Mr. Galindo is actually a pretentious psudointellectual who tends to generalize a group based on one person.

But I’m not here to attack Mr. Galindo’s character.

I knew a young woman who loves comic book movies, (except for Hellboy 2 and The Dark Knight.) but she also enjoys films like City of Angels. (not Crow city of Angels.)

And then there’s my mother, who loves movies like “Message in a Bottle” and “the Notebook,” but also loved ‘Spider Man 1 and 2″, “Superman the movie”, and “Iron Man.” Her exposure to comic books, reading her brother’s collection of Marvel comics when they were kids.

I think what Mr. Galindo is guilty of is supporting a stereotype of women who find action and comic based movies to be pointless, and who only appreciate movies about women, like the ones in “Sex in the City.”

Like you said, his wife does not speak for all women.
