Have you considered the possibility that characteristics you find positive in a male lead, you find unlikeable in a female lead? I for the female lead I’ve seen considered ‘bullies’ (or a number of similar terms), would be considered ‘commanding’ or ‘no nonsense’ if they where male?

The first John Wick was the perfect example of how to ride the edge of disbelief in a film. Everything was right on the edge of believable and it was an excellent film because of it. The sequels jumped off the cliff of believable and completely shattered any ability to pretend they were in reality. Sure they had a lot of eye candy and were entertaining, but they were objectively bad films due to the stories just not working, horrible writing, and requiring the invention of a new reality where the rules are different.

But even the action scenes SHE did was more believable than this modern horse shit

Mrs. Brisby had the power of love. While fighting can be exciting to watch, it's important for our heroes to have love for their families, friends, and their people. Today's strong women "heroes" have nothing but hate, disgust, and violence.

That was a wonderful movie and Mrs Brisby was an amazing character; humble and courageous.

Or Ms. Bianca from The Rescuers. She convinces first the RAS then bayou creatures to help rescue Penny...with the power of compassion.

One lesson we used to see is "A mother will do anything for her children. Even become a warrior." Now motherhood is seen as wrong, and that ruins these female leads.

Alita was a definite outlier in modern times. No wonder the agenda crowd hated that movie with a passion.

@@kreese-yi2nb I loved it because the character was very likeable, she developed during the story. She failed, learnt and improved, not just over powered and perfect.

Agreed

That is one of my fav new generation films for a female. She had the right balance indeed and didnt have to discredit or disrespect masculinity to show her strength

Yeah, this same premise works great when used in other circumstances than a woman character as well. The original Predator movie had the whole intro and first 15 minutes about showing us how bad ass these jacked Arnold led commandos were. Then the Predator showed up and wiped them out with relative ease. And Arnold never punched him to death with muscles, he had to use traps, and study the foe, and find a weakness, and even then it was a pyrrhic victory because his whole team died. It's engaging when the main characters have challenges that conventional strength is not enough to combat. People like to root for the under dog, and watching a character get clever is very satisfying.

@@Zaszz1 Very true.

Sure, she's drained, but I would argue that battling alien monsters should be portrayed as draining. If a movie portrayed that as easy for the protagonist, that would change the tone of the film and make it seem less tense. Ripley IS strong, she's just also human and relatable.

@@lds_drive That doesn't happen very often in real life though for two reasons A) Some young women either have the brains to know they'd not win, or the good personality to not think it's right to resort to hitting unless you are defending yourself and B) the double standard that often has male 'white knights' rushing in to aid any female in a fight with a man, even if she started it, and regardless of how much damage she's already done (lots of women use weapons )

I'll never forget the bit at the end of Zero Mission where we get to see a little picture Samus drew when she was a child. I always thought that was such a wonderful touch. When they say "a picture is worth a thousand words", they ain't kiddin'.

Women who say "women are strong, confident, and independent" are just desperately trying to cover up the fact that they're weak, cowardly and crave validation. Men who say it are probably r@p!sts.

And yet look what they often do to the actual men in these stories. Usually they basically castrate them. They become Charlie Brown (at best, if they are kindhearted) to all of the female character's Lucy's. I'd say most of the time they are now depicted as either gay or bisexual on top of that. The only type of 'masculinity' on display by male characters is usually the 'toxic' kind and even that is often taken to ridiculous levels (steal the little kids lollipop for the fun of it type of crap) . Nonetheless, even if a toxically masculine guy is the baddie (lots of baddies are more like *puke* Kylo Ren) not only will he be comically evil or clueless, but he'll also usually be easily defeated by the 'strong, empowered' woman. It's just a shitshow of bad writing, lazy characterization and lack of imagination all around.

@@remo27 agreed. Its so strange how they value XYZ traits and put them on women whilst removing them from men

It's a basic tenant of feminism. They think men have power simply by being men. So they act like the way they think men act to gain power.

