You know what traditionally-male fictional character type I have a burning need to see remade as a woman?
Gandalf types.
Old, grizzled, Odinic wanderers. The one who speaks prophecy to kings, gives swords to heroes, wanders into the depths of the Evil Empire to tweak the Overlord’s nose decades before the Heroic Farmbrat Of Destiny was a twinkle in a milkmaid’s eye. Old and tired and weary, full of cynical-but-compassionate advice and gnomic wisdom and I’m-Too-Old-To-Care-About-Propriety humor. Delver into forbidden mysteries, keeper of ancient knowledge, Bearer-Of-So-Fucking-Many-Names.
Gimme a grizzled old pipe-smoking, sword-swinging granny wandering the Many Kingdoms poking and prodding heroes into action, playing princes and queens like pawns in their centuries-old chess match with Evil.
Give me Helen Mirram’s Gandalf and Megan Gale’s Allanon, dammnit.

Given they were able to keep Queen Angella looking like she just came from a Jazzercise class, I kinda am sad on reflection they didn’t keep Castaspella looking like she she just walked of the set of an ambitious music video.
I still love the new Castaspella , but my love of camp is just as strong.
Because you think that would have been notice in the military examinations, the abnormalities I mean.
This combined with Pidge, apparrently WOG a cis girl, managing to pose as the opposite gender (for no real apparent reason as its a mixed-gender school. What a dumb sub-subplot) makes the Garrison look like idiots.
(If you’re going to make full on alien hybrids you should go full camp and make it weird biology. I don’t blame the cat-Keith au fanart because of that.)
At first I wanted to kill him. But now I’m glad I’ve spent the time to get to know him. Yeah, of course he looks delicious with his big red cheeks. But we’ve all got an agreement that we’re not going to eat Stu. Right? Right.
“…one of Pascal’s favorites, Gwen Stacy, will lead the way. The producer revealed that Sony’s upcoming Into the Spider-Verse sequel… will be focused on Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy—and will explore a romance between the two, a thread from Lord’s original script that ultimately didn’t fit in Into the Spider-Verse.”
Speaking as someone who haven’t yet seen the movie and has to base his opinion on the source material and how it has handled this “romance”:

I blame Bendis. If he didn’t waste time on plot lines that went to shit with Miles and actually took the effort and developing Miles supporting cast sooner, this shit wouldn’t be happening. The thing is that Sony really can’t use Gwen because most of her supporting cast including main villain belong to Marvel. So they are latching her on to Miles.
Let’s just hope that Barbara leaves enough of a impression in Miles book to stop this shit from being canon and Gwen can stop being a miserable sop and date someone or confirm that she is ace or something.
