I'll just say it because, I'm annoyed. It's difficult to write a script for a women in a man's role. Find any and every film where women take on a heroic role and 9/10 it's a failure in the western world especially with increased numbers.
Where women do succeed in groups, its as villains. The irony is that's women in real life.
Shit sounds sexiest, I don't give a shit.
Best on screen female hero, Sarah fucking Connor and Ellen goddamn Ripley. Connor never acted like she was a 250lbs man taking on endless guard's like he's Commando. She used her wit, resourcefulness and vulnerabilities to her advantage. Don't believe me, watch Terminator 1 & 2.
Alien's, Ripley has no weapon's but she's a scientist, she's smart. A child is in danger, she has pure motherly motivation of protection, of something not greater than herself. Takes on a whole damn sentiment monster in the dead of fucking space and that shit was more believable than this horse shit of a movie.
Bonus Officer Anne Lewis
A cop and a damn good one. She wasn't a freakish athlete or some super spy. She was a regular chick who happens to be a police officer. Why her role works so well? It's the concept of beauty and the beast. Women are never really that interesting unless they're attempting to tame something. It's the same in real life. No women wants the proto typical good guy because, he's already tamed his own inner self and for the hers of the world that's disinteresting. Any push back from that is minority based. The majority of women enjoy having a monster over a man. It's why stories as old as Frankenstein work.
Guess what, not one of those chicks I named were damsels in distress and 2 of the 3 are considered all time bad asses.
This campy, try too hard, forced everything, verbal vomit shit couldn't be saved 🤮🤮🤮 and I'm not against women because, the cartoon did a better job on the women. I used to watch Sailor fucking Moon in the morning after Gi Joe and Transformers. I'd watch a marathon of Sailor Moon over this horse shit and films like.
You know who consistently does female heroic roles well, the Chinese and South Koreans. Xena was one of the very few successful female franchises that made the woman the main protagonist. Then think about how her core group was cast then developed. Jackie Brown for the sistas.
