Seems to me like Neo, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, and Harry Potter are all given a pass for the most part. To be honest I've never head any "outrage" about characters for this reason in fantasy films. |
More weak arguments to support the weak sexism argument. Quit giving examples of people who took years of training to even get close to mastering combat/powers. Or in Neo's case, he had to have the combat training uploaded into his brain and not til the end of the movie did he fully overcome his doubt about being the One. If we followed TFA's example, the second Morpheus told Neo about the Matrix, he would start doing reality bending moves without any training programs. And he wouldn't have failed the jump from building to building.
Harry Potter is the REAL reach, though. You give an example of someone who had to go to school over 6 years to get as good as he is. If it was TFA, he wouldn't even need to go to school to learn magic, it all just started to come to him naturally after Hagrid told him at the beginning of the movie he was a wizard. Of course, in that series Hermoine is the better student, so I guess that example fails on two counts.