This is how pathetic modern "strong women characters" are: Back in the freakin 1950s (20 years before Ripley or Leia ever appeared on screen), there was a cowgirl western action heroine: Dale Evans, wife of the HIGHLY popular cowboy Roy Rogers. She often assisted Roy in taking down criminals and in some cases literally shot guns out of villains' hands because her pistol aim was so accurate ("Nice shootin, Dale!" is what Roy would tell her, among other compliments). But here's what is incredible: Whenever she got around kids, that toughness would be completely switched off, and she'd go soft and sweet talk to them. Kids who watched the show absolutely loved her, many older fellows say they wished she was their aunt when they were boys. I've seen some of her scenes, she makes most "heroines" of today look like whining weaklings, overpowered, or dumb...and yet she was VERY feminine! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grqeq7OS3a-1hHU.html

Well, I hesitate to call most professional bouts “fights”. Mostly because there are rules. Takes about 15 pounds of force at a 45 degree angle to topple even the biggest man in a fight and I’m not talking about nut shots. Broken knees suuuuuck. Wailing on each other in a straightforward manner does give the advantage to the faster or stronger one. But a single over torqued joint lock can completely change the tide of a real fight.

Glock 19s have a really “sticky” slide tbh And the magazines are a bitch to load; very annoying

Reminds me of an episode of '24' from a few years ago. Some Chinese army guys have taken over CTU, and Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer bursts in, creating enough of a distraction for the good guys to spring into action and fight back. A female CTU agent tries to either put the lead bad guy in a head lock or neck crank, and he just flicks her off like a flea. Jack takes on the guy and after a few precision strikes, gets the job done.

I used to watch an old show called Charmed (the original one). Then I noticed something... the three women who's job was to fight evil, THEY NEVER TRAINED! But always wore makeup and hot outfits. Also, the bad guy demons knew where they lived, but did them the courtesy of only attacking when they were alert and ready, never when they were sleeping, or in large numbers to overpower them.

@@thodan467 They usually get called out on it.

There's also a level of power fantasy written into this stuff. I'm reading a series right now that is straight up author power fantasy where nothing bad happens to the MC, no one tells her no, and she immediately overpowers everyone. There's no such thing as consequences and when someone around her suffers, she believes she suffers the most. Authors living through characters so nothing bad is allowed to happen to them.

They're written to be hostile toward men and boys so they end up being very unlikable for men. Why wouldn't they? Women would never like or appreciate it if Hollywood was trying to push a man who was outright hostile toward women on them as a hero or savior.

This is what...well, it didn't kill Agent Carter for me, but it made me feel relieved when it got cancelled. And I loved the character. In the movies, she was a crack shot and didn't dare going toe to toe with regular soldiers. In the TV show, they weren't allowed to show her using a gun for the sake of good too much, so she had to start beating up men and other Black Widow types, despite not being large in muscle or having spent her whole life getting conditioned to be a living weapon. Every fight I was like "do they just lose interest in stopping her?" when they went down. And the only times she really struggled in a fight was when the guy she was with also couldn't beat up the villain, even when it was both of them fighting 2 on 1. After a while, I just wanted the writers to come up with other ways to resolve conflict.

Taskmaster? In the scene of the reveal, you can see Taskmaster's body, and notably shoulders blatantly shrinking from a shot to the next. They made no efforts whatsoever to hide this was a man under the suit and then complained about the audience not buying the reveal.

Indeed, I do agree.

No. That's called being 'selfless' or 'self-sacrificing'. Heroes often have that as a subtrait , but you forgot that a hero must face danger. After pregnancy is over (and that's rarely fatal in modern industrial countries) most mothers don't have to deal with actual danger. Keeping the kids safe for most mothers is much much more about monitoring them and making sure they don't put themselves in harms way rather than fighting off hungry bears or something like that. None of this is to deny that mothers CAN be heroic it's just not a necessary part of the job description, at least not in civilized areas. Most mothers WILL put their lives on the line for their children (at least we can say GOOD mothers pretty much have to be willing to), but thankfully, they don't often have to. And this partly due to heros and heroic mothers in the past that made things today much safer and better for everyone.

"Definition of Mother: A woman who puts her own personal desires aside for the good of her child. Similarity?" ...fathers don't do that as well?

It would also set up a payoff of the new agent learning humility and being mentored, shining later thanks to swallowing their pride. But, you know, that's character development so they won't do that.

