Legally blonde is a great example of correct female lead writing, Elle breaks the "Dumb blonde" trope, she's kind and compassionate and feminine but she's also snarky and smart and motivated and self empowered, while not needing to tear down men on the way.

Never forget: NOBODY had a problem with "Ellen Ripley" taking the lead in "Alien". And we're talking 1979, here. And then again in "Aliens" in 1986. She was badass, and everyone loved the character. Why? Because she wasn't there to make men look stupid and inept. She was surrounded by brave, competent characters, and fought bravely WITH them. "Ripley" is the character feminists need, but don't deserve.

The last female protagonist that I saw on screen with actual genuine strengths and issues was the survivalist mother in A Quiet Place. She dared with her husband to have another child despite the dangers of roaming creatures attracted to noise. In her mind, all their measures for survival meant for nothing if they both cannot conceive and raise the next generation. That's far more ballsy than some woman simply one-punching a man.

The joke has it that in order to write believable female characters the male writer takes a man and removes all reason and accountability. 😉 Seriously though, we now have a generation of writers with no life experience other then what they have learned in college AND that they have to adhere to THE RULES. As in no woman can be mentored by a man, lose to a man, be weaker then a man, be outsmarted by a man. When you lack life experience and are constrained by such stupid rules, your character building will be horrible.

Fun fact: one of the best comic book writers for decades was Chris Claremont, and he's best known for his legendary run on Uncanny X-Men, New Mutants, and lots of other stuff. He wrote truly unforgettable stories involving female heroes like Storm, Kitty 'Shadowcat' Pryde, Danielle Moonstar, Xi'an Coy Manh, Rhane Sinclair, Illyana Rasputin, Betsy Braddock...basically it's a DAMN long list! He knew how to give each of those ladies a distinctive voice, and I'm pretty sure his favorite was Kitty, who was basically your ordinary Jewish-American Midwestern girl next door who happened to have the power to phase through solid matter. Dammit, I miss the days when female heroes were written by people who had imagination!

You nail it. I love the Hollywood elite who think no strong woman ever made a movie before. They clearly never watch Kathrine Hepburn, Mae West, Audrey Hepburn, or Lauren Bacall in a movie. There have been strong women characters in film throughout history. The difference is those characters were the result of talented writers who could flush out the characters strength not the hacks writing in Hollywood today.

I've stumbled across your videos and I love them. Intelligent commentary about relavent subjects. This one in particular has burned my buttons for ages. For years I've argued that hollywood and marketing campaigns, specifically commercials, have turned men into ignorant dullards barely able to enhale and exhale with regular predictability, for the simple purposxe of making a woman look more intelligent or capable or simply better at whatever task, conversation, or purpose set before them. It's an embarrassment for modern feminism, or what has been passed as feminism. You put it perfectly when you explained that women should be able to rise on their own merit and not be like the bad guys to be taken seriously. Bad lazy writing is not the answer. Keep up the amazing dialogues. You rock!

I know the Avengers are fictional heroes and people, but watching their characters progress and develop through every movie from "narcissistics, billionaires, and war orphans" into better people who help change the world to a better place kind of make me want to be like them (not the superhero abilities). In the end of the day, I may not be a superhero like Hulk, or Thor or Dr Strange, but at least, I can play my part as better human being to help people. Then, out of nowhere you have a movie like She-Hulk where you have a nobody character who is downright narcissistic and typical victim behaviour downplay those characters progression like as if their efforts in Avengers Endgame worth nothing at all.

I vote for a female hero who does hero things: struggles against difficulty, deals with losses and setbacks, learns and evolves, and who has the strength of character to do what needs to be done, while dealing with it all as a woman- which is NOT the same as a man. Men would find her intriguing, and women, hopefully, inspiring. I always felt that Sarah Connor's descent into near-madness and violent behavior was believable as her intent to protect her son at all costs, as a mother naturally would. The biceps were only a plus.

Watch prey. The new predator it's like anti woke, the lead female character couldn't even hunt animals but when she started putting herself and her brother and dog at the same level. Instead of rising above them she rose to their same level then once she realized it her and her dog tore the predator apart. The female had like 'woke' tendencies but when they dropped those values she exploded in capabilities.

