That's Hollywood for you. You very rarely are gonna see a studio or director admit that a movie just sucked. It is always either "the audience not being ready" or some superficial trait. Never do they consider that the script was simply bad. When "Mars needs Moms" flopped, Disney thought that audiences obviously don't wanna see movies set on Mars so they cut "John Carter from Mars" to "John Carter" (Becaue THAT was the problem). When "Catwoman" and "Elektra" failed, it was because audiences don't want to see female superheroes and this had nothing to do with the shit directing, awful lines and bad acting of these movies. When "Solo" failed it was obviously because of Star Wars-franchise fatigue. Says the same studio that has been putting out three MCU movies a year for several years. Its always mindblowing how little Hollywood Executives understand movies or audiences. They only see charts with superficial traits
If it flops it's coz of men. I don't care how you portray men, as long as we don't throw any money at it and you don't get your bonus we will take any "criticism"
Just a thought - how sexist is it actually to make a movie where the only way they can elevate women is by degrading and tearing down men? Like, we're not stupid. If the directors feel the only way to elevate women is by tearing down men then that kind of implies that the writers and the directors themselves don't think women are capable of being in a good movie by their own merit alone. Ahh... the bigotry of low expectations rears its head once again.
This! I'm so tired of movies that try to empower women but ended up making it the whole plot. Why don't we just normalise strong female leads? Life imitates art imitates life, if we keep on making movies as a reminder that women were perceived less then we would never get over it
Very good point. never looked at it from that point of view. the truth is they had such a great opportunity to empower many ladies of all kinds through this movie. I remember the cartoon version of this was so good and entertaining especially to young boys. Had they proved individual skills and weakness can collect into an impressive team or that physically strong women can exist and smart but not so physical women can exist too, It would have been an amazing movie. Had Kristen's character had had an impossible child life and had had to be resilient on the streets to survive. then a journey where she learns to trust in her team and learns she can reliably rely on someone else without losing herself. wouldn't that have been very relatable to many girls and many guys. Such a great opportunity blown. all they managed to tell young girls is that if you are not very sexy and not very smart and also very physically strong and capable all the same time then all the men, who are all evil unless they sound so nice and tell you everything you want to hear, will destroy you.
My mom was a fan of the original Charlie’s angles, and she took a writing class in her younger days, when we saw this she was literally yelling at the screen because of how bad it was. We legit had to calm her down.

@@ashleycorp349 Thanks. The feminist dichotomy that history is basically a power game by men inflicted upon women is utter horseshit in my opinion. It also goes against nature, that is to say that in a level competition most women would be utterly dominated by most men to the point of mutual embarrassment. And that's only insulting to a modern sensibility that frames a woman as someone who is supposed to be a rival and a conqueror of her men. Very few People benefit from such a mindset.

@@endlessstudent3512 because having healthy relationship with men is not empowering and makes them dependent on men. Only relationships that are allowed is a lesbian relationship 🤣🤣
Im a male. I’m writing my anime story about a relationship during a dystopia where ones a female zombie and the male is a brainwashed soldier clone. In my story they both are willing to die for each other and I’ll even allow my male character to get wounded to allow the love interest to save him No not because of politcal statements but because they love each other and there is no gender bias crap. I believe in good characters not good gender characters. One problem with woke movies and video games is they throw the gender or race victim thing on to make a politcal statement. I have no problem with female leads example being lucina from fire emblem not that she’s the main character but you can control her and boy o boy I use her all the time like she’s a main character cause she’s a absolute badass and I ship her and robin. I never once looked at Lucina as a overpowered female. She’s a natural badass who’s female. I respect the fact that she never treats male genders differently she’s treats everyone the same. Woke movies always has to have female leads male men look stupid for no reason or there the white main villian
@@5552-d8b Sounds good, I'd read it! It sounds like neither character is defined by their gender, and you could probably switch the male/female roles without affecting the story.
@@paladinjones1833 thank you for the comment. You could switch genders and it wouldn’t be affected. In my story gender dispute is not in my anime story compared to woke movies. In my story i want my characters to be mature and not have a politcal statement to make about everything.
A O that’s no different than their roles forty years ago when they just existed as damsels, moms and love interests. Studios never know how to actually make them humans.
This. The only point they make to the characters' gender is "every previous team was all male and failed so let's see what happens" and then don't mention it again. And it's a very good movie.
Ripley was also written originally as a man. It was swapped last minute and made it more interesting. It could've been played by any gender and still be good cause the foundation writing was good.
In Alien and Aliens, Ripley didn't start out as a badass, she developed into a badass in the movie. Even in Aliens, Burk and the marines cast Ripley in a supporting role until she showed them she is the smartest, most capable person in the room. You finally see Ripley's character replace her public image among the marines after Burk's failed attempt to implant the aliens in her and Newt. I would say that is what makes good movies. Leave the politically-fueled agendas outside the studio, and just make great movies. Otherwise, it's just propaganda, because anyone can recognize it for what it is.
Remember when you could differentiate between masculine and feminine?