@@Macheako me for a while. I got covid positive a month ago, spent more than two weeks in the hospital and now I am at home on oxygen. I am looking through the Amazon prime videos and Netflix (not my account) and there is just crap. Nothing to watch. I think yesterday they added Young Frankenstein so I am watching that; besides that I have only my books.

@@clownphabetstrongwoman7305 nah dude, you got "time", sure, but..... please don't spend your time JUST watching crap 😂😂😂 God gives us a whole day a week.....you can watch all that crap on sundays lol

Being an ex MMA fighter who probably can beat most men up doesn't hurt her case

In Haywire her fight scene with Ewan McGregor, he punched her full in the face and she responded with "Is your hand alright" she didn't even flinch. Ewan commented it did hurt and he was now scared as he realised she was that tough.

​@@clintmatthews3500 Her fights in Haywire were almost perfect - she almost lost the cafe one without bystander help and the hotel room one just had one small flaw with her overcoming a back of the head surprise punch from a pro - the rest of the fight was easily believable. She's also not actually that big, just most people in Hollywood are really slim and quite short on average so she seems much larger.

Makes me think that she (or other fighters like Amanda Nunes or the aptly named Cris Cyborg) should have gotten the role of the half human android instead of the skinny androgynous chick.

@@kopilit Yes this! She's only 5'8" which is hardly imposing.

Harley was awesome

the final trailer looks like there's a chance they edited into something could work. but it's probably a trick

It's Nomi's film. They're just hiding it in the new preview after the disastrous test screenings and online backlash. But, she is 007 in this film. That's why Bond is referred to as "James Bond, license to kill" and not 007. This is the passing of the mantle...to a scrawny, awkward, uncoordinated woman.

@@stanley-fghijk441 And that will be my jumping off point. I’ve got 25 mostly fantastic other Bonds to enjoy for the rest of my days 😎

@@Chronocrits Same. First Bond film in my life I'll be skipping.

I haven't watched since pierce was bond.

Now what did this remind me of? *looks at the recent Charlie's Angels movie* Oh

I remember before the dark times, before the woke empire....

There still aren’t, I REALLY think you guys just make this s**t up.

@@willhiggins9563 You're just wilfully ignorant.

I protest on behalf of: A) Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson 2) The Rock starring Sean Connery Craig is...something less

Casino Royale was rly good imo but after that... yeah

@@grandkhan9261 i like CR and i think it’s a good film but it doesn’t feel like a Bond film to me.

@@allthingsclassicrock Yeah, I get what you mean. I still think it's the last one to retain a bit of that bond feel tho, at least compared to the following movies

What movies have you been watching that feature 130kg martial artists?

"Regardless of their sex." Yep, karate kid comes to mind.

“And it’s not good that girls get over confident in real life” uhh what lol you loser. What a self own, crying because women don’t want to talk to you with your immature opinions. Leave this channel would be a good start so maybe you stop saying and think dumb and stuff like that. Lmfao do you ever talk to women in real life? You must not. So sad

@@jeremyg7261 well Jeremy thank you for your well informed and mature response I am sure you yourself are a real winner with the ladies and they value your opinions highly

​@@jeremyg7261 Not "confident". "Overconfident". And overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Especially after we see Wick take on a house full of men in the first movie. Not to mention the club scene. If he lost at all to her it would have broken everything.

And then the Halle Berry scene happens on John Wick 3...

I think that people, when they see these movies, for some reason, think that its for them, when its not. It took me the entire Infinity Saga to realize that Marvel wasn't for me. 20 movies and hundreds of dollars later and all I liked about them was Winter Soldier and Iron Man 1. I'd actually question, but not complain about, the holographic displays that Tony made, and think about practicality, realism, energy efficiency and all sorts of things. But then I remembered that while watching Star Trek as a young boy, none of those instruments existed (at the time), but it inspired me to think about them and actually take engineering classes. So I gave many of the technologies in the MCU a pass, but still wasn't impressed with the franchise. In the same way, even if you think that these females don't exist in real life, the movie's intention is probably to inspire or empower the female audience. and that's fine. I actually know females in real life, in martial arts, that would probably lose in a fist fight to me, but can fold me up like a pretzel if they got close enough. A few of them talk shit too. So when I see a female, who isn't just trained in martial arts, but is a skilled assassin as well, and likes to talk shit, I'm not at all in disbelief that a female like that exists. I still don't give a fuck about the Bond franchise, I like Bourne a lot more, but badass females that talk shit wouldn't break my suspension of disbelief.

