@user-bw6iq7dd8l what do you mean? They only overwhelmingly voted for policies that got men to start using their bathrooms and beating them in sports and taking over their protected spaces, while now targeting children with sexualized content, along with releasing prisoners from jails and opening the borders to help those innocent coyotes with enslaved women in tow... theyd never be the direct issue with our current societal degeneration...
I remember movie reviewers clutching their pearls when James Bond had a scene where he shot a woman. They said it is unseen cruelty to women and it supports harmful behavior and whatever. Well, she was a villain who just murdered a man and tortured Bond while at the same time had her henchman nuke a city of 15 million people.
Even back in the day of good ol' sexist hollywood, women were rarely hit unduly. Unless it is a horror, war, or kung fu movie, woman get it easy. Captured and pushed around yes, but Elsa Snyder in The Last Crusade for example I don't remember getting hit once while the Indiana and his dad get punched many times. I guess unless she is a front line soldier the enemies wouldn't stoop so low as to hit a woman.
It's odd that these strong female characters are explicitly created to take over not only male roles, but male characteristics. Yet the characteristics they seem obsessed with are *negative* characteristics. Uncouth vulgarity, brute force, high-handed arrogance, haughty indifference and more - none of these are characteristics that anyone admires in a man, yet the girl bosses consider it a proud accomplishment to slather them over themselves. They end up as schizophrenic mutants - hating men, yet aping the thing they hate and even pushing their way to caricature. Somehow this is all supposed to be OK because it's (technically) a woman who's doing it.
The reality is than the "male toxic behaviors" are what they really like, a lot of those women don't care about really good men and want an abusive one.
I've noticed that as a kid they picked the thieves and drug dealers not the hard workers their favorite book fifty shades of grey is about a grapist and then complain
As a woman, THANK YOU! I am sick of the double standards, and sick of the poor writing, terrible plots, and absent character development of these supposedly "strong" female characters.
It shouldn't have to matter if you're a woman. Your opinion should be equally as valid no matter who you are. That's the sad part about the modern world. You shouldn't have to specify. People shouldn't need to care. I'm not complaining at you, I'm I'm complaining about society.
@@skylanderlego4163oh we know,appreciate you,but since we're women we want to say that feminists claiming people don't like those characters are all "toxic men" is retarded. It's like feminists demand us to think like them,and I for one absolutely REFUSE to.
@skylanderlego4163 I'd like to agree, but... It does matter. Men's pinion don't matter in today's society, obviously. In fact, men are BLAMED for things failing. If men's opinions mattered, these horrible anti-male shows and movies wouldn't keep being made. They'd have been canceled into the ground. No, it's going to take women making a stand to get anything done. Only women's opinions matters, so they need to voice their opinions, and we must HOPE they'll agree with OP.
I worked a lot of comedy shows as security. Almost no women ever got through an act without mentioning their periods, even the funny ones. But ESPECIALLY the unfunny ones.
Really? That's lame. ...Then again, I probably couldn't get through without mentioning my tits and ass. Probably because it's my equivalent of a fat guy making fun of himself for being fat: EVERYONE sees it, and if you're going to make fun of yourself, the most obvious thing comes to mind, first. XD
I'm a big comedy fan myself and I'm 38. I've seen hundreds of stand up specials and comedy central used to pump them out on TV all day. Your 100% right!! It was ALWAYS brought up. It's sad these women can't come up with their own material honestly. These days I recommend Stavros Halkis, and ofcourse, Shane Gillis
Same thing happens in my country, I think I’ve come to understand why; comedy comes through pain and suffering. Think about it, male comedians make jokes out of their life threatening experiences, their obesity, their abusive childhood, the assaults on them, their divorces, their (either current or previous) poverty, generally making light of otherwise terrible things. Either that or it’s observations about the world. Since men are treated like garbage from the get go until they prove otherwise, we gain a lot of funny experiences. Many successful comedians have incredibly dark histories. Most women, no matter how much they like to pretend otherwise, don’t really face struggle and hardship on the same level, and the ones who do, are completely unable to make light of those situations. It’s why every female comedian will make jokes about periods, it’s the most hurtful and traumatic thing they go through, and why they always go “men bad”, or “bad patriarchy”. In the absence of actual problems, they need to make them up.
The "Slave Leia" scene isn't degrading. It's empowering. Granted, Carrie Fisher felt uncomfortable wearing it but she didn't reject it. Jabba makes Leia wear the outfit in order to humiliate her and break her will in hopes that she will accept her new life as his new favorite trophy. But Leia is cunning. She pretends to be passive and hurt by this treatment when in reality her resolve is as strong as it ever was and she waits patiently for an opportunity to strike at her captor. And when she does, she kills him with very chain he enslaved her with. Leia doesn't get more empowering than that. True, the scene was also used to show off Carrie Fisher's beautiful body, but the movie never turns her into an object. If anything, Leia resists becoming an object. Hollywood needs to stop being afraid of showing some skin.
That scene was always stupid though, and while not as bad as modern wokeness it never made sense even in context. I don't care how much of a girlbossing spaceprincess you are, you're not overpowering a several ton spacesnail. I never really had a problem with the scene, but it's not a good one. It just kinda happens and that's that, whatever. Also, "kills him with the very chain he enslaved her with" is the kind of painfully on the nose crap that a woke millennial thinks is deep. I'm sorry, but it's so bad.
@@schnek8927 Yes it is a good scene. It's well directed, well acted and well written. Your complaint is pretentious as hell. I mean, are you seriously complaining about the fact that she killed a slug? You do realize this is fantasy, right? And I never said it was deep, the point is that it's poetic.
You're joking, right? Look at Jabba. There is NOTHING physically threatening about him. He's evil, but he's only dangerous as long as he has guards around him. Seems like the easiest sci to creature to kill if you're willing to be direct about it.
It's very generous expecting from Twitter/tiktok "folks" ability to detect nuances and subtle messages.

As a female, I detest this whole “girl boss” bullshit. You have perfectly described everything wrong with hollywoods portrayal of female roles and the double standards against men. Another great video and I’ve loved watching your channel grow!
The sad thing is that if you look back, we had movies such as Terminator 2 in the action genre and the Ring in the horror, whereas everything about the female protagonist made sense and held you at the edge of your seat rooting for them.. It just wasn't forced.
Me, a woman: Hey Hollywood can we get female characters who aren't arseholes or Mary-sues and who suceed because they are capable rather than because everyone around them are incompetent? Hollywood: Lol no

Isn’t it funny that the actress is about 5 years older than Blanchett was in her first appearance as Galadriel, but is supposed to be the younger version? Acting like a girl throwing a temper tantrum, while Blanchett almost appeared as something of otherworldly wisdom and nuance. Good times.
Never finished the show, had no idea she turned into a disrespectful, racially motivated, genocidal maniac with a revenge boner and an disposition so distasteful a volcano avoided her.
It doesn't help that one of the unwritten rules of the woke code (the modern Hays Code) is that a woman can have no flaws and, therefore no character development/arc.
@@radagast7200 Never, EVER, hold up Joss Whedon as an example of good writing. EVER. He was an untalented hack who wrote every character like a spoiled teenage girl on her period, plus he was a "male feminist" who used that shield to abuse women. He, and his writing, is totally devoid of any merit or worth whatsoever.
Protagonist based morality. What the "good guy" does is always right. We know it's the good guy because I--the writer--say so. If it weren't for the lack of self-awareness of the untalented screenwriters and actors, I'd wonder if they were subversive misogynists.
well protaginist based morality isnt new, the second jurassic park movie from 1997 has the 'good guys' cause alot of damage, but its oke, they are the 'good guys'
That is the number one trait of the Mary Sue. Despite the "OC Do Not Steal" nature of their designs, so as long as the world revolves around the character, it is a Mary Sue. This was regarded as a writing blunder that several blogs had a section dedicated to avoid writing such character, but now it's the gold standard of writing female characters. The main difference is that the self-inserts in fan fiction had the male character of choice faun over the Mary Sue, while modern-day, feminist Mary Sue can't have a man at all.

