  1. I'm enjoying the DC Superhero Girls reboot, but it does have a lot of issues that keep me from loving it.

      I agree with you on the portrayal of men in the show. I admire much of Faust's work for its ability to successfully synthesize seemingly tired animation tropes into a sharper and more satisfying package, but her depictions of male characters tend to lean into obvious feminism-mongering on a recurring basis (despite the presence of exceptions). It's generally less conspicuous within the confines of FiM, where male characters were initially relatively sparse and/or non-prominent (a vision I assume Hasbro was content to encourage during her tenure), with the obvious exception of Snips and Snails (in one of S1's worst outings), but the general structure and focus of the DC universe (which, by nature of containing a number of extremely iconic and prominent male characters, is far more gender-balanced) forced her to confront arguably her greatest weakness, and the above issue is basically the end result.

      Keep in mind, I'm someone who generally agrees with her views, but I think it would strengthen the show's message to have both sexes working together on equal footing.

      I think the show needs to have at least one male hero who's competent and capable and supportive of the girls.
