Just realized that Captain America: Brave New World (2025) fails the Bechdel test, like, _hard_.

There are basically only two women in the entire movie, and they're not talking to each other, even though they're working at the same place. And one of them doesn't get introduced until half an hour into the movie.

Love that something that started out as a joke is probably the best known means of analysing gender: The Bechdel Test

To pass, a film has to feature at least two women – preferably named characters – talking to each other about something other than a man.

@kagan

do you require that the 2 named characters be women, or would "non-male"...

I think two characters that could be romantic rivals talking about a third character they could be vying for romantically would fit a modern sense of what the #BechdelTest tried to accomplish. On the other hand, the test was trying to point out how a gender (or group) was being disparaged for then considered trival focus on stereotypical matters. For my #writing, I'd categorize it as such.

I've read reviews and comments with variations on #WakandaForever being a love letter to Chadwick Boseman.

It's a tribute and homage to Chadwick, but it's a love letter to Black women, *especially* dark skinned Black women.

I think there's less than 10 minutes where a Black woman wasn't central to the scene, and present on screen.

It's also feels like a deeply respectful acknowledgment of the oppression and trauma we share with Indigenous peoples in this hemisphere.

Passes #BechdelTest, too
