Default Re: The History of Long Beatdowns in Fiction

I misspoke in my first post: after citing a 1938 cartoon that showed a long beatdown, I said something about finding the first one in cartoons. I might have meant TV-made cartoons, which would be why I said FLINTSTONES. Or else I was trying to think of the first one with a sexy female character-- which I did find in 1940, also from Terrytoons:

I've seen a handful of Sheena programs, which may be all that's been preserved, and yeah, they don't offer much to fans of f/m or f/f.

Cathy Gale started making irregular appearances in THE AVENGERS in the 1962-63 season, and there are some good long beatdowns during her two years, though the producers played it up much more with Emma Peel. As it happens, 1962 is also the year for what I think is Mexico's first "lucahadoras" fiction-film, called DOCTOR OF DOOM in America. Definitely much more f/m action in that film and some of its sequels.
