Fucking excellent movies
alrighty then.
all of this knife stabbing and machete action is having me question a different vacation destination
I think 10 days in a beautiful jungle island being taught how to kill with various weapons by an ex Navy SEAL
that sounds... like an interesting time. π€
Watch Terminator Dark fate, you'll find Terminator 1 & 2 never mattered π
God I despise modern day Hollywood
what dont you like strong females in lead roles or something
Lmao
but muh strung wahmen
@Scrye what the
girls can totally beat up men don't you know
Good writing always comes up on top
And it shows through profits
<@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.
hollywood doesn't write strong female characters, they write mary sues who just so happen to be female
...it's like that george carlin bit, "he happens to be black"
wtf @A Big Gay Baby
americans will lynch anything
Murderous mary lmao
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>
I miss Ripley
I miss Hicks more, though
Amanda Ripley is from Alien Isolation
I thought it sounded off, but you get my point
ellen ripley is the OG one
right, right
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
she's a strong leading character
who is a woman
Michael Biehn is in a lot of pretty awesome films
Don't forget night of the living dead
Black dude does all the protecting, white woman does all the clear thinking and the white men just get in the way.
Sounds like my country
in Aliens, they also make strong use of the character's maternal nature too to drive the character and story
night of the living dead shows main character going from being a hysterical wreck to being the only one who stays sane
I now need to rewatch it, such a good movie
aliens is fucking good
