In this video I talk about why modern female super heroes are so bad, specifically marvel ones. I go over she hulk, wandavision, black widow and more. Power puff girls solos Remember to Like ;)
@@spider-man9118 bruh? What are you Amish or some shit? Somebody just mentions liking a female character and your first instinct is "Yall need Jesus?" Man yall RU-vid Evangelists are everywhere these days, so just get the fuck outta here and go to Low Tier God.
The Powerpuff Girls worked so well, because Craig McCracken wasn't afraid to show female characters being beaten up, beaten down, and emotionally exposed on screen. The show had action and comedy, it was silly and absurd but also entertaining and exciting, because that's what people want to see, regardless of whether the main characters are women or men. The entertainment industry these days, in general, DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT.
A character that has no weakness...doesn't have strengths at all Don't tell me "oh so Superman is weak" but hey,he struggles a job and living a normal life and even if he's OP he still gets beaten up so...
The reason why the writing for modern day heroines suck is because they fill the role of “strong independent woman who doesn’t want a man” instead of “a person who has their own struggles despite having what most people want but learns to overcome or live with it”
frl they had bad writing so the creators decide to use “misogyny” as an excuse. Like She-Hulk’s creator, she really decided to use that as her ultimate excuse for writing a bad show.
In my opinion, it is because the writers often think of it like "protagonist female character" instead of "protagonist character, that is a female". Like at the end of the day, a good written "female character" its just a good written character.
@@gersploink well she knew nothing about the she hulk source material in the first place so she was never suitable for marvel projects at all. The problem comes down to disney/marvel (really any company in general) not hiring the right people and just doong whatever without any thought for some quick money.
@@thereisnoacounthere489I often read that when you set up a story you start with world structure first then little by little you come to your characters (their gender/apparence/personality) being the last thing you write. Just like a lego structure , you do foundation first , otherwise if you choose bloc by bloc what you like you might find things that don't match and end up with holes (plotholes here) 🤔
The worst thing is that they believe they're doing women a favor by portraying these characters as "perfect goddesses".I honestly don't know ONE woman that like Captain Marvel or She-Hulk.
I can name tons of strong female characters that have good writing (Comic) she hulk Sarah Connor Samus Aran Lara Croft Ellen ripley Caulifla and kale from dragon ball super The already mentioned Ahsoka
I remember being BULLIED by my parents and older brother because I liked to watch the Power Puff Girls as a kid. Even though that show taught valuable life lessons like the importance of family, friendship, and doing a positive service to your community.
@@supermaximglitchy1 They couldn't understand why a then 8 year old boy wanted to watch a "girl's show" even though it was more violent and mature than the boys shows at the time.
Ashoka Tano is a great example for a female character. She wasn’t perfect at the start, she had her own struggles and goes through this arc of maturing and goes on her own adventures outside of the Jedi council after being wrongly accused of a crime she didn’t commit.
It’s not even that marvel doesn’t know how to write good female characters, it’s that you can’t write one without reusing majority of what you’ve written before. All aside though, them trying to make she-hulk better than hulk or saying her backstory is sadder is just a disgrace
Oh sure, like I’m supposed to believe that Hulk is weaker than She-Hulk, and had it easy. Like, oh you got catcalled? Boohoo; Bruce got abused by his own father, who also killed his mother and unlike She-Hulk, he does struggle with Hulk, knowing villains would take advantage of the monster, the army chasing his ass, and still pushed through all that.
