If they keep with the Supergirl Season 2/3 super feminist speeches
Good writers don’t have to shoehorn that shyt in to make great strong female character narratives
I expect Jameela Jamil character to take that to the 10th power
She’s annoying as fukk irl
Hope I’m wrong and will admit it at the end of the season
The feminist shyt over the last ten years has been so heavy-handed. Not even on some incel shyt
. I fukked with Ms.Marvel heavy due to the struggle between the two cultures.
Plenty of iconic female characters were strong. Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor being ubiquitous examples of strong feminity. You knew they were badasses when they got thrust from a normal life into fighting for survival as well as protecting a child against an unrelenting monster. Hell even Cersei Lannister can be added to the list of strong female characters that didn't go heavy-handed.
The latest Predator movie had that "I gotta prove myself" shyt, which is hella corny. It just feels hella unnatural to me. Part of the reason why Aliens and Terminator is that the protagnist weren't on this mission to beat the enemy. Ripley was just trying to get home to her daughter after a salvaging in the first/trying to readjust after the Nostromo incident but had to rise to the occasion to beat the Xenomorph and the Weyland-Yutani plans to grab the specimens. Sarah Connor was just a 20-something year old waitress who suddenly has a cyborg shooting at her and some dude from the future telling her the human resistance 40 years from now rest on her shoulders. It's an great feeling when you have these unsuspecting characters have to buck up and face their fears. Cersei's the same way. As conniving as she was, she was still a mother who cared for her children. And when the day came to avenge them, she claimed the Throne and fukked shyt up with the Church people, Dorne, and other Westeros rivals.
I would not have minded the latest Predator movie to be centered on the chick getting revenge on the Predator. Imagine if her bro got killed at the beginning of the movie, and she sets out to find the Pred. Maybe the other warriors in the village got merked/got shook after running into the Pred, so they don't want to go back and fight it, thus leaving the chick to have to run solo.
She's not skilled and she knows it, but she knows she's bound by principle to atleast try to find the Pred and avenge bro. Her whole journey could be her building up her arsenal, and honing her skills in a mirror of the Pred, where she deals with snake bites to demonstrate her medicine skills, trapping rabbits for food to show that she's got some skills from her bro for hunting small game atleast, and facing off with wolves/cougars/bears/ European settlers to show that she is leveling up and make it so that she's getting tactics from each fight. Have flashbacks of her and bro where he's showing her the ropes to add context to their relationship and why she's gotta kill the Predator. Payoff all the work she did by having those skills be reintroduced at the final battle.
