I'm looking for examples of good, rational, or realistic depictions of feminist characters in films (I know it's nearly impossible to find).
My only example: Ani from True Detective Season 2 >She's not the masculine lesbian cliche >She's doesn't resent men >She's good at a almost exclusively male job. Doesn't make a big deal out of it. >She acknowledges that women are the weaker gender, and takes measures to even her playing field. Actively helps in dangerous situtations. >She takes responsability for her mistakes and tries to fix them
>Joins group to prove effectiveness of women >took over her dead husband’s profession >teaches the boys how to be proper >has the most poignant line in the love letter >isnt afraid when the two men recoil in fear >actively rebuffs a sexual advance Not a big character, but not sexist or overtly femenist
>She's not the masculine lesbian cliche >She's doesn't resent men >She's good at a almost exclusively male job. Doesn't make a big deal out of it. >She acknowledges that women are the weaker gender, and takes measures to even her playing field. Actively helps in dangerous situtations. >She takes responsability for her mistakes and tries to fix them
I'd say most movies from the early 00's and before are kind of excluded, since they were made before the SJW hysteria of the 10's. You used to be able to have spunky, helpful chicks on screen without it turning into a crusade.

>A competent woman who doesn't play the victim, doesn't belittle men and takes responsibility for her actions and her own safety. >FEMINIST OP, I...
Jack Brooks
Good as in likable or good as in well-depicted and accurate? Because you'll find nothing in the first category.
Angie Bonpensiero from the Sopranos...Pussy gets whacked, she takes the allowance, starts a body shop and makes it on her own, unlike candyass hypocrite Carmella.
Lucas Young
I think it means physically weaker.
Connor Scott
No shit, she's 58
Sebastian Gutierrez
Dunno but Ellen ripley And Sarah Connor in the first two films in their respective franchises are great, aswell as Alice from the first resident evil movie
Chase James
Fuck Alice. Nothing more than a mary sue
Samuel Barnes
This is great, I completely forgot about Knight's Heart. She was a solid character, maybe a little too easy to manipulate ("Fix my armor for free, or you can't do it because you're a woman), but all around a good example.
I'm writing an article about the mediocrity of empowerment just for the sake of gender. Looking for examples where women succeed because of their determination to be better, instead of magic powers granted just by the greatness of the uterus.
Yes, yes, I know, but I'm aiming at the "good" definition of feminism, that very few women embody.
Physically, any random guy can overpower a random woman, despite height or weight. Of course you're not going to put Tyrion against Brienne, but you catch my drift. Generally speaking is true.
If she could be more manly, she would have a beard.
These are great too, although I would avoid sagas like Terminator and Resident Evil. The more you get into women as protagonists in action/sci-fy movies, the more unrealistic and mary-sued they get.
Chase Foster
1990-91, mong. 5 years after Aliens she looks like she got caught crossing the Rio Grande.
So when she was 30-31. I don't think she looks unreasonable for her age there.
Zachary Bailey
Yup, and on average that's true. But being the weaker sex may not sound as bad as being the disposable gender, If you ask me. In the end, both genders have shit to deal with, just different kind of issues. I wouldn't say one have it worse than the other. Also, why no one has mentioned Furiosa. To me she's on par with Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley.
Dylan Sanchez
>feminist >rational pick one and only one
Dylan Watson
Carol from Walking Dead
Jason Jenkins
I honestly don't know what a "feminist" character is and I believe that neither do feminists. There are well written female characters and there are poorly written ones, if a character can be identified as "feminist" that means she's probably steering into the "woman trying to mimic men" territory and to my knowledge that shitty trope has never been executed with even an ounce of self-awareness.
Jonathan Fisher
>The more you get into women as protagonists in action/sci-fy movies, the more unrealistic and mary-sued they get But that's on the writers and directors, not the genre. People like Cameron, Verhoeven and Miyazaki have been successful in depicting convincing and likeable action heroines, whereas a hack like Paul Feig, who mostly do comedy, can't write a strong female character to save his life.
Hudson Gray
Never realized how similar Chris, Chris and Chris look
Cooper Diaz
>Yup, and on average that's true. It goes beyond "on average". Look up the physical performance results of women that apply to the US military.

"They're all fucking men Actually I think only one of them is hom- No, I mean they're all fucking men, not men who fuck other men" "Those cunts are cutting into my grandma time" Avasarla is based