@Benjamin McMullan what the fuck happen to women? They can vote, they can body build and star in movies,cartoons and more and they have the Gall to say THEY are OPPRESSED!?😡
As a woman, this approach makes me like MALE characters more- because they're the underdogs, and most people love an underdog. They are more interesting and relatable. But what I find funny is how now we have all these female-led tv/movie REMAKES that we're supposed to think are ground breaking for women. As I said, REMAKES. Like this film, Mulan, Charmed, and Lara Croft. Do they think we're that stupid that we really do think there have been no good female roles before? I grew up in the 80s, and as a young kid I enjoyed Wonder Woman, Jamie Sommers aka the Bionic Woman, Leia in Star Wars, and so on. As a teen I had Ripley from Aliens, Sarah Connor, X-Files' Scully, Xena, etc.
Actually to me it feels like that is the target...make you root for the man. Also: in the 80th there were a ton of really sexist movies, treating women as object whose only reason for existence is to please men. Just watch the old movies with eyes open. However we had those good female heros in the 80th also, just very few. what makes me said, is the the movie industry just cooks up the same recipe of the old male-action movies, just replacing the man with a woman instead of using this opportunity (female action leads) to create a different type of action movies. Less: just beat everything down and win. More: avoid direct combat, use poisons, razors and yet to be invented gadget, make the female lead someone who can vanish, is clever but also looses sometimes. Why are they still not trying something new?
You'll see , in future, feminists are not embraced but thrown out of society. They become so toxic that we throw them out and their ideas burn out. Its clear that actually, feminism xinstead of empowering women, it actually is and will have very negative effects for women.
@@endlessstudent3512 bruh why u so butt hurt I've seen you in every comment trying to defend these kind of nonsensical movie and finding the negatives in the comments
Women : We want more well written female characters with realistic flaws and character motivations Hollywood : what's that? More Mary Sues, we got you covered.
brandoncheatem I think what they were tryna say is that this isn’t a problem exclusive to Elizabeth Banks. I understand that not all of Hollywood is like this and I think they do too, But it was just a simple generalization for the sake of flow in the comment and I don’t think they deserve to be judged on it :)
In the original Charlie's Angels everybody were competent in everything but there was one who was outstanding. Lucy Liu's character was the nerd, Drew Barrymore was the adrenaline junkie and Cameron Diaz was the one who knew how to use guns the best; all of them knew their stuff from one another but one was the best at it, and it didn't tear down each other, they complemented each other, aside the fact all of them were dealing with bad stuff at the same time.
When hard times come, it will, people will go back to what they naturally are. The pretend strong whamen, will all decide miraculously to wear skirts, put on heels, put their hair down and drop to their knees. History tells us this, so does reality and common sense. You will see the manly men be promoted by the MSM, politicians and corporations in unison. Everyone will know their roles, and this fake agenda, push towards communism(feminism/identity/SJW) will end within a month.
This is one thing that annoys me so much. If you're gonna have a character that is a master martial artist, or even a street brawler, give them bodies that actually make those claims look realistic. The best example I can think of that lately was Angel Dust from Deadpool. She actually looked like she could fight and, surprise surprise, her actress is an an MMA fighter, so she's built like a brick.
I disagree with that, a lot of people see the male gaze female character as the one that reminds you that they’re women, and the other side being what we see in Charlie’s angels. But gender can be a very important part of a characters identity, if someone approaches it (for either gender) with class, without going to those extremes
Amen to that. Iva always believed that. I remember watching Kill Bill, was like "Dam she can kick ass".... not... "for a woman she surely can kick ass"
I think the same any movie written and directed the right way will the a decent movie and you won’t even think about the gender about the character for example the first wonder women
a story about the struggle of women is going to make it evident that the main character is a woman - thats not a bad thing. its when it tips into being downright obnoxious, like this movie is. from the first minute we should understand that the character is a woman who struggles because of patriarchal society. we are not so dumb that we need constant, explicit and condescending reminders every 30 seconds for the remainder of the film.
As a woman I'm so sick of seeing movies like this. It's insulting to women and men. I don't like being beaten over the head with a social message. I feel like this is in way too many movies lately, some group is completely demonized. I'm not capable of doing everything just because I'm a woman, I'll be good at some things, mediocre at other and bad at some. Can't we have strong characters that happen to be women in a realistic light.
I'm a woman, and I am SO tired of these feminist movies making every male character out to be either a useless or terrible person. Why can't they be empowering without completely degrading the opposite sex?
I agree. To beat the male or to be better than the male isn't an accomplishment worth bragging about or watching. A worthy opponent and an interesting villain is needed in a story.
@@axelsmith4722 My dad has many great qualities. I say that first. However to play games (dominoes or cards or board games) with him is or can be painful. He needs to win in a childish way. I thought 'ok you have 500 or 5000 points for showing up at the table' and I suggested this to him but he refused it. My step mom said we declare you to have already be winning from before the first dice throw or card played and this he refused. I can enjoy a game if I am not the winning. I can enjoy polishing my skills and bettering my score and if the game allows by trying a different strategy. He wants to win and he is lavish and persistently petty and vengeful if he does not win. And it goes beyond that, you must lose. I enjoy beating you by sheer luck or by my brilliant strategy. However spoiling your win is not my only source of fun. I enjoy conversation during games and witty banter and mild mocking of other players. I also enjoy beating a good player. If the player were to be a fool or to be drugged so I could win, I would not enjoy the win.