@@RWSfan2024having her be in control just makes more messed up how she was about to kill 3 random guys that cat called her, sure, classic jerk one use character, use them for comic relief if you want or scare them into running away but she was about to strike them. And they want her to be the likeable protagonist
She telling hulk he had it easier when he LITERALLY GOT HIS POWERS BY A COMBINED DNA ABUSE AND A FATAL DOSE OF RADIATION THAT HE ONLY GOT BECAUSE _HE THREW HIS BODY AS A SHIELD IN FRON OF HIS COLLEAGUE_ is the most shitty quote ever, in every possible universe
I'm grateful that Shuri, unlike Captain Marvel and She-Hulk, was thrown challenge after challenge as if she was comic book Spider-Man. Dead dad, she watched her brother get thrown off a waterfall, Thanos chaos, failed to save her brother, was given a choice to either side with or go against Namor, saw her mom die, got bodied by Namor, and had to restrain herself from killing Namor which would lead to a war between Wakandans and the Talokans. After all that, she decides to let M'baku become king of Wakanda as she knows she's not ready for that level of responsibility and commitment
the sad thing is Black Panther Wakanda Forever wasnt free from strong female character... yes the MC, Shuri is good, thank God for that... but not this Riri Williams lmao
@@yohanesbobbysanjaya3541 I agree with that to an extent. She was only a secondary character, both her suits were clunky and had a limited arsenal, even with Wakandan tech. Also Queen Ramonda's death left her feeling helpless and a reason for her to continue being Iron Heart: to create a suit of power that can save others
ATLA (Avatar the Last Airbender) did a phenomenal job writing strong, and integrous female characters that didn't feel mega woke/feminist. Honestly, it shouldn't even be about gender or race. A fantastic hero is a fantastic hero for the virtues she/he embodies: honesty, courage, self-sacrifice, integrity, strength. When these values are lacking, ANY character (esp a hero) will be sucky - male or female. Katara, Suki, Toph were strong and determined in their own way without preaching "woman = men." They didn't need to; they dedicated themselves to their beliefs and let their actions speak for themselves. Perfect? Absolutely not. Human, and role models that hopefully have not been cast aside entirely.
Everyone besides Katar she always acted like the biggest victim cuz she lost her mum when Sokka Aang Toph Zuko all had equally if not bigger life problems bur Suki and Toph slayed
@@multistanhuhue1601yeah. But she’s 14 and visibly still traumatised after seeing her mom’s bleeding body at four. To top things off, she felt guilty all those years because her mom sacrificed herself for her. I don’t accept what she told Sokka, but part of it is still a bit true. Katara was closer to her mom, while Sokka was closer to his dad. The minute she let Zuko in, he stabbed her in the back so of course she’d understandably be angry and hurt. Especially since Aang got hurt because she trusted Zuko.
It's not that. It's that Women have become Vengeful, Detestful, Mean Creatures that only Attack everything. So we can even SUSPEND BELIEF, even in a 2 hour Movie that a Modern Woman has the Virtue REQUIRED to be a Superhero and would choose HELPING People as a Lifestyle..
The problem is that directors REALLY want to show women experiencing sexism and misogyny in every single movie and that’s their only challenge. And the way it’s portrayed is also unrealistic as well. They don’t tackle actual issues that women face and they just implement a cartoony version of sexism in their plots and call it a day.
@@oksomynameisjeff4212 you don't understand just from watching her interviews you can tell she's extremely egocentric not over overconfident she's has a giant ego
Brie Larson, and yeah, the other actors really don’t seem to like her. You can see in interviews that they seem really annoyed and uncomfortable around her.
I’m a girl, and honestly, refusing to give female characters flaws or humanize them isn’t some big “girl power” thing (I personally hate that term but that’s a rant for another day), all it does is place higher expectations on women, because it shows them that men are allowed to be flawed and grow as people, while women have to be completely perfect and flawless from the get-go. Pretty harmful when you think of it, which, you know, is the opposite of what these creators are going for.
@@Blue-mp5mh I really liked the original Mulan (the animated version). She wasn't very strong physically, but she more than made up for that with her courage, intelligence and determination. The live action version basically turned her into Wonder Woman, but dull and unlikeable
@@electric_chris I know....I understand those concepts but it doesn't need to mean that "She" can do it without efforts with herself and doesn't have an obstacle
@@Blue-mp5mh Yes, that's the point I was making. In the animated version, Mulan struggled to keep up with, and prove herself to, her male counterparts, whereas in the live action version, Mulan destroys the enemy forces with little to no effort/struggle
@@electric_chrisone of my favorite moments is when she figured out the pole it showed that you gotta use your brain in battle And then live action went “screw this!” And just made her use her superpowers
I feel Kate Bishop is one of the good female heroes in the MCU, at least in my pov. She respects Hawkeye and doesn't insult him, is a talented archer but is still flawed and is learning.