My gf got me into the show Suits . The main male characters were smart , charismatic , and masculine . I immediately knew the first season was pre strong female characters everywhere era . Sad that you can immediately know when a show was created because men were allowed to be men .
Funny thing is at the later seasons it goes full GIRLBOSS. Ironically, the character of Megan Markle is just as insufferable. She constantly rejects Mike, but when he finally moves on and starts dating another woman, she charges to his place and is “traumatized” by finding not his boyfriend in bed with his actual girlfriend, and then uses that fact as leverage against him for the rest of the show. Even worst, she cheats on him with another guy (that was married and was having an affair with), and then uses AGAIN the previous fact as leverage for him to forgive her.
@@felipemontero1087 Jesus fucking christ, this sounds like the strategy Meg must have used to get Harry as her new pet. Goddamn, I'm almost glad that I stopped watching after the first season cause "problem of the week" type shows aren't exactly my thing, cause I absolutely despise shit like this. And it's just so funny how they actually get Mike to forgive her for some bullshit like this, even some of the most absolutely CUCKED white knights I have ever seen in my life would never even think of doing that, JFC, it's like media is becoming a sort of psyop to actually make men a caricature of incel theory beta males, which is funny considering how much modern media rages against incels (while simultaneously demonizing the male sex drive).
Was a great era and itl never come back, around 2015 the agenda/propaganda/ subversion reached full infiltration, thank God for older shows and yeah I just watch like Burn Notice and Psych, the Following was pretty good actually, even like Smallville was a good show before all the superhero shows to became full of "social justice" feminist aka femibolshevick/LGBTQRS bs/nonsense.
The James Bond script idea at the end had me dying. “Do you want it shaken or stirred?” “I want it now.” It is sad that I could see that being an actual line of dialogue.
I wish we had more female villains honestly. Specifically the Pure evil/unredeemable variety. They almost always portray women as the Hero's nowadays. It gets boring quickly. If they really wanted more representation then why don't they have more female villains? The answer: Because they are hypocrites. I also would like more masculine men to be shown as Hero's and not incompetent idiots.