Honestly I want this trend to continue for a few years so it bombs to the point that these “directors” are blackballed from the industry and we can get actual movies with plots again.
I agree. Some people take this too far tho. For example, there is this character from a video game who is gay. Being gay is a significant part of his story. People bitched about this fact. They apparently didn't pick up that his father throwing him out of the house for being gay was pivotal character moment for him. Just remember that focusing on one of these aspects to push the narrative in a well written way is not automatically bad.
@@oscara8454 Absolutely! This is a great example of a character's sexuality being important for the narrative so therefore it should be mentioned. Didn't meant to make it sound like no story can do that. I'm really sorry if it wasn't clear enough.
@@TheAlanon It should have some impact- their backstory/ childhood (abused/rejected as a kid for it) or their actions in a minor way (reacting differently to certain situations than others in the film). It should not be their entire identity. Liking horses or alcohol or fishing is not a personality. Having only one passion or trait is not something to build a character off of.
My favorite movie about empowering women is “A League of Their Own” about the first female baseball team and what they had to go through. It’s based after a true story so obviously every character is very unique in their own way, and it shows how difficult it was for a woman to do a more male dominating sport (with catcalling and no one taking them seriously) it showed that women are capable regardless of what the men said, and it didn’t say “all men are bad” either. There were good men who grew to believe in the women baseball team. Because strong women don’t need to tear men down to feel strong. And what also helped was that the message wasn’t about feminism, it was about female baseball, specifically the main character and her sister and their relationship through it all. It was about the bonds the girls shared and the bond that grew with Tom Hank’s character. It’s such a lovely movie that teaches female empowerment 1000x better than movies like these.
Nope. There were a few people and they were dubbed misogynist/sexist pigs. I mean, I knew the movie sucked when I found out that J.Law. + Zoe Kravitz were like, this script isn't good, and turned down the role. (+)
Michael pellegrini pretty sure even if they saw how sexist it was unlike most of the other staff that was helping to make it they would know it’ll be too much of a high risk and end up targeted to get fired for “other” reasons. And/Or they’re getting paid so whatevs and think about what to get on their break.
when i say i want STRONG female characters, i don’t need female characters that are both physically strong and extremely intellectual. by “strong female characters,” i want interesting and flawed characters that go through obstacles + have their own stories and lessons to tell. them having to happen to be women or girls, even better!!!
I knew exactly what you mean. SEMI- LONG POST AHEAD! For a somewhat recent example of this, I'd look at the 2015 film 'Krampus,' specifically at the character Aunt Linda. She's not a strong Amazon who also happens to be a brilliant scientist; She's an average, slightly overweight homemaker who has some issues with her sister (Which they both can be blamed for) when they all get together for Christmas. Over the course of the film, she and her sister begin setting aside their differences amid the ordeal their families are going through. Then, around the film's second act, there's a scene when they and another adult are attacked in the attic by killer toys Krampus has sicced on them. When all seems lost, Aunt Linda (Who at the time was wearing a goofy- looking Rudolph sweater) gains a nice shot of courage, and uses a broken- off icicle and axe to bravely fight off the toys and save her family. I'd say THAT's an example of a strong, empowering, inspirational example for women; An average, seemingly- unimpressive woman whose love for her family gives her the strength to stand up to evil.
Captain Marvel is exactly this. Too strong. I mean, she destroyed a ship in seconds that the whole Avengers could not even make a dent in. It's not that she's a woman, it's that she doesn't have any character flaws.
@@invizcharlie9477 I think the biggest problem with Captain Marvel is that the creators are taking a character that's unlikeable and trying to convince us that she's likeable. With Tony, he's portrayed as unlikeable and we know he's unlikeable. And then he experiences character growth. Captain Marvel is a flat, arrogant, and dull character with no growth or likeability.
I used to love Totally Spies when I was a kid and although I don't know if that's a good comparison, the point you made about them all being good fighters and that making them harder to differentiate reminded me of it. In Totally Spies the characters are incredibly similar on the surface, they're 'girls' girls' and they're all unstopable super spies. The thing is though, their personalities were so different, the way they looked at situations, the way they expressed their interests, the challenges each one of them faced and how they resolved it seemed so different and then they would be brought back together again on the common ground of being really into shopping and kicking ass. Obviously, too shallow for media for adults, but it's crazy to me that the writers of Totally Spies are better able to differentiate their protagonists and give them autonomy in the show than the writers of a hollywood blockbuster with a multi-million budget. Also, I was a boy and could still find great enjoyment from it even though I wasn't the target demographic. Powerpuff girls too but that's in a different league all together.