Yeah, she's likeable(Same with Shuri) honestly. In the future, Kate Bishop will be on the same skill level as Hawkeye since she does have a bit more training to do, we'll see soon as Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars arrives.
I'm glad you talked positive about Kate bishop, the character has been getting a lot of hate for some reason, labeled as "marry sue" which made me question if these people really watched the show
Yeah, her whole thing was skilled but not experienced. And that worked rather well. Allows her to do the whole fight fight stuff well still fucking up all the time.
To be fair yeah, you can make a Big Skill but No Experience work. As in, Oh I trained so much that I’ve perfected these theoretical moves. Now to test them on real opponents! OH GOD ITS NOT LIKE THE SIMULATION!!
I’m always find it ironic how in this day and age these media companies are all for “Woman’s Equality.” And “Women’s Empowerment”, yet when they try and do this bullshit it always fails😂.
its because companies don’t actually care about women. they don’t actually care about anyone, they just care that they’ll get the money out of you. it’s just marketing tactics. it fails because it’s not ever an accurate depiction of women and women don’t even like it because of that reason.
The key to make it work is to actually make men and women equal. Put em on the same pedestal and realize both are important. That’s how you get equality, not by glorifying one and diminishing the other. Cannot believe this modern age is having the exact same social issues as the friggin 18-1900’s, just reversed.
Women's equality and women's emporwement have become blanket statements to hide the actualy intentions of the people who say it at this point: letting women do whatever they want and get whatever they want without having to take accounatblity. No struggle, no growth, just constant gains. It's become the status quo because these people emerge from places like femenism and other female advocating groups, and use that as the excuse. Meanwhile, these companies and celebs and internet personalities all don't give two shits about anyone besides themselves knows that out of "femenism" and any other choice, "femenism" would be the most supported, so they're all for it on cameras and in the media, and their sheeple fans who eat up whatever they say and spit back at anyone who will listen because it's easier and less worrying to have their opinions formed by someone else than themselves spread it everywhere.
I’m just going to flat out say it: I like women. I have nothing against them. The real problem with female heroes isn’t men not liking them it’s just that the writers of that show overwhelmingly overpower women to be too perfect with absolutely no weaknesses. And ironically it makes them weak and shallow. It has nothing to do with men not liking. We need them as much as they need us. Equality yo’.
same dude, i really like women too. one gave birth to me, one bought me toys every time she visited me as a kid, one helped me with my homework, several educated me in school, two showed me romantic love when i was sad. women are cool as hell. it's just some women like captain marvel i don't like that much. like what's so difficult to understand about that? some people don't like me either, and that's fine!
Women can be protagonists. I fell in love with this character named yellow from the pokemon manga she was 8 so she was childish and a pacifist but she still could win through different strategies. She still had weaknesses but they were understandable she was a child but she got the job done. I lived her so much as a kid she basically formed my preference in powers and women
Damn, talking about childhood. Blue (or Green, depending on the translation), Sapphire, and Crystal were all great female protagonists in their own story and saga.
@@not-so-obvious_autism777my b bad wording. I kinda meant "it's not like women can't be protagonist there are great examples before these people so it's not like it's new or hard to make them" that's kinda what I was trying to say wasn't addressing anyone just pointing out that there are examples not really harping on anyone who was making a claim
The problem is that they write the characters as women rather than writing the characters as people, who just happen to be women too. The same concept applies to male characters, they are written as people, who also happen to be men too.
Aye. Women are humans too. They experience imperfections of ups and downs like men and they are not expected to be good at everything without progress all of a sudden. These weirdos cannot learn and do not learn from their mistakes.
I know Ahsoka is a jedi and not a superhero but she is easily one of the best developed and complex characters of all time. Yeah she was a dislikable brat at the beginning but all it took was for Dave Filoni to make a few character developing episodes where she learns to become a better person and more noble jedi and halfway through the series she becomes one of the most loved. Character redemption at its finest
She was designed that way which is why she's beloved now starting out everybody hated her but grew to love her we see the consequences for her actions her taking accountability developing her fighting style
Layla? The super awesome woman who's so awesome that even Khonshou wanted her as his avatar preferring her to a former skilled marine? The woman who actually sees there's sth disturbingly wrong with Mark regarding his behavior and yet just handing him the divorce papers regardless? The one who got to be as good as Mark the moment she became Scarlet Scarab? The one who blamed Mark for her father's death even though he couldn't have done anything to stop those mercenaries? Yeah I don't see how she can pass as a good female character... .
