Hey, look, kids, a national socialist!

But seriously, a video about propaganda in pop culture? You think that's something new? Have you not seen Top Gun, or any other movie that features the military?

How can men be the dominant sex, according to your natural order, if they're the ones having all the pissy fits on the freaking internet. Crawl back into your insecurity hole.

Wonder Woman has been around for a long arse time.

There are plenty of movies with male heroes you can watch to feel safe. 90% of the MCU is male.

I don't know, maybe some of us just enjoy movies. The Ghostbusters remake sucked. Wonder Woman and Mad Max were awesome. Not everything is politics and gender usless you want it to be.

Archetypes exist because they resonate on a primal level, and super bad arse female characters who destroy men, among other modern trends, just won't pass muster long term.


So super badass men resonate on a primal level with you? That's cool, the heart wants what it wants.

Normally is wouldn’t even consider watching that analysis of Aliens.



But that was a damn good video. Thanks for posting.

I don’t know that I’ve ever agreed with you on anything.

Very realistic of how a woman would have to fight in those circumstances without ridiculously “overpowering” a man.

Mad Max has been mentioned but that’s another good one of feminism and women power being presented organically as opposed to forced.

Like I said, just let the heroine speak for herself. Try and highlight it and emphasize it and it loses the authenticity.

Mad Max is probably the most overrated action movie of the last decade but the worst thing about that movie is feminists using Furiosa as some sort of icon when she is a complete and utter disaster and only makes it past the first 15 minutes because of guy who is 5 hairs away from from baboon and mumbles nothing bigger than two syllable words.

Then again, maybe she is the perfect feminist icon for this generation of pathetic.

hasn't she been a thing since the 40's?

Expect for the part where Max nearly kills Furiosa and is the entire reason she and her crew survive

I wouldn't call that an action movie. Action movies, have actual action. driving a car in the desert for an hour isn't action.
That was one of the most boring movies i've ever watched. I still have no idea why so many people love it.

It's a modern practical effects masterpiece.

Give me an example of the masterful effects.

And if the movie is still boring and shitty, i dont' really care about the cool masterful effects.

I didn’t enjoy Fury Road either. I was bored. One big car chase. It did look nice though.

Over half the effects in that movie were cgi so again, what makes it so special? I didn’t think it was bad. Solid action movie to watch once and call it a day.

Without CGI

So the shite they were doing was a real stunt show. The story sucked but that's been the case since The Road Warrior.