The saddest part is that not only modern Hollywood is destroying male characters, but it is also depriving us of truly strong, believable, likable female characters. Ellen Ripley is one of my favorite protagonists (overall, not just among females) and she was literally a girl boss! The fact that she wasn't irrational, arrogant, condescending, or incompetent, made her likable and believable. Now imagine a modern-day version of Alien; The entire crew should be demoted to laughable dimwits so that the strong female character can stand out. Oh, and also she has to be perfect and flawless in every way. Remember when heroic female moments in movies gave you "goosebumps" instead of "cringe"? like when Éowyn removed her helmet and said "I am no man." (hell I'm getting goosebumps right now!) Nowadays It's like your hero saying: "If I have seen further, it is not by standing on the shoulders of Giants; It is because I raided a village of midgets, took their eyes out, and decapitated them." and expecting the audience to root for her.
BOOOOO, naming Ripley/Connor is generic surface level references!! Mention some women from Korean indy films - YMS comment section response to Critical Drinker
@@dazgordon-hill2660 😅 I haven't watched many Korean movies, but those two girls from "The Handmaiden" were awesome. and hot. Also that North Korean chick from squid games was pretty badass. and hot too. And my mom used to watch a Korean TV series called "Jewel in the Palace" (I had to google the name because I remember everyone calling it Yangum here in Iran) which was super famous here and everybody loved her. That compound bow lady from "The Host" and that little girl saving the little boy from the monster were also both strong, likable characters. Although I don't know if any one of these movies and series are independent :) But in all seriousness, I fucking love Korean movies, with Oldboy being one of my favorite movies. Fun fact; I watched Oldboy because of Adam's review.
It's not just Hollywood. It is all over the world. As a Czech I see it in our modern movies as well. Since the 1920s, there were actually incredibly strong female characters and role models - from little girls all the way to old ladies. I would say in most movies, there was at least one woman who was the voice of reason who either resolved the plot or strongly helped to do so. And if a woman got into trouble, she could handle it.Example is this 30 second scene from a 50s comedy where a girl is smuggling food to a prisoner while she encounters a guard who slaps her butt th-cam.com/video/qFpp3Nl_UxE/w-d-xo.html Today, probably since the mid 00s, there are no such characters. Women in the movies are weak, obnoxious, boring and even though they are supposedly main characters, they contribute nothing to the plot. Which makes most movies unwatchable.
@@petrmaly9087 Wow! What a powerful scene! That's an ass slap that I can believe and condemn :) Now compare it to the slap in Barbie. In Barbie, they were in a public place in the modern-day US, in front of hundreds of eyes, she was with a companion (a jacked one), and the guy slapped her anyway. It was so bizarrely unrealistic and unbelievable that you couldn't root for the protagonist, even though she was subject to sexual harassment. It's mind-boggling how they are alienating the audience. At this point, it's like a psyops conspiracy by some misogynists who are actively trying to make people hate women. Let me give you an example; When I was a kid (around y.2000), they used to air "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" TV series here in Iran, and it was a massive hit. Everybody loved it. I cannot stress how bizarre that is. An Islamic country with an extremely patriarchal society and conservative values, loved a show about an American woman and her struggles. Nobody thought it was forced, unrealistic, toxic, or that it was pushing an agenda. How do you go from capturing the hearts and minds of people from all around the world to creating monstrosities like She-hulk and Velma that even your own culture despises?
@@MassoodTavakkoli I remember Dr. Quinn, my mother, who is a doctor, used to watch it. I only recall couple of scenes, but it was seriously supporting issues like voting rights for women, it painted black people in a very good light... Interesting it aired in Iran. I assume they allowed it as it was a depiction of a society a long time ago. The slap scene I linked is one of many where the actress excels, she was a famous since the early 30s to the mid 80s (Natasa Gollova, interestingly enough, she has a wiki page in Persian as well) in that very movie, you can see the actors and actresses are not holding back when it comes to stunts including slaps. They took their work seriously. And even though she was an actress, she didn't live as part of the secluded elite, after the war, she volunteered as a nurse in an internment camp (former concentration camp) and survived through a typhoid epidemic. What is more important - this movie was a hardcore eastern bloc communist party propaganda that ends in a crowd of people singing "when we all give everything to everyone then we will all have everything together." Even such a propaganda movie was created in a way you appreciate the craft and the skill that went into it.
Jeez I wouldn't speak so disrespectfully to my Dad (or mom) even as an actual adult let alone child. She lost her Dad for 5 years then he helped saved the world and she still has the balls to be mouthy like that?
Not just the first two movies but in End game too, that schene when she sees her dad again after he disapeared for years was short but beautiful, it makes no sense that the teary eyed girl we saw on that movie turned into this harpie.
Poor Fin, got cheated out of what would have been one of the most legendary acts of heroism in all of Star Wars canon, by an awkward and unlikable character who wanted to steal a kiss because she was crushing on him...the selfishness of her actions is indescribable!
Women characters in Disney movies are afraid of others ability to sacrifice their lives. It's because of severe jealousy that someone is capable and actually virtuous. They also want to prolong current issue at hand because they need reason to be useful
I am always happy when Starship Troopers gets any praise. You're spot on with your example. Furthermore: The romantic couples in this movie lack any meaningful connection. These relationships are shallow, narcissistic and purely physical. The gruesome death of your "loved" one is just an event which is forgotten in the next scene. Perfect representation of GenZ's approach to "love".
@@lakshaykochhar6799this! I'm a young Gen Z boy and I gotta say, it's more of a cultural than a generational thing. Even then, I'm not satisfied with how millennials write our approach to "love". It needs to feel more natural, like a years- or decades-long relationship, not a one-time encounter bc that'd feel unrealistic imo
I think the worst thing about the whole thing is that, on the one hand, they are trying to preach equality, but on the other, they are clearly biased towards women and expect us to do the same. I think the best examples of that are any cases of violence shown in those movies or shows. If a man hit a woman, there would be outrage that the movie promotes violence. But if it's other way, Then it's perfectly fine because violence towards men is perfectly fine and funny. Imagine if, in Peter Pan, the boy hit a girl. Or in Velma, it would be a female officer who is getting kicked by a guy. Twitter and SJWs would be furious. PS. The whole video fills me with so much anger that I can't even watch it all. The hypocrisy of those people is just disgusting. I genuinly hope that the Hollywood will fall and they will be finally forced to create good movies instead of feeding people with those shitty, agenda pushing movies...
Nah, they don't talk about "equality" anymore. They know it's BS as much as we do. Now it's "equity." In other words: Women are an oppressed class. Enslaved and tortured for the amusement of men. So when a woman punches a man in the balls, calls him a slur, and steals his money on the way out, she's just "punching up" (as they like to say) at her oppressor. It's just like the Rebellion attacking the Death Star! Except that none of that is true, and it's more like the woman in that hypothetical is the Death Star destroying Alderaan. If the man fought back after being assaulted he would be put in jail and lose his job, while the woman would be praised for... something, something, girlboss, or whatever. I'm okay with the idea of balancing the scales where it's needed, but most of the time, "equity" seems to take the form of revenge against innocent people for being born into a particular demographic. And all in the name of righting an imagined injustice that we all just agree exists without evidence. Frustrating!
@@DespotofAntrim Terrific analysis, you should really speak out against Anime and Manga, Japanese media is also plagued by these horrible double standards.
The thing is that while on one level they've put women on a pedestal (untouchable, all-powerful, infallible) and treat me like yesterday's garbage, in reality they're destroying both of us. They decided that the way to write good female characters was to take the most over the top hyper-aggressive masculine tropes of the 80s and 90s action movies and copy/paste them onto women without an attempt to give them flaws, actual struggles, relationships - anything. There's loads of masterfully written examples of strong female and male characters out there (I mentioned this elsewhere but Aragorn in LOTR and Vi in Arcane are two great examples), but these assholes are just too lazy, incompetent or untalented to ever write fully-fleshed out people who learn and grow and have flaws. No more than the black Cleopatra BS, it does a disservice to both sides when they serve up this swill and try to tell us it's quality. Edit: autoincorrect. Didn't articulate this as well as I'd like but hope it makes sense.
0:43 For about the last 10 years or so, this has been the trend in comics. Writers these days think the villains are the good guys because they identify with the villains. Anyone with virtuous characteristics or a desire to be good, is the bad guy to them, especially because that person isn't perfect. The whole dichotomy has been flipped on its head. They don't want to admit they are flawed and see these virtuous archetypes that they wont live up to, but should strive to, "mocking them." If the villain is the hero, well these writers don't seem so bad. They are at least as good as these "new hero." Not to mention, a lot of villains are just people who feel they have been slighted and using that to justify selfish behavior. Very common theme these days in society with a great many "groups."
A trend I don't see many people bring up is that Strong Female Characters almost always are STEM girls. Implying to girls that the only way to be respected, taken seriously, and be intelligent is to be into STEM. I'm an intelligent woman and I fucking hate science lmao, I'm a language/history person. But I often feel like I'm not doing enough because I'm not forcing myself to get into a higher paying STEM career because that's what jobs intelligent women "should" be doing (according to The Message). And nearly all of these insufferable "strong" female characters aren't just STEM girls, they're usually some sort of engineering or physics geniuses. You know, jobs almost completely dominated by males. God forbid a woman wants to degrade herself by becoming a nurse, or pharmacist, or teacher.
STEM is good but I'll just say this to you, there is something for everyone to make themselves unique, maybe STEM isn't for you and that's oky, cause we are all different.
I WILL NEVER GET TIRED of you talking about "Guyladriel" killing "Robert Paulsen"! Tears from uncontrollable laughter everytime you reference it, man!😂😂😂 Thanks for the gift that keeps on giving.
Surprised you didn't make a comparison between the spinster aunt and Watto. Watto is basically a male version of her and he's rightfully seen as a crook.
Its the same in music A female artist sings about how her ex was a toxic, abusive, manipulative douche who had a small penis and drove a shitty car. Meanwhile a male artist sings about how he wishes he could fix things with his ex and get back together and how everything was his fault.
Remember jabbas right hand man who took the thrown after jabbas died? And how he got really fat apparently before boba killed him. He still wasn't nearly half the size of lizzo the hutt
I'm a huge wrestling fan and this kind of crap is even going on in the WWE. Right now it is absolutely fine for any of the female wrestlers to attack the men and the men aren't allowed to do jackshit about it. This wasn't the case back in the 90's or 2000's, I'm not even sure when it started happening but it's such bullshit. I think it sends out such an awful message especially considering a lot of kids watch wrestling that it's fine for women to hit men and men are just powerless to do anything about it. I mean in a fucked up way that's pretty true, in real life a woman could be beating a man up for an hour straight but if he retaliates once he's the bad guy now.
The worst was Stephanie McMahon during The Authority angle. Not only could the men not hit her, they weren't even allowed to come out on top in verbal exchanges. You can't have a heel authority figure who *never* gets any comeuppance. That's just basic booking.
@@BiggieTrismegistus heels not getting comeuppance is basically how the WWE operates now because of all these long title reigns, it's one of the reasons I'm considering not watching anymore because pay offs are so far a few between these days. Take Roman for example, yeah he got pinned a couple months ago but he's still the champion, he barely ever defends and when he does it's just the exact same match we've been watching for 3 years now. I've kind of lost interest in the whole bloodline thing. They've propped this man up so high and he's barely ever on the show. Last year after Drew lost people said it'll be Sami, then Sami lost and people said it'll be Cody, then Cody lost now they're saying let it play out. With 8 months till Wrestlemania I'm just not interested.
The double standards that show up in modern films and TV shows are so disgusting. People are already starting to point out and see it. I hope that a reflection of the movie's profits reflect on their wallets and they realize that having a reflection of bullshit won't work in good writing.
Add to the list of gender-swaps in the MCU, not just tokenized replacement but actual gender-swaps of established characters include: Ancient One, Mar-Vell, Taskmaster, Karl Morgenthau, Scarlet Scarab, Ghost, Ajak, Sprite, and Makkari. You also have female Loki.
Okay at least with those they weren't in the source material so I get the criticism but honestly who cares if there's a female or male version of x superhero. As long as they're written well and go through trials and tribulations then it's fine, and hell if they want to say something progressive about contemporary political issues then that's fine as well so long as its subtle and executed well.
@@toweypat agreed, I have nothing against women, LGBTQ+ or minorities, on the contrary, I respect them all (personally, I'm a moderate, but if any situation gets out of hand, I might resort, at least temporarily, to extremism), but I think far-left woke moralists take things too far and are even enacting regressive instead of progressive policies (some of their talking points, which are nonsense, are: don't marry, don't reproduce, don't have children, don't work hard, if you dare criticize us, you're a fascist, don't return to or preserve your country's traditions bc that = fascism, etc). That's the way they act. Worse yet, they always do it. This culture war BS is nonsense btw
The worst part of the cave troll scene is the blood flicking onto the camera impling the cameraman is in the scene recording it all. totally takes you out of the scene. Doesnt happen anywhere else in the series.

