There are only a few gender displays that I can find in this poster. There are no depictions of feminine touch, subordination, or the family.
Licensed Withdrawal/Modern Shift
- Star Lord and Drax are shown on the poster to be looking directly at the viewer, while Gamora and the surrounding characters are shown with licensed withdrawal. There is no specific gender preference on the poster, but Gamora is placed towards the front where the other men look into the camera. She is specifically highlighted as a main character on the poster, but is looking away.
Function Ranking/Relative Size
- The clothing and size of each character on the poster doesn’t seem to discriminate based on gender. Gamora is at the front with the men, and she is shown holding a sword, which is arguable more violent and dangerous than the guns that Star Lord and Rocket are holding. The women on the poster are shown just as powerful and skilled of fighters on the poster, and it is arguable that Gamora could be shown to be even more skilled.
