Yawns another poster who has never been in real world.

How is she an action hero?

Everything she did is possible.

Do you expect all women to be big muscle machines that is movie land not the real world.

When she came up against men who had training she was beaten every time it showed the men over powered her.

I’m glad you like her. I liked her in Trek and Guardians. But I have no interest in seeing this.

She’s fine as a support character, but she doesn’t have enough charisma — or the physique (unless she’s playing a prisoner held without food for several weeks) — to lead an action film or series.

You like 12 year old boys, don’t you?

The USMC's own study showed that a trained female soldier is only as effective in combat as an untrained man. It's very strange that when studios show elite soldiers nowadays, they usually cast women. There's no way that the best soldiers in the world are female.

reply

Agreed.

And everything Hollywood does these days is strange.

Very. Very strange.

Maybe not the best soldiers but definitely the best assassins imho. Lot of men are weak against the female allure (me included) unless they're part of the LGBT infinity brand.

Whatever the case in the end, since we don't know what really comprises the CIA, we can only speculate. If it works, it just works.

reply

True, but it doesn't personally bother me because I know I'm viewing fiction, and the content is well written.

Is your concern that portraying women unrealistically has real world consequences that are harmful? In other words, are real women being put in, or putting themselves in dangerous situations by being influenced through Hollywood depictions like this?

reply

That never entered my mind because I don’t care about that.

The leader of a special ops group isn’t going to be sitting at the table with the president. There’s a chain of command and there would be multiple layers separating them.

There would be a team of people crafting a plan. Military experts. Generals. Commanders etc…

The leader of the team is not going to be a 90lb female and mother of 2. Lmfao!!! She would be a complete liability on the front line.

She’s too emotional and unhinged dropping F bombs every other word. Military people at that level are extremely professional. They have a job to do and have 1000 things going on at the same time. They don’t have time to be telling everyone to go fuck themselves.

More amateur night writing from modern Hollywood.