I introduced Dr Who to my little sister and she absolutely loved it at the time. She watched every single episode .. until the female dr came. She tried watching it but then one day just came up to me and said "do you still watch the dr?" and I told her I hadn't followed the show for a while. And she said, the new one is so boring and the episodes are so bad now. We never mentioned why but both knew why. She stopped watching Dr Who .. it was her favorite show for a while.
Oh I bet she's gonna love the new season where the dr is a black homosexual. Imagine the content around blackness and buttfucking. What inspiring stories we may expect.

Naaah she didn’t. She wanted asgardian help to beat her cancer, then the Hammer helped her to battle it a little longer, but then she switched and tried to one up Thor on every corner, even proclaiming her name now is Mighty Thor, in the cringiest scene I’ve seen in a long time
@@felipemontero1087 yeah but isn't that kinda a selfish reason to want the power of Thor? It's not to help others it's cuz I wanna live. I'm not a huge comic book guy but I know a little about mythology, the idea is "whoever holds the hammer if they're worthy, they'll have the power of Thor" I'm paraphrasing, I saw the movie and it seems like being selfish would be a trait that would exclude you from wielding the hammer. I could be remembering the movie incorrectly, not sure.
@@richardsanchez5444 well the point of the video is the double standard. Thor had to be willing to sacrifice himself for others to be worthy, but Portperson could be selfish, arrogant, petty and vindictive, but is ok cause she’s a woman. And the worthy to wield the hammer was invented for the comics. In the original mitologhy the hammer was just so damn heavy and powerful only the strongest beings could even lift it, let alone use it, like Thor, Odin, Loki and some giants.
@@felipemontero1087 yeah I figured it followed with the theme of the video, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misremembering it and she was in fact being selfish. Yeah the whole worthy thing was put in more for cinematic reasons.
Bo-Katan could have been a good villain for The Mandalorian season 3 but since she's a woman Disney/Lucasfilm wouldn't let that happen. Instead they made her the protagonist in Din Djarin's own show.
The need to show how strong women are at the expense of male characters just shows how weak women really are. I never noticed the extent of their weakness until all of this.
How to make a horrible protagonist: • Never defeated • Never saved • No character arc or growth • Absolutely perfect, it’s everyone else’s fault for their problems • Don’t need no “______” personality It’s not JUST women that could be presented as this, it’s just unfortunately the case that 50 year old half-senile wine moms are suddenly the best writers in existence because they check a diversity box.
Women aren't weak, they are just making it look that way by trying to make them succeed as men. Even physically speaking, you ever tried to scrub and wring and hang out to dry big tubs of laundry by hand all day? Churned butter by hand? Women used to do that, a "weak" person can't lift a tub of water onto a stove or hang a soaking blanket up to dry, carry baskets of wet laundry. Not being as powerful as a man doesn't make you "weak". And there is always childbirth. On the men's side, how many Americans alive today do you think could swing a sythe in 100° sun cutting grass or oats for 14 or 16 hours a day, day after day, in long sleeves and long underwear. I have tried it and it's exhausting after half an hour. Amazing what a motivation the prospect is starvation can be.

I never understood Jane Foster calling herself Thor when she gets his powers. Thor isn't an alias, like Spider-Man or Batman or Wolverine. It's his actual name, Thor Odinson. Makes no sense...
At first I chuckled at your idea for a more "modern" Bond, but after a few minutes shivers started going down my spine and a feeling of existencial dread set in. As the scenes played out in my imagination, I slowly realized that this is something that could totally happen in the future. And that I wouldn't even be surprised.
Im a woman, thank you for making this. Im tired of the girlboss being the only way women can be, according to Hollywood. Modern feminism is SO wrong and twisted. Im tired of the male bashing

3:10 Its more than her losing because she's a small woman, but because they are inexperienced against their trained drill seargent. There was another big, strong guy, as I remember who gets his arm broken. (Though I could be remembering the book, I'm pretty sure it happened in both.)
He shows that part. That was my thought as well, although I think he has a point that she would have to be a _very_ exceptional fighter to beat the larger guy even if she wasn't untrained. And he is probably a very well trained fighter. Size really matters in a fight. A smaller person can beat a larger one if they have better training, but with anything like equality of skill the larger person will win every time. They can hit harder, reach farther, block better, use their weight against the opponent. There is a very real reason they have weight classes in boxing and other martial arts.
That this has affected literature slightly less than it has film is somewhat telling, because it's easier to watch than to read, but I've noticed it there as well. I use the Hugo and Nebula award winning titles to find great authors and series, and I think that what makes a great Science Fiction story is that it explores and plays with the outcome of an idea or concept. The female characters from books from the 50s through the 80s were much more comfortable with their sexuality and capabilities. It seems like around the 90s, they feel less like fleshed out characters. Through the 2000s to the present-day, they're even less fleshed out. I think that it's almost defensive, we don't want to honestly explore the outcome of removing Women's protected status, having them compete on equal footing in society, and having them progressively push back the forming of meaningful relationships. It's progressively more taboo to honestly explore this. It's unfortunate that I prefer Female characters written before "empowerment" really gained steam.
There are a number of writers' blogs I follow who are of the opinion that the current generation of Hugos tends to represent a fairly shallow pool of Sci Fi content, due to a long-running bias towards in-group preference and ideological conformity
When I read fiction, it’s usually not modern (meaning, 20th century or after), so I ask with genuine interest: Do you reckon this shift in female characterization is because “woman” as gradually assumed a characterization unto itself (i.e., being a woman implicitly entails certain traits that remain unquestioned and unquestionable), or because authors are simply afraid or unable to explore meaningfully female characterizations? Or maybe a combination of both? Maybe something else?
@@the_absurd_hero I'd lean more toward the awarding committees are less interested in compelling fiction and more interested in reinforcing their own experiences and opinions. There are still good female characters written of course, but it's jarring comparing contemporary characters in the Hugo and Nebula award winners to many in the past.
If that's what counts for empowerment then that's just tragic because all it reads as is treating women like kids who always need to morally good one dimensional characters because we can't possibly have women characters be as fleshed out as their males counterparts because apparently its sexist which doesn't make any sense.
I remembered as you mentioned Alien and Ripley, the first time I watched it, I rented it as a VHS tape. I knew nothing about it, only the plot from the back of it, and the picture on the front. I thought to myself "oh what a cute guy, I'll watch this", because it never said anything about who was men and women on the tape. So I watched it and I remember thinking at the end of the movie "hey...what happened to that cute dude in the picture" only to realize that it never was one it was Ripley on the cover, but because the movie was so good, so well written characters it didn't really matter anymore. I even think I remember something like that when it was written, they never added more than a last name as a describer so when they casted the movie any role could be male or female. The important thing was to get the right person for the right role. Although it could be just a rumour I once heard, I still think the casting was as close to perfect as you can get.
Marvelous, absolutely marvelous!! you put into words everything that millions have been thinking and said it with dry wit and outright sarcasm. Every word was the absolute truth and I loved it. It was a pleasure to listen to it!!
@@DespotofAntrim Terrific analysis, you should really speak out against Anime and Manga, Japanese media is also plagued by these horrible double standards.
The core problem with stereotyped characters is that they end up being one dimensional, and thus can't be fleshed out in any detail. Thus they are not a good basis for a story. Let a new age lefty lose as a writer and the fiction is remarkably bad. Amazing just how bad some of this stuff is.
Girl bosses infest the world of make believe like a virus. Meanwhile, in the real world, every female I know asks me to open jars and dispose of spiders in the bath.
I never actually finished watching Walking Dead and neither did my gf so we've decided to binge the show. We're at season 9 and even my girl is asking where are the men? Over the last couple seasons its becoming a ridiculous amount of "strong" female characters. I guess in a world where brut force and violence reigns it'll be girls saving us all? Its a shame I don't even wanna think about this crap while I'm trying to enjoy a movie or show but it's become so over the top.
Why are all modern protagonist anti-establishment? I’d like a protagonist who is fighting for his/her country. They also seem to get away with crimes Scott-free since plot armor.
Because "patriotism is still 19th century" and Marxism rejects the concept of nations. You need to only fight for and defend the Revolution and the Party.

