But didn't you hear? Rey is the strongest female protagonist because she's not a Mary Sue.

remember when the lead character's sex was only incidental to the plot

Hollywood wouldn't have the gumption to write a female who actually struggled like this for fear of being called sexists.

>has jizz thrown at her

I feel it wouldn't have the same impact if that was done to a dude

...

I've been catching a lot of movies lately with murderous trannies of some form or another.

>Dressed to Kill
>Psycho
>Ace Ventura
>Silence of the Lambs

God forbid a transsexual be portrayed as having a negative character trait these days.

Yes, take your hate discussion of television and film out of here. We will not allow nazi opinions to thrive here.

#whoseboardourboard

I highly doubt they would ever portray a tranny realistically either. With a 45% percent chance to an hero before the end of the movie.

also she's actually talented and hardworking, and doesn't use sex to get what she wants

Many real women could take note

DAS RITE

That's oppressive though

*blocks your path*

DUDE SARCASM LMAO

In the same league

REY IS BAE

Don't mind me, just posting the most underrated and forgotten capable-action-heroine

Textbook Mary Sue.

Off-topic but am I the only one who likes Manhunter a bit better. Though I'll freely admit it may be more for aesthetic reasons.

Within 48 hours of meeting Lecter for the first time, she openly disobeyed physical security procedures that the jailor/doctor and above all her immediate superior had ordered her to comply with (do not approach the glass, if he passes you something, do not accept it, do what the fuck Chilton tell you to do). Her very presence (although this isn't directly her fault only in the sense that she didn't ask to be born with a vagina) agitated the facility to the point of immediately causing a death.

Yes, she's strong and ultimately she got her man, but she was also green and sloppy. It makes sense, therefore, that her character is taken down a peg in the sequel. She's FBI but she's not THAT good, she just got lucky and was in the right place and time to save some senator's kid.

I do like to think of her as being some sort of whistleblower nowadays, though. The earnest sworn officer who knows the past corruption and chicanery of the organization, "grilled Crawford pretty hard about the Hoover years".

imdb search the filename, friend

The sequel was shit though. I like to forget it exists.

Truman's wife

Nvm, I just remembered. It wasThe Truman show

kawaii

the hours

Clarice (as far as I know) wasn't a lesbian. Also, lesbianism isn't degenerate, it's pure so long as neither girl is a dyke. Pretty sure the bible doesn't even explicitly forbid it, just men fucking each other.

>It's a Truman's wife tells him she's staying at her mom's for a week but instead flies to the Congo to gun down killer apes with a diamond-powered laser gun

You're right, I definitely wouldn't have jerked off to it as much.

A fair opinion. Also notice that the core of what I'd argued above only depended upon the 1991 kino itself, and nothing else, with the later ancillary supporting remark being... a later ancillary supporting remark.

What's wrong with her teeth? They take up half her head

What about her fivehead?

No a dude would have thrown jizz right back at the guy

...

>has jizz thrown on her face

>goes into suspect’s house withot backup

Does Boondock Saints count?

She wasn't even out of the academy but that was profoundly stupid

That's just a man with a woman's body

Not a suspect, she was looking up interview subjects, the swat team went to the suspects house, dingus

>resists sexual advances of predatory boss

#metoo

After the Interview subject pulled a gun and ran into the basement she should have AT LEAST called local PD for backup.

no cell phones in the 90's

Chilton isn't her boss, he's just some third-party scumbag that she has to deal with. Crawford is always straight with her, though Starling naturally doesn't appreciate his old-school method of getting rid of the WV cops (this actually doesn't make any sense in context either, and IMO is an error in judgment on Crawford's part, but certainly not malice. He immediately followed up with his subordinate, anticipating her problem, like a good boss does).

She stood next to the landline for a solid second or two before going downstairs. All she even needed to do was dial and leave it off the hook. Even in the 90s PD could locate her pretty quickly.

Catelyn Stark

Ik it's a show but it's longer and more intricate than any movie so it should count for more if anything

Meryl Streep in Out of Africa

how many time have movie cops run after suspects in chases when irl they've have called for backup?

