And still, as Neil Curry reports, their roles are often overlooked.

Super heroine movies are few and far between.
超級女英雄電影並不多見。

And she's been around almost as long as Superman.

Wonder Woman is still unique,
神力女超人仍然獨特，

8
00:00:48.782 --> 00:00:56.748
because she is this female hero that isn't a sidekick, that saves the day, ultimately, and isn't saved herself.
因為她是個女性英雄，不是個跟班，最後能拯救世界，而不是別人來救她。

There were other women featured in comics. There were some female superheroes.

00:01:19.652 --> 00:01:26.776
But it wasn't until Wonder Woman that there was a really iconic character to capture people's imaginations.
不過，直到神力女超人出現，才有一個真正具代表性的角色，來吸引人們的注意。

They did not think that a woman could carry a show.
他們原本不認為一名女子扛得起一個節目。

16
00:01:51.709 --> 00:01:58.008
And, well, we proved them wrong, and made a lot of money for the network. A lot of money.
結果，我們證明他們錯了，而且還為電視台賺了許多錢，非常多錢。

17
00:01:58.820 --> 00:02:05.918
I don't think women literally need to hold up a bridge, but there's [there are] ways in our lives in which women are heroes all the time.

And we need to recognize that and maybe even broaden what it means to be a hero.
我們必須體認這一點，甚至可能也應該擴展英雄的意義。

19

For people who prefer to confine their heroics to the weekends, the comic convention, once a bastion of boyhood fantasies, is now taking on a new look.
對於偏好把自己的英勇行為侷限在週末的人而言，過去一度專屬於男孩幻想世界的漫畫展覽會，現在已經有了新樣貌。

When they originally started making characters, they were trying to appeal to the more male-dominated fanbase,
他們剛開始創作角色的時候，原本是想吸引比較以男性為主的漫畫迷。

21
00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:35.349
whereas it's expanded a lot since then and it hasn't quite caught up.
不過，後來漫畫迷的範圍已經大為擴展，但漫畫作品卻還沒跟上。

Well, I think people see a woman and think,
嗯，我認為一般人看到一個女人，就會心想，

23
00:02:37.146 --> 00:02:43.105
"Oh, she's gonna go feminist on me." or "Oh, she's gonna be all whiny and like preachy and things."
「哦，她要跟我談女性主義了。」或者「哦，她一定會抱怨個不停、嘮叨說教。」

24
00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:45.252
And I think that's quite a bad stereotype.
我認為這是很不好的刻板印象。

25
00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:47.764
No one seems to be able to get women quite right.
似乎沒有人能夠好好地呈現出女人的樣貌。

26
00:02:48.729 --> 00:02:53.331
They'll always either portray them as like completely evil or really ditzy.
他們創造出來的女人，不是徹底邪惡，就是實在迷糊得可以。