At this point, anime is our only hope of great female characters, or even media in general... Why has Hollywood media fallen so low and become so annoying?
Why is there an entire month and day, as well as another day, and some other days I’m probably not aware of, celebrating women when women are a million times more privileged than men? We live in a sad misandrist world.
I very much noticed this with GOTG3. They had three gorgeous women leads who were wearing thick coveralls the entire movie. They went out of their way to make their stunningly hot women look as unattractive as possible.
They are also properly developed strong female characters with actual personalities, hardships to overcome etc. And they respect and love their fellow male guardians. These are the kind of female characters who should be role models for young girls. Especially Nebula and pre soul stone Gamora.
Corrections: the interviewer in the Nixon interview was David Frost (not Robert), Nixon resigned in 1974 (not 1973) and was not impeached (I was aware of this but failed to communicate that the impeachment process was under way and not finished). The Despot always eats his Ls.

I remember movie reviewers clutching their pearls when James Bond had a scene where he shot a woman. They said it is unseen cruelty to women and it supports harmful behavior and whatever. Well, she was a villain who just murdered a man and tortured Bond while at the same time had her henchman nuke a city of 15 million people.
Even back in the day of good ol' sexist hollywood, women were rarely hit unduly. Unless it is a horror, war, or kung fu movie, woman get it easy. Captured and pushed around yes, but Elsa Snyder in The Last Crusade for example I don't remember getting hit once while the Indiana and his dad get punched many times. I guess unless she is a front line soldier the enemies wouldn't stoop so low as to hit a woman.
Media literacy has really went down the toilet with the centering of PC culture
That's why Quentin Tarantino doesn't hold back 😂
It's odd that these strong female characters are explicitly created to take over not only male roles, but male characteristics. Yet the characteristics they seem obsessed with are *negative* characteristics. Uncouth vulgarity, brute force, high-handed arrogance, haughty indifference and more - none of these are characteristics that anyone admires in a man, yet the girl bosses consider it a proud accomplishment to slather them over themselves. They end up as schizophrenic mutants - hating men, yet aping the thing they hate and even pushing their way to caricature. Somehow this is all supposed to be OK because it's (technically) a woman who's doing it.
What's uncouth
Yeah, basically they include all traits associated with "toxic masculinity" (just to use another buzzword) and slap it on a female character.
The reality is than the "male toxic behaviors" are what they really like, a lot of those women don't care about really good men and want an abusive one.

@skylanderlego4163
I'd like to agree, but... It does matter. Men's pinion don't matter in today's society, obviously. In fact, men are BLAMED for things failing. If men's opinions mattered, these horrible anti-male shows and movies wouldn't keep being made. They'd have been canceled into the ground.

@@skylanderlego4163 I feel like Hollywood thinks this is what women want to see and I'm just saying, "no we don't".
I worked a lot of comedy shows as security.
Almost no women ever got through an act without mentioning their periods, even the funny ones.
But ESPECIALLY the unfunny ones.
Really? That's lame.
...Then again, I probably couldn't get through without mentioning my tits and ass. Probably because it's my equivalent of a fat guy making fun of himself for being fat: EVERYONE sees it, and if you're going to make fun of yourself, the most obvious thing comes to mind, first. XD
They always talk about their sexual lives. I know why there's nothing more unfunny than a middle-aged, overweight woman. They can't do comedy.
Male comedy = funny observations about the world in general.
Female 'comedy' = not so funny observations about her. And patriarchy.
I'm a big comedy fan myself and I'm 38. I've seen hundreds of stand up specials and comedy central used to pump them out on TV all day. Your 100% right!! It was ALWAYS brought up. It's sad these women can't come up with their own material honestly. These days I recommend Stavros Halkis, and ofcourse, Shane Gillis
Same thing happens in my country, I think I’ve come to understand why; comedy comes through pain and suffering.
Think about it, male comedians make jokes out of their life threatening experiences, their obesity, their abusive childhood, the assaults on them, their divorces, their (either current or previous) poverty, generally making light of otherwise terrible things. Either that or it’s observations about the world. Since men are treated like garbage from the get go until they prove otherwise, we gain a lot of funny experiences. Many successful comedians have incredibly dark histories.
Most women, no matter how much they like to pretend otherwise, don’t really face struggle and hardship on the same level, and the ones who do, are completely unable to make light of those situations. It’s why every female comedian will make jokes about periods, it’s the most hurtful and traumatic thing they go through, and why they always go “men bad”, or “bad patriarchy”. In the absence of actual problems, they need to make them up.
The "Slave Leia" scene isn't degrading. It's empowering. Granted, Carrie Fisher felt uncomfortable wearing it but she didn't reject it. Jabba makes Leia wear the outfit in order to humiliate her and break her will in hopes that she will accept her new life as his new favorite trophy. But Leia is cunning. She pretends to be passive and hurt by this treatment when in reality her resolve is as strong as it ever was and she waits patiently for an opportunity to strike at her captor. And when she does, she kills him with very chain he enslaved her with. Leia doesn't get more empowering than that.
True, the scene was also used to show off Carrie Fisher's beautiful body, but the movie never turns her into an object. If anything, Leia resists becoming an object.
Hollywood needs to stop being afraid of showing some skin.
That scene was always stupid though, and while not as bad as modern wokeness it never made sense even in context. I don't care how much of a girlbossing spaceprincess you are, you're not overpowering a several ton spacesnail.
I never really had a problem with the scene, but it's not a good one. It just kinda happens and that's that, whatever.
Also, "kills him with the very chain he enslaved her with" is the kind of painfully on the nose crap that a woke millennial thinks is deep. I'm sorry, but it's so bad.
@@schnek8927 Yes it is a good scene. It's well directed, well acted and well written.
Your complaint is pretentious as hell. I mean, are you seriously complaining about the fact that she killed a slug? You do realize this is fantasy, right?
And I never said it was deep, the point is that it's poetic.
You're joking, right? Look at Jabba. There is NOTHING physically threatening about him. He's evil, but he's only dangerous as long as he has guards around him. Seems like the easiest sci to creature to kill if you're willing to be direct about it.
It's very generous expecting from Twitter/tiktok "folks" ability to detect nuances and subtle messages. These people have at best two digits IQ, loathe normal things and will not understand anything unless it is explained to them in direct wording. These are overgrown children that never experienced anything serious and never had to bother using brain
Fisher has also claimed that she had sex with A LOT of men and fans because of that metal bikini.
As a female, I detest this whole “girl boss” bullshit.

Wish the video had been about this rather than 10 minutes of whining about female characters being allowed to wear setting-appropriate clothing.
Guyladriel even pronounces her words the same way a bond villain would. She is so obviously the bad guy in that show.
She might as well be Morgoth, the OG dark lord. What she promised to do to Adar and his children is not unlike Morgoth cursing the children of Hurin, and making their father watch.
@@Prich319yeah I was kind of thinking that she has replaced Morgoth / Melkor for most practical intents and purposes when one considers her impact on middle earth as she is portrayed in that show.
Isn’t it funny that the actress is about 5 years older than Blanchett was in her first appearance as Galadriel, but is supposed to be the younger version? Acting like a girl throwing a temper tantrum, while Blanchett almost appeared as something of otherworldly wisdom and nuance. Good times.
Cute and evil, my kind of villain... oh wait she is supposed to be the hero? Darn.
Never finished the show, had no idea she turned into a disrespectful, racially motivated, genocidal maniac with a revenge boner and an disposition so distasteful a volcano avoided her.
It doesn't help that one of the unwritten rules of the woke code (the modern Hays Code) is that a woman can have no flaws and, therefore no character development/arc.

