anon the ayrt is rt (if that makes any sense)

YES, EXACTLY. This is what I mean. My problem is that there were SO many different ways for the lone female character with lines in this film to have been handled and for the other male characters to interact with her that would still have made sense within this universe and yet the writer/TPTB/whoever chose to execute it in such a way that it comes across, whether unintentionally or not, really patronizing and downright offensive.

I know you are trying to speak about trends, but I think you're wrong with PR. The only way that relationship could have been handled any way else would be to switch the genders of Mako and Raleigh. If you think that the very act of Del Toro choosing Raleigh as the seasoned pilot was sexist*, then I guess your point can stand. Otherwise I can't see how it does.


*Which, hell, would have made the movie bomb even harder in the States, because that's how Action Movies work, however sad that is. As it is we get two awesome women pilots in the main movie - piloting 50% of the giant robots we see moving - and even more in the non-movie canon comic.

Two women pilots, one of whose lines can be counted with the fingers of one hand and who dies the first time we actually see her in combat. And her watch had been supposed to remain unbreached for six years or somesuch. Again, it would have been really easy to make her a much more prominent character and that alone would have made a huge difference.

The only ones I feel that could have been female would have been the scientists. Either of them. Everyone else is fine by me.
