I'm pretty sure I would look frumpy and ridiculous

but regardless, the fact still stands that Xena was intimidating because of Lucy Lawless. We saw episodes where Gabrielle was dressed like Xena. Definitely not the same effect!!!

The actress in Haywire is a former MMA fighter.

How many men did she beat in those fights?

Haywire may not be the best example

So: Action roles should have bigger women.

Actually, Buffy is worse because it implies women need magic to be useful.

Joyce comes to mind. And Tara - she hardly ever uses her magic. Oh, and Darla.

I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big.

I challenge you to say that while wearing her costume. *NM*

Lucy Lawless is pretty much Amazonian.

It's true that she's not as tiny as others.

"Not as tiny as the others" is about the best you can say for her.

Indeed. See for example, any Robin Hood made in the last 20 years. Maid Marian HAS to fight. *NM*

She is some kind of super hero in super hero movie, is't she? *NM*

I don't think she's technically supposed to have super powers.

I thought Sarah Connor in T2: Judgment Day was a realistic portrayal of the action heroine.

It just depends on how much you're willing to accept.

You're nitpicking and drawing an arbitrary line. All action is ridiculously unbelievable. *NM*

Maybe. I just feel there's a distinction between "one in a million" and "impossible."
