The female leads are usually not believable as they physically do things that are so beyond plausible, and defeat skilled male opponents and take way too many hits that they somehow dont feel after 30 seconds.
The willful suspension of disbelief is impossible to achieve.
In all fairness, I heard that Jyn actually required saving for the most part, so I’m doubtful they’re going to make her overpowered if that’s what you’re saying.
Besides, there are instances of female characters who with the right justifications CAN pull off what would otherwise be considered implausible. Like Supergirl, for example: She can pull off several of those stunts because, being Kryptonian, she’d be stronger than an ordinary human, though compared to males of her own race, she’s still physically lacking. But it does require an exceptionally good amount of writing to pull off, and do it wrong and they may make her far too overpowered even regarding the justifications (I’m looking at you, Rey).
Other than that, I do agree.
Absolutely true. They become video game characters, and I can’t relate to video game characters like I can to real people, so I lose the ability to care if they live or die or get hurt. It prevents me from immersing myself in the movie.