Of course. There's a reason it's called show business. It's designed to make money. It's why they had such strict rules on what content movies & TV could have for decades, which have now been replaced with new patterns. It's why they lean left on most political issues and still make lots of movies about guns (which they euphemistically call "action movies" when they're really revenge fantasies) despite several studies showing they're a factor in mass shootings. Like social media, show business exists for only one reason, M O N E Y, as in "show me the." And like the gun manufacturers, none of them care about their markets except what they can get out of them.

I think most of these issues come down to "show, don't tell". The fact that She-Hulk tells us "Men explaining my job to me pisses me off" is way less impactful than showing us a scene of that happening without anyone telling us "Look at this ! This is bad". The fact that they need to tell us either means they think we're stupid or it feels like on the nose social commentary. Imagine the movie Wonder Woman not showing us her backstory, training and struggle and just showing her kicking ass with a throw away line like "I have centuries of training". That would be bad too.

I guess the negative reacton from unemotional female leads can come down to our social intelligence and social behaviour. Basically why Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman worked for me (even though I didn't like the film itself) is because she's a great cast for the role and she managed to make her look like she fights the central powers and Ares because she's really invested into her moral code, and her concern for the state of the humanity feels genuine. She's resourseful, skilled, physically strong and, most importantly, trustworthy, which is why we can see her as a leader, which in turn aspires us. Lack of emotions, empathy and tendency to berate others and huge emphasis of self image are basically a bunch of narcissistic traights, so we perceive these characters as insecure, insencere, passive-agressive, spiteful and unreliable which kicks our survival instincs which cause us to hate these characters.

Just my take on character development. The point of a story is to show people an example of an imperfect human who manages to achieve a goal regardless of the inherent weaknesses of that human. Traditionally, this has been men in these rolls. So they are relatable to men who grow being told that they must achieve success in order to be considered a valuable contributor to society. Even though the story has the hero (in this case) taking on some Herculean challenge, men can relate to the man because we all have our own challenges in life and like the hero we have to improve ourselves in order to accomplish the task. But the women being portrayed in these movies are self inserts of the female driven writing team. They are too focused on themselves. Their lives are full of conflict because they are angry about everything. Take She Hulk for example. She doesn't want to save the world. Wants nothing to do with it. Yet is angry that her position in life has her answering to men in her professional world. Her lack of responsibility keeps her from seeking positions of authority within a business. She wants the job title but not the responsibility.

it bugs me so much that Jen constantly has to say "I've had it worse" when Bruce was genuinely trying to help her and offer advice as somebody who has been through similar situations. but Jen has to stroke her ego constantly and be like yeh my genes are better and you men don't understand. even the end credits are weird too. why do you have to rub it in our faces that Jen is "stronger than the dudes"? she can be strong without being compared to men. and frankly in the show, there aren't many assholes who are showing shit behaviors to Jen simply become she's a woman. This is just wokeass victim mentality that we do not need.

It is a natural outgrowth of applying THE RULES (ominous Critical Drinker voice) to writing Jen's character. And the rules, as formulated by the woke Roddenberry foundation, state when you write a female character no man can mentor a woman, no man can be stronger then a woman, no man can defeat a woman, no man can outsmart a woman, and another one I can't remember. Constrained by such rules that's how you get female characters like Jen. Or when you have a story where you have a male hero vs a female villain, you know she's going to defeat herself. (cough Dr. Strange 2, Star Wars Kenobi, cough). Woke story telling is horrible and predictable.

In the 1960s there was a British TV series called "The Avengers", starring a pair of secret agents. The man was Steed, who were a suit and bowler hat, and was the archetypical English gentleman. The other was Emma Peel, who could handle a gun like the best of them, and was certainly someone you'd want to have around when you were in a tight fix - but she was also very feminine. A woman doesn't have to be masculine to be "strong".

Especially from someone who is family, and that she’s ostensibly supposed to love.She is so wildly unlikable that it almost feels like we should be rooting against her. She made a character that is literally a hulk, seem small, weak, and pathetic.
