Counterpoint to this, writing a new story would require the ability to write a new story.

[@o-mangaming5042]

That's exactly what it is. Yeah, I see your counterpoint about lack of skill, but you have to ask "who put them in this position and why?" And the answer is executives who want to manipulate audiences into forgetting the past so they can actively rewrite it. We see this every day with other things, like Jada Smith making that god awful documentary claiming Cleopatra was black. They intend to tear down history and substitute their own.

For example, Mikasa in Attack on Titan. She’s a badass, strong, and skilled female character who’s actually well-written. The strength and natural fighting ability she has isn’t because she’s a woman. It’s because of her bloodline. There’s a male character (Levi) who shares her surname and is even more skilled than she is. What’s more, her physical and athletic prowess is utilized in such a way that it complements the unique strengths of Eren and Armin as well. She’s highly capable, but she can’t do it all alone, and her affection to a fault for Eren can lead her to make rash, unwise decisions when he is in trouble. In other words, Mikasa has strengths AND weaknesses, which is more than can be said for many modern female characters.

So I came up with a bit of a conspiracy theory about these kinds of characters: That these strong female lead "characters" (personally I find it more accurate to call them plot devices) are not written to appeal to everyday people, but rather to be relatable for the producers' own spoiled nepo-babies instead.

She wins almost all of her fights, but it’s how she wins. She beats opponents bigger than her by NOT fighting them head on.

@8:05 "Can people just stop taking old shit and twist it;" "Make your own shit." Funnily enough, that's what most writers want. A lot of people got into creative writing to write their own stories, they want to be like the writers they grew up with, and they want to inspire children the same way they were inspired. But the industry doesn't function that way anymore, it shifted a long time ago, investors and studios both figured out that it's safer for them to rehash, remake, re-twist, reshuffle old stories because brand recognition sells more tickets than creating new IPs. That's why the vast majority of blockbuster movies either rely on celebrities, like Ryan Reynolds or Dwayne Johnson, or are retellings of old stories, like Mulan or Uncharted. The writers can't do much, they're forced to write about what they're paid to write. Perhaps the quality shifted so much because it's the writers trying to protest that practice, and are purposefully making the movies worse, in hopes it's less profitable and the industry shifts again, or all the good writers gave up on the industry and moved to other ventures instead.

[@Pherim_]

It goes both ways. There is writers taking IPs just so they can write their stories and have almost to no connection to said IPs. Not cause they need to, but said IP is a easy way out, cause their writing would not be accepted as is, so they need a scapegoat

As a shy timid boy myself I love strong dominant cute women in movies when they’re able capable of being strong whilst also being flawed at the same time it’s just bad writing that ruins it all the time but when there’s good writing about a girl character becoming strong throughout the film I end having the biggest crush because when the girl naturally becomes strong or shows her strength through facing complicated challenges and she ends up beating the obstacles in her way naturally that’s far more attractive than just some women just having overpowered strength without much struggle at all

I have a lot of thoughts on this.. But maybe the best way to sum it up is to mention that I've practically given up on American movies and TV series. The last one I watched was probably the latest season of Stranger Things. And it's from 2022. And I would have done the same for American comics if I'd ever read them. Almost everything nowadays is ideological and/or political. Even in hiring, identity matters, not experience. An action spectacle worth hundreds of millions can be directed by an Oscar-winning director...whose Oscar is for a indie film about a woman-camera-car roadtrip....with no experience in action films or big budgets. Because she's a woman who is gay, trans and/or non-white.

8:45 - And two additions. One of the purposes of fiction is escapism, which is endangered by the constant ideological and political bombardment in these productions. And the second purpose is to show people new perspectives and life different from their own.

Guess what they are 99% fucken men. Guess who we see constantly geting tossed around humiliated, brutally killed off and just are treated as basic fodder. the MEN The one female in said army? What did she do? MANAGING TO CUT OFF SAURON"S FINGERS AND INJURING HIM. Original star wars. We see high ranked prestieged officers getting forced choked to death by Vader. Thousands of star trooper men going against rebels being tossed around and tossed aside. Everyone is afraid of fucken Vader. Princess Leia? Leader of the Rebellion? Could give zero god damn fucks about this dude in black armor. This is why i say there's no god damn point in trying to show something like that, BECAUSE it's already happening it's already being done. We aren't watching Wonder woman leading a army of amazon women and watching them get brutually murdered only for super man to appear and save the day. We aren't watching Riply and a elite team of other female crew mates getting picked off one by one by the Alien until the one male janitor suddenly goes rambo saves who he can and escapes.

These movies don't just ruin themselves, because they step on the legacy of others they actively erode what good was already there. Captain Marvel was especially egregious because it retconned a buncha stuff the other movies had competently and very purposely set up for the future.

