Re: Aspects of a canon that immediately make you say, "Nope, not interested."

Can you clarify the second? I sense I'm forgetting some obvious cliche, but all I can imagine is a Son of Sam-style situation. "Why do you kill?" "The babies told me to." Or like a hypnotic suggestion, just a woman walking down a street who sees a baby and immediately fires up a nearby chainsaw.

Lol! I'm referring to shows/movies where the female killer kills because she lost her baby (or, child) and now she's gone insane, ooor because she can't have babies and now she's gone insane, etc etc. See: The Woman in Black, Inside (2007)*; the Devil's Bridge episode of Hinterland is a pretty typical example. There are a lot more but those are ones I've seen recently.

* Quote from one of the directors, on the wiki page: "The first idea with the story was to change the sex of the killer. In horror movies it’s always a guy chasing after young girls; it’s one of the clichés of the genre. So the first main idea was changing the identity of the bad guy. We wondered what was the motivation for a woman to hunt another woman?"

Now, why would a woman want to hurt somebody? Babies, naturally! Babies or sex (with men), that is the case 97% of the time.

It can be done well, I think, but I hate that female characters are always bad for romantic love or for the love of a child. Saying this as someone who loves kids and wants to have some one day, I'm tired of it.

Ayrt - ooooh, yes. Yeah, it's disappointing or frustrating when that motivation just barrels in out of nowhere. Amazed at that director's quote, too.

*Raises eyebrows*

That guy clearly needs to sit down and watch a few episodes of Investigation Discovery's "Deadly Women" show.

Heck, there are women who have no issue with killing children, including their own, and doing so in cold blood at that.
