Definitely not, those are just typical “Mary Sue” characters. Unfortunately there aren’t that many action movies with more realistic female protagonists. The only good ones I can think of are
peppermint (2018)
The hunt (2020)
Ready or not (2019)
Tomb Raider (2018)
scorched earth (2018)
The female characters in these movies are all depicted in a more realistic manner. They are depicted as being tough but they take a lot of bumps along the way.
What we need is an action movie with a female protagonist that takes on a female villain and her henchwomen.
No, it ruins the story you're trying to portray. Creating a female character that defies normal life things put limits on the art. It shouldn't matter If they lose a fight, argument, or get rescued by a man or woman.
I get they don't want cliche narratives, but that's the wrong way to go about it. Just don't do cliche tropes, mix it up 💀💀 it's not that deep.
People want characters and characters have flaws. If your character starts off as perfect and able to do anything, how is the story suppose to progress?
I don’t think they are pushing agenda or that stuff. Companies goes “How do we market to audience? I know, they like strong female characters! Give them that stuff and pump it up to 100!” and they completely overdo it. Companies wants to milk franchise for their money and do what they think is appealing to audience while trying to make a buttload of money.
Companies don’t really have agendas. Individual may have political beliefs and stuff, but companies action make sense when you look at it from a profit lense.
That's not what happens, they don't even do market research, if they did they would know that the majority of people who watch action movies are men, and the feminists do the opposite of what men want which is show a strong female characters with no sexuality. They just like loosing money.
Of course not, not only is it unreasonable and defeats the point of equality. But its fitting into "standards" from the past that no longer fit the standard of women today.
What if I told you that this is there idea of equality, that a woman is better than a man in every way. Batwoman, the new star wars trilogy, and captain Marvel. All show that woman can do a more than male lead ever could when put in the same position. But all it does is make the story horrible because who wants to watch a show where the lead character has no flaws
That would be my fault for misreading the rules, sorry 😅. But reguardless, movies generally follow the main layout of Beginning Problem Solution End. Without any flaws there wouldn't be a story to tell therefore the movie would flop. Its a mix of opinion and statistics.
I heard someone say that the heroes journey is a man journey and if a woman is portrayed as weak and in need of change, it make women self conscious about there own inadequacy
Fuckin thank you. How tf can we be equal if 1 is untouchable, and beyond reproach?
Ripley or Sarah Connor never asked for shit they just WHERE.
I don't know how Hollywood can't see the unique strengths in genuine femininity instead of making women masculine and men feminine. Nobody ever asked for that and people hate it.
