Re: Common tropes/cliches you hate
(Anonymous) 2014-07-18 02:12 am (UTC)(link)either give me Ellen Ripley levels of badass or go home.
it feels like the writers are tossing us a bone: "like here have your token chick throw out a line about how she doesn't need a man! and she can hold a gun for a few seconds i guess. NOW BACK TO THE REAL FOCUS OF THE STORY!"
i once watched a movie (I think it was In Time with Justin Timberlake) and the female heroine is running away from the bad guys and jumping off buildings and shit in sky-high heels.
that kind of stuff completely RUINS the believability for me and completely takes me out of the story. all for the sake of making the heroine "pretty" or whatever because god forbid we have realistic dirt and sweat and gore in a fucking warzone or post-apocalyptic landscape.
add to this when heroines come out of the water or the bath or wake up out of bed and they're wearing a full face of "natural" makeup.
ain't nobody wake up looking like that.
