If you are going to teach girls to be an asssholes, and that they can beat anyone up, or punch someone just because they don't like the person or what they say, then you're going to cause more harm than good to them. And that's what those movies teach them, especially current franchises such as MCU ones.
And they also teach boys to be submissive to them.
You're saying kickass female characters are sexy, but in reality, if you were the one being beated up by one of those stickgirls, you'd crawl in some tight hole from shame, wouldn't you? Bed fetishism aside, that is.
And I'm glad I was kinda right when I said in my original post: "But do you know why men were so silent about stuff like these for so long? [...] because the female characters were usually attractive, so it felt like a recompense to some guys... I guess?"
If those men don't deserve respect, then the female characters that act way worse than them don't deserve it either yet got all the applause.
By that I meant that girls don't have the same set of weaknesses and strengths that boys have.
Action movies especially. In MCU movies for instance, it has happened at least in Antman, Ragnarok and Endgame.
In that case it's more about the personality of Cap. Marvel and how girls are supposed to look up to her
I mean, if you're watching more quality stuff than the mainstream, then you surely could notice it less frequently. But there certainly are people who see what I do (mentioned in the links, at the end).
And it doesn't make ME feel emasculated, because, to me, they are just an annoying tropes that I wish would die, especially if they wanna play this "equality" thing. However they could potentially affect kids in the wrong way, I THINK.
Thanks, means a lot!
I think we're talking about a bit different things
Read the 3rd point
It's obviously not just about being buff as I've mentioned Chris Hemsworth. There is the special kind of respect and aura that men got in the past that is obviously missing in most of the modern works. And the female characters are partly the ones who took it from them, which I mentioned in the "cliche" section (2nd point). You can also click on the 1st link to see that many people've noticed the same.
...it's a 3rd link...
They never whined but they never felt like standing there in awe, getting owned by them, and looking worse overall, genius.
Okay, then how many movies can you name when the opposite happens to what I mentioned in the "cliched" section?
Nature is not playing your political games, girls are going to be like girls vast majority of the time, just like boys are going to be like boys vast majority of the time. It's better to make stuff suitable for what they like than to satisfy needs of minorities and brainwash the majorities at the same time, weakening the society as a whole. We never needed it before and yet we have SoMeHoW progressed quite naturally and calmly during that time.
And it still doesn't change the fact that men are being shitted on in fiction quite regularly.
