@eliotj8 жыл бұрын
Ripley was a badass, but for most of Alien and Aliens she was constantly at odds with her commanders. Decisions were being made that she disagreed with, and she had no way to stop it from happening. So while she was a "powerful character" and a cultural icon, from a narrative standpoint she wasn't a character with a lot of power.

Scarlett O'Hara, Hermione Granger, Ellen Ripley all deserved to be included in that list, more so than some of the choices made. Jessica Chastain's Captain Lewis, seriously? She was your generic gender-swapped heroic commander, only memorable for her love of the disco music.

For all the people who are saying "Hermione" or Migonical (migonnical? Idk how to spell it. Sorry!) This list is on "women of power" in the sense that they hold a high position of influence within thier respective profession and the mojo list makers only take from movie franchises. So Hermione and... (don't wanna butcher her name again)... are both powerful women in every other sense of the word, however Dumbledore still outranks them both by being the Head of the the school during rhe duration of the movie franchises.

True, Padme was queen and senator in the prequels, but if I recall correctly she didn't have a strong leading role beyond the first movie she was in, whereas Leia keeps a strong leader-like presence in all the films she's in in the franchise. So, I'm not sure I'd put Padme in the list for that reason. IDK - just my thoughts.

Nobody said you weren't allowed to watch this channel? You're creating your own stereo types simply because it's labeled as a feminine channel. The reason this channel was created is simply to empower women and focus directly on female subjects. Just because it's a channel focused on women doesn't mean you aren't allowed to watch it? If you think women are bad ass power to you, that's why this channel was made to empower that.

Alternative.Violet Uh, no. This channel was not made to empower women. It was created to make money. And the OP is correct, because if we're looking for equality we don't need to separate the genders, especially in matters of pop culture and all content aimed at the general public. I don't see a Mr Mojo channel, so we shouldn't be entitled to special treatment. Or want it in the first place.

Alternative.Violet You feel empowered because of a youtube channel that lists movie characters? That's... not how it works, you know? Empowerment comes from self-assertion, from earning respect and recognition from your actions, your behaviour and decisions. In the real world, not the internet and certainly not from social media. An adult woman who is empowered is never told she's awesome because she's a woman, but rather because she's an exceptional human being. Her gender is not supposed to come up or have anything to do with it. It's sad that a woman still needs to be told she's as good as any man by the media, instead of realizing it for herself. But you're young, you'll get it in time.

Worst list except for Carrie Fischer one of my favorites - and that was so progressive in the 70's. Most of my fave movies of all time actually have female leads: Ripley in Alien/Aliens, Thelma and Louise (co-leads), Dottie in A League of Their Own, the pregnant sheriff in Fargo, Sarah in Terminator, Jackie Brown, and I even think Tatum Oneal in Bad News Bears - all of these women were powerful from the inside first and foremost ... before being asskickers on the outside and they didn't need to kick ass against men per se to be powerful, they were powerful in an absolute sense without needing a comparison to men or anything else for that matter.
