Maya is wonderfull, an old time angel wich our society is destroying with feminism and nerd culture, with it obsession for "strong womans". This superheros Marvel bullshit. This constantly praise of every smartass with a quick pun and a cold face. So cool.
And Maya is not, she is not cool, she is warm, she is not a superhero, she is real. Like our own real young people she is insecure, about her family, her sexuality, her future. Like our young people she doesnt understand the world in wich she lives, and make stupid plans who doesnt work. Like our young people she came from a disfunctional family but that doesnt make her a badass hero who get everything he wants, that makes her shy and insecure. Like the real people she faces a world she can't control, anddoes the best she can, wich is little alone and a little more with friendship.
PD: We are killing Mayas and replacing her with Wendys
