Don't see why Whedon got tumblr-bombed.

Because it's not how I thought she was the last few years in my masturbation fantasies.
Triggered so much in rage that I nearly broke my wanking wand, the only way I can reach down there nowadays.

I love that Hemsworth and Dinklage both looked at their most famous blond characters and decided to affect terrible accents that clearly hamstring their performances. Also props to Hemsworth for having the balls to commit to a role like Thor that even 10 years ago would have been seen as career suicide.

It's good but thematically shallow even by superhero standards. People get easily swayed by the god-tier animation that still looks ace like 75 years later.

Y'know I really really am for better treatment of ladies in these movies but the Bechdel test isn't some ironclad rule or anything. Terminator 2 and I believe Aliens both fail it, while Debbie Does Dallas passes.

Aside from the too-perfect-to-be-an-error mix-up about the lead actresses I thought the Bechdel test had to be two women specifically. Either way isn't it also somehow patriarchal that the entire arc for Weaver involves maternal feelings? Same for Hamilton in T2.

The "Bechdel test" was literally invented regarding the first Alien movie, by artist Alison Bechdel's 1985 comic strip where she mentioned it.


But yes using it as an ironclad rule is a dumb way to look at it

Regarding Black Widow, I think she's pretty cool

Aren't dramas and chick flicks two categories all about female characters? And then action movies are mostly for guys to pretend about punching?

Isn't there supposed to be some sort of shaming for a thing to be slut-shaming? Like, just saying that someone is a slut means that they sleep around for kicks.
Don't you have to also say that a woman sleeping around for kicks is bad, or is that just something that everyone already knows?

You're right for reasons totally unrelated to this, but I've got to admit that's a nice name/avatar combo with your post.


I don't even think it was the "feminist boogeyman" as much as it was Whedon having to hear an encylopedia's worth of criticism every single time he logs onto Twitter. Yeah it's like the "pussy" thing to do but it ain't unreasonable to be like "ok gently caress this noise I need some quiet."

the rote repetition of 'this is for gay children' becomes sad when films on that premise get insane attendance.