@@VonJay talking shit is one thing, completely believable. But then : - Don't expect the audience to root for the caracter : insulting the protagonist is with killing a puppy the best way to set up a dislikable antagonist - Those men they are fighting are not random dudes in a pub, they usually are massive trained hitmen and/or bodyguards. No matter the martial arts those women did or not, so did their opponents, and then it is back down to brute strength. Here are my two cents : if you want a women to be badass in those movies, don't rely on physical strength from the caracter, get them to outsmart or outlast their opponents. Determination and intelligence are not sex-based. And women actually have a higher pain tolerence than men in average. Play on those, not on the one thing which everyone knows will always turn to the man's advantage.

@@Cancoillotteman I mean, I'm not turned off or sensitive to characters, whether female or male, talking shit to the protagonist. I see it plenty of times in films, characters talking shit to one another. I see male characters doing it to each other all the time. Whether the audience roots for them or not, the character and their disposition serves a particular function within the script. A function that you're free to define as a subjective viewer. Yet you're interpretation of it only tells us who you are yourself. For instance, my view is that of a consumer of cinema and also a writer of stories. The following is my perspective: Many writers use tension or conflict between characters to hide exposition. That way "info dumps" don't feel like info dumps when characters are arguing with one another. David Fincher and even Spielberg use "Fractal Act" structures. Making every scene a smaller version of an entire act. Where there's a protagonist and an antagonist who isn't necessarily the villain, an inciting incident, Journey/desire, crisis, climax and resolution. The function of the antagonist simply impedes the main character's ability to capture what they desire. What's interesting to is that certain audiences may automatically identify with the black female character that's "talking down" to Bond. And in their eyes, she's a vehicle for empowerment, is for a moment the protagonist and Bond is impeding on her desires. In Jurassic Park, Grant and his girlfriend, the "protagonists" are digging up dinosaur bones, and walk toward their trailer, when the "inciting incident" occurs, a helicopter blows sand on their dig covering up dinosaur bones. They enter the trailer, and Hammond, the scene's "antagonist," "rudely" pops a bottle of champagne that the lovely couple was saving for a special occasion. Hammond's "desire" is to persuade them to see his new park, and their desire is to continue working on the dig. The crisis is that Grant will be used to give Hammond's investors a good review of a technologically advanced yet savagely dangerous park. The climax is when Hammond offers to pay for several future projects. And the resolution is when he and his girlfriend agree to join Hammond at Jurassic Park. In conclusion, I don't view character conflicts the same way that you do. I see a lot of rude an inappropriate behaviors between male characters, yet I am not angry with the way that they are talking. But for some reason, when a woman does it, it becomes a problem. We're all fine with a man or a woman shooting at and trying to kill the protagonist, but we're not fine with how she speaks to him.

I love those special little human moments for them. Like when Ripley was going down the hell in the elevator and she took the time to enjoy the hot air blowing in her face.

Janeway sucks, she killed tuvix

@Sam Sparklebot Ripley got her leg pulled and got a cut above her eye. But Sarah was shot and stabbed by the T-1000. That's something. Even Milla Jovovich took more lumps in the lame Resident Evil series, making her more compelling.... And then, they made a million of her, a million Mary Sues basically. But back to Ripley in Aliens. She may not have gotten a serious injury but Cameron totally put her in danger. Made her weak and terrified

Uhmmm, one flaw of Janeway was that she thought she was always right (and IMO never got any backlash for it) She constantly sidelined her 2nd in command to dictate what she wanted and her hypocrisy to bypass the prime directive whenever it wasn't in her favor, was also aggravating to see happen every time

@@Nightdare Interesting point

My favourite part was when she cut her hair off and transformed herself into a they/them.

Ahhh, i see where you made the mistake........ you were watching netflix

@@JennySparkz It's ok. Love Death and Robots? Black Summer? Etc...

haha i saw the ad, first they showed Woody, and i was like Hmm interesting, then they showed Kate (whoever she is), and it went down so fast...I flagged it as shit and moved on.

Lets be real though, the teenage girl was incredibly realistic. She was obnoxious, annoying, and stupid. (in a good way) She was the most real teenage girl ever.

