The days this shit is regarded as a bad thing is when cinemas will recover.
She also isn't.
I wouldn't know, I didn't watch it.
Anything mentioning strong female leads is an instant skip.
You're not losing out. Based on a YA series with Mary Sues, love triangles, scenes of the main girl going through a montage of beauty treatments... The show includes turning whites not white, heterosexuals gay, etc.
It's not worth your time, you are too male, too old (I don't know your age, but you are over 13) and too intelligent for it.
Sounds like the typical utter dreadfulness of Netflix.
It should be. It used to be quite nice when "girl power" wasn't the whole point of it, e.g. Eowyn and the Witch-king. But they've pushed it so hard that it's hard to see it now without projecting modern-day nonsense onto it.
You're agreeing with me? Someone get the camera.
Eh, even at the time, that was pretty cringe inducing. "I am no man." It was pure stupid girl power. Same with all the Arwen crap.
One annoying part of this who "strong female lead" propaganda is that from 1904 until around 1964, "strong female leads" were very common, even standard, in American movies. Anyone here ever heard of, a century on, Mary Pickford, for heaven's sake?
All through that time It was very common to have Westerns where there was a female cattle rancher, a female who ran the saloon and was secretly organizing stage coach robberies, female timber cutter or mine operators. Perfectly normal.
It was similarly the case for crime movies, in film noir, in melodrames, romances, and so on. Women like Marie Windsor and Ida Lupino were very often the lead actor in stories, overshadowing the men both in story importance and in screen time.
Has anyone ever heard of a little film called "Gone With The Wind". Strong female leads, anyone?
I could easily list one hundred women who were major stars and leads in US movies over the period mentioned.
It was only in the mid-1960s, coincidentally with the rise of feminism, that these types roles very quickly started to disappear. I do not know why, but I think that it was no coincidence that that was also the period that saw the end of the Studio system, the decline of the objective - yes, objective - quality of movies and the triumph of television.
Anyway, my point is, just like every other kind of history,the world of woke knows no film history.
Thing is a strong female lead back in the day was.... still for all intents and purposes a female and it made sense. Doesn't mean they were not sometimes doing some rough and tough stuff, but they still seemed like women doing those roles.
Now adays in most cases a "strong female lead" just means a woman pretending to be a dude and they are basically interchangable.
That is what always got me about feminism.... if you really break it down most feminism is actually a celebration of manlyness weirdly and just forcing women to adopt male traits.
It won't because even when its not intended, beta simps will create it.
See, Resident Evil 8 where one of 5 Lords was a tall woman, and she instantly became the only thing anyone cared about the game because "tall mommy uwu." And they are already pissed because, as she is the first boss, she is gone for 80% of the games runtime.
There's tall women and then there's Lady Dimitrescu...she must be 12 foot tall...:D
Just finished it...seriously easy game and I'm way past it at playing games.
She's 9'6, Capcom came out and told us to try and milk the popularity.
And yeah its pretty easy, I only died to two insta-kill setpieces and then the final boss once. But I don't think horror games need to be hard.
Probably true. Kind of a depressing thing to think about.
Funny enough, that meme is why I never touched that game, despite my backlog being clear and Epic dropping garbage updates. I've only really been playing F1 lately anyway, I want to enjoy the 2020 edition while it's still the latest, as 2021 is made by the matriarchy's propagandists (EA) and will no doubt be shit. They've already announced a story mode, that literally nobody asked for, with an unlikable white male antagonist.
It doesn't surprise me that people bought a game because of a meme and then complained that the meme wasn't the whole game. They build unrealistic expectations that would ruin the entire idea, and demand it anyway, because everything is better with female characters everywhere, especially when they can act as a proxy for their fucking OF waifu, or in the case of women, for their murderous sadist fantasies.
I mean, if the game is up your alley its a solid enough game. The game was complete before she became a meme, so in the game itself she is barely dwelled on. Heisenburg is the lord with the most focus, and he is a straight up badass dude.
Honestly, I've bought plenty of games for the memes, but never full priced ones, and usually I temper myself to "was this designed for the meme?" (like Hatred many years ago). Getting mad about your own hype not equaling reality is incredibly stupid. Which is why I still laugh at people calling Cyberpunk "worst game ever, unplayable mess."
