Croods 2 slaying gender norms for 7 minutes straight

- I really love this movie lol I kept watching it over and over until I realized that it's literally defying gender norms left and right. No wonder I like it.
I also love the music in it! Go listen to "Feel the Thunder" by HAIM and "I Think I Love You" by Tenacious D! Both are such good songs near the end :):)
Song I used in this video:
Neopolitan (Aircheck) from Animal Crossing New Horizons - บันเทิง

I want to watch this movie so bad but I can't. I don't know where I can :(
Apparently it’s free right now on the “Fandango at Home” app! Good luck finding/watching it there! 🥰
@@msmilan_19 Thank you so much! I love your edits btw! :D
It's also on "Peacock" if you have it!
I think it is also on Peackcock

Eep and Guy are literal Girlboss and Malewife in a nutshell
The girlboss and himbo pairing should live forever
@@adeleaslan8182 They show up in the "What is a girlboss and malewife" in the picture section
That dynamic "strong girl, smart guy" is pure serotonin
youre missing the point... Thats another gender rule
@@alejandrasanchez3022 No, it's a dynamic. Gender roles are saying that you NEED to be/do something BECAUSE you are this gender. A dynamic is a common portrayal of something like a duo where the two characters fall under specific categories.
I liked how Eep's father wasn't sad about her daughter leaving WITH a boy like a lot of portray the fathers, but he was being sad about his baby leaving 😭
I was sad for Eep's father at first but then I realized that eep and guy were just moving literally next door. lmao
@@cutieoui7772 same😂
I like that even though they had Grug be the one to be slow to adapt to new environments they still kept his growth from the first movie (which is related to him still being upset about Eep leaving but no longer being anxious about her leaving *with Guy*)
fr
When I first saw that part I saw the backpacking bags and thought they were going on an adventure too but then it's literally not even 100ft away 🤣
ive always loved how in the end of this movie, eep isnt portrayed as a dramatic teenaged girl, guy realizes he was wrong and apologizes
how does this have so many likes but no comments
I hate when movies make the right one out to be dramatic, guy tried to change her and she was rightfully upset so he apologised as he should have
No one ever seems to notice these things that bothered me (1st movie also guys this is just the first movie I absouloutley LOVED the 2nd one)
1. Y’all know the thing where its like pretty bad to call a girl dramatic? Well in croods the father says this: “Eep stop being so..dramatic!“
2. The bear (forgot the name) gets hurt or whatever by not listening to her FATHER not parents
3. Apparently Eep is so bad for dropping a rock on guy when guy LITERALLY HITS HER IN THE HEAD!
4. Eep could be this strong indepented not cinderellla type girl who dont need no man, well eep does need a man cause we learn she gets a crush when she first learns guy is a real person
Sorry this is a long comment but these are just some things I can think of right now that always made me feel weird or annoyed/bothered me
@@CharredinCharlie the first 2 points are portrayed to be flawed, so the film is showing them up not accepting them
@@livelaughlovetopher idk😭
I also love how eep still thinks and does normal teenage girl things, and is not a “I’m noT likE othEr giRls”. She’s just her own person, she’s, eep
YESSS, THISSSS, WOMEN CAN BE PHYSICALLY MASCULINE *AND* FEMININE (I have nothing wrong with masculine women or tomboys, but this trope can be so overused to the point of no return and very few pieces of media do it correctly)
@@soontobechannel743 as a tomboy i can confirm that media part
@@_ideatrash yeah, which is sad because I know plenty of tomboy girl characters that are fan favorites but this trope can be very overused and stereotyped to the point where it’s annoying and disliked by many
The hell is “normal girl things” outside of bleeding and growing body hair and fat in some places?
@@magnarcreed3801 bleeding, growing hair, and being fat are girl things??
Finding out grug was Nicolas Cage, then Emma Stone as Eep, THEN RYAN REYNOLDS AS GUY???? WHAT 😭
Fr I felt like each name was a slap in the face like how did I not notice??
Peter Dinklage as Mr Betterman ran me over like a truck tbh
And the song at end is from tenacious D 😂
Hey no wonder Grug has anger issues
that's a canon to me
If I had a nickel for every time Ryan Reynolds played as a character named “Guy”, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
he's just a guy
@@Envy_MayTHE guy
LOVE the doofensmirtz reference! 😂
now _this_ is the one that fucking got me
my thoughts exactly lmao
0:53 I also love that they didn't through in a stupid love triangle. It would have ruined the story for me.
It would’ve been such a cliche! I kept expecting Dawn and Eep to turn on each other but they never did 😌
oh yes. I love how they gave them this friendship instead.
@@msmilan_19 same
Wait does this mean that they pass the test thing
The one where two female characters can go without talking about a boy for like 5 minutes?
(I swear I'm not being sarcastic there is an actual test I just can't remember the name)