I also think it's interesting how, in the beginning, Kristen Stewart's character says: "attractive women something something decoration but unattractive women are invisible". Supposedly criticing men. Then the "girl power" film go on to only feature conventionally attractive women. Except like two seconds where the lady they used to "be invisible" is shown.
The weird thing is that the original Charlie's Angels have always been about badass women, so there was no reason to push the "gender agenda" when it was already done perfectly in the OG
@@eastlynburkholder3559 the gender thing gave the film the go ahead. like "ghostbusters sucked, so instead of doing a role reversal, lets exploit an already female franchise, to push the agenda". the sucky part is that they were not able to cover up these intentions with clever writing, instead they tried to use fast paced action and family guy gags - a la stranger things3.
Amen to that. Hell say what you will about the early 2000's remakes, but at LEAST they had fun and were fun to watch and embraced the over the top nature of action and didn't push that gender crap

Funny enough, the movies made back in the 2000s were way more consistent and fun. Every Angel had a expertise, personality and flaws. And they commited to being cheesy and over the top.

@UCfRuEYoGq1fTUyc19InX3cA I would have to say you are quite wrong with your quip, sarcastic or not. Maintaining a thriving civilization is more dependent on leadership, specifically population control (not just increase), rules, and rule enforcement. So JUST making babies as a woman isn't directly important to the maintenance of that civilization. It is population control that DIRECTLY involves women's ability to birth, making her being a female important. JUST like men are required to impregnate. BOTH are required here, EQUALLY. Outside of reproduction, BOTH men and women are capable of doing OTHER important key things like building, working, farming, researching, teaching, and serving in the military which ALL (I would argue) are MUCH more important factors than reproduction. PEOPLE in general can work as much as needed for a thriving civilization while still being able to reproduce fairly quickly if required. Women's reproductive value is equal to men's. Further, I argue reproduction is NOT important at this point since the earth is becoming overpopulated. SO if your comment was a snarky way of saying "All men care about is women's reproductive ability" then stfu. Men in general do not behave as if or claim this is the case. If you weren't being snarky and actually meant what you said, then ALSO stfu. You are factually wrong.
Born in the 90s here. Back in those early 2000 days my friends and I all agreed Sarah Connor and ripley are some of the best action movie protagonists of all time
12:26 that's exactly what happens in 2018 She-Ra. There's a character named Catra, who has grown up in an abusive environment, and we as the audience are supposed to sympathize with her (even when she willingly commits an apocalypse), because she's a lesbian girl. And then there's another character named Kyle, who has also grown up in an abusive environment and is constantly bullied by LITERALLY EVERYONE AROUND, and the show treats bullying and abusing him as a joke and a running gag... because he's a boy (moreover, a gay boy). Seriously, Kyle has never even made any kind of a sexist joke in the show. I don't get it.
The same thing happens here but not to the degree of apocalypse. I saw in this video alone how time and time again the angels kept hurting their male adversaries even though they were clearly out of commission. I would have been ok with the movie but the fact the angels were just needlessly cruel is what really put me off. They seemed more like villains than heroes. A hero feels bad for hurting people and they usually try to avoid it as much as possible, villains are the ones that relish in kicking their opponents when they are down. Kind of like the angels in this movie.
My mother is a fan of Charlie's Angels and loved the old movies. She was really excited to see this movie, but once she came home she told me how horrible it was and actually asked me if I could download the first movie so she could forget about this one.
Or just make actual female characters with real female traits. No one wants women pretending to be men. EDIT: also, no, you can't design a good character and just genderswap them at the end. Men and women are different. A strong character has their gender decided early in the design process. You make a female character, THEN you make them good. Too many people just stop at the "make female" part and forget that that there's more to it than that.
Sad thing is some of these movies that have all female lead characters were wrote by females themselves. It's like those female writers don't know how to write a female character.
By making female characters good leaders, don't you make them masculine? The Mary Sue is the innate birthright value of the feminine projected by gender egalitarians onto masculine domains, where one is not born with value, instead value is is made by struggle, violence, competition and sacrifice.
When I think about a great way to portray a “badass woman” I think of the animated Mulan movie. Yes, she accomplished a lot, but we see her initially really bad at what she does. We root for her and her victories are more deserved. Additionally, she still has plenty of funny moments, making her more well-rounded. I’m so tired of these “emotionless, badass, perfect” women in movies. Please. Literally give me anything else.
May I just add that I love the animated Mulan and I would never get tired of repeating it, I know it all word by word😂 You are totally right, she is portrayed as a real women, someone who is cable, strong and independent yet she also has a soft side where she cares for the people she love in this case going into war for her father and she also has a little crush on her commander, that's girly for me, the fact that she has flaws it's what makes her more humane and relatable and during combat she had support by the men to save china which overall shows that despite our differences in gender, race blah blah we are all human😊
Mulan is possibly the only female lead character in a Disney movie I have ever actually been able to label as "favourite" because of that. She struggles, she fails, but she doesn't give up, and that's a major part of what makes her a good character, that she's allowed to go through that and show regular, human emotion as she does so.
This is the problem with feminist movies , they just take a perfect human and put it in lead , then they take all of the worst kinds of people and shove it up the movie's plot , thus making it so unrealistic , even the demographic they try to target sees the problems , it's like taking a bunch of devils and one angel , then putting them in a 90 minutes long film about how angels are great and devils are dumb and also rapists , that's not how good writing works....
That is how any sort of character should be written. Don't write a character about the fact that they are black, just make a good character, that is black. Just like in real life, being a woman, or a man, or white, black, etc. Is not what someone is. To reduce someone's personality to solely the physical or ethnic appearance is what people have fought against in the past but now, the new generation of activist seem to go for that. It's the main reason why i dislike the non binary shit and the constant need to put a name on what is you. You don't need too! It's stupid and it only create more insecurity. Why is the goal now to reinforce the separation instead of making it disappear ? This shows so incredibly well in storytelling as such a character is simply not interesting and is always written in an insulting way that reinforce the US vs THEM mentality that is toxic and retarded. What an author that visited our class once told me is that : If you want to write a character that is either good at everything because they are a minority or have a terrible life because they are a minority, you are not helping, you are not writing a good character, you are trying to give yourself good people points. You are writing for your own benefit, not for storytelling.
He probably woke up. Unless he didn't. I hate it when the people I'm supposed to support in movies unrepentantly attack and hurt innocent people and brush it off.
Right? It's like the franchise has been done twice. Both are beloved in their own way. And still was empowering to women. If it isn't broke don't fix it.
I did wish that these Angels would stand out as good in their own way. The 2000s Angels are fun and nostalgic; even the 70s Angels have their own charm to them that’s easy to understand why fans would like to see reboots of the series. But nothing to these 2019 Angels sticks out besides the “women are flawless because all men suck” mentality
60 pound woman punching a 260 pound guy that flies across the room... Narrator: That's great, that we can understand... Laws of physics: Do you think we are a social construct or something here?
Same thing with comics using obese superheroes running/jumping/fighting, or video games having 9ft tall 300lb muscle doing dainty stealthy thin-people things like martial arts, stealth sneaking, or archery.
I loved the 2000’s Charlie’s Angels- they were fun, lighthearted, imaginative with unique feminine heroes. Not to mention the obviously gold star cast...Lucy Lu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore have no competition and each of them were captivating to watch.
I agree, even the second one wasn’t bad. And in that movie the characters were nerdy and strong but they had back stories and were so charming you kind of aloud suspension of disbelief just cause you liked them.

Ironically, a feminist movie has turned into a sexist one Edit: aight since my inbox hasn't caught a break since I said this imma clarify some things. By DEFINITION feminism is about equal rights for EVERYONE. I was using the real definition of the word when I made this comment. Most feminists just want equal rights. But yes, all of you are right, there are those who want women to be above men. Yes, they exist. But people who claim to be feminists while treating men unequally aren't actually feminists. The irony is that they claim and think they're feminists when they aren't. That's what I meant when I made this comment. Let me stress this. Feminism by definition isn't bad. People who CALL themselves feminists but don't realize they aren't feminists ARE bad. Let's call these people "False Feminists". Most of you read "feminists" in my comment the same way I would view "false feminists". Thank you for listening to my Ted talk

Let's not forget that a woman directed shrek and I don't even need to explain how that's a good thing based off how good shrek is. Edit: ok you know what, alot of butthurt people keep saying that I'm saying that shrek was only good because a woman helped to develop it. I'm not. I'm saying this because some commenters were saying things like "see this is why women can't make movies and stuff" so I was basically saying that gender doesn't determine how good a movie is. I'm not giving that lady all the credit. So can people stop replying with BS attacking me. I had a person say that I'm disrespectful because I called the lady a female instead of a women so can you people grow a pair and stop getting offended by everything? Thanks

I like how the third good dude says "if you need to talk I'm also a licensed psychotherapist" completely omitting the fact that licensed psychotherapists NEVER do therapy for their friends and family because any sort of previous relationship with a client can severely impact the effectiveness, credibility and the client/patient - therapist level of relationship between them.
Yeah, always important to have a distinction between friend and patient. You can (and probably should) be friendly with a patient, but until they're no longer your patient you're not quite friends
I really liked both the original and 2000's Charlie's angels. My generation was the 2000's one, so I watched those first. I loved how each of them had their own unique personality. Cameron Diaz was cute and hot with general smarts. Lucy Liu was this stoic, serious badass and was also technologically smart and Drew Barrymore was adorable and kind of "free-spirited" (not in a slutty way) with a dark past and was street smart. Even their smarts were unique to them. They complimented each other, instead of blending into each other. And then we have these wannabes...(-_-)
My favorite part is when the woman gets offended theres a poster on the wall of her and the man likes it, when she willingly posed for and agreed for it to be published.

