Honestly though the sexism isn't a huge deal to me, although it does exist. If it were a better movie, period, I'd probably care more about it, but as it is there are so many problems with the storytelling and the plot and the characters that the sexism just seems like kind of an awkward byproduct of those bigger problems? I don't know.
Really? I think she had much more of a part than Bruce Banner, making him more the love interest than her. When you think about it, it's actually kind of sexist to automatically view the female as the sex interest rather than the dude.
