The Avengers are a fascinating sociological study of different types of hegemonic masculinity (not just masculinities generally which are way more varied). And also how that manifests in (and restricts) the performance of "strong" in its female characters.

Depicting is the same as glorifying? I don't understand how was it glorified, I can't seem to be able to grasp that.

Fair! I'm sure it's hard for a lot of media to really reveal much new about masculinity issues but I do like to see how hollywood constructs masculinity and the more exaggerated it feels, the more honest it feels sort of? and superheroes are prime for exaggerating that stuff.