Oh good. Here's another bit of Hollywood propaganda I won't have to go see. I am saving SO much money staying away from these pieces of trash. I think to get my fix of seeing how totally women can do ANYTHING men can do (only a whole lot better, of course) I will look up the UA-cam video where the female college student is arguing with a male reporter that women are better at anything than men are and when he brings up the question of physical strength, which only a brain dead feminist would argue women excel in, she literally goes off camera and cries and two MALE students come and jump on the reporter because they want to know what he said that upset their little friend so much that he made her cry. Way to be equal to men, Cupcake.
The thing that made the 2000s Angels good is that the three ladies had a personality and “vibe”. Lucy was the hot Asian who was smart and used martial arts, Cameron was quirky and awkward but bubbly and was a more technical fighter, Drew was blunt and guy-crazy and was a street brawler. They each fit well into their respective styles and roles and it worked. They felt like they were good coworkers but also good friends. And the men weren’t this misandrist take on men. Bosley (both Bill and Bernie) felt like competent and fun bosses. Jason had the charm that Joey from Friends did (obviously same actor). Alex’s dad seemed shocked but empathetic finding out she was a spy. And Pete seemed like a good guy, albeit a little desperate but not pushy. Eric manipulates Dylan’s sexuality but you don’t get the gRapey feeling from him. He’s just a conniving villain. And Thin Man is fucking amazing!!!!! This version….had none of that. It’s also disheartening that in the post-credits scene, they let Laverne Cox have a cameo. No hate for transwomen but Charlie’s Angels is about WOMEN. Even the series from the 70s was women fighting against the patriarchy and showing they can be just as capable. The 2000s movies showed they can be sexy, smart, and deadly and multifaceted. To have a man who dresses as a woman and “acts” out the most hyper feminine aspects of female is gross and reductive.
Remember when the previous Charlie's Angels each girl had a different trait and skills that's why they made a good team?... Now if all three can do the same.. what's the point?
Terminator, Aliens, Veronica Mars. My childhood favorite Monsters vs. Aliens where the protagonist is a 50-foot woman that doesn’t brag about being a “strong woman” but instead we’re given a protagonist that is relatable the way she reacts to the environment around her, and there’s an instance where she’s mad at “doing everything” without getting help is genuine.
We hit a very brief sweet spot, where we transitioned from weak-minded fragile women who are only house wives to Alien/Kill Bill, then we went to women are good at everything ever.
And not even the interesting kind of evil like his friend Erik Lensherr AKA Magneto, just a generic bland evil like the antagonists of all those dollar bin FPS games from the 2000s.

Hey audience what are you doing to my movie!

Because I'm not doing anything
That's Hollywood for you.
You very rarely are gonna see a studio or director admit that a movie just sucked. It is always either "the audience not being ready" or some superficial trait. Never do they consider that the script was simply bad.
When "Mars needs Moms" flopped, Disney thought that audiences obviously don't wanna see movies set on Mars so they cut "John Carter from Mars" to "John Carter" (Becaue THAT was the problem).
When "Catwoman" and "Elektra" failed, it was because audiences don't want to see female superheroes and this had nothing to do with the shit directing, awful lines and bad acting of these movies.
When "Solo" failed it was obviously because of Star Wars-franchise fatigue. Says the same studio that has been putting out three MCU movies a year for several years.

Just a thought - how sexist is it actually to make a movie where the only way they can elevate women is by degrading and tearing down men? Like, we're not stupid. If the directors feel the only way to elevate women is by tearing down men then that kind of implies that the writers and the directors themselves don't think women are capable of being in a good movie by their own merit alone. Ahh... the bigotry of low expectations rears its head once again.
It this movie was set in a fantasy world, then the writers would have an excuse to write this kind of script.
This! I'm so tired of movies that try to empower women but ended up making it the whole plot. Why don't we just normalise strong female leads? Life imitates art imitates life, if we keep on making movies as a reminder that women were perceived less then we would never get over it
Just the fact that they feel the need to do that is bad
@@milkeyway7105 It's almost as if strong characters should be a requirement in any movie.
Very good point. never looked at it from that point of view.
the truth is they had such a great opportunity to empower many ladies of all kinds through this movie. I remember the cartoon version of this was so good and entertaining especially to young boys.
Had they proved individual skills and weakness can collect into an impressive team or that physically strong women can exist and smart but not so physical women can exist too, It would have been an amazing movie. Had Kristen's character had had an impossible child life and had had to be resilient on the streets to survive. then a journey where she learns to trust in her team and learns she can reliably rely on someone else without losing herself. wouldn't that have been very relatable to many girls and many guys. Such a great opportunity blown.
all they managed to tell young girls is that if you are not very sexy and not very smart and also very physically strong and capable all the same time then all the men, who are all evil unless they sound so nice and tell you everything you want to hear, will destroy you.

Am i the only one who saw the drake meme
That's why Wonder Woman was such a good movie.
Remember when being a cool character meant you were a cool character, regardless of gender? Like Ripley from Aliens?
Ripley was also written originally as a man. It was swapped last minute and made it more interesting. It could've been played by any gender and still be good cause the foundation writing was good.
In Alien and Aliens, Ripley didn't start out as a badass, she developed into a badass in the movie. Even in Aliens, Burk and the marines cast Ripley in a supporting role until she showed them she is the smartest, most capable person in the room.
You finally see Ripley's character replace her public image among the marines after Burk's failed attempt to implant the aliens in her and Newt.
I would say that is what makes good movies. Leave the politically-fueled agendas outside the studio, and just make great movies. Otherwise, it's just propaganda, because anyone can recognize it for what it is.

Remember when you could differentiate between masculine and feminine?
@Benjamin McMullan what the fuck happen to women? They can vote, they can body build and star in movies,cartoons and more and they have the Gall to say THEY are OPPRESSED!?😡
As a woman, this approach makes me like MALE characters more- because they're the underdogs, and most people love an underdog. They are more interesting and relatable. But what I find funny is how now we have all these female-led tv/movie REMAKES that we're supposed to think are ground breaking for women. As I said, REMAKES. Like this film, Mulan, Charmed, and Lara Croft. Do they think we're that stupid that we really do think there have been no good female roles before? I grew up in the 80s, and as a young kid I enjoyed Wonder Woman, Jamie Sommers aka the Bionic Woman, Leia in Star Wars, and so on. As a teen I had Ripley from Aliens, Sarah Connor, X-Files' Scully, Xena, etc.
Actually to me it feels like that is the target...make you root for the man. Also: in the 80th there were a ton of really sexist movies, treating women as object whose only reason for existence is to please men. Just watch the old movies with eyes open. However we had those good female heros in the 80th also, just very few. what makes me said, is the the movie industry just cooks up the same recipe of the old male-action movies, just replacing the man with a woman instead of using this opportunity (female action leads) to create a different type of action movies. Less: just beat everything down and win. More: avoid direct combat, use poisons, razors and yet to be invented gadget, make the female lead someone who can vanish, is clever but also looses sometimes. Why are they still not trying something new?
You'll see , in future, feminists are not embraced but thrown out of society. They become so toxic that we throw them out and their ideas burn out. Its clear that actually, feminism xinstead of empowering women, it actually is and will have very negative effects for women.
Exactly!

