Aaron furrows his brow immediately after the guy asks "how does it feel like for a woman..." Like really, a question that starts like that has 90% chance to be seriously stupid
For some reason there is an option for me to translate your comment, and when I do so it remains identical, except instead of 'Makes me love him more!,' it says, 'Makes me love him Blackberries!' Oh, Google.
Benji Zee LOL! I saw the blackberries thing...and for a minute I was thinking 'im pretty sure i didnt write blackberries' almost doubted myself for a second there! *eyeroll* and also why is it giving us an option to translate, im pretty sure my english was spot on. -___-
It's a bad question on so many levels though, like 1) he's implying she's not a hero in this movie because she's a nurse, 2) he's implying that it's weird for women to be heroes, 3) he's asking her questions on a different project than the one she's promoting, 4) he's implying that women don't play powerful characters in general including this role, 5) he's totally disregarding the role in general when he says oh, here you were a nurse, OF COURSE I wasn't talking about this role, duh. And he got rightly dissed by ATJ because he was being a misogynistic jerk. He is now a part of a huge meme and I don't even think he realized he was flipped off at the time.
What is ever worse is that after the movie many critics likewise devalued her character, treating her as if she played the "typical helpless female" waiting for her man to rescue her. Those critics and fans comments and views were so disgusting. Olsen played a strong character of a wife and mother.
Aaron is so offended on her behalf, I love it. I fully expect him to be like this once they start doing press for Age of Ultron (because you KNOW the sexist shit ain't gonna stop here).
IM LITERALLY ONLY HERE BECAUSE I SAW A GIF OF HIM FLIPPING THE SEXUST INTERVIEWER OFF HOLY SHIT ITS THE MOST SUBTLE THING BUT SO EFFECTIVE AND FILLED WITH SO MUCH ATTITUDE ITS CRAZY AND LOOK AT HIM AFTER HE DOES IT HE LOOKS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF LOOK AT THAT LITTLE SHIT SMILING AND EVERYTHING OH MY GOD YES AARON IS FUCKING WONDERFUL YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE yes man uuuggghhhhh this is probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen
"Were you more intimidated by the sex scene in Olboy or the improvisation?" Ugh. There was absolutely no need to bring up a sex scene in an interview about Godzilla.. Then there's the last question with an obviously sexist undertone. What a jerk.
Omg! XDD Aaron just flipped of the interviewer at 4:25 . Totally get why he did that....implying that her character isn't a hero because she's a nurse and making it sound like women can't be heroes....*sigh*. But I love how he took offense for her lol. The Easter Bunny™
Despite Aaron flipping off the interview can we also acknowledge the fact that Aaron kept staring at Elizabeth and then smiled when she mentioned how she was handling her "son" in the movie at 2:50. Ugh I ship!
The question was: how does it feel for a woman to play a character with such an iconic physique? Totally didn’t spend a bunch of time tryna find that interview 😭
The interviewer was asking lozzie how it felt to play a hero in avengers instead of playing a nurse in godzilla which is implying that nurses aren't heroes and women arent heroes and he was also asking questions about a totally different movie then the one they're promoting
He was like, "as a woman how is it to play a powerful character" kinda saying that women aren't already powerful. & hey, he's foreign so maybe it translated weirdly. But you can see Arron's face when he says it like "really, she's already played a hero"..
what is so offensive about the question? contrasting a nurse with a superhero or asking how does it feel for a woman to play a character who is so powerful physically is not such an offensive thing
Александра Курчикова The question itself wasn't that offensive - he was asking how it felt to be playing a superhero, which is pretty standard - but it was his reaction to her asking if he meant Avengers, when the interviewer said 'Yeah, the next film.' and then added in a very sceptical tone 'I mean, in this one you're playing a nurse!' The interviewer seemed to be suggesting that a nurse was somehow not heroic, but it also kind of feels like it was a comment on her gender as well? I can't really offer any evidence of that, other than a general dislike of asking women such patronising questions as 'how will it feel to play a superhero?'
Holly Lovering maybe you're right, but I just understood it in another way. I think he meant that women are weak and fragile (physically) and it's interesting to know how does it feel to play so strong and powerful character... anyway, it was stupid to contrast a nurse with a superhero, but I think he just didn't think when he said this. I don't think it was on purpose.
It’s funny how Aaron only flipped of the interviewer, did nothing else to smile while Elizabeth answered and then the whole internet goes: “WOW, HE’S SUCH A GENTLEMAN, I SHIP” "HE’S SO OFFENDED”. 🤣🤣
Oh, how adorable is that, flipping the interviewer off so "subtly." The question specifically was asked about the contrast between playing a nurse and a superhero. While nurses are heroes in their work, and take a lot of shit from a lot of people (I have two in my family, one whom I go to constantly for medical advice) there is nothing wrong with that question. I'd say that's more unprofessional of Aaron to flip the interviewer off than it was for the question to be asked. Perhaps because of his lack of English, he worded it wrong. Or perhaps the question should have been worded differently. Like what it's like to go from being a comic book superhero, to being a regular hero...like a nurse? They are clearly different roles that she had to play, one required more physical endurance than the other. And honestly, in Godzilla, she didn't really do much. While Aaron's character spent more time saving some other person's child rather than his own.
She didn't look offended by the question. Also i don't see the problem with the question. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS WHAT HE SAID AFTER THE QUESTION. "Here you played a nurse". That's what got him the middle finger...
Well I mean it really depends on the definition of "hero". Yea she was saving lives in the hospital and whatnot, but ultimately she still played the typical damsel in distress, which is becoming so cliched that it hurts Ford was more of a literal hero while Godzilla was a metaphorical one (he was not a "good guy" at all, but ultimately his actions in the end proved beneficial to the human species, by coincidence.
not trying to defend the interviewer or anything, but i don't think the questions were his own? earlier he asks elizabeth something (i can't understand anything he says) and she claims that he gets nervous afterwards and his face gets red. maybe someone above him just handed him those questions? :/
I don't think you're reaching at all, I thought the same thing. If he got that nervous, I doubt he wrote those questions himself. Not excusing the questions, but I do agree that he probably didn't write them himself.
Courtney Lozano as a journalist I can tell you he definitely wrote those questions himself or together with someone else (so definitely with his own input). There's no way in hell he didn't know the questions before hand because you have to do your research.
