone in 60 Seconds? Tomb Raider? Planet Terror?

As I said in another tweet, it might be the superhero genre specifically, which has had very few women-led ones. I definitely agree there's lots of female action heroes overall.
