I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 18/01/2012 06:53:59 PM
I'm pretty sure Lucy Lawless made Xena look big.

However, I do think Xena and Gabrielle are two of the best "women heroine rolemodels" that media has given to us.

A thought about women in action roles Dark Knight - 17/01/2012 10:42:28 PM 1686 Views
The actress in Haywire is a former MMA fighter. Chas - 17/01/2012 11:13:03 PM 1008 Views
Ok bad example Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:03:45 AM 955 Views
How many men did she beat in those fights? Ray - 18/01/2012 01:47:04 AM 942 Views
Regular but fit guys still wouldn't stand a chance, I guess. ironclad - 18/01/2012 08:23:07 AM 910 Views
I don't know random thoughts - 18/01/2012 02:21:24 PM 1005 Views
Haywire may not be the best example ironclad - 17/01/2012 11:33:31 PM 999 Views
I thought she was an American Gladiator? *NM* Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:04:20 AM 428 Views
you're not wrong Jim - 18/01/2012 05:37:51 AM 893 Views
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Crush. *NM* Tigr - 18/01/2012 08:31:06 PM 420 Views
You rarely ever see that kind of stuff in "realistic" movies... DomA - 17/01/2012 11:53:33 PM 931 Views
What about Enough with Jennifer Lopez? Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:05:13 AM 860 Views
I've thought about it before. TaskmasterJack - 18/01/2012 12:22:29 AM 1114 Views
So: Action roles should have bigger women. Vivien - 18/01/2012 03:29:38 AM 1025 Views
Actually, Buffy is worse because it implies women need magic to be useful. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:34:09 AM 1023 Views
That's what you got from watching Buffy? *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 06:38:06 PM 470 Views
There's not much to get FROM Buffy *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:46:35 PM 420 Views
Joyce comes to mind. And Tara - she hardly ever uses her magic. Oh, and Darla. Legolas - 18/01/2012 10:58:57 PM 912 Views
magic isn't what makes women useful Ray - 19/01/2012 04:51:35 AM 902 Views
I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big. LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:53:59 PM 877 Views
I challenge you to say that while wearing her costume. *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 10:03:09 PM 398 Views
I'm pretty sure I would look frumpy and ridiculous LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 12:37:07 AM 888 Views
Lucy Lawless is pretty much Amazonian. Rebekah - 19/01/2012 09:28:11 AM 1245 Views
It's true that she's not as tiny as others. Vivien - 19/01/2012 05:46:59 PM 868 Views
"Not as tiny as the others" is about the best you can say for her. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:54:03 PM 854 Views
of course she could LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 11:17:39 PM 833 Views
No. Aeryn - 20/01/2012 03:55:20 AM 1102 Views
aahahaha. this makes me laugh. *NM* LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 07:18:26 PM 427 Views
Re: A thought about women in action roles Fanatic-Templar - 18/01/2012 04:13:27 AM 864 Views
Indeed. See for example, any Robin Hood made in the last 20 years. Maid Marian HAS to fight. *NM* Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:35:19 AM 416 Views
The problem I had with that scene is what I call Buffy Syndrome. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:10:59 AM 1175 Views

She is some kind of super hero in super hero movie, is't she? *NM* aragornital - 19/01/2012 07:30:50 AM 438 Views
I don't think she's technically supposed to have super powers. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:58:40 PM 861 Views
The Avengers are going to be such a lame team Cannoli - 19/01/2012 09:13:18 PM 951 Views
This is exactly what I think of the movie as well A Deathwatch Guard - 19/01/2012 11:24:16 PM 968 Views
Contemplating the female action hero…let’s talk about Ripley Jeordam - 19/01/2012 09:24:18 PM 1037 Views
I thought Sarah Connor in T2: Judgment Day was a realistic portrayal of the action heroine. Bookwyrm - 20/01/2012 05:57:08 AM 868 Views
So did anyone actually see Haywire this weekend? Aeryn - 23/01/2012 02:34:43 PM 946 Views
It just depends on how much you're willing to accept. Aemon - 23/01/2012 04:23:36 PM 892 Views
You're nitpicking and drawing an arbitrary line. All action is ridiculously unbelievable. *NM* Aeryn - 24/01/2012 04:53:40 AM 522 Views
I tend to agree with you. Nate - 24/01/2012 05:25:45 AM 896 Views
Realism alone is not the issue. Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:42:21 PM 854 Views
Maybe. I just feel there's a distinction between "one in a million" and "impossible." Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:53:35 PM 896 Views