@@Slightly-Acceptable-Nerd Oh chill out dude There's been worse female characters in Marvel Besides that, one can actually feel her being a good female character If you don't think so, keep your opinion to yourselves
@@scientifreak5 Maybe you don't know what a good female character is. She's only good if you compare her to Captain Marvel and She-Hulk. That's all but you're entitled to your opinion.
@@Slightly-Acceptable-Nerdtrue… but if you think about it, she was flawed because she did what you mentioned.. she misjudged Marc instead of being understanding she flat out blamed him (which sounds reasonable because she is still grieving her father) but obviously it doesn’t mean she was right, so that in itself was one of her flaws.. and also Khonshu never wanted her as an avatar, he just said he did so he could continue to manipulate Marc. But I do agree that they messed up with making her “perfect” in the sense of her handling her new powers as an avatar..
The MCU had tons of women heroes we struggled with and therefore cared about! Phase four however, we were never given a chance or a reason to care! That's why it failed!
Because Modern Women have a Bad Reputation these days and we can never Suspend Belief long enough to even Fathom they would help someone. Think of a TikTok Girl with dangerous Super Powers, or your Ex-Wife, or Ex-Girlfriend and you are actually picturing a MONSTER, not a HERO.
i think its mainly bc women think they need to try to "beat men at their own game" by acting like they're superior to you, while also at the same time acting like you don't let them do shit and they need to tryhard in order to get a single w its just so blatantly twofaced that most people get turned off by it, when the superhero is more concerned with "being a girlboss eho slays the patriarchy!!!!!!11!!!!!!" than idk *ACTUALLY USING THEIR POWERS TO SAVE LIVES AND ACCEPT THEY HAVE A HIGHER RESPONSIBILITY TO THE PEOPLE* instead mostly its just "Girl is super strong and cool, she's so much better than those icky MALES who stink and are dummies and REALLY MEAN:(((!!!!" where it should be "girl gets superpowers, fucks shit up and saves the day" you can already instantly tell which is more appealing to male and female audiences tl;dr: woman superheroes suck because its more about the woman than the superhero, which turns a cool hero into a whiny unlikable bitch when they should be above that bc they **have fucking SUPERPOWERS**
thank you there's plenty of well thought-out characters they could have introduced in the MCU but didn't shehulk is the main one and they f***** her over in that abomination of a show
Its not about the patriarchy or whatever, the mcu is just mid now honestly, mrs marvel is a great hero in the comics, but as soon as shes here, nobody remembers her. She hulk, same deal. CAPTAIN MARVEL actually she always sucked but still
it’s more about the writers who actually make the characters unlikeable. even most women don’t like these female characters because it’s not accurate to how actual women act. it’s like writers are afraid of giving these women real flaws and try to make them “perfect” which does the opposite affect and makes them appear snobby. also i really agree ab what you said when they put more focus on the fact she’s a woman than the fact she’s a superhero. i hate that
@@darkmatter1721 Didn't Ms.Marvel have a good number of cancelled runs in comics? As far as I know Ms.Marvel, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, America Chavez and Echo were at best mid and mostly bad. She-Hulk however at least has a decent run by Byrne if I'm not mistaken. She's generally more likable than those mentioned above. IIRC, Carol Danvers wasn't that much special even before the feminist agenda. So that means She-Hulk out of all the aforementioned characters is the only good one.
What do you think of Shuri from the Black Panther series? I thought she was done pretty well compared to other leading female characters from Marvel, especially given the short timeframe Ryan Coogler had to improvise considering the circumstances. Spider Gwen is another well done character.
I know you aren't talking to me, but I do agree with you. I personally think Shuri and Gwen Stacy were both pretty well written. I feel like female superheroes get a bad reputation because of bad ones. I'm actually beginning to think a lot of people mention these bad female characters as an excuse to be sexist.