But that is a good catch, as I recall, once she's in the basement, the girl calling her for help becomes the impetuous, but before she goes down there, she should have waited.

Thoughts on season 3 of Hannibal? Exquisitely done, yes?

>casual sexism from her peers
What? Checking her out when she runs by? Or is there some other scene you are blabbing about?

Do you enjoy being doubly redundant? Did you know needless verbosity is symptomatic of ASD?

>movie cops run after suspects in chases when irl they've have called for backup?

Oh loads. This one just stuck out to me for some reason.

I also watched the movie recently so it's fresh in my mind.

DISGUSTING VILE COLONIALIST EXPLOITER RACIST REEEEEEEE

fucking ignorant americans

...

Me, Meryl, or her character in OoA?

All white people, of course!

What if I'm brown but act white?

Yes, a man would have been far more disturbed since they're not used to men sexually harassing them.

Rey tbqh

>only incidental to the plot
The entire movie is literally focused on how she's a tiny, young women trying to be taken seriously by the men around her. The book is even more explicit. It's so integral that there's no way the story could even function if Clarice wasn't a women

Women are used to being hit with jizz and they even enjoy it in the right circumstances.
A man being hit with jizz is awful no matter what.

Thank you. The person who implied her gender is irrelevant is an absolute fucking moron who missed the subtext of almost every scene in the entire movie. Fuck I hate most of the dipshits on this website.

You're trans-racial and thus trans-guilty

Saying her gender is incidental is obviously missing the point of the movie/book, but along those lines, the movie didn't beat you over the head with it. Yeah, people hit on her, her boss kind've pissed her off, etc., but it was done in a way that didn't make you roll your eyes.

>but it was done in a way that didn't make you roll your eyes.
You mean it was made by people who know what they are doing and were motivated by art, craft of film-making and not to advance their fringe political agitprop, yes.

Yeah, but Chilton's a fucking cunt, so his rules are bullshit

Exactly.

We seething whites will claim this board in the name of 1488 NSDAP Sieg Heil. Kill all the non-white races. #MAGA

Fair enough. Thanks, DeChoi del Smith-Krishna.

>The entire movie is literally focused on how she's a tiny, young women trying to be taken seriously by the men around her.
No, it's focused on Lecter's mind games with Clarice and her hunting down Buffalo Bill. So is the book.

At times, it's necessary to hammer home what had clearly been missed by those who were meant to understand. This is also why good CEOs and the like practice a steady drumbeat of repetition, to the point of boredom, of what they know to be important to their business. Of course the CEOs are on some level bored with it but they know it's necessary. Just as I did.

Unironically one of the most interesting female characters in cinema. This is a woman pushed to the very edge of what is possible.

...

...

source?

Reminder that she ends up with Lecter in the books.

I like her in the tv show too

...

Lol Hannibal (the book/movie, not the character/tv show) is such a piece of shit. I was SO excited for it when it came out, and...wow.

I think OP implied HUMAN female. Not a Gorilla.

It's accurate though, trannies aren't human

Dead Snow 2

Honestly, I feel it would have. It's a fucking odd and humiliating thing to happen to anyone

She almost ruined the movie. Her accents are atrocious in films and this one is her second worst. You have the brilliant acting of Hannibal and Buffalo Bill, and then some dumb full of herself cunt. Literally any other actress would have been better.

Greatest of all time, tied with Ripley.

>but it was done in a way that didn't make you roll your eyes.

Are you fucking stupid? The flirting and dominance angle was incredibly in your face and hamfistedly done. The Asylum director was some of the most forced acting I've ever seen. She literally gets cum thrown in her eye.

no doubt inspired in part by clarice starling

Shut up, larper

It would have been hilarious.

>focused on Lecter's mind games
>he's is in the film for barely 15 minutes total

It still drives the movie.

Catelyn Stark let Robb's hostage go undermining him, and lead to the Karstarks leave them. Rob was force to allies with the Freys, dooming him and her.

Also in a moment of stupidly she she kidnap Tyrion, that starting a informal war.

sup

I can't think of many, but I want to share another one who I think is great.

Crawford hits on her at the party, though?