This is the resume that I needed to confirm that I'm a faaan of The Croods.
It took me a long time to admit too 😆
Fr🩷
I'm so glad that they didn't do the "irrational girl falls in love with a douche" cliché.
I also like how even though the men are damsels, they aren't stupid either which is a mistake most people make.
Damsel ≠ Dumb@$$
Agreed!
Men arent damsels lol, they are acting like a man can be, not just a woman has to be like that.
@@alejandrasanchez3022 oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know we were playing the literal literature game and that everyone would be on the same page as I was, but okay.

The way i didn't even notice all of this gender stereotypes because the movie was so good and the plot too this is how you do it
EXACTLY
They made it seems so normal which makes me appreciate the film even more. (Tbh this isn’t groundbreaking stuff, I mean I’m sure that plenty of films do the breaking gender norms trope but the croods 1 and 2 is an underrated film that doesn’t seem shallow and corporate like some other films)
no the 2nd croods is literally the worst movie ever
@@googleyoflolz9930 ratio
@@googleyoflolz9930 i wish i cared about your opinion but i don't
I’m so glad they didn’t make a jealously thing out of the two girls. Love that they became best friends instead!
Exactly! That's what I was so scared about
Yeah, At the beginning scene you can see the bettermans looking at Guy and the girl(I haven’t watched the movie). Did they try to get guy with her but she stayed a good friend with eep?
I fucking love it. I hate the portrayal of girls “being catty” and not getting along or always being competitive in the media. Like no, girls get along we are not like that. We are not “overdramatic”. And yeah, since girls are pretty much half of the population, no, we don’t ALL stick together, but we don’t all just hate each other either.
@@electronicmusicluvrryes, cause they realized the parents were the problem, not anyone else! They’re so wonderful
I recongnised the girl not being jealous and Oh my gosh I remember holding my breath but then being pleasantly surprised when they were really amicable its so refreshing
SAME. The way I held breath XD. I love the movie so much and this was one of the scenes that made me
LITERALLYYYYYYY
@@megadoodoo6511I feel the Torpe of the girl hating other girls being around her is yandere-like behavior
I like how Guy in the first movie isn't shamed for being much physically weaker and not a fighter. Instead he uses his smarts to help the others and in most cases that ends up being the solution to the situation instead of using brut force. Its refreshing to see a physically strong girl with a weak but very smart guy who both have their advantages and disadvantages.
its so nice to see that guy isnt stupid either. normally male characters who are weaker than their female partner will always be the silly goofball that does a ton of mistakes and the female partner has to solve them or save the male partner. im glad thats not really the case here
You mean Suki and Sokka from Avatar The Last Airbender???
Best part about the breaking of stereotypes is that it's very clearly not pandering. All of the women are still feminine in their own ways and all of the men are still masculine in their own ways. They're all different people that are unapologeticly themselves. It really feels like a time before society before gender roles and stereotypes ever emerged.
Right?! I totally agree.
I think the first movie also helps since the main crew, prior to the Bettermans, had their personalities established. No one went through a shift in personalities going into the second, everyone behaved pretty in character and the cast just bounced off of what the Bettermans were like.
It is before society🫥
“Did you hit him”
“No I thought about it”
That was actually pretty funny
You pointing it out made me appreciate the movie even more.
Only criticism being the female sloth being pink with darker fur around the eyes to resemble eyeshadow which was unnecessary
Yes I refused to acknowledge the weird sloths 😅
I think they made sash brighter so she'd better match dawn's outfit and personality, but eh who know
Plot twist, the pink sloth is male.
@@hineraableooooooooh
I feel like they did it specifically to be way over the top instead of actual stereotypes
i was genuinely so happy that dawn and eep were friends and they didn’t go for that two girls fighting over a guy thing
"You know, Amy, anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles, it ultimately undermines the concept of gender equality by implying that this is an exception and not the status quo"
Guy's It's a Sonic Boom Reference
Okay?
But you acknowledge that there is a status quo. And sadly the status quo is not gender equality especially for movies that tend to use gender cliches for cheap jokes. Better to praise the the exception and encourage others to do the same than to pretend it’s the status quo.
dawg what
Sonic Boom reference!
@@msmilan_19 this was not gender equality either tho just role reversal, what would have been equality would be portraying both men and women as strong and vulnerable at times
I heard that in shadows voice when I read it 😂

