The Marvel Cinematic Universe has achieved nothing short of phenomenon status these last several years, exploding the popularity of a genre and pumping much-needed life (and dollars) back into the film industry.

She would compare herself to others, how her body looked different than models with long, tan legs and smooth skin, their stomachs flat and tight. When she went to the store she would see images of airbrushed women in precarious poses plastered across posters or in advertisements.