That is the number one trait of the Mary Sue. Despite the "OC Do Not Steal" nature of their designs, so as long as the world revolves around the character, it is a Mary Sue. This was regarded as a writing blunder that several blogs had a section dedicated to avoid writing such character, but now it's the gold standard of writing female characters.
The main difference is that the self-inserts in fan fiction had the male character of choice faun over the Mary Sue, while modern-day, feminist Mary Sue can't have a man at all.

My gf got me into the show Suits . The main male characters were smart , charismatic , and masculine . I immediately knew the first season was pre strong female characters everywhere era . Sad that you can immediately know when a show was created because men were allowed to be men .
Funny thing is at the later seasons it goes full GIRLBOSS. Ironically, the character of Megan Markle is just as insufferable. She constantly rejects Mike, but when he finally moves on and starts dating another woman, she charges to his place and is “traumatized” by finding not his boyfriend in bed with his actual girlfriend, and then uses that fact as leverage against him for the rest of the show. Even worst, she cheats on him with another guy (that was married and was having an affair with), and then uses AGAIN the previous fact as leverage for him to forgive her.
@@felipemontero1087 Jesus fucking christ, this sounds like the strategy Meg must have used to get Harry as her new pet.

And it's just so funny how they actually get Mike to forgive her for some bullshit like this, even some of the most absolutely CUCKED white knights I have ever seen in my life would never even think of doing that, JFC, it's like media is becoming a sort of psyop to actually make men a caricature of incel theory beta males, which is funny considering how much modern media rages against incels (while simultaneously demonizing the male sex drive).
Was a great era and itl never come back, around 2015 the agenda/propaganda/ subversion reached full infiltration, thank God for older shows and yeah I just watch like Burn Notice and Psych, the Following was pretty good actually, even like Smallville was a good show before all the superhero shows to became full of "social justice" feminist aka femibolshevick/LGBTQRS bs/nonsense.

The saddest part is that not only modern Hollywood is destroying male characters, but it is also depriving us of truly strong, believable, likable female characters. Ellen Ripley is one of my favorite protagonists (overall, not just among females) and she was literally a girl boss! The fact that she wasn't irrational, arrogant, condescending, or incompetent, made her likable and believable. Now imagine a modern-day version of Alien; The entire crew should be demoted to laughable dimwits so that the strong female character can stand out. Oh, and also she has to be perfect and flawless in every way.
Remember when heroic female moments in movies gave you "goosebumps" instead of "cringe"? like when Éowyn removed her helmet and said "I am no man." (hell I'm getting goosebumps right now!)
Nowadays It's like your hero saying: "If I have seen further, it is not by standing on the shoulders of Giants; It is because I raided a village of midgets, took their eyes out, and decapitated them." and expecting the audience to root for her.
BOOOOO, naming Ripley/Connor is generic surface level references!!
Mention some women from Korean indy films - YMS comment section response to Critical Drinker
@@dazgordon-hill2660 😅
I haven't watched many Korean movies, but those two girls from "The Handmaiden" were awesome. and hot. Also that North Korean chick from squid games was pretty badass. and hot too.
And my mom used to watch a Korean TV series called "Jewel in the Palace" (I had to google the name because I remember everyone calling it Yangum here in Iran) which was super famous here and everybody loved her.
That compound bow lady from "The Host" and that little girl saving the little boy from the monster were also both strong, likable characters. Although I don't know if any one of these movies and series are independent :)
But in all seriousness, I fucking love Korean movies, with Oldboy being one of my favorite movies. Fun fact; I watched Oldboy because of Adam's review.
It's not just Hollywood. It is all over the world. As a Czech I see it in our modern movies as well. Since the 1920s, there were actually incredibly strong female characters and role models - from little girls all the way to old ladies. I would say in most movies, there was at least one woman who was the voice of reason who either resolved the plot or strongly helped to do so. And if a woman got into trouble, she could handle it.Example is this 30 second scene from a 50s comedy where a girl is smuggling food to a prisoner while she encounters a guard who slaps her butt th-cam.com/video/qFpp3Nl_UxE/w-d-xo.html
Today, probably since the mid 00s, there are no such characters. Women in the movies are weak, obnoxious, boring and even though they are supposedly main characters, they contribute nothing to the plot. Which makes most movies unwatchable.
@@petrmaly9087 Wow! What a powerful scene! That's an ass slap that I can believe and condemn :) Now compare it to the slap in Barbie.
In Barbie, they were in a public place in the modern-day US, in front of hundreds of eyes, she was with a companion (a jacked one), and the guy slapped her anyway. It was so bizarrely unrealistic and unbelievable that you couldn't root for the protagonist, even though she was subject to sexual harassment.
It's mind-boggling how they are alienating the audience. At this point, it's like a psyops conspiracy by some misogynists who are actively trying to make people hate women.
Let me give you an example; When I was a kid (around y.2000), they used to air "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" TV series here in Iran, and it was a massive hit. Everybody loved it. I cannot stress how bizarre that is. An Islamic country with an extremely patriarchal society and conservative values, loved a show about an American woman and her struggles. Nobody thought it was forced, unrealistic, toxic, or that it was pushing an agenda. How do you go from capturing the hearts and minds of people from all around the world to creating monstrosities like She-hulk and Velma that even your own culture despises?
@@MassoodTavakkoli I remember Dr. Quinn, my mother, who is a doctor, used to watch it. I only recall couple of scenes, but it was seriously supporting issues like voting rights for women, it painted black people in a very good light... Interesting it aired in Iran. I assume they allowed it as it was a depiction of a society a long time ago.
The slap scene I linked is one of many where the actress excels, she was a famous since the early 30s to the mid 80s (Natasa Gollova, interestingly enough, she has a wiki page in Persian as well) in that very movie, you can see the actors and actresses are not holding back when it comes to stunts including slaps. They took their work seriously. And even though she was an actress, she didn't live as part of the secluded elite, after the war, she volunteered as a nurse in an internment camp (former concentration camp) and survived through a typhoid epidemic.
What is more important - this movie was a hardcore eastern bloc communist party propaganda that ends in a crowd of people singing "when we all give everything to everyone
then we will all have everything together." Even such a propaganda movie was created in a way you appreciate the craft and the skill that went into it.
The amount of research you put into making these videos is really great ❤
These videos are more fun to watch rather than the movies
may movies never get better lol

I miss when Cassie was an adorable child in the first 2 movies, then it seems she got infected with Activism.

