Re: Alternative to the Bechdel Test?

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like the problem with this, though, is that a lot of films/works star a male lead. So while there might be great female characters, you may not get an instance of them talking to each other simply due to the fact that you're following a male character around and seeing things through his eyes.

For instance, would say Season 1 of Avatar the Last Airbender is still great even though it mostly only featured Katara. But it was how she was portrayed that was more important.

Re: Alternative to the Bechdel Test?

You're right that one of the reasons many movies fail is because the protagonist is male but I think that's less a problem with the test and more a problem with the movies. About 50% of people are women so why can't about 50% of movies have a female lead? (In 2013 only 15% of the 100 highest grossing movies had a female protagonist. Of the top 50 [couldn't find the stat for top 100] films 24 passed the test.)

a lot of works star a male lead

That's the point.
