celluloidbroomcloset:tqe1:“The Avengers” is a secret-agent thriller that almost bests James Bond. Jonathan Steed - an urbane, proper gentleman spy - and adventurous citizen Emma Peel repeatedly saved the world from diabolical schemes plotted by equally diabolical evil-doers (among them robots and man-eating monsters). Emma Peel, in her leather boots and mini-skirts, is now considered one of the most liberated women on 60’s television.It’s definitely superior to James Bond in that the lead male isn’t an amoral misogynist and the women are not bed-mates. -- source link