@@alantennent6576 which one Saying that they want to make it seem that their characters are as popular as their male counterparts Or my saying that it was a mistake trying to push captain marvel as face of marvel when she is not popular or liked Look at Wonder Woman from DC you do not hear complaints about her strength or power she can go toe to toe with DC's strongest heroes yet she is still popular the truth is Marvel Female Characters suck Except Natasha,Gamorrah
Xena Warrior Princess was an exceptionally well written action hero with a great character arc throughout the series. From the very first scene she realises how flawed she is and how she doesn't deserve the redemption she's fighting for. But she keeps going and her story gets fleshed out in the six seasons of the show.
Certain versions of Wonder Woman are great female heroes too, as long as she’s an actual good symbol of a warrior hero with real problems and efforts to solve them. Wonder Woman’s formula works for anyone in terms of writing.
Now wonder woman is just another fake fantasy warrior with stick arms 😂. Wonder woman back in 80s comics was mascular as an actual Amazonian and was a hero .
@@justicethedoggo3648 yeah older versions of Wonder Woman were great, some more modern ones ruin all that she stood for and she’s used for toxic feminist agendas and all the “men bad” stuff.
@@Pyreax865 funny how the older version of wonder woman was infact mascular and didn't really went for the feminine type of male gaze lmao . But still we like her more .
@@justicethedoggo3648 old Wonder Woman still attracted attention. Her character design was well done, she was a warrior and she still looked like a woman. Now people can’t make strong female characters without either changing what they look like to make them ugly, or just making them ugly in the first place. It’s almost as if they don’t like beautiful women in media.
3:25 Gotham is a good example of this, the character Barbara Kean gets a happy ending while characters like Penguin and the Riddler spend a decade behind bars
Personally I liked Captain Marvel's movie because it was a fun action story with a lot of energy. Then she showed up in Endgame and did nothing. Then Ms. Marvel started out as a creative story but got really boring after 2 episodes. Black Widow should've been a Phase 1 movie or Phase 2 at the latest.
The issue is that Disney prioritizes pushing political agendas over creating a good story. If they show women encountering any struggles or weakness, it undermines their agenda and fails to appease the vocal minority of the 'politically-correct'; who also happen to account for a vast majority of the ratings that these films receive.
@@peenoice5176 Because it can backfire if they take things too far, it will get to a point where it negatively impacts the film to such an extent that viewers will go out of their way to submit negative reviews.
yea i just hate when there is the final battle and the superhero is just like "hey now i am overpowered and i know how to use 1000% of my power and one shot you" i mean it's cool and fun to watch but really for example dr.strange trained in a epic montage for months to be the wrost magician and in the dr.strange multiverse its just the matter of seconds and a random girl knows how to be the monst op human in the multiverse
Now that you gave us your opinion on this it’s made me think of a 5th reason for female superheroes in shows and movies (and this is with comics to) and it’s fan service. A lot of these problems wouldn’t be that bad if they stopped wasting so much time on making them so sexually provocative and focus on them being likable and inspirational characters that people can actually respect
The problem isnt with female superheroes, there are plenty of great female superheroes and characters, the problem is nowadays they can't have a female character without going woke with agendas
@@istealtoast2089 And could you give me your definition of the word woke? It’s only one right way to use the word but it’s clear most of y’all have just changed the word around to some bullshit
@@Ynkian I don't think there's an official definition but it also doesn't mean one thing it could be used to describe someone that brings polotics into everything and uses the victim card even though most of the time their not a victim
@@Lithosagymfan173once again, explain the fact that female heroes that have character development, growth on the way, their own flaws and fears like all people do actually get good rating consistently
@@remixgameyt1172 Rey has character development(Becoming into her person to stand on the same podium as the Legendary Heroes), growth on the way(She opens a new Jedi Temple), has her flaws and fears(Her search for a heritage, the many humiliating losses she gets, and her fear of becoming like her only family), and people seem to hate her. In my mind, if you have to come out and say:" I don't hate female characters, I just hate bad writing," it just shows you're sexist who is trying behind an excuse, especially when "Good" and "Bad" writing don't exist. I have even seen people claim that Evelyn and Jinx(Everything Everywhere All At Once and Arcane, respectively) were Mary Sues.