When a movie is well written you don't even think about the gender of the main character
Exactly! Isn't important strong female characters, is important good characters, in a movoe well made that don't matter for the character gender.
I disagree with that, a lot of people see the male gaze female character as the one that reminds you that they’re women, and the other side being what we see in Charlie’s angels. But gender can be a very important part of a characters identity, if someone approaches it (for either gender) with class, without going to those extremes
Amen to that. Iva always believed that. I remember watching Kill Bill, was like "Dam she can kick ass".... not... "for a woman she surely can kick ass"
I think the same any movie written and directed the right way will the a decent movie and you won’t even think about the gender about the character for example the first wonder women
a story about the struggle of women is going to make it evident that the main character is a woman - thats not a bad thing. its when it tips into being downright obnoxious, like this movie is. from the first minute we should understand that the character is a woman who struggles because of patriarchal society. we are not so dumb that we need constant, explicit and condescending reminders every 30 seconds for the remainder of the film.

As a woman I'm so sick of seeing movies like this. It's insulting to women and men. I don't like being beaten over the head with a social message. I feel like this is in way too many movies lately, some group is completely demonized. I'm not capable of doing everything just because I'm a woman, I'll be good at some things, mediocre at other and bad at some.

I agree. To beat the male or to be better than the male isn't an accomplishment worth bragging about or watching. A worthy opponent and an interesting villain is needed in a story.
This movies aren't even feminist. They're just forceful.

My dad has many great qualities. I say that first. However to play games (dominoes or cards or board games) with him is or can be painful. He needs to win in a childish way. I thought 'ok you have 500 or 5000 points for showing up at the table' and I suggested this to him but he refused it. My step mom said we declare you to have already be winning from before the first dice throw or card played and this he refused. I can enjoy a game if I am not the winning. I can enjoy polishing my skills and bettering my score and if the game allows by trying a different strategy.
He wants to win and he is lavish and persistently petty and vengeful if he does not win. And it goes beyond that, you must lose. I enjoy beating you by sheer luck or by my brilliant strategy. However spoiling your win is not my only source of fun. I enjoy conversation during games and witty banter and mild mocking of other players. I also enjoy beating a good player. If the player were to be a fool or to be drugged so I could win, I would not enjoy the win.

Unless the story demands it, a protagonist's gender, sex, or sexuality should only come across as a coincidence and not the point.
Is that a quote from somewhere because that should be in every “how to write a character” manual
I agree. Some people take this too far tho. For example, there is this character from a video game who is gay. Being gay is a significant part of his story. People bitched about this fact.
They apparently didn't pick up that his father throwing him out of the house for being gay was pivotal character moment for him. Just remember that focusing on one of these aspects to push the narrative in a well written way is not automatically bad.
@@oscara8454 Absolutely! This is a great example of a character's sexuality being important for the narrative so therefore it should be mentioned. Didn't meant to make it sound like no story can do that. I'm really sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

My favorite movie about empowering women is “A League of Their Own” about the first female baseball team and what they had to go through. It’s based after a true story so obviously every character is very unique in their own way, and it shows how difficult it was for a woman to do a more male dominating sport (with catcalling and no one taking them seriously) it showed that women are capable regardless of what the men said, and it didn’t say “all men are bad” either. There were good men who grew to believe in the women baseball team. Because strong women don’t need to tear men down to feel strong. And what also helped was that the message wasn’t about feminism, it was about female baseball, specifically the main character and her sister and their relationship through it all. It was about the bonds the girls shared and the bond that grew with Tom Hank’s character. It’s such a lovely movie that teaches female empowerment 1000x better than movies like these.
That movie is absolutely fantastic.
Brilliant movie and a great cast well done and well written

I knew exactly what you mean. SEMI- LONG POST AHEAD!
For a somewhat recent example of this, I'd look at the 2015 film 'Krampus,' specifically at the character Aunt Linda. She's not a strong Amazon who also happens to be a brilliant scientist; She's an average, slightly overweight homemaker who has some issues with her sister (Which they both can be blamed for) when they all get together for Christmas. Over the course of the film, she and her sister begin setting aside their differences amid the ordeal their families are going through. Then, around the film's second act, there's a scene when they and another adult are attacked in the attic by killer toys Krampus has sicced on them. When all seems lost, Aunt Linda (Who at the time was wearing a goofy- looking Rudolph sweater) gains a nice shot of courage, and uses a broken- off icicle and axe to bravely fight off the toys and save her family. I'd say THAT's an example of a strong, empowering, inspirational example for women; An average, seemingly- unimpressive woman whose love for her family gives her the strength to stand up to evil.
Like the new terminator
Anddddd you can have both types of 'strong female characters'! Ta-da!
Captain Marvel is exactly this. Too strong. I mean, she destroyed a ship in seconds that the whole Avengers could not even make a dent in. It's not that she's a woman, it's that she doesn't have any character flaws.
@@invizcharlie9477 I think the biggest problem with Captain Marvel is that the creators are taking a character that's unlikeable and trying to convince us that she's likeable. With Tony, he's portrayed as unlikeable and we know he's unlikeable. And then he experiences character growth. Captain Marvel is a flat, arrogant, and dull character with no growth or likeability.
I used to love Totally Spies when I was a kid and although I don't know if that's a good comparison, the point you made about them all being good fighters and that making them harder to differentiate reminded me of it. In Totally Spies the characters are incredibly similar on the surface, they're 'girls' girls' and they're all unstopable super spies. The thing is though, their personalities were so different, the way they looked at situations, the way they expressed their interests, the challenges each one of them faced and how they resolved it seemed so different and then they would be brought back together again on the common ground of being really into shopping and kicking ass. Obviously, too shallow for media for adults, but it's crazy to me that the writers of Totally Spies are better able to differentiate their protagonists and give them autonomy in the show than the writers of a hollywood blockbuster with a multi-million budget. Also, I was a boy and could still find great enjoyment from it even though I wasn't the target demographic. Powerpuff girls too but that's in a different league all together.
I love Totally Spies
Dude you gave me flashbacks of my childhood
Dude totally spies and powerpuff girls are awesome. I loved watching those and I was also not the target demographic.

