En este ensayo se abordan dos películas con superheroínas como protagonistas, un género relativamente reciente en el cine que ha demostrado tener una gran acogida entre los aficionados, que además tiene una novedosa y emocionante forma de contar historias de acción. La primera película es producida por DC Comics y Warner studios, Mujer Maravilla (Jenkins, 2017). La legendaria amazona, heredera de los dioses olímpicos y una de los líderes de la liga de la justicia, una heroína prototipo de las éticas femeninas del cuidado. La otra película es de Marvel comics, Capitana Marvel (Bodoen y Fleck, 2019), una increíble piloto que por un acto de azar obtiene superpoderes de orígenes alienígenas y termina convirtiéndose en la más fuerte de Los Vengadores, y un elemento clave de la nueva superproducción de esta editorial, una representante de las éticas feministas liberales. Las dos superheroinas tiene distintos orígenes y además características que pueden asociarse a distintas corrientes de éticas feministas. La Mujer Maravilla basa su desarrollo moral en la equidad, defiende ciertas características de la mujer y su devoción al cuidado, y por otro lado, la Capitana Marvel es una líder competitiva quien tiene un desarrollo en búsqueda de la igualdad de género ante la adversidad y los conflictos de poder. Este ensayo pretende evidenciar las diferencias de estos personajes y sus asociaciones morales divergentes, y cómo esto determina una particular representación de mujer ideal que parece tener cada editorial de comic.
