Because she has a rare bodytype for film, especially action roles, but one the OP shares and feels insecure about and has probably been given shit for in that vein for as long as they've had it? It's not exactly rocket science.

DA

That explains why OP found the film "empowering," but not why they think that her body type makes the fighting in the movie any more unrealistic than the fighting in any other comedy action movie. That it's a rare body type for film has nothing to do with how realistic it is.

Don't you know skinny, muscular people can do anything??? They're magical that way!

To be fair, it's more realistic for a really muscular dude to say, high kick than someone who's much larger/less toned.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-19 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but neither can fly without wires.

Perhaps, you should expand your definition of "fit" because I've seen many overweight people easily do that and more.

(Anonymous) 2015-07-20 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fat and middle aged and I could do a high kick with ease. It's not the flexibility - it's speed, force, the willingness to actually fight and the ability to think and strategise in a split second time frame, and none of those are intrinsically related to body-type whatever roid ragers might like you to think. They are related to training, and people who train will be fit - but they won't necessarily look like Arnie.

... I am not thin by any stretch of the imagination, and I have been easily able to high kick for ages.
