She and the guy from Shang-Chi need to date at this point. I can only imagine how dumb their kids would be.
I thought we were supposed to remove dumb from the gene pool, not add to it?
Name: Shi-Michael Fevreau
Alien came out in 1979
Now you know she's never seen it. She's a kid. A rich kid, full of herself.
These days I assume most hollywood celebrities prostituted themselves or were passed around as kids for their position.
Jennifer Lawrence is 32. She's definitely old enough to at least know about Allen. Or if not that, Terminator.
She's not a kid, she's just a retard.
It’s the only way any of them become famous.
Hepburn could do an action movie in 1942 and no one would bat an eye.
Barbarella was 1968
How long ago was Aeon Flux, or Kill Bill?
Off the top of my head, Jackie Brown, Long Kiss Goodnight, Catwoman, Red Sonya, Sheena, Salt, Tomb Raider, Underworld, Resident Evil ...
Charlie's Angels, the first Charlie's Angels reboot, Wonder Woman (80's TV), Xena Warrior Princess, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV reboot.
Of course, they'll just come back with, "but there were still more MEN who were action stars, therefore sexist discrimination" as they slide the goalposts out of visual range.
Maybe we should adopt their playbook of "yes, and that's a good thing".
"Women don't get cast in action roles."
"Yes, and that's a good thing."
You're more generous than I.
My solution is to just walk away and wish gruesome, painful deaths upon them. I'm so done with these idiots.
I just like to point out that not a single one of the women who say that can physically outperform me much less take me in a fight. The vast majority of men can't either yet I'm still below the absolute pinnacle of men by quite a gap.
They really think they're entitled to equality of biology or some shit. Same reason I've been seeing people whine about people on fiction being genetically more talented.
Seems only male action heroes is john wick and equalizer.... no more muscle up heroes anymore.
Mission Impossible (TV Series). The Avengers (TV Series. Not Marvel. Diana Rigg!).
Both action. Both female co-leads. Both from the early 60s.
Mrs. Peel was the bomb.
If I had seen that series, I'd have probably gotten my "tight & shiny catsuit" fetish from her instead of wherever else I got it.
She really, really was. Also amazing as Tracy Bond, frankly. And both that movie and (slightly less so) the series still hold up today, too!
Pity all evidence suggests she was a rather unpleasant person, but man, was she ever hot AF, in the 60s…
And a pretty good actress, to boot!
Also, “The Bionic Woman” (Jamie Sommers), which is actually not terrible…
Late 70s/early 80s, I think…
Came here to post this one and good to see it's already mentioned.
She does the typical leftoid thing; she claims to be all for women and empowerment and such. So, to be able to claim these big FIRST, HISTORIC MOMENTS, she intentionally erases the great things women did before.
Leftists are so obsessed with "historical and important firsts" that when something isn't a first, it becomes mundane and boring. They don't care what someone does or even if they do it well, they just care that they're first.
I genuinely don't know what they're going to do once they run out of the "first black transbian to co-run an IHOP" bullshit they do. Eventually there will be no firsts left, no matter how artificial.
Well.. theyll come up with new adjectives. First black, queer, muslim, handicapped, autistic, with 16 kids from 14 fathers, with 201 credit score and woman with 2 dicks... to be mayor.
In 'current year' there is no past to obscure the party's ever present now.
She's the first because she needs to score points for the revolution, not because there weren't female leads before her.
Get with the program, bigots!
Since she became famous, there've been rumours about Jennifer Lawrence being one of Harvey's girls.
And her tits are saggy disappointments lol
Well, she didn’t get there on some “unique talent”, I’ll say that much…
She’s really not that good an actress. Even in a blue scaly bodysuit (Mystique), lol…
You know, thinking back on all the previous action movies with female leads that I know of, there's something I noticed about most of them. The women in those actually looked tough and like they could and would kill someone. They had defined muscle tones, they could wear a convincing scowl, and they'd often get scruffy and dirty from all their ordeals. Even if the movies were fantastical or the stunts pulled in them were impossible to do, they had me fully convinced that the women in them were hardened badasses.
Jennifer Lawrence, meanwhile, never looked like she aged past 14. She's always scrawny and petite, like she spends all her time in the salon and none in the gym. Her face is impossibly smooth and doesn't speak of having any worldly experience whatsoever. She spent most of her time as Mystique as...herself because putting on body paint and prosthetics was beneath her; she didn't even bother dying her hair black or wearing a wig for the part to match Raven's natural color in the original films.
It's honestly a common problem with a lot of actresses these days. They DEMAND to be regarded as these superbadasses, but they absolutely do not look the part, refuse to do anything to look the part, and when push comes to shove, show how weak they really are. Look no further than Guylandriel's actress, who kept on freaking out whenever she had to take on the big, tough male actors in all her action scenes.
Rebecca Romijn was just better in every way, I agree, yes…
Even if “First Class” is probably a better movie than “Last Stand”, Romijn was almost objectively the better, hotter actress in that role…
Side note: how the hell is “Romijn” even pronounced, lol? Rommy-jin? No wonder she took her husband’s name…
I'm torn on this one. My first instinct is to say "She what now?" But then also, Galadriel was never supposed to be an action girl. She's supposed to be restrained, understated and seen as powerful because of what she doesn't show (except when tempted by the One Ring, which is as much a statement of its corrupting influence as one of her power) rather than what she does. She's an example of the lost art of strength of will manifested in personality and demeanor. She shouldn't have had to "take on" anyone because Galadriel isn't a "tuff gurl" character.
Doesn't matter what Tolkien's Galadriel is supposed to be. Amazon made their Galadriel to be a big tough girlboss who shows all the MEN (and male Elves) what a bunch of enormous pussies they are...and this is all represented by a scrawny little actress who can't do any of her stunts without flinching.
More evidence that women should be seen and not heard.
So tell me Jennifer, how did sleeping with Harvey Weinstein for roles advance the rights and respect for women?
We joke about history starting yesterday for these people, but you can't make a joke about them that doesn't come true.
Except for all the ones that did, yeah.
Calling the Hunger Games an action movie is a fucking stretch.
Hunger Games is emblematic of female-led and female-written fiction:
-Passive protagonist.
-Liked by everyone for no reason.
-Generically pretty, but not to the point of alienation (everygirl).
-Very little action, most of the novel is her thoughts.
-Gets to choose between two different but equally attractive hunks.
-Men literally die at her feet.
-Threatens to kill herself to get her way (BPD/narcissism).
Its popularity doesn't mean what people think it does, but never mind. You go Catscratch. I choose the deathberries.
Either narcisistic or she is a bitch that downplayed all female strong characters. Or both.
In this case, ¿Porque no los dos?, I think…
Hunger Games was shit
She sounds like the people who said black ppl weren’t in movies before Black Panther
Shut up whore
bait
One that was everyone and won all the awards.... then Weinstein went to prison and her career stopped as well.
I'm not saying she sucked his dick for career stuff, but it makes you think, eh?
Based on her pictures, I think she probably took it in the ass, rather than sucking it.
Weinstein has no penis, he has a deformed vagina-like organ.
She was never hot. She was slightly above average
She’s also not a very good actress, IMO…
I would rate her looks higher than her acting ability, which, uhh, isn’t really saying much…