[@mrbeastmaster1459]

Best female main characters I've seen recently; Maomao from Apothecary Diaries and Frieren from Frieren Beyond Journey's End. Both fantastic anime and displays two different ways to approach making female characters. Maomao lives in dynasty era fantasy China where women have restricted roles and being a young girl in a red-light district making her prone to being harmed. Her reaction to being kidnapped and sold is a nonchalant "Welp, guess I'm going to be late for dinner". Funny how being a woman in an oppressive system who just doesn't care because she'd rather focus on making drugs than complaining about life garners a lot more sympathy than being an empowered girl boss lawyer with literal superpowers who complains all the time. Frieren is an incredibly powerful mage with the personality of a very adorable immature immortal being. Her story is tied to her immortality and the rapid passage of time, her lifespan meaning everyone whom she cares about will die before her. The focus is on a character's story, learning to savor the beauty of the moment with others. Like most characters in the show, she doesn't need to be a woman for her character to make sense, because her journey is one any human can relate to. Option 1: A realistic look at women and how their sex does affect their lives; but not portraying the entirety of men as evil and women victims, but rather having a wide range of good and evil characters on both sides Option 2: Having a character struggle be very human, relatable, and well written, then simply making the character a woman

Unfortunately most of if not all of the Hollywood writers are captured by the concept of DEI, Same goes for people in the gaming industry, And this concept of DEI demands that everything you ever love being downgraded and turned into slop for the sake of "inclusion" even tho we all can see that it's just garbage

[@Ixar900]

And to be honest i’m tired of every movie having women as protagonist and most of the time they are just race swap of a man

[@Pherim_]

If your Character could swap gender without any issue, its a bad character. Gender is integral to a character strengh and weakness, and experiences. If no matter what, your character is going to be Strong and Smart and... at what point you are making a character thats real?

​@@Pherim_ Originally the character of Ripley from Alien was going to be male.

[@Ixar900]

@@Pherim_ sometimes they even use the same background make even less sense

[@jamesdesoyo7104]

I too don't think of what the character is like thats why I like transformer not because of megan fox really

[@phnx-en7hi]

Yet they call people who call these issues "hateful" ists and phobes eg. "Nerdrotic", "Critical Drinker", and this guy. They just do this to diminish their positions without actually listening to their legitimate criticisms. I hate this thinking so much.

YYEEEAAAHHH NEW PAWS VIDEO

[@boredboi6279]

10:23 wait so the story was already in favor of girls but they changed it anyways unknowingly or not that's pretty funny

[@ms.blackfire2927]

1:30 me to like I have not watched Disney products in 10 years. Even since I discovered anime and Manga and also got a good gaming pc. I don't need to watch s***** same s***, Disney movies.

[@Jackson-ub1uv]

This video helps explain why characters like the Doctor, at least until the Thirteenth Doctor, are so good. The Doctor, especially the Twelfth, strives to do all he can to help someone in need no matter _how_ difficult it might be. The Doctor _is_ virtuous and seemingly infallible, but only because it's who he _wants_ to be, and we sometimes see what he's like if he ever decides to _stop_ being kind; he helps because it's decent and because he knows that running away means leaving people to die, but the fact he gives it his all despite knowing his best may not be sufficient is enough to make his character interesting. That said, _God help you_ if he ever finds a reason to stop you, as he is clever enough and _vengeful_ enough to rain eternal hell on someone if they piss him off (as long as there aren't children around, of course).

I'll say this if you want to see how bad modern cinema is go watch hit movies from the 70s-90s. Ignore the special effects and bad cameras and pay attention to the stories and you'll be blown away on the originality to stuff post 2000. It seems like instead of new everyone wants to rewrite something popular instead

[@Sherudons]

No chance of making new things, the new writers are a block of "I can make this better" sort of arrogant thinkers, complete nobodies insulting giants, it's going to take a huge social shift back to normalcy before anything new comes out. So enjoy your remakes of the remastered extra cut editions... for a while.

[@paleflame]

This is what happens when you hire fanfiction overly political writers in to positions of power and it's just dumb.

[@2nd_Directorate]

Generations of entitlement paired with incompetence, inexperience and no accountability. Topped off with inmeasureable ego. This lead to all this garbage we have atm. And to make it worse they injected DEI too...recipe for disaster.

The reason why George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney was because he was tired of the death threats that were sent to him because he made the Prequels. So it's technically the fans fault.

[@FidoZip1988]

Try Watching the Critical Drinker Production Hell.

[@ZonycOrder]

I think I don't need to watch this video. I watch Paws, I like strong, opinionated women. So, yeah...

[@Uldihaa]

In defense of She-Hulk, that was pretty much what happened in the comics, too.

[@ghostshrimp5006]

Not to this degree, She still struggled through things, most of the time she has to use her brain more than her bron. She isn’t nearly as strong as the hulk, not to mention her most stand out moments is when she’s in the courtroom being a lawyer like in Civil War, She isn’t hulk again, she’s one of Bruce’s anchors keeps the Hulk from going berserk, She’s also a crime fighter that deals with the problems in the streets instead of the city is a whole. She was a fully realized character before Disney Butcher it

[@syressx9098]

She is hundreds time more awesome, funny, and more interesting in comics tho.

[@Uldihaa]

@@ghostshrimp5006 Over many, many issues. She became a Hulk and was back practicing law really quickly, with very little time spent adjusting.

[@Uldihaa]

@syressx9098 Well yeah, because they had time to make her that way. Early She-Hulk was mainly comedic, with _heavy_ emphasis on her 4th wallbreaking and sexiness.

[@ghostshrimp5006]

@@Uldihaa Right and that’s an issue with the comic writers, not knowing what to do with her. She’s had her moments, but there’s not enough people who care to do her justice

Only semi related, I hate the over serialization of tv. Star trek is one of my favorite franchises... or rather it was, see, old star trek only ever dipped its toes into serialization, the most serialized arcs being enterprise's xindi arc, which even then was mostly individual episodes with a lose overarching narrative. Basically any modern show now though "has" to be serialized. It is suffering.
