@jcbart I hope he will, but from the interviews I've read, I'm also worried that he hasn't. Whether that was his choice or Marvel's, I'm not sure, but Johansson has stated that basically all she does in the film is fight. This worries me slightly, and makes me lean a tad towards the other arguments proposed in this thread. But we shall see :D.
@CaioTrubat@FadeToBlackBolt With Buffy, the only thing she was born with were the powers and the destiny. They did give her an advantage, but she worked at it most days; studying martial arts, how best to use her natural born skills etc. Additionally, as seen in Season 3, Buffy was skilled academically also: she received great SAT grades and went on to uni. Of course, she left, but just trying to prove that she was gifted in other fields. The overall combination of these threads lead to a great story of a teenage girl coming-of-age, from which feministic connotations also developed.
In the case of Willow, she did have to study her witchcraft: admittedly, she had a natural aptitude for magic and progressed far faster than others, but there is no denying that she put hard work into it.
@redleigh86 I understand your concern, but decided that an academic approach would allow for a more throrough analysis. Although, considering that I seemed to abandon this method towards the end, it didn't end as cohesively as I would've liked and perhaps the format of blog would've been more appropriate.
@Illuminatus Agreed, for me, the Emma/Kitty dichotomy is what usually made the series for me. I have their speech from "Giant-Size" on my wall :L.
