Ah, I didn't think that the 'thank you and goodnight' comment would be taken to mean 'we have quality, I don't care about quantity', sorry. I mean more that yes, there are few women, but look at what what women we got and the improvements on past films. Be no means a full account but some examples:

early Spider Man films' MJ: love interest, has to be told who spider man is, kisses him without caring who he is the first time. Yeah, she has her own interests, but she's a rubbish actress, so that doesn't really work.
first two Batman films' Rachel: lawyer! But wait, love interest. Who two guys fight over. Who then dies.

VS (without spoilers)

Amazing Spider Man's Gwen Stacey: integral to saving the day, smart lady, intern, has her own life, and actually acts like a teenage girl
Catwoman: has own agenda, is not just a love interest (and then there's that other woman in the last film *cough*)
Avengers' Natasha: saves the guy, stops the machine, tricks the God of Lies, and all the other awesome
And our amazing Maria Hill

I guess what I'm saying is, we've had women. Before the ones I mentioned we had Elektra and Storm and Jean Grey and Sue Storm. We always call out for more women, but we don't get them. Women, we are told, do not a superhero action film make. Well, now we're getting female characters of quality and hopefully that will lead to more women, prove that women CAN be wonderful in these films. What I badly meant to say was more: all those people who said there weren't enough women in the Avengers? Did you see the women that we DID get? Our film has the bestest women so far! Yeah, the Avengers has issues, but i'm not hating 'cause we be provin'.

Something like that :)
