2019-11-30 14:33:58 UTC  

I think 10 days in a beautiful jungle island being taught how to kill with various weapons by an ex Navy SEAL

2019-11-30 14:35:06 UTC

2019-11-30 14:41:28 UTC  

@Scrye what the

2019-11-30 14:41:38 UTC  

girls can totally beat up men don't you know

2019-11-30 14:42:13 UTC  

Good writing always comes up on top

2019-11-30 14:42:33 UTC  

And it shows through profits

2019-11-30 14:44:03 UTC  

<@409166850878996490>pe - yep I used to be able to beat the ass off most men as a black belt but what that fuck does that prove.

2019-11-30 14:44:10 UTC  

hollywood doesn't write strong female characters, they write mary sues who just so happen to be female

2019-11-30 14:44:36 UTC  

...it's like that george carlin bit, "he happens to be black"

americans will lynch anything

2019-11-30 14:46:58 UTC  

Murderous mary lmao

2019-11-30 14:48:15 UTC  

Instead of writing characters that are relatable to its audience, like Amanda Ripley, you get the same forced idealism of what women should be "strong, independent, need help from nobody!" Gee that sounds an awful lot like a man <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

2019-11-30 14:48:36 UTC  

I miss Ripley

2019-11-30 14:48:43 UTC  

I miss Hicks more, though

2019-11-30 14:48:56 UTC  

Amanda Ripley is from Alien Isolation

2019-11-30 14:49:10 UTC  

I thought it sounded off, but you get my point

2019-11-30 14:49:13 UTC  

ellen ripley is the OG one

2019-11-30 14:49:27 UTC  

right, right

2019-11-30 14:49:46 UTC  

and yeah she's a good example of how to do a feminist lead right
the fact that she's a woman is secondary to the fact that she gets shit done

2019-11-30 14:50:11 UTC  

she's a strong leading character
who is a woman

2019-11-30 14:50:27 UTC  

Michael Biehn is in a lot of pretty awesome films

2019-11-30 14:50:27 UTC  

Don't forget night of the living dead

2019-11-30 14:50:46 UTC  

Black dude does all the protecting, white woman does all the clear thinking and the white men just get in the way.

2019-11-30 14:51:05 UTC  

Sounds like my country

2019-11-30 14:51:10 UTC  

in Aliens, they also make strong use of the character's maternal nature too to drive the character and story

2019-11-30 14:51:39 UTC  

night of the living dead shows main character going from being a hysterical wreck to being the only one who stays sane

2019-11-30 14:51:41 UTC  

I now need to rewatch it, such a good movie

2019-11-30 14:52:05 UTC  

aliens is fucking good