Croods were literally one of my favorite movies growing up! So glad the sequel did justice to all the things that made the first one so good! Eep’s parents are also one of the more healthy couples I have seen in the media.
just me that has always had the biggest crush on guy-?💀
Nope
Not at all
no-
Nope
Only when he had the collar and leash on
I’m glad they didn’t fall into the “couple established in first movie becomes almost torn apart by jealousy from new character” trope a lot of sequels love to do
Same! I like prefer when they develope the caracters more or if they go trough something at least give them time to solve it instead of dragging it out qnd solving it rushing-ly at the end
The ending when Eep said we were moving out and grug cried EVEN tho it was right beside their house just made the movie 10x better-
I love how the Better Mom in the second movie was a mirror image of Grug from the first movie. She was the most upset about "new" things and even said that she didn't like the Crood Family giving her daughter "ideas" about leaving the safety of the walls. Guy was the one giving Eep new ideas and now Eep is the one giving new ideas to Dawn.
I like how they showed that there is a difference between boys and girls, but its not courage or the need for adventure. THey still showed the compassionate side of women and how strong they are in that regard while also showing physical strength.I also liked how they didn't make the men weak or needy. They didn't need to tear men down to raise women up or visversa, they showed the beauty of both genders equally and truly
Showed a lovely variety of realistic and flawed characters.
Totally agree with this comment! I hate it when movies make men stupid (Ghostbusters with the women) so that women could look stronger or better
Equality
"it's in our nature" okay well EXPLAIN THIS 🤨
It’s in my nature to punch trees, bc I am gorilla
This is as primal as it gets dude.
What I meant by this was I find it annoying when people say that gender roles are "in our nature" and that going against it is "unnatural." This video shows the complete opposite of that, kind of like an "in your face" kind of thing to people who try to enforce gender roles
@@berrykoo812 gender roles being natural is really ignoring the fact that humans are less natural than you’d think, I really doubt men evolved specifically to work in an office.
@@berrykoo812You do know it's a movie right? Not a documentary.😮
I really like how everyone acts normally, cuz most times when a female character is boyish or strong they constantly need to reafirm "she is strong and not like other girls" also when a male character need help and they reafirm "he is weak and need to be strong" everyone is just who they are, and its fine.
I am literally so sick of sequels (for obvious reasons) but seeing this video made me so happy that this movie doesn't feel lifeless!
Wow, a good sequel, imagine that. :0
Came from Dreamworks themselves
@@yuri-sama.questionmark Yeh, idk what magic Dreamworls uses, but they sure can make sequels, that don't feel like pointless cashgrab
Idk me personally I felt kinda gross watching this movie, like it felt icky, but I never thought about it from this point of view. It’s refreshing
@@yuri-sama.questionmark That explains it. DreamWorks is the champion of sequels
oh wow it never crossed my mind the amount of stereotypes they break here 😭the movie was so good i was focused on what was goin on
(anyways guy being the pet is something i never thought i'd be into 😳)
i love this realization for you bestie go off
Welcome to the club 😈

