Woke script writers have destroyed good story telling, character development, and much of anything to do with entertainment these days. Especially when it comes to “strong female characters” in recent years. They are infallible, stronger, smarter than anyman that has come before they. They bypass any character development, and any sense of the “heroes journey”. (Dont get me started on the 115 pound model waifs kicking the bejesus out of teams jacked 6 foot 4, 230 pound military trained assassins). I would recommend Critical Drinker on Youtube and others associated with him, like Its a Gundam, for more commentary.
Critical Drinker is really good.
I love Critical Drinker. Another good one is The Little Platoon.
I think you have recommended Critical Drinker in the past, and I really appreciate his work as a critic!
Here's how a 115 pound model waif defeats a jacked 6 foot 8, 280 pound assassin:
Jesse told herself to keep cool. She twisted and tugged her arm but it felt as if a bear had clamped onto it.
She needed a distraction.
She pulled her other arm forward, wound up, and hammered him in the jaw with her elbow, immediately yanking her arm free. She darted away, but not before he grabbed her ponytail. Her feet flew out from under her and she slammed to the ground on her back. She rolled over and kicked him with both feet as he reached for her. He didn’t move, but the kick pushed her backwards across the ground and out of his grip. She pulled Tyler’s pistol from her fanny pack and fired two quick rounds into the man’s chest.
