Croods 2 slaying gender norms for 7 minutes straight

I really love this movie lol I kept watching it over and over until I realized that it's literally defying gender norms left and right. No wonder I like it.
I also love the music in it! Go listen to "Feel the Thunder" by HAIM and "I Think I Love You" by Tenacious D! Both are such good songs near the end :):)
Song I used in this video:
Neopolitan (Aircheck) from Animal Crossing New Horizons

No one ever seems to notice these things that bothered me (1st movie also guys this is just the first movie I absouloutley LOVED the 2nd one) 1. Y’all know the thing where its like pretty bad to call a girl dramatic? Well in croods the father says this: “Eep stop being so..dramatic!“ 2. The bear (forgot the name) gets hurt or whatever by not listening to her FATHER not parents 3. Apparently Eep is so bad for dropping a rock on guy when guy LITERALLY HITS HER IN THE HEAD! 4. Eep could be this strong indepented not cinderellla type girl who dont need no man, well eep does need a man cause we learn she gets a crush when she first learns guy is a real person Sorry this is a long comment but these are just some things I can think of right now that always made me feel weird or annoyed/bothered me

I like how Guy in the first movie isn't shamed for being much physically weaker and not a fighter.

Its refreshing to see a physically strong girl with a weak but very smart guy who both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Best part about the breaking of stereotypes is that it's very clearly not pandering. All of the women are still feminine in their own ways and all of the men are still masculine in their own ways. They're all different people that are unapologeticly themselves. It really feels like a time before society before gender roles and stereotypes ever emerged.

I think the first movie also helps since the main crew, prior to the Bettermans, had their personalities established. No one went through a shift in personalities going into the second, everyone behaved pretty in character and the cast just bounced off of what the Bettermans were like.

I really like how everyone acts normally, cuz most times when a female character is boyish or strong they constantly need to reafirm "she is strong and not like other girls" also when a male character need help and they reafirm "he is weak and need to be strong" everyone is just who they are, and its fine.

Nothing to be proud about that. Just be normal kind well mannered people. Both men and woman should be kind and gentle to each other. Only be aggressive and angry to people when it is needed. You are only hurting yourself if you try to act tough around people/partner. Look men don't want such woman who try to be tough even though they are weak and nor do woman want weak men or aggressive men. Just be normal good people. Naturally women want men who are stronger and taller which make the man more dominant in a relationship and normal woman have no problem with it unless the man abuse his power instead of being a gentle strong person who can control his emotions. A abusive person will always be abusive wheather you try to act tough or not.

[@sanctuary1501]

@fayizat8930 "Just be normal, kind, well mannered people." "Women like very masculine men." Ummmm....Which one is it then? Because you just simultaneously said something that made sense (be kind, polite, etc) and something that just completely reinforced stereotypes ("all women want alpha males"). Not every woman is the same, just like not every man is the same; some women prefer "weak men" and some men enjoy "girlboss" women. Anyway, this is a funny video about a Cartoon film, and if that bothers you so much, why not just... Oh I don't know... go outside and touch some grass?

The Thunder Sisters bit was such a whiplash tho, at least when I first watched the movie

[@eitakou]

2:25 The first thing I read was "Being held at the waist" and thats what got me go "Pwah! HAHAHA-🤣🤣"

[@Starfiresgf]

4:02 had me laughing😂

[@Stxrsaroundmyscxrs]

Guy is my personal favorite Disney princess

[@annepixiebettinger3593]

I never fully realized this before. They just play it off so naturally, especially staying within character for the characters

[@diligantlydistracted3542]

4:48 all their expressions are priceless honestly

[@The1stPurpleCat]

After you pointed all that out… I think I remember why my dad hated this movie tbh (he’s homophobic + a little bit misogynistic). But boi, watching this brought the genderfluid-ness out of me. I wanna be strong girl like Dawn (not like Eep tho? maybe cause Dawn looks less stereotypical “tomboy” then Eep) and soft boy like Guy.

[@thisperson8441]

HELP SAME

[@Fareeh.]

The movie was not good as the first one. Not for the reasons you think but the story was not so good. Also how is dawn strong. She is normal girl.

[@sanctuary1501]

@@Fareeh. Strength doesn't just mean physical strength.

[@NerveUnderscore]

I loved this cuz the "scene for the girls" didn't felt forced in any way, everything was so smooth. My sibling and I were laughing our guts out with this movie

[@H1N4_N1NJ4]

This movie has animation quality, humor, AND great writing that is super creative, breaks stereotypes, and it works too! This is incredible!

[@MarinetteMoreau]

The fact that the first movie AND the sequel are both really good is so amazing!

[@claranunes5576]

I never notice Dawn's reaction in 4:51 She Is smiling so hard LMAO

[@beepy_boopy]

Love how Ryan keeps playing characters named "Guy"

[@Mushroom.0Manz]

When you pause at the perfect time. 2:43

[@JeffersonTehCat]

Oop

[@jessicamendoza1368]

At 1:15 this is me when it's nightime in 3008 in Roblox💀💀💀💀

[@lwaysDrawing]

I knew someone would make a 3008 reference lol. I love that game (real)

[@cosmicreef5858]

Men and women does not have a "role". Just be who you want to be and EVERYONE is different.

[@cranberryjuice3998]

dawn and eeps relationship is the best.

[@villainess7270]

honeslty at 3:44 i thought of romeo and juliet xD- roles still switched tho so that's cool

[@EaseeCheesee]

There is no heterosexual explanation for the mud fight scene

[@Curry_does-a-lot]

3:47 the gender roles are swapped is crazzyyyyyy

[@loofah527]

4:31 wtf is happening

[@Halloweenish]

Who knew that “Girlboss x Malewife” dated back to the Pliocene Era?

[@selenagolden2712]

Glad u put in the granny being a thunder sister just bc idk why she slays

[@MushroomOfMeh]

6:27 this caught me so off guard 😂😂

[@naan000]

4:20 my guy is concussed and the first thing he does is boop his "gf's" nose

[@Yoimiya_Lover29]

Broo the Croods were literally my childhood how tf did I not know they made a second movie

[@sashaloomis2121]

Also how Sash proposes to Belt at the end of the movie and Belt having a reaction often ascribed to women