I don't think 20 girl can beat the Rock, he will bulldoze through them like they weren't even there.

it's called certain martial arts, even in real life is possible. And in fiction, even if it wasn't why is this a complaint? wokeness is a complaint. it's not wokeness to have a tiny woman throw a huge man. it's wokeness if she's also a perfect mary sue in every other way vs inept incompetent men.

@@zeehero7280 I'm actually a fan of female action stars, but this looked stupid. That move was power and speed and only works, of your apponents are stupid and half your weight. Even in martial arts, size and mass, plays a part, ask Bruce Lee. No 90 pound woman can kick over, a dude thats 250, much less two guys totalling 300 plus, not going to happen. If the female has superpowers sure, but no way that scene happens that way. It's about being believable. Cynthia Rodrick, I could list a bunch of female martial artists that do choreography and they will tell you, that scene is laughable. These films don't work, Kill Bill works because of the sword.

@@zeehero7280 Yeah of course and that’s why we have weight classes in all martial arts contests because it doesn’t actually matter.

@@zeehero7280 martial arts can help even the playing field but when the size and power difference that big, it doesnt make enough of a difference. Plus, if the man also has training it becomes impossible for a tiny 100Ib woman, martial arts training or not, to take on a 250Ib man, let alone a man with training too.

Just curious: what led you to believe that you might enjoy it?

You put that so exactly...

I gave up on the bond films after Quantum of Solace Casino royale was the point the bond series was going down hill

Bond films as enjoyable to watch? That ship has sailed a long time ago.

Why quote physics, for fictional films? why is that a problem? if anything the problem is doing it all in high heels and a tiny revealing dress. we should focus on the actual issues of wokeness and not cry foul on moviemakers just trying to make things look cool.

@@zeehero7280 i see your perspective. What i was getting at is Hollywood has always had an issue with suspension of disbelief, to a laughable degree. I.e. nothing new by any means. And for the love of god will Hollywood figure out how guns work, that one alone has to be the most repeated sin in Hollywood is miss portrayal of fire arm physics. (Maybe cars exploding for no reason, hard to tell.) Women being super able to do shit they can't possibly hope to do in real life at those sizes is probably number 3 lol... Corny ass Hollywood b.s. am i right?

@@zeehero7280 looking cool only works when you actually look cool. Trying that hard to look cool and failing is basically the ultimate cringe...

@@zeehero7280 Because a film can't use the fact that "it's fiction" to excuse every aspect of it being ridiculous. There's a difference between the premise of a movie being fiction (Giant killer robots vs. Giant alien monsters) and aspects of a movie not being logically possible or reasonable (If a character starts appearing in two places at once without having been able too and is not part of their abilities, if the antagonists suddenly decides not to kill the protagonist and stands around waiting while the protaganist is in a conversation)

There are two ways of making the high-heels fight scenes work. 1. Just make it cute, funny, and fun, with actresses that are well liked. (see 2000s Charlies Angels) 2. Hire women that were ballet dancers as their primary pursuit for at least 10 years, train them in martial arts for 1-2 years, and then the quality of their athletic artistry will make it work. (See Moon Lee, from the late 80s and early 90s in Hong Kong) Edit: This- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZeaarSW3terdYk.html

Yes. I love the fight scenes in that.

Lucky

it could be bait and switch, they want people to go opening weekend. I hope they did a bunch of editing or some re-shoots and made it good.

@@rifz42 They can want whatever they like. We all know we’ve seen every key scene in the trailers. Where’s the feeling of peril on the narrow bridge when everyone in the world knows he’s going to grab the cable and jump?

@@rifz42 It will be the first James Bond movie in 30 years that I will not watch at the opening. To be honest, after Skyfall (that M is a brilliant strong female character, by the way... of course, it doesn't hurt that Dame Judy Dench played the part) I lost interest in the franchise. Skyfall is the perfect James Bond movie. Anything that comes after diminish the character.

I was already on the fence because of the rumors about the woke crap, seeing the actual scenes now...i will NOT be seeing this movie...with exception to one or two of Craig's films...most of his Bond films were not very good. Skyfall, Casino Royale were the best ones, Quantum of Solace was okay, and Spectre was disappointing. So it's not as if I had much hope for it anyways. Not a big loss for me, other then the beloved character of Bond himself being lost to this Woke trash being shoved down our throats so as they can cater to 10℅ of the population.