This whole ‘franchise” helped me become the girl boss I am today 🤧
Slay, queen!
Nothing to be proud about that. Just be normal kind well mannered people. Both men and woman should be kind and gentle to each other. Only be aggressive and angry to people when it is needed. You are only hurting yourself if you try to act tough around people/partner. Look men don't want such woman who try to be tough even though they are weak and nor do woman want weak men or aggressive men. Just be normal good people. Naturally women want men who are stronger and taller which make the man more dominant in a relationship and normal woman have no problem with it unless the man abuse his power instead of being a gentle strong person who can control his emotions. A abusive person will always be abusive wheather you try to act tough or not.
@fayizat8930 "Just be normal, kind, well mannered people." "Women like very masculine men."
Ummmm....Which one is it then? Because you just simultaneously said something that made sense (be kind, polite, etc) and something that just completely reinforced stereotypes ("all women want alpha males"). Not every woman is the same, just like not every man is the same; some women prefer "weak men" and some men enjoy "girlboss" women.
Anyway, this is a funny video about a Cartoon film, and if that bothers you so much, why not just... Oh I don't know... go outside and touch some grass?
@@Fareeh.OOGA BOOGA GRRR 😡🦧🦍
@@Fareeh.people should be proud of themselves always when they learn and grow.
4:25 I love how they also made it more of an emotional damage fight than a fist fight.
Eep and Guy are honestly couple goals for me
They cute af, I like the way they portray them
Yessss🧡🧡🧡🧡
The men can't punch themselves out of trouble? Yes, that is refreshing, also the double meaning of them resorting to communication instead - through punching - is a nice touch 👌🏼 😂
Honestly, I’m just happy Grug doesn’t go down the route of “selfish, cruel/abusive, or idiotic father” character that a lot of movies and shows like to portray dads.
He’s cautious around anything new and stubborn, as he should be in a hostile world, because he puts his family first. That’s what a good dad is.
Actually I think DreamWorks does it with most of their parents
Damn Orange Head Is Straight Up Killing That Look
Orange head 😭
No way you just called the Queen, Eep, orange head 😭 HER NAME ISN’T EVEN THAT HARD TO REMEMBER, ITS LITERALLY JUST CAVEMAN NOISES 😔

