They're always moving the goalposts. Deadpool had that UFC woman in it kicking rear end but that doesn't count because she was hot and had cleavage. It also had Negasonic Teenage Warhead kicking rear end but that didn't count because she's hot and didn't have enough screen time and I can guarantee they didn't like whatshername from Firefly "being in peril"... Also she was hot.

They? Who are they? Some random straw-womyn... But I dunno, maybe e-mail whoever wrote that piece and ask why none of the above counts as examples of strong women in film.

its because none of these people have seen alien and their concept of strong female character is bits and pieces of what other people have said frankensteined together into an unattainable and unrealistic pedestal

i had a tumblrina ex and she got mad when i was playing through half life 2:ep2 and alyx gets mortally wounded cause 'of course u have to save the woman and she can't save herself' despite the fact that her character literally exists to save the white male player character from peril and its a sequel where they flip it around for a few chapters

its got nothing to do with actual portrayals of strong female characters or nuanced discussion people just want to get mad

If they remade Lawrence of Arabia the horses would be CGI and instead of his homosexuality being undertones and suggested half the dialogue would explicitly mention it.

So I guess if there is someone in trouble and needs to be rescued, we can't go help them if they have a vagina because that would make them a damsel in distress

Lawrence of Arabia doesn't have a single line spoken by a woman and only a brief long shot of a group of women in the whole film. Good luck with that!

Well if lack of women is all it takes, The Thing has it beaten. Only somewhat female presence is a robotic voice on a computer.

There's a woman at Lawrence's funeral, but yeah, there are no female speaking parts. The film's editor was female and she won an Oscar for it, though.

Also Ripley has been my dream-girlfriend sense I first saw "Alien" when I was in like middle school. I did eventually settle down with a girl who can drive a forklift which I guess is sorta close. I guess.

It's funny how wealthy white women are perhaps the most privileged people on earth, yet the feel a need to try and shame others for some "privilege"

Yep, that poor guy living in a trailer sure does lead a privileged life, not the millionaire actress

I had never seen Alien until recently, just the second one a bunch of times. The first one is really good too, definitely plays up the horror stuff. I am not looking forward to when they reboot Alien (you know they will announce an Alien reboot, if they haven't already).

It was called Prometheus.