@@Lithosagymfan173 Rey has practically no flaws unlike characters from prequels: Kenobi was oblivious to Anakin was tempted the dark side and wasn't trusted even by his close ones, Anakin was easily driven by anger and tempted, Luke was overconfident, arrogant and quick to act. They also had something to overcome, like Luke who due to his overconfidence lost the first battle against Vader / Anakin and this gave him a purpose that made the next fight more intense. The movie also showed him going from beginner to being actually skilled. What does Rey have? No flaws: she's kind, loyal, patient, righteous, everyone trusts her even if they just met. Somehow beats a master after picking up a lightsaber for the first time. Pulls out random abilities never heard of before in the lore. Rolls over anyone in her way. She doesn't have anything to overcome if she has no flaw. Moreover why new Star Wars is hated includes (but is not limited to): Plot holes, story conveniences, treating lightsabers like glowing baseball bats, disregard for previous chapter lore, logical inconsistencies. Compare the sequels to the old Star Wars: Both chapters 1-3 and 4-6 have good strong female characters (Leya, Padme). They aren't hated whatsoever neither by me nor by the community, so your assumption about me being "sexist" is wrong You also stated that there is NO "Bad" or "Good" writing. Explain the megamind 2 controversy then
The only terrible things about wandavision isnt the ending, the ending was great, it linked to so many upcoming movies without distrupting the story, it had the most profound line and message abiut parenting. It was the climax of scarlet witch story line. The only terrible thing about wandavision is that one frickin line from monica rambeau. She should just said "They dont know what you've been going through, but i will not deny whats taken from them either." It shown that she sympathize with wanda but she also confirm what wanda does was wrong instead of passing it like it was nothing lile they did in the series.
It's not that we hate female superheroes I mean there are good ones like Kim possible and Mulan but we hate characters that have no flaws and are perfect like a marry sue
I remember having huge fights with my bf over she-hulk because he liked it as a silly fun show and wanted to watch all of it, while I hated it because of how boring, nonsensical, and two-dimensional the show was. There was literally no solid plotline whatsoever
I understand where both of you are coming from.Personally I hate it,because how bad it is and how it reminds me of soap operas.But I get the feeling of watching something purely for silliness and fun,it can make you ignore the flaws easily.
Not related to this video but I have always loved totally spies since my childhood, I loved the writing, the storyline and everything else. I was astonished to find out when Tom Aztruc or whatever his surname played a role in creating that anime after reading some about him, he also created miraculous ladybug.
The girl power scene during the final battle of Endgame was the the most cringe thing ever, I audibly said "REALLY?" in the theater. Like the scene wasn't even remotely subtle. When Marvel tries to shine light on females they do it in ways that are more offensive that endearing...its like "see! we like women! theyre equals! Thats why were giving them spotlight! SEEEEE?!?!?"
I think the biggest problems are they being perfect from the beginning so little to no grow up arc and they being always right even if they are literally terrorist, Marvel really tried harder to make us hate Dr strange before being a super hero than a literal terrorist and a super powerful witch who kidnapped a full town
Wanda is great. Black Widow was great. Miss Marvel is my favorite so far because I relate so much to her. Captain Marvel could've been great if her story was handled correctly. As for She-hulk, I don't know honestly.
daisy Johnson, Jessica jones, peggy carter, kate bishop, yelena, shury and probably more good ones that i forgot, would like a word with you...and that from mcu plus the old shows like shield and some of the netflix shows...
Like I have said to my friends before I don't care if the character is male or female or what thier love interest is as long as it's not done just because or the plot is good. The problem with a lot of stuff is its just not that good anymore with a few exceptions on things. ( half the time it just feels like beating a dead horse or something)
Marvel heard "strong female character" and thought it meant woman who punch good. rather than "character with as much depth and complexity as male characters usually get"
Rey from Star Wars is a perfect example of absolutely HORRENDOUS character telling Like she has no depth is weak and also she just gets everything without doing anything she does nothing like Anakin Skywalker or Luke Skywalker they where perfect I mean look at Ashoka Tano she was an amazing female character I’m telling you man it’s Disney
I have been a She-Hulk fan since 2013 and have been collecting a lot of her comic books and I was so excited to see her in the MCU and got very disappointed.
