Being realistic doesn't mean you hate women

In.

Hawkeye so far as we can tell has invincibility in all circumstances beyond self-sacrifice and a magic infinite quiver that constantly produces as many arrows of whatever kinds he needs at all times, so clearly Hawkeye wins.

Hawkeye vs. any member of the Fast and Furious cast is the greater question.

Roman solos. He's immune to ranged weapon fire and this canon. He's either forcing ppl to miss him through some unsee force or he's phasing through bullets.

I don't think there's a line to be drawn.

Bollywood action movies seem silly to an American audience just like American blockbusters like Fast&Furious or Mission Impossible are considered silly to everyone else.

Never laughed as much in a theater as when I watched Mechanic: Resurrection for the first time

Only thing that should matter is coherence within a movie or franchise's own universe. It's fair to dog a Mary Sue in that context.

Yeah but if a guy starts throwing cars at people when nothing much indicated that he could, I'm going to want to know what is going on. Even under internal consistency, the issue I have is, what makes the person so special that they can do certain things? I mention little girls but I extend much of that to scrawny loser-looking dudes. I'm going to have a problem if McLovin is doing the same shyt. I'm going to laugh at that the same way.

Y'all telling me that Queen latifah is doing this

 

[WaveMolecules]

Fair enough. I just take it for what it is no matter the protagonist. Most blockbusters rely on this trope that the mc is just that dude and pulls off impossible feats somehow.

It's just a time passing thread


But but but anything men can do women can too

Don't take it seriously, I'm just having fun



But in "insert movie" y'all didn't complain about this

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

A single man beating 100 dudes at the same time got yall content

But wanna bring up realism anytime a woman does some shyt

Check your biases

These dudes are insecure fukking nerds

The fukked up part about this argument is that most times it’s built on faulty points.
J. Lo spent 75% of that movie absolutely shook of that Cac, and then trained in tai bo or some shyt…and yet she still barely won the fight. The Predator is an advanced species from another planet with tech that would melt the mind of even the smartest humans beings on earth, but it’s totally realistic for Arnold’s meathead ass to win the fight and he didn’t even know what he was fighting for half the movie.
It reminds me of when people were complaining about A Quiet Place Part II having a strong woman agenda despite Emily Blunt’s character tearfully pleading with a man to find her daughter, that man proceeds to save her life several times throughout the movie, and sacrifices his well being to buy her time to defeat the creature in the end. If a woman is anything more than eye candy, gettin’ fukked, or side character status it’s an agenda.

Nah even my wife has said some shows go over the top with the female character bs. It makes the male cast look stupid, weak, or just trying too hard to put her over the top

I agree. But the shows that do that rarely ever get the attention. It’s usually aimed where it’s no applicable.