Selfishness, self centredness and self obsession is all to be celebrated nowadays
I am always happy when Starship Troopers gets any praise. You're spot on with your example.
Furthermore: The romantic couples in this movie lack any meaningful connection. These relationships are shallow, narcissistic and purely physical. The gruesome death of your "loved" one is just an event which is forgotten in the next scene. Perfect representation of GenZ's approach to "love".
Gen Z?? Pretty sure, this is cultural problem, not a generational problem.
@@lakshaykochhar6799this! I'm a young Gen Z boy and I gotta say, it's more of a cultural than a generational thing. Even then, I'm not satisfied with how millennials write our approach to "love". It needs to feel more natural, like a years- or decades-long relationship, not a one-time encounter bc that'd feel unrealistic imo
Face-rape is a serious crisis in modern cinema. Thank you for your dedication to the cause.
The James Bond segment was just so...depressingly accurate. Excellent video. Well done, sir
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the tip!
Its funny when they make the female a Mary sue and the guy a villain but he turns out to be the only relatable character with any personality.
I think the worst thing about the whole thing is that, on the one hand, they are trying to preach equality, but on the other, they are clearly biased towards women and expect us to do the same. I think the best examples of that are any cases of violence shown in those movies or shows. If a man hit a woman, there would be outrage that the movie promotes violence. But if it's other way, Then it's perfectly fine because violence towards men is perfectly fine and funny. Imagine if, in Peter Pan, the boy hit a girl. Or in Velma, it would be a female officer who is getting kicked by a guy. Twitter and SJWs would be furious.
PS. The whole video fills me with so much anger that I can't even watch it all. The hypocrisy of those people is just disgusting. I genuinly hope that the Hollywood will fall and they will be finally forced to create good movies instead of feeding people with those shitty, agenda pushing movies...
Nah, they don't talk about "equality" anymore. They know it's BS as much as we do. Now it's "equity." In other words: Women are an oppressed class. Enslaved and tortured for the amusement of men. So when a woman punches a man in the balls, calls him a slur, and steals his money on the way out, she's just "punching up" (as they like to say) at her oppressor. It's just like the Rebellion attacking the Death Star!
Except that none of that is true, and it's more like the woman in that hypothetical is the Death Star destroying Alderaan. If the man fought back after being assaulted he would be put in jail and lose his job, while the woman would be praised for... something, something, girlboss, or whatever.
I'm okay with the idea of balancing the scales where it's needed, but most of the time, "equity" seems to take the form of revenge against innocent people for being born into a particular demographic. And all in the name of righting an imagined injustice that we all just agree exists without evidence. Frustrating!

@@DespotofAntrim Terrific analysis, you should really speak out against Anime and Manga, Japanese media is also plagued by these horrible double standards.
@@shawnwarrynn8609 Wrong. Anime and mange are full of EVERY type of perversion - it all evens out. The Japanese have got artistic freedom.
The thing is that while on one level they've put women on a pedestal (untouchable, all-powerful, infallible) and treat me like yesterday's garbage, in reality they're destroying both of us.
They decided that the way to write good female characters was to take the most over the top hyper-aggressive masculine tropes of the 80s and 90s action movies and copy/paste them onto women without an attempt to give them flaws, actual struggles, relationships - anything.
There's loads of masterfully written examples of strong female and male characters out there (I mentioned this elsewhere but Aragorn in LOTR and Vi in Arcane are two great examples), but these assholes are just too lazy, incompetent or untalented to ever write fully-fleshed out people who learn and grow and have flaws.
No more than the black Cleopatra BS, it does a disservice to both sides when they serve up this swill and try to tell us it's quality.

I've made this video about 10 times in my head. Thanks for actually making this 👍🏻
But was it underscored by Stevie Wonder?
0:43 For about the last 10 years or so, this has been the trend in comics. Writers these days think the villains are the good guys because they identify with the villains. Anyone with virtuous characteristics or a desire to be good, is the bad guy to them, especially because that person isn't perfect. The whole dichotomy has been flipped on its head. They don't want to admit they are flawed and see these virtuous archetypes that they wont live up to, but should strive to, "mocking them." If the villain is the hero, well these writers don't seem so bad. They are at least as good as these "new hero." Not to mention, a lot of villains are just people who feel they have been slighted and using that to justify selfish behavior. Very common theme these days in society with a great many "groups."
Atheists and other god haters
Good people are faking
Evil people are victims
A trend I don't see many people bring up is that Strong Female Characters almost always are STEM girls. Implying to girls that the only way to be respected, taken seriously, and be intelligent is to be into STEM. I'm an intelligent woman and I fucking hate science lmao, I'm a language/history person. But I often feel like I'm not doing enough because I'm not forcing myself to get into a higher paying STEM career because that's what jobs intelligent women "should" be doing (according to The Message). And nearly all of these insufferable "strong" female characters aren't just STEM girls, they're usually some sort of engineering or physics geniuses. You know, jobs almost completely dominated by males. God forbid a woman wants to degrade herself by becoming a nurse, or pharmacist, or teacher.
STEM people earn a fraction of what finance people earn anyway. STEM is critical, but we just don't need that many people doing it
STEM is good but I'll just say this to you, there is something for everyone to make themselves unique, maybe STEM isn't for you and that's oky, cause we are all different.

Just now I walked past a mirror and blurted out "reflection of myself". Look what you've done to me, Despot.

I'm a huge wrestling fan and this kind of crap is even going on in the WWE. Right now it is absolutely fine for any of the female wrestlers to attack the men and the men aren't allowed to do jackshit about it. This wasn't the case back in the 90's or 2000's, I'm not even sure when it started happening but it's such bullshit.
I think it sends out such an awful message especially considering a lot of kids watch wrestling that it's fine for women to hit men and men are just powerless to do anything about it.
I mean in a fucked up way that's pretty true, in real life a woman could be beating a man up for an hour straight but if he retaliates once he's the bad guy now.
The worst was Stephanie McMahon during The Authority angle. Not only could the men not hit her, they weren't even allowed to come out on top in verbal exchanges. You can't have a heel authority figure who *never* gets any comeuppance. That's just basic booking.
@@BiggieTrismegistus heels not getting comeuppance is basically how the WWE operates now because of all these long title reigns, it's one of the reasons I'm considering not watching anymore because pay offs are so far a few between these days.
Take Roman for example, yeah he got pinned a couple months ago but he's still the champion, he barely ever defends and when he does it's just the exact same match we've been watching for 3 years now. I've kind of lost interest in the whole bloodline thing. They've propped this man up so high and he's barely ever on the show.
Last year after Drew lost people said it'll be Sami, then Sami lost and people said it'll be Cody, then Cody lost now they're saying let it play out. With 8 months till Wrestlemania I'm just not interested.
When evil people write "heroes."
The double standards that show up in modern films and TV shows are so disgusting. People are already starting to point out and see it. I hope that a reflection of the movie's profits reflect on their wallets and they realize that having a reflection of bullshit won't work in good writing.
It is interesting that these writers don't stop for even a second to ask how the scene would look if the roles were reversed.
If it wasn't for double standards they wouldn't.........you know the rest.
As if they would care even if they did.
They know it. They want to manipulate us to percieve it as is something positive, normalizing it. Everything they do is to change society.
They definitely do. But they don't care because there is a set of parameters to make this propaganda.
That’s because they’re not very bright.
Add to the list of gender-swaps in the MCU, not just tokenized replacement but actual gender-swaps of established characters include: Ancient One, Mar-Vell, Taskmaster, Karl Morgenthau, Scarlet Scarab, Ghost, Ajak, Sprite, and Makkari. You also have female Loki.
Okay at least with those they weren't in the source material so I get the criticism but honestly who cares if there's a female or male version of x superhero. As long as they're written well and go through trials and tribulations then it's fine, and hell if they want to say something progressive about contemporary political issues then that's fine as well so long as its subtle and executed well.

@@felipemontero1087 yeah but isn't that kinda a selfish reason to want the power of Thor? It's not to help others it's cuz I wanna live. I'm not a huge comic book guy but I know a little about mythology, the idea is "whoever holds the hammer if they're worthy, they'll have the power of Thor" I'm paraphrasing, I saw the movie and it seems like being selfish would be a trait that would exclude you from wielding the hammer. I could be remembering the movie incorrectly, not sure.
@@richardsanchez5444 well the point of the video is the double standard. Thor had to be willing to sacrifice himself for others to be worthy, but Portperson could be selfish, arrogant, petty and vindictive, but is ok cause she’s a woman.