@@antoniojcarrascoalvarez2526 To find a perfect James Bond movie we have to go back before Daniel Craig. This guy was never James Bond, he kilked the franchise.

And I loved Kaylee in 'Shindig' with her circle of older men that respected her technical expertise.

I love that movie.. but River? Her acting was great.. but her fight scenes were total face palm moments. Especially when she was trying to take on an entire bar worth of male fighters. You could easily tell that she had Zero power in any of her simulated strikes. She could barely perform the moves accurately at all... and even IF she was able to... the moves chosen would never have worked with her small, weak, female body. I was able to overlook this, because the rest of the film was so good.. but again, you are looking at the Mary Sue character.. with the excuse of "We fed martial arts moves into her brain.. so its all good dog!" >_< As a martial artist of 28 yrs... such a concept would NEVER work in real life.

@@johndough8115 But you have to understand that Summer Glau is actually a trained ballet dancer. That's great for being graceful but doesn't translate into being a powerful fighter unless being specifically trained in hand to hand combat. I wouldn't really call her a Mary Sue based on the fact that she's pretty much insane at least until the end of Serenity. Once the Miranda situation was dealt with she kinda got it together.

@@Powermad-bu4em You didnt really say anything that disagrees with what I posted. As Ive said... her fight sequences looked awful. She should have gone though a 6 month or so training camp, to get decent at martial arts movements. But even then, the fighting chorography was still poorly developed, for a small females realistic level of potentials. Being a Mary Sue, means having highly unrealistic level of capability, without really having to earn them. Like how she was able to pilot the ship perfectly, merely by watching the captain, and never having any actual hands-on experience. Being a bit mental, at least gave her a bit of a flawed nature.. but overall, the presented picture, is a female that has unrealistic levels of capabilities. As Ive said, I love the film, and I loved her acting / portrayal. It was just the poor quality of her fights, that really grated on my ability to enjoy the film even more. There were some other things I didnt care for. I believe one of the dudes names, was a girl name, for example. There was no good reason for it.

@@johndough8115 I don't disagree with you about the choreography one bit. I just don't put her at the level of Rey Mary Sue level based on the fact she was a science experiment that got away. Is she Mary Sue-ish? Maybe a little, but she is at least charming and vulnerable. She relies heavily on her brother to keep her shit together. I dig when she goes after the Reavers after he's been injured and they're cornered. Great stuff right there. She definitely should have gone through a 6 month martial arts camp and then used her dancing ability to compliment that training. Total agreement. Still love that series and movie. Absolutely one of my favorites of all time.

I think that Ripley and Sarah Connor were well written characters and were both handled by exceptional filmmakers, Ridley Scott and James Cameron. We're in a stage of Hollywood, hopefully its just a long phase lol, where audiences aren't demanding for cinematic techniques, or persuasive writing to be pushed forward and improve (or aim to be) upon with every new film. Marvel is a good example of this just with CGI alone. But on the other hand, I've watched all of Daniel Craig's and Pierce's Bond films, and the things that he's required to do, as well as how his backstory if any complements present day striking character driven views of Bond, aren't persuasive and or realistic at all, imo. I don't like any of the Bond films overall, but I like the genre and the amount of style required in every frame. But Bond has never been convincing as a male assassin, the types of ordeals that he survives, the villains, the fights that he engages in, everything, besides the realistic gadgetry and the blueness of exotic beaches is absolutely unbelievable. But a female character beating up a man is supposed to be?

Well, maybe, but I'll posit that average men are closer to James Bond than average women are to average men, because I'm sure when someone's breaking into your house to rob and possibly kill you, you want those "average" police officers coming to rescue you to be men. The averages of men and the averages of women are vastly different. So different in fact, that women have lower fitness requirements for everything from military, law enforcement, and firefighting, to name a few occupations. And I would know. When I was at Fort Bragg for AIT, every morning for PT we'd go on a three-mile or so run. Those 82nd Airborne badasses would always be leading the way, about a hundred feet ahead of us (those guys were fast!). My Civil Affairs unit, which was composed of regular Joes like myself, was broken into three groups: the fastest runners (of which I was a part), the runners behind us, and then the slowest runners behind them. All of the women were in the middle or last group, and my group, for comparison, was farther ahead of our middle group than the 82nd Airborne unit was ahead of us. Well, there was one exceptional gal, whose last name escapes me-her first name was Christina-who was in the lead group with me. God, did I have the biggest crush on her back then. She was my Ellen Ripley, lol. I think I'm going to go watch Aliens, now. You enjoy the rest of your day, champ.

