There was a thread on this topic somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
Regardless....
I have been commenting for years that action movies and TV shows have been in a steady decline for years.
This guy explains some of what I have been saying:
One of my favorite shows of all time was The Walking Dead.
Even that show fell victim to some of the pitfalls that progressive executives have done to the industry.
Women get into fights with larger, more powerful men and somehow are victorious?
The trend of female empowerment has jumped past common sense and physics just like any action scene in a Fast and Furious movie.
You take a 120 lb woman and put her in a fight with a 200 lb man and somehow, she never breaks her hands or arms, she hits the man and he lurches backwards as if he were hit by a truck and people are supposed to just go along with this?
The Walking Dead followed a theme of female empowerment. I’m not against realistic situations but forcing us to accept impossible physical feats like I mentioned ruin all credibility.
For the record, I am not anti-female. I'm more of a realist. I know the limitations that we all have so seeing any character on screen go too far beyond legitimate capabilities we posses just annoys me.
In a post apocalyptic world, would men really surrender to women and obey their commands as leaders of communities?
No, they would not. In a lawless society, it would be fear, guts and brute force that ruled the land. No alpha men would put their egos aside and follow a physically weaker and smaller person, male or female.
TWD had 120 lb women running communities. They made rules and they were enforced.
Now...I'm not claiming that women should only be decoration or supporting members. I'm merely stating that Hollywood had taken it too far and made it seem like MEN are now to be ignored as if our physical strength and size is irrelevant.
It is not and it never will be. Just look at the mechanics of it. We are generally larger, heavier, stronger, can take more physical abuse and carry more weight. We can tolerate more wear and tear. Aside from childbirth, we as men are designed to live with and tolerate injury and burdens since as a general rule, we are the ones usually out there on the front lines.
Yes...there are exceptions but look around. The overwhelming majority of couples have males that are physically larger and stronger.
Putting out movies and TV shows that show men as physically larger yet somehow easy to defeat by smaller and weaker adversaries ruins credibility.
I'll admit, women can be skilled and crafty. They can be far more devious and vindictive. Why not focus on the legitimate strengths that women often have? It is believable and would be taken as such. In modern times, women can be CEOs and leaders because their capabilities as thinkers can be a huge asset.
To accept the thought that a thin woman can beat up The Rock or any other man that outweighs them by 100 lbs is absolutely stupid.
