You forgot Aunt May! ...oh poor aunt may what did they do to aunt may.
And Friday, I guess, although mostly what we learn from Friday is that Tony doesn't listen to AIs with women's voices or want them to talk back to him the way they can if they have male voices (or even no voice at all). And I guess Tony's mom got to have a flashback speaking part before she died? So we did have have quite a few named speaking female characters.
But are there actually people who think CACW was good for women?? Yeah, I think Sharon's being unfairly maligned, and Natasha was great as usual, and I still haven't seen Ultron, so I'm not sure I can judge Wanda, and there was nothing *egregiously* bad - I mean, nothing (except Aunt May) made me *actively* angry. But. As a whole, that was not a movie that was good for women. (And it just barely passes the 'two women speak to each other' test, and for an ensemble movie with three women in major roles that... says something.)
