I finally finished Mayans MC (spin-off of Sons of Anarchy) and in the second to last episode the main character has an accident and Jax Teller’s ex is the one to give him a ride to get help. In the car she says that men have it so easy because they can beat their chests and act like kids well into adulthood but women are the ones who really have it rough. Of course the main character offered no pushback. But hey I’m sure all the construction workers, miners, sewer workers, military, police, first responders, firefighters, farmers, etc. can rest easy knowing they have it easy.

You’re reaching. Kill Bill is a hyper-exaggerated “guy screws over girl so girl gets revenge,” which is fine. Not all the men in the movie are incompetent (Bill, Bud, Pai Mei) not all are bad (Hanzo), and the vast majority of women are evil and unsympathetic (Sofie, Gogo, Elle, O-Ren, Vernita.)
On top of that The Bride is utterly overjoyed to find her daughter alive, keeps her, and motherhood runs throughout the movie(s).
Movies have deteriorated drastically over the last ten years, but this is in no way your SJW style film.
Firstly, there’s only two movies, not “the other two.” So you’ve possibly watched half, which makes your criticisms ill-informed.
You’ve also ignored my points on good man, competent men, evil women and motherhood; all things that SJWs viciously hate.
As I said originally, you’re just reaching. Don’t like a strong female lead? Fine, but be honest about it. Don’t try and insinuate it’s in the vein of current_year politics.
Which is why I said, “your opinion is ill informed.” It sounds like you’ve watched a fight or two and know nothing about the film.
You ignore everything else I’ve said- specifically, the portrayals of the men and evil women- to focus on “by the power of my vagina.”
Reach, pure and simple.
Kill Bill was fun as a one time watch but I have zero interest in ever watching them again for some of the reasons you mentioned. I'd only add that most of her big guy fights are quick (and some would argue bullshit like drunk Bill droning on for ten minutes then suiciding himself rather than give us a proper fight).
The epic and beautiful fights are always woman to woman. Bud gets killed in a lame way as well, a guy part of the crew but didn't get a chance to shine at all (other than popping the main character when she tried to break into his house). Not even the martial arts master gets a fight and dies via poison.
