Ugh. Brilliant, brilliant film with just that one terrible bit.

Meh. It fitted her character, right?

*googles "woman up"* http://metro.co.uk/2015/01/28/woman-blows-up-toilet-trying-to-kill-cockroach-5039988/

O~k

It's off big hero 6. Tomboy character tells people on two occasion to "Woman up".

Twice.

Really.

More than once.

That is why I couldn't find a movie called that.

ROFL I don't know if that link makes me more curious, or less....

Oh fuck, not Dippy!

jfc it was said two times at most. Woman up.

Once made me cringe. Twice made me vomit.

That's very telling tbh.

...she blows up a toilet, trying to kill a cockroach, and this, this? This is your problem? Really? Really??

Talk about looking for something to be offended at.

I'm not offended. I just found it irritating.

Did I go into one of the bad threads on 4chan? She says it twice. In the entire movie. A completely in-character line.

The flaw here isn't with the movie.

That character felt like she was from 2005 or something.

That line bothers me because it sounds so forced. Woman up is not a thing that many real people say, and it felt like people put the line it just to show lolgenderreversalw/manup and it rang... false, and off. The same way it always rings false and off when cartoons try to give characters a quirky catchphrase that nobody would actually say.

I have nothing against women and I don't like the phrase "Man Up" either, because pinning bravery and toughness to gender-at-all bothers me, which Woman Up also does, so there's that.

So do all other forced cheesy tryhard catchphrases that nobody would ever say in real life bother you? Because they're pretty much standard fare in TV/movies, especially ones for kids. I don't know why people here keep singling out this one.

That's more or less exactly what bothered me.

I mentioned to the pillock up thread the line in X-men about "Do you no what happens to a toad when it's struck by lighting" as an example of equally terrible writing, and you're right, the issue is it's forced. Only, imagine if whoever wrote that line was so please with themselves for thinking up something so cleaver they REPEATED it.

Also, as I mention up thread, Robin in YJ and his "Whelmed" was like nails on a fucking chalkboard.