@@ruthlessdraculigula1051 My argument is that none of what james bond does and survives is believable at all. The amount of people he's supposed to fight and the way that he survives buildings crumbling under him immediately leads me to believe that I'm not supposed to take it seriously. So when a woman does something like that in a bond film, I'm not surprised at all. If it were a Bourne film, where the main character has "Lateral Thinking" skills, which permeates the way he speaks, assesses conflicts, a woman injected into that type of film that does what the Bond girls do, would force me to break my suspension. If a female outsourced her physical weaknesses, and or finessed people enough to bring their guard down, and then hit pressure points or was resourceful with items laying around, then I'd say that that's believable. But in Bond films, the female characters are as equally ridiculous as the main character, villain, plot and stunts are.

Indeed. I have the original DVD, and I've never seen it before now. Guess I'll find a torrent.

I'm glad you said that because I saw T2 multiple times when it came out and I didn't remember the Kyle Reese scene AT ALL. I thought I was losing my memory there.

T-1000 Edition on VHS had all these extra scenes and it made the film so much better!

@@greebo7857 get the 2017 Blu-Ray release, the 2015 has it, but it's in a hidden menu

I have TheTerminator 2 Judgement Day Special Edition Director's Cut I also have The Direcetor's Cuts of The first two Alien movies

😂😂😂😂😂

@Gabriella Maroney I totally understand your point. I don't ever mean that I think women are weak. It's just that certain scenarios are not favorible. Although I have physical strength, I've been around and worked wiith some of the most strongest women I have ever met in my life and I admire them so much. Political figures are trying to divide us when what we should be doing is using our strength together as couples to be stronger and resist the efforts to pit us against each other. Then we can start to change this corrupt world.

I dunno, having 90-110 pounds of person drive the point of a heel into your chest at high velocity would hurt like a bitch. That example in the bond movie he gave was odd, he focused on the dress she was wearing as if he had never heard of subterfuge. As if wearing it and make up somehow immediately made her a non threat... Sure some of the moves they do is merely for visual effects and general badassery but I’m not sure why people think that having your head rammed into a girl’s rising knee would hurt any less than a guy’s.

Seriously man, everyone knows it’s fake. Action movies are meant to be power FANTASIES. You think men can do most of the s**t either? You think those few bits of testosterone and slightly denser bones makes you a super hero compared to the average woman?

When the Scottish Parliament here put through a law making it easier for people to change their gender on official documentation (TLDR version), Feminists are screaming that they need protection from all the sex pests who will change their gender to identify as female so they can get into toilets etc. Turn out modern feminists really really *really* hate transgender people it seems.

She doesnt fight them with physical strength though... she is just smaller and faster and has a gun...

The Winter soldier was a thing of beauty. That fight between Bucky and Cap was the stuff of legends. As for "Batroc the Leaper" pure brilliance.

@@bibaolaitan5189 - You are joking right? How would you define physical strength then?

@@JennySparkz - I agree it was brilliantly choreographed

This is a pretty bad example. Which non-mook has she beaten with no effort? She can beat no named mooks via superior training, gadgets, and shooting them. Not to mention she tends to ambush people. And you compare beating mook fodder with Cap fighting Batroc, a named comic book villain. Um yeah, that's going to be shown as more on par, when in actuality the idea that a normal guy can fight Cap as he's portrayed in the MCU for more than 2 seconds is laughable. Hell she get's her ass handed to her by Rumlow in Age of Ultron. They actually do a good job of showing her limitations. Can't comment on her latest movie (I hear they do a much poorer job) but there are plenty of examples of her being overpowered/bested. Just not by MOOKS, and even in those fights its a lot of catching them off guard and using centrifugal force and her whole body weight for takedowns.