Putting Bill Murray in the movie helps too 👌
I also think it's interesting how, in the beginning, Kristen Stewart's character says: "attractive women something something decoration but unattractive women are invisible". Supposedly criticing men. Then the "girl power" film go on to only feature conventionally attractive women. Except like two seconds where the lady they used to "be invisible" is shown.
The weird thing is that the original Charlie's Angels have always been about badass women, so there was no reason to push the "gender agenda" when it was already done perfectly in the OG
So true . They ran in high heels but they were wedges that are easier to run in and other thoughtful touches like that made it realistic.
Exactly
@@eastlynburkholder3559 the gender thing gave the film the go ahead. like "ghostbusters sucked, so instead of doing a role reversal, lets exploit an already female franchise, to push the agenda". the sucky part is that they were not able to cover up these intentions with clever writing, instead they tried to use fast paced action and family guy gags - a la stranger things3.

@UCfRuEYoGq1fTUyc19InX3cA I would have to say you are quite wrong with your quip, sarcastic or not.
Maintaining a thriving civilization is more dependent on leadership, specifically population control (not just increase), rules, and rule enforcement.
So JUST making babies as a woman isn't directly important to the maintenance of that civilization.
It is population control that DIRECTLY involves women's ability to birth, making her being a female important. JUST like men are required to impregnate. BOTH are required here, EQUALLY.
Outside of reproduction, BOTH men and women are capable of doing OTHER important key things like building, working, farming, researching, teaching, and serving in the military which ALL (I would argue) are MUCH more important factors than reproduction. PEOPLE in general can work as much as needed for a thriving civilization while still being able to reproduce fairly quickly if required.
Women's reproductive value is equal to men's. Further, I argue reproduction is NOT important at this point since the earth is becoming overpopulated.
SO if your comment was a snarky way of saying "All men care about is women's reproductive ability" then stfu. Men in general do not behave as if or claim this is the case. If you weren't being snarky and actually meant what you said, then ALSO stfu. You are factually wrong.
Kristen Stewart very good looking?

How to make good female leads:
Make good characters.THEN make them female.
Or just make actual female characters with real female traits. No one wants women pretending to be men.
EDIT: also, no, you can't design a good character and just genderswap them at the end. Men and women are different. A strong character has their gender decided early in the design process. You make a female character, THEN you make them good. Too many people just stop at the "make female" part and forget that that there's more to it than that.
Sad thing is some of these movies that have all female lead characters were wrote by females themselves. It's like those female writers don't know how to write a female character.
By making female characters good leaders, don't you make them masculine? The Mary Sue is the innate birthright value of the feminine projected by gender egalitarians onto masculine domains, where one is not born with value, instead value is is made by struggle, violence, competition and sacrifice.

Yes, she accomplished a lot, but we see her initially really bad at what she does. We root for her and her victories are more deserved. Additionally, she still has plenty of funny moments, making her more well-rounded.
I’m so tired of these “emotionless, badass, perfect” women in movies. Please. Literally give me anything else.
Padme
@Tracker X Agreed.
May I just add that I love the animated Mulan and I would never get tired of repeating it, I know it all word by word😂
You are totally right, she is portrayed as a real women, someone who is cable, strong and independent yet she also has a soft side where she cares for the people she love in this case going into war for her father and she also has a little crush on her commander, that's girly for me, the fact that she has flaws it's what makes her more humane and relatable and during combat she had support by the men to save china which overall shows that despite our differences in gender, race blah blah we are all human😊
Mulan is possibly the only female lead character in a Disney movie I have ever actually been able to label as "favourite" because of that. She struggles, she fails, but she doesn't give up, and that's a major part of what makes her a good character, that she's allowed to go through that and show regular, human emotion as she does so.

This movie is EXACTLY why we need lesser “STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS” and more “STRONG CHARACTERS WHO HAPPEN TO BE FEMALE”
How to write a strong female protagonist:
Write a strong protagonist who is female
Write a human...How about that. With flaws, mistakes and character. But make her female and adjust accordingly. How about that
This is the problem with feminist movies , they just take a perfect human and put it in lead , then they take all of the worst kinds of people and shove it up the movie's plot , thus making it so unrealistic , even the demographic they try to target sees the problems , it's like taking a bunch of devils and one angel , then putting them in a 90 minutes long film about how angels are great and devils are dumb and also rapists , that's not how good writing works....
That is how any sort of character should be written. Don't write a character about the fact that they are black, just make a good character, that is black. Just like in real life, being a woman, or a man, or white, black, etc. Is not what someone is. To reduce someone's personality to solely the physical or ethnic appearance is what people have fought against in the past but now, the new generation of activist seem to go for that.
It's the main reason why i dislike the non binary shit and the constant need to put a name on what is you. You don't need too! It's stupid and it only create more insecurity. Why is the goal now to reinforce the separation instead of making it disappear ? This shows so incredibly well in storytelling as such a character is simply not interesting and is always written in an insulting way that reinforce the US vs THEM mentality that is toxic and retarded.
What an author that visited our class once told me is that : If you want to write a character that is either good at everything because they are a minority or have a terrible life because they are a minority, you are not helping, you are not writing a good character, you are trying to give yourself good people points. You are writing for your own benefit, not for storytelling.

It’s almost like it’s the same as writing a good strong male character...

“You have to be everything.” Is a toxic image that leads to SO much anxiety for girls young and old.
^^^^
Revelation right here
If you have to be everything it means you won't need anyone, no wonder why these types of women are single and dying alone with their cats 🤔
“You can do anything “ is a bad message. Because let’s be honest, you CAN’T do everything.

