Topic'Avengers' And 'Deadpool 2' Failed Their Female Characters And Fans (Spoilers)
Doe
05/21/18 6:38:07 PM
#37
An entire generation or two of film scholars, filmmakers and film critics have been brought up to believe that films that depict wicked men doing bad things to women are inherently more artistic and prestigious than cinema about good men doing nice things for anyone or films about women doing anything at all. Note the reception of Matthew McConaughey's romantic comedies versus the reception of his grimdark projects like True Detective and Killer Joe, or how Black Mass was heralded as Johnny Depp's "return to real acting."

What? People don't nod just because a man hurt a woman. You can make an argument about people taking more interest in 'grimdark' than a romantic comedy, generally a darker film is taken more seriously, but immediately boiling all films down to "man hurt woman vs man be nice to woman" is a bizarre first step of this article.

It follows a long line of sequels that killed off (The Bourne Supremacy, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Zoolander, No. 2) or wrote out (Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Ted 2, Transformers: Dark of the Moon) their female love interests even in cases where the romantic plot was the driving force of that previous films emotional story arc. By swiftly writing them out or killing them off, youre inherently invalidating the first films entire narrative.

It's clear why fridging is a frustrating plot device for shippers and those types of fans, but to say it "invalidates" the narrative of the first film is nonsense, as though the author of this article believes nothing is meaningful unless it exists in a state of 'happily ever after.' The lack of female main characters in media may be a valid complaint, but at the end of the day the main character is Deadpool, not his love interest. People don't want to see the same love story again. Generally these characters are a catalyst or driving force behind the main character, but they themselves do not receive complex development. People came to Deadpool to see Deadpool, not his girlfriend. In Austin Powers 2 they wrote off the first movies girl to free up Austin Powers because the movie is about Austin Powers. Again, I get why people don't like the trope, but in this case it's not so much a 'tired cliche' trope as much as a 'useful in cinema's world of making sequel after sequel.'

Plenty of minor characters do not show up in any given sequel, but it may be more obvious with love interests because there perhaps is a problem with girls just being underrepresented in action/comedy roles in all places.

and the actresses who play them) are entirely disposable no matter how valuable they were to the first film or that films word-of-mouth-driven success. To the extent that Fox successfully sold the original Deadpool as a romantic comedy, its insulting to reward that fanbase with a swift execution of one half of the star couple.

Again this whole thing should've just said "girls don't have enough non-romantic-interest roles!" That's true, but what's also true is that the corp doesn't owe the actress more screentime. She already got paid. And I have never ever heard Deadpool billed as a ROMANTIC comedy. All trailers were "look he's silly!"

eventually tortures one female character and murders another so that we find him sympathetic or complex.

Nobody sees Thanos as more complex or sympathetic for torturing his daughter. He's seen as a horrible person. People are disgusted that he killed his daughter so that he could genocide everyone else. In any case, I don't think they've made a strong enough point with these examples to make this more of an issue than "not enough good female characters." Slipping in the torture part to say 'two women' make him at sympathetic vs two men to make him scary comes off as downright dishonest of the author.

who the fuck uses a HxH ending but does nto use the second or fourth?

Personally I think the first is much better than the second, maybe that's just my taste in music but I feel like the visuals and feel of the first one show their inner selves and what they face ahead much better. The second has the cool scene where each guy is matched to their nen but besides that the most memorable part is it scrolling through character sprites for half a minute <_>

Did this happen?

"I would argue that the fan base could be equally upset with Thor, who chose to throw that ax into Thanos chest and not his head," Joe Russo tells ComicBook.com. "Because he wanted to tell Thanos that he got his revenge."

http://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/05/07/avengers-infinity-war-thor-thanos-head-hammer-kill/

No way. Thanos had total control in that situation. If it was gonna be a more lethal blow he can space stone to the other side of the universe.

the type c USB is deceiving because it has very higher voltage. Never hook your phone up to the Switch charger for example. It will do a pretty good job of charging your switch in a hour or two but will fuck up a smaller devicet
