To be honest, this is how I see it as a whole (meaning the so-called agenda). I can't say for the tv commercials where any of you live, but in my region I'd say the majority of them depict the American Male being shown to be the buffoon, the butt of the joke, by his wife and/or kids and/or pets (yep- even the pets outrank).
You know how you can end every Fortune Cookie fortune with, "In Bed"? You can finish most American commercials with, "You Stupid Man."
Once at the bottom, it can be broken down even further into a sub-pecking order, but that's a different "equality = our turn" discussion best left un-discussed.

I see this only as a Star's ego. How many times does Spidey (the only MCU hero with anything resembling a "secret Identity" ) remove his mask in a fight? How often did he do that in the comics prior to the films?
I think that's the reason Hulk looked more Ruffalo-like; He was always Hulk, so they had to find a way to get his face in there.
Hayden Christensen should have dawned the Vader mask half-way through Star Wars: ROTS (apt), but NNnooooooooooooooooo!

It didn't feel so condescending to me, as you describe it. I don't think they were saying anything like, "We are empowering you."

The scene was - and I said this before - a bit on the nose. But really, it's just a kick-ass scene, showing just how large and diverse and vital are the contributions of all the powerful women in this battle. And it's not gratuitous, not superficial. Their individual contributions have been shown in many previous movies. This brief highlight - this statement, if you will - had been set in motion throughout most of the previous MCU movies.

This scene is just a reminder, an exclamation point, on equality.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty damn cool.

	Now I want apples and oranges lol "What about when Peter Quill murdered a bunch of dudes mid-mission, just to get his Walkman back? Oh, right, I forgot that Walkmans are imbued with the power of nostalgia and thus far more valuable than the life or safety of a woman." Ummm… Were the death certificates in the dvd Extra Features? Besides, the Walkman was given to him by the most important woman in his life. And did I miss which woman's life or safety was endangered by this? I hope it isn't Gamora. Wasn't she "The Most Dangerous Woman In The Galaxy"? Suddenly she's a damsel in distress? Didn't he sacrifice himself when she was in IMMEDIATE peril from exposure to space? Villainous! Also, Strange refused to do surgery on a man. Dck move. If it were a woman, bigger dck move.
