Shades of The 100’s BloodRaina: 110 lb gal kills 10 soldiers in 10 seconds and that’s just the trailer!!!

[NavyShoe]

Strong female leads often mean “woke”.

[Chode]

nope...

[Celerity]

Octavia was brutal. As a tiny girl she didn’t fight people so much as out-psycho them.

The other women in that show, outside of Raven and Emori were a bit ridiculous, but the raven and emori characters were strong women because they didn’t attempt to be strong men.

They suffered like no others. Sad tale.

[PIF]

Right - Blood Raina slew 20 huge heavily armed warriors in less than 15 seconds - totally ridiculous.

"While we're able to suspend disbelief for incredible CGI and exciting action sequences that bubble's shattered when we we're asked to buy that a tiny waif can outsmart and out-muscle men while generally shouting she was out of the closet doing so. That's all I've got for today. Go away now."

(Got to love that Critical Drinker)

Atomic Blond, which also co-starred Sofia Boutella.
Charlize Theron’s character would go completely berserker in order to survive.

This movie is not out yet so your Critical Drinker has not reviewed it https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker/videos

Parentheses meant to illustrate parody tribute. I should have been clearer.

But I'm 90% certain that's how he'll go if he reviews it.

[Celerity]

I don’t remember that. Yeah, that’s a good example of what you’re saying.

“never saw it. do not see the fascination with ‘super’ women as killers. totally anti-feminine.”

I agree, as in stupid Girl Competitions such as the “Hunger Games” movies. I never watched one minute of that drek. Or that recent Star Wars with the girl hero. Daisy? Whatever...... But the super-Chick in “Rebel Moon” looks legitimate. Not dolled up but rough and tough. In the trailer, she (Sofia Boutella) has some good lines.

Thanks for the Atomic Blond recommendation. I saw it today. Very good movie. Charlize Theron fight scenes are very good. Check out the extended one at 1:14 in. Much credit going to her stunt double of course/ Lots of action in this movie!

[Dalberg-Acton]

I think we like the same kind of movies!

[dennisw]

I looked at the Atomic Blond credits. 25 stuntmen / stuntwomen were listed! Of course, not all were for the Charlize Theron fight scenes.