Right? It's like the franchise has been done twice. Both are beloved in their own way. And still was empowering to women. If it isn't broke don't fix it.
I did wish that these Angels would stand out as good in their own way. The 2000s Angels are fun and nostalgic; even the 70s Angels have their own charm to them that’s easy to understand why fans would like to see reboots of the series. But nothing to these 2019 Angels sticks out besides the “women are flawless because all men suck” mentality

I loved the 2000’s Charlie’s Angels- they were fun, lighthearted, imaginative with unique feminine heroes. Not to mention the obviously gold star cast...Lucy Lu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore have no competition and each of them were captivating to watch.
@@adolfohernandez4307 this one is the tv show, right?
I agree, even the second one wasn’t bad. And in that movie the characters were nerdy and strong but they had back stories and were so charming you kind of aloud suspension of disbelief just cause you liked them.

Also none were kristen stewart levels of bland

Ironically, a feminist movie has turned into a sexist one
Edit: aight since my inbox hasn't caught a break since I said this imma clarify some things.
By DEFINITION feminism is about equal rights for EVERYONE. I was using the real definition of the word when I made this comment.
Most feminists just want equal rights. But yes, all of you are right, there are those who want women to be above men. Yes, they exist. But people who claim to be feminists while treating men unequally aren't actually feminists.
The irony is that they claim and think they're feminists when they aren't. That's what I meant when I made this comment.
Let me stress this. Feminism by definition isn't bad. People who CALL themselves feminists but don't realize they aren't feminists ARE bad. Let's call these people "False Feminists".
Most of you read "feminists" in my comment the same way I would view "false feminists".
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk

Let's not forget that a woman directed shrek and I don't even need to explain how that's a good thing based off how good shrek is.
Edit: ok you know what, alot of butthurt people keep saying that I'm saying that shrek was only good because a woman helped to develop it. I'm not. I'm saying this because some commenters were saying things like "see this is why women can't make movies and stuff" so I was basically saying that gender doesn't determine how good a movie is. I'm not giving that lady all the credit. So can people stop replying with BS attacking me. I had a person say that I'm disrespectful because I called the lady a female instead of a women so can you people grow a pair and stop getting offended by everything? Thanks

For those asking, the quote comes from Sonic Boom Season 2, which is miles better than the game.
I like how the third good dude says "if you need to talk I'm also a licensed psychotherapist" completely omitting the fact that licensed psychotherapists NEVER do therapy for their friends and family because any sort of previous relationship with a client can severely impact the effectiveness, credibility and the client/patient - therapist level of relationship between them.
Yeah, always important to have a distinction between friend and patient. You can (and probably should) be friendly with a patient, but until they're no longer your patient you're not quite friends
And also makes him an absolute SIMP 😂
To be fair, he says that to a girl who isn't his friend but rather someone he met a few minutes ago.
He should've just announced he has a vibrating detachable penis and a zipper mouth. Same energy

I really liked both the original and 2000's Charlie's angels. My generation was the 2000's one, so I watched those first. I loved how each of them had their own unique personality. Cameron Diaz was cute and hot with general smarts. Lucy Liu was this stoic, serious badass and was also technologically smart and Drew Barrymore was adorable and kind of "free-spirited" (not in a slutty way) with a dark past and was street smart. Even their smarts were unique to them. They complimented each other, instead of blending into each other. And then we have these wannabes...(-_-)
My favorite part is when the woman gets offended theres a poster on the wall of her and the man likes it, when she willingly posed for and agreed for it to be published.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb. It's hard to take complaints about objetification seriously from a person who profited heavily from it.
That's literally the exact same thing I thought of when I seen that in this video.
The movie is so bad that even women didn’t want to see the movie, that tells you something
Oh good. Here's another bit of Hollywood propaganda I won't have to go see. I am saving SO much money staying away from these pieces of trash. I think to get my fix of seeing how totally women can do ANYTHING men can do (only a whole lot better, of course) I will look up the UA-cam video where the female college student is arguing with a male reporter that women are better at anything than men are and when he brings up the question of physical strength, which only a brain dead feminist would argue women excel in, she literally goes off camera and cries and two MALE students come and jump on the reporter because they want to know what he said that upset their little friend so much that he made her cry. Way to be equal to men, Cupcake.
@@maryannanderson7517 you must be a male named mark andrew pretending to be a privilege femme (female)
This comment is so good on so many levels. Bravo.
I wouldn't want to be portrayed as an unrealistically sexist caricature that looks down on men either, tbh.
@No Neck the Wonder Dummy. XD
The thing that made the 2000s Angels good is that the three ladies had a personality and “vibe”.
Lucy was the hot Asian who was smart and used martial arts, Cameron was quirky and awkward but bubbly and was a more technical fighter, Drew was blunt and guy-crazy and was a street brawler.
They each fit well into their respective styles and roles and it worked. They felt like they were good coworkers but also good friends. And the men weren’t this misandrist take on men. Bosley (both Bill and Bernie) felt like competent and fun bosses. Jason had the charm that Joey from Friends did (obviously same actor). Alex’s dad seemed shocked but empathetic finding out she was a spy. And Pete seemed like a good guy, albeit a little desperate but not pushy.
Eric manipulates Dylan’s sexuality but you don’t get the gRapey feeling from him. He’s just a conniving villain. And Thin Man is fucking amazing!!!!!
This version….had none of that. It’s also disheartening that in the post-credits scene, they let Laverne Cox have a cameo. No hate for transwomen but Charlie’s Angels is about WOMEN. Even the series from the 70s was women fighting against the patriarchy and showing they can be just as capable. The 2000s movies showed they can be sexy, smart, and deadly and multifaceted. To have a man who dresses as a woman and “acts” out the most hyper feminine aspects of female is gross and reductive.
Yeah
Remember when the previous Charlie's Angels each girl had a different trait and skills that's why they made a good team?... Now if all three can do the same.. what's the point?
Their personalities were so distinct from each other it was such a good dynamic to watch

Good times
Kill Bill for example
Terminator, Aliens, Veronica Mars.
My childhood favorite Monsters vs. Aliens where the protagonist is a 50-foot woman that doesn’t brag about being a “strong woman” but instead we’re given a protagonist that is relatable the way she reacts to the environment around her, and there’s an instance where she’s mad at “doing everything” without getting help is genuine.
We hit a very brief sweet spot, where we transitioned from weak-minded fragile women who are only house wives to Alien/Kill Bill, then we went to women are good at everything ever.
