Like what? I don't really watch superhero movies?


Just about every action movie that has had absurd explosions, stunts, etc. that the character would not have survived IRL. Which is, well, most action movies made these days. Not superhero, but action.

MI movies. Bourne. Bond. Every Fast and Furious movie. Kingsman. And on and on.

I have no problem suspending the belief that those men (and women) surviving those scenarios wouldn’t in real life. They’re not documentaries or historically accurate depictions. They’re fictional action movies.

If little Tom Cruise can kick all of that arse (and I’ve met him IRL, he’s small) then I don’t see why suspending that same belief for a woman is tearing down society. And how puny is our society if it is.

Or I can utilize some critical thinking.

So I was correct in saying you think feminine = weak?

Again I wasn't even talking about that, but I don't think you have a clue about the difference in strength between the average man and average woman.

Because those guys are badasses. The women do crazy shite in Fast and Furious as well, but its less believable, because boobs.

Tom Cruise is an American treasure and I will not tolerate Cruise slander here.

You picked the dude that does his own stunts. Not a great example.

Because IRL, "little" Tom Cruise could probably physically whip 99% of the women on the Planet.