@@CouldntThinkOfaGoodUsername *monkey sounds*
ORANGE HEAD I CAN'T- 💀
I really appreciate both the first movie and the second movie having more female than male characters (even if in the first one it was just by 1), yet never being marketed as "girl movies". It's annoyingly rare.
And I was literally so happy when there wasn't a weird love trianlg in the 2nd one. I was so sure that they'd do it as soon as dawn was introduced. Because that's what always happens.
4:48 I was a combination of Eep and Dawn right here
The most realistic part of the movie is Eep and Dawn IMMEDIATELY bonding over dangerous things and being extra unhinged
5:30 Had me wheezing 😭
The Betterman girl and Eep literally having a “girl moment” where their voices got higher cus they were excited is everything- ❤
I forgot Nick cage voiced in it idk why thats so funny to me
I've always unapologetically loved the Croods, and I'm glad to see the movies are getting good attention like this. In this movie, the part where the dads fight and realize that words can be used as weapons, they hurt just as much as fists, that was such an effective way to explain the effect and importance of words to kids. Like it couldn't be made more obvious, and I think that also adds a lot of value to an animated movie, when they can teach little kiddies lessons like these, and make bigger kids cry over daddy issues 😂😂
my bf introduced me to this movie and I will forever love it. So good. insane voice casting
"All the men being damsels"
Meanwhile, Thug: is obsessed with a square and turns philosophical after
i love the lack of drama in these two movies and how it breaks a lot of general stereotypes movies use, my two favs
I actually really like that thunk went into the battle too, considering it shows that even the ‘punching bag dumb teenage boy’ trope still puts up a fight to save his father and friends
He’s actually 9 lmao
If this movie came out today someone would go on a rant about how all movies are woke and they want to immaculate men 💀 I’m glad I don’t need to see a debate so brainrot stupid
They already had such a debate when the movie came out.
@@EmptyMan000 thank god I missed that
@@EmptyMan000 I believe in traditional gender roles but God seriously they can’t let a MOVIE go, no women are not damsels in distress constantly and men aren’t immaculate godly beings tf 💀💀💀
@@EmptyMan000 Seriously?? Good lord, the men were still masculine too! And the women were feminine. Why is it not masculine to have emotions or feminine to be strong?
That's what thing I like about Encanto is that Luisa is strong (typically masculine) yet they still gave her her femininity. Because you can have both
If it came out today under certain directors, the men would be bumbling idiots and the women would whine about how they hate being women.
3:56 Ugga could've run but she decided to rolled
tbh, i think this is real life truth. when men said they think rationally while women think with emotion, in reality women are usually the more resourceful and practical with the mundane home lives, whereas men has too many "honor" or "norms" that makes them super complicated. I think we really are live in a world crafted by men.
5:03 I. DIED.
My little brother (he's going into kindergarten) is obsessed with these movies, and that is honestly refreshing. I hope he remembers the themes from these movies as he gets older.
2:45
"Did you hit him? 🤨"
"No...😒 I thought about. it"
That made me laugh so hard for some reason 😭
*sooo, we’re just gonna ignore how grug broke the 4th wall at **2:51** ? okay, cool.*
They really crushed both movies, I havent even seen the second one yet but now I gotta watch it. So hilarious!
I've always loved the Croods, and this just made me appreciate it more
Eep was always one of my favorites, she was strong and independent, something that I had aspired to be as a kid. They never forced it either, like, Eep being the only girl who is strong and weird, or Eep trying to change herself to be like everyone else. She's simply herself, and doesn't need to explain herself to anyone, which inspired me as a kid :)
I must admit that I have some mixed feelings about this movie as a sequel (the continuity errors is a huge pet peeve of mine) but this video has definitely made me see it in a new light. What I really find fascinating is that the lack of gender-norms is so naturally incorporated into the story that I for one didn’t actually think about it until you pointed it out. And that is what we want, for these behaviors to be normalized and not sensationalized.
3:34 “it's not just punch monkeys. i-it-it's kick monkeys, headbutt monkeys, low-blow monkeys, ab-tight monkeys, bite monkeys, shoulders that punch, tails that crunch, deranged stranglers, strange danglers, snake manglers, mouth breathers, brain squeezers, and a dude. with. weird eyes...”

As weird as it sounds, we need to see men crying in movies more. We don't normalize that enough.

The fact it needed to be pointed out goes to show how natural and perfect it all is

Croods 2 being literally one of the best movies of that year. Stole the show in a way NO ONE expected. My family watched it together and it started with only 1 person interested and 2 being to lazy to get up to a room full of people, some on the floor
i love guy so much i thought this movie was long forgotten but stop 0:10 he is so cute i love this man
The best positive female empowerment are the subtle ones. I didn’t even pay too much attention to the details until this video. That’s when you know it’s good.
Literally one of my favorite parts of this movie is that Eep and Dawn didn't get jealous over each other. I LOVED THEIR FRIENDSHIP SO MUCH
I never notice Dawn's reaction in 4:51 She Is smiling so hard LMAO
Men and women does not have a "role". Just be who you want to be and EVERYONE is different.

You do not understand how much this video means to me, thank you so much for making this 😭
4:54 Man, I didn’t know Fireheart was apart of this.
After you pointed all that out… I think I remember why my dad hated this movie tbh (he’s homophobic + a little bit misogynistic).
But boi, watching this brought the genderfluid-ness out of me. I wanna be strong girl like Dawn (not like Eep tho? maybe cause Dawn looks less stereotypical “tomboy” then Eep) and soft boy like Guy.

The Thunder Sisters bit was such a whiplash tho, at least when I first watched the movie
I never fully realized this before. They just play it off so naturally, especially staying within character for the characters

Guy was so babygirl, literally iconic
Am I the only one that kept expecting Dawn and Eep to kiss? Like I may be projecting, but they had some tension for sure- (eep and guy are honestly my ride or die tho, so go find someone else Dawn)
I know no movie will ever give this kind of rep but if they did do that, it would've been cool to see the three of them together maybe :00 bc i def agree on the tension thing
*gasp* yess
They had A LOT of close moments lol
If Guy didn't exist in the first place, Dawn would be the next best person for Eep to get with for sure