Bo-Katan could have been a good villain for The Mandalorian season 3 but since she's a woman Disney/Lucasfilm wouldn't let that happen. Instead they made her the protagonist in Din Djarin's own show.
The need to show how strong women are at the expense of male characters just shows how weak women really are. I never noticed the extent of their weakness until all of this.
That's a good point. These movies really DO highlight how unskilled, unintelligent & weak normal women usually are.

Women aren't weak, they are just making it look that way by trying to make them succeed as men. Even physically speaking, you ever tried to scrub and wring and hang out to dry big tubs of laundry by hand all day? Churned butter by hand? Women used to do that, a "weak" person can't lift a tub of water onto a stove or hang a soaking blanket up to dry, carry baskets of wet laundry. Not being as powerful as a man doesn't make you "weak". And there is always childbirth.
On the men's side, how many Americans alive today do you think could swing a sythe in 100° sun cutting grass or oats for 14 or 16 hours a day, day after day, in long sleeves and long underwear.

He shows that part. That was my thought as well, although I think he has a point that she would have to be a _very_ exceptional fighter to beat the larger guy even if she wasn't untrained. And he is probably a very well trained fighter. Size really matters in a fight. A smaller person can beat a larger one if they have better training, but with anything like equality of skill the larger person will win every time. They can hit harder, reach farther, block better, use their weight against the opponent. There is a very real reason they have weight classes in boxing and other martial arts.

That this has affected literature slightly less than it has film is somewhat telling, because it's easier to watch than to read, but I've noticed it there as well. I use the Hugo and Nebula award winning titles to find great authors and series, and I think that what makes a great Science Fiction story is that it explores and plays with the outcome of an idea or concept.
The female characters from books from the 50s through the 80s were much more comfortable with their sexuality and capabilities. It seems like around the 90s, they feel less like fleshed out characters. Through the 2000s to the present-day, they're even less fleshed out. I think that it's almost defensive, we don't want to honestly explore the outcome of removing Women's protected status, having them compete on equal footing in society, and having them progressively push back the forming of meaningful relationships. It's progressively more taboo to honestly explore this. It's unfortunate that I prefer Female characters written before "empowerment" really gained steam.
There are a number of writers' blogs I follow who are of the opinion that the current generation of Hugos tends to represent a fairly shallow pool of Sci Fi content, due to a long-running bias towards in-group preference and ideological conformity
When I read fiction, it’s usually not modern (meaning, 20th century or after), so I ask with genuine interest: Do you reckon this shift in female characterization is because “woman” as gradually assumed a characterization unto itself (i.e., being a woman implicitly entails certain traits that remain unquestioned and unquestionable), or because authors are simply afraid or unable to explore meaningfully female characterizations? Or maybe a combination of both? Maybe something else?
@@the_absurd_hero I'd lean more toward the awarding committees are less interested in compelling fiction and more interested in reinforcing their own experiences and opinions. There are still good female characters written of course, but it's jarring comparing contemporary characters in the Hugo and Nebula award winners to many in the past.
If that's what counts for empowerment then that's just tragic because all it reads as is treating women like kids who always need to morally good one dimensional characters because we can't possibly have women characters be as fleshed out as their males counterparts because apparently its sexist which doesn't make any sense.
If Guyladriel had demanded "a few planks and a rudder" I'd have dumped her into a current out at sea, with exactly that inventory.
I remembered as you mentioned Alien and Ripley, the first time I watched it, I rented it as a VHS tape. I knew nothing about it, only the plot from the back of it, and the picture on the front. I thought to myself "oh what a cute guy, I'll watch this", because it never said anything about who was men and women on the tape.
So I watched it and I remember thinking at the end of the movie "hey...what happened to that cute dude in the picture" only to realize that it never was one it was Ripley on the cover, but because the movie was so good, so well written characters it didn't really matter anymore.
I even think I remember something like that when it was written, they never added more than a last name as a describer so when they casted the movie any role could be male or female. The important thing was to get the right person for the right role. Although it could be just a rumour I once heard, I still think the casting was as close to perfect as you can get.

It’s sad because that bond pitch is 100% better written than anything that comes out nowadays. Love the vids man
Goodness I needed to find your channel much earlier, this content is awesome.
Great to see these double-standards getting exposed :P
The core problem with stereotyped characters is that they end up being one dimensional, and thus can't be fleshed out in any detail. Thus they are not a good basis for a story. Let a new age lefty lose as a writer and the fiction is remarkably bad. Amazing just how bad some of this stuff is.
Timestamping the only good parts of the video:
0:00 - 1:01:36
Hilarious. So original & cool
That build up to Velma.
Nailed it once again. What a sign of the times.
Girl bosses infest the world of make believe like a virus. Meanwhile, in the real world, every female I know asks me to open jars and dispose of spiders in the bath.
I never actually finished watching Walking Dead and neither did my gf so we've decided to binge the show. We're at season 9 and even my girl is asking where are the men? Over the last couple seasons its becoming a ridiculous amount of "strong" female characters. I guess in a world where brut force and violence reigns it'll be girls saving us all? Its a shame I don't even wanna think about this crap while I'm trying to enjoy a movie or show but it's become so over the top.
Why are all modern protagonist anti-establishment? I’d like a protagonist who is fighting for his/her country.
They also seem to get away with crimes Scott-free since plot armor.
Obviously, loving your country, no matter the context, is fascism. You're supposed to love your demographic group only.
Because the establishment is clearly evil. Do you live under a rock? You're probably just American.
Because "patriotism is still 19th century" and Marxism rejects the concept of nations. You need to only fight for and defend the Revolution and the Party.
SISU had a strong male hero who rescued women who then ably defended themselves, and also respected the hero. Great film, worth rewatching.
I really love this channel. It's great.
I really appreciate your ideas, and your writing style is excellent; your video is like art.
Fun fact: "reva" can be translated as "cunt" in finnish, quite fitting

The quality of your videos is outstanding and it must take a lot of time and work to produce them quickly. Finding your channel was a good day (A "reflection of myself" if you will) because a bad day with epilepsy requires laughs to remedy. You provide them in abundance - alongside the trauma of seeing Robert Paulson mercilessly eviscerated by everyone's beloved Queen of Kings of Elves of Men. Cheers, Despot
It's always a good day when you can see a reflection of yourself reflected back at yourself. Thank you for the tip!
"jabba the hut was replaced by lizzo" 😂😂😂😂
24:56 “That’s so Reva!” Bahahahaha your American accent with the Friends theme underneath is gold, my dude(spot)
The James Bond skit KILLED me!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Man that stuff in the Star Wars “sequels” with Rose Tico ….what on earth where they thinking when they wrote that garbage.
Rain Johnson has openly stated that his aim was to piss off Star Wars fans. Another great Kathleen Kennedy hire.
At this point, anime is our only hope of great female characters, or even media in general... Why has Hollywood media fallen so low and become so annoying?
That video was extremely interesting as it was f**king hilarious. 🙌
Soooo true.
Why is there an entire month and day, as well as another day, and some other days I’m probably not aware of, celebrating women when women are a million times more privileged than men? We live in a sad misandrist world.
This video is spot on. I'm now a subscriber.
I very much noticed this with GOTG3. They had three gorgeous women leads who were wearing thick coveralls the entire movie. They went out of their way to make their stunningly hot women look as unattractive as possible.
They are also properly developed strong female characters with actual personalities, hardships to overcome etc. And they respect and love their fellow male guardians. These are the kind of female characters who should be role models for young girls. Especially Nebula and pre soul stone Gamora.

Eh
Being covered != unattractive.