Bro the girl (America Chavez) went through a whole movie trying to control her powers and coping with the fact that she kind of possibly destroyed her parents and the fact that she might be the only version of her out there (according to the comics that's not true but whatever)
modern female super heroes suffer from mary sue syndome like for real, sometimes it feels like this is bad fanfic you find on deviantart not people with college degrees making 6 figures.
i highly disagree with the wanda part, the reason why she's a better character than the rest is because she flawed as hell and accountability has nothing to do with why she didnt face repercusions, it has to do with power because who the hell is gonna stop her if she refuse to cooperate ? no one. So no wanda does not sucks in this department.
@@florianbelleterre1903 Wouldn't she herself being willing to accept the consequences of her crimes and then willing to get captured, be an indication of a character arc? That didn't happen. She still saw herself as a righteous human with that bint Monica Rambeau reinvigorating her belief that she didn't do anything wrong. It's totally obvious because she went after the Darkhold for her later plan. She never believed she was in the wrong.
@@Slightly-Acceptable-Nerd she doesnt see herself as righteous at all she knows that she fucked up and did horrible things to people that's why she decided to destroy the darkhold and the temple. She's a good person inside she just a good redemption arc to prove it.
@@florianbelleterre1903 You misread my comment. I was talking about the events prior to the second Dr.Strange movie. What happens in that movie is idiotic as well considering she doesn't even make sense but that's another story.
2:00 I agree, this was exactly the issue with her imo. I don't read Marvel Comics so I hardly even knew her, they introduced her like she just came home from a walk in the park.. Then the next thing was a little pep talk from Dr. Strange and that's it, you're all good?? On top of that she beat THE Scarlet Witch without a single sweat while THE Dr. Strange almost died literally a zombie fighting her. Come on now..
They are too perfect, I'm a writer and it just bothers me that these female characters, now called "girl bosses" are too perfect, they have no flaws, or fears, or anything, there are rarely any moments where you see vulnerability in these characters
It's like the problem with the last Charlie's Angels movie. More than hammering you over the head with how men are bad and women are amazing (There's two non-evil men in the movie, the dude who dies and the one who cooks the Angels a feast then asks permission to touch them), what screws over the movie is that every woman is amazing at everything. Something that's actually stated in the opening scene. The thing with Charlie's Angels, or indeed any successful team, is that they all have specialties. Yes, every Angel can always fight, but there's always one who's the best fighter. Same with always having one who's the most knowledgeable, and one who's the people person who can charm anyone. They cover each other's weaknesses even if none of them are helpless in any given field. The last Charlie's Angels changed it to having all three Angels being absolutely amazing at everything ever. The scientist who was just recruited? Oh, she's an expert at Krav Maga. The brawny one who's their combat specialist? Oh she knows more about chemistry than a dedicated chemist. Heck, even for intelligence, you can make characters smart in different ways. Dylan was good at puzzles, which let her figure out the name for one property was an anagram for their target's last name. Natalie knew a lot of trivia and odd facts, so she recognized a bird call as a specific species of bird only found in one place (and in the sequel puzzled out that "Step on a stair" was a reference to Fred Astaire's star on the Hollywood walk of fame). Alex was the scientifically and academically inclined one who could hack into a computer or quickly analyze what a chemical was.
As an Asian American man that is currently hunting for jobs, I don’t want *Jessica Gao (the woman who got involved in the She-Hulk show)* in my home talking about perfect women nonstop.
I hate movies where the protagonist is a girl boss where they can do no wrong because it makes the movie boring live action Mulan is a perfect example of that. In the original cartoon version Mulan went through hell during her training to the point of giving up but she pushed through. Despite coming over her training obstacles she still went through the harsh struggles of war and tragedy. But in this decade, men have to work hard and face the struggles head on without any handouts or to be given a victory on a silver plate, they put themselves through hell to get to there. However if a woman had to do that in a movie it would be considered sexist and woke would complain that “why can’t she be powerful like the men” well because men got there by putting in the hard work unlike today’s female protagonists.
