Many solo female led movies have been big successes, you don’t have to look very hard to find successful solo female lead movies like Captain Marvel of The Hunger Games. -Never said that I like my female characters to be sexualized damsels in distress *facepalm* - I am perfectly happy playing games or watching movies that have strong female leads (as a for instance, I loved games with strong female main characters like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey). I just hate it when writers degrade male characters to make their female characters look better, or make their female characters overpowered Mary Sues, like for instance Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Birds of Prey might not even be one of those pieces of media that does that, all I said was that somebody told me that it is one of those. I will judge the movie when I watch it myself, likely once it is available to rent. |
Sorry, I've taken enough shit off your type to not be interested in continuing to do so anymore.
I have observed that characters like you never ever apply the same sorts of complaints in reverse. Never would someone like you complain of girls or women being portrayed poorly in films or any other medium, though it is exponentially more commonplace. None of your type ever complains of "Gary Stus" or anything of this nature, nor that, for example, most movies include literally no dialogue between women that isn't about men. But any time, and yes I mean ANY time, ANY movie about girls or women is announced, instantly there are men here claiming to be victimized well before its release. I find it impossible not to notice that logical contrast and have to ask myself why it's there.
