It is possible to have a female lead and not be a piece of woke feminist shit.
The only difference between this movie and the movies you mentioned is that this movie was made in 2022 and therefore the producers used some SJW buzz words to sell a product.
You'd think that the "anti-media" brigade would clue in on this. [Reply]
Slays the "crazy 88" (over 40+ almost exclusively male members, and led by a woman) in a revenge tour to kill her Husband, in a genre that's been traditionally dominated by men.
Not a single fuck was given about how inaccurate that is. No one crying about "oh c'mon, how's a woman going to kill all those guys?".
You could create so much SJW tripe over that movie franchise if you wanted to.
But because Tarantino didn't make some big deal about female empowerment, that franchise doesn't even register on the "woke" radar.
You could find SJW and Woke themes in tons of movies. The only difference that seems to matter to some of you is whether they pick out parts of the story to advertise as woke or not.
Imagine if Alien came out today wherein Ellen Ripley, emboldened by her maternal instincts, dives headlong into a Xenomorph den and singlehandedly destroys an entire alien colony. The same colony that could not be exterminated by a group of 6 well-equipped manly men and one butch chick.
The fragile pussies here would lose their shit lol [Reply]

Exactly.
"How does a 120lb woman defeat a colony of Xenomorphs!?!? WOKE!"
It's one thing when a movie/show is clearly pushing "the message".
But some of these recent complaints are just anti-wokeism run amok. Seeing ghosts so to speak. [Reply]

oMg WoKe PaNdErInG!
But that's exactly how it happens in the book. Even the line.
The part they don't explain to you in the movie is that the blade Merry stabs the Witch-King with is enchanted, so he becomes weakened and vulnerable to any blade after taking the hit.
Eowyn just happened to be the one lucky enough to have the opportunity. [Reply]

Sarah Conner and Ripley were Horror movie"Final Girls" in their 1st films playing the characters. They off screened Sarah becoming a badass who's going through PTSD. It was foretold by Reese she taught everything John knows so when T2 came around her metamorphosis from being a damsel in distress to what she became that more impactful.
Ripley who also was going through PTSD just fucking snapped with all shit she went through and Newt was a plot device for that.
James Cameron know's his shit when it comes to making an action heroine. [Reply]

Uh huh.. so there was no reason to have Eowyn strike the final blow or include the "I am no man" line then?

Surely you agree it was woke pandering.
Direct from book
it actually informed her character quite a bit, since she was mostly fucking useless otherwise
and it made logical sense that she would do it, because she was next to merry for much of the battle, so she was right there, plus she was guarding her fallen king
certainly she didn't just magically drop kick the nazgul into oblivion [Reply]

So you're telling me Tolkien and Peter Jackson were both in on the wokeness? Wowwwww. It's worse than I thought.

yes, it was a believable ending
It's got exactly zero armor to protect her from the razor sharp claws, teeth, or tail of the most dangerous creature in the galaxy. Clearly an early symptom of the feminist agenda run amok. Shameful. [Reply]

They clearly showed in the scene the protection it provided - the queen was too big to get inside the exo-skeleton. [Reply]
