This is exactly what I think of the movie as well A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 19/01/2012 11:24:16 PM
As soon as Thor got his godly powers back in his movie, there was basically no real problem. Now Loki is the bad guy again, and for some reason Thor needs assistance? Not to mention that it just pisses me off that there's some government agency in charge of mythological and supernatural beings like that. Yeah, like a billionaire genius with the military capacity of a nation attached to his body is going to care about a guy in a trenchcoat with an eyepatch... Not even talking about the guy who is an immortal deity.

The actress in Haywire is a former MMA fighter. Chas - 17/01/2012 11:13:03 PM 868 Views
Ok bad example Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:03:45 AM 808 Views
How many men did she beat in those fights? Ray - 18/01/2012 01:47:04 AM 799 Views
Regular but fit guys still wouldn't stand a chance, I guess. ironclad - 18/01/2012 08:23:07 AM 772 Views
I don't know random thoughts - 18/01/2012 02:21:24 PM 852 Views
Haywire may not be the best example ironclad - 17/01/2012 11:33:31 PM 855 Views
I thought she was an American Gladiator? *NM* Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:04:20 AM 361 Views
you're not wrong Jim - 18/01/2012 05:37:51 AM 742 Views
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Crush. *NM* Tigr - 18/01/2012 08:31:06 PM 359 Views
You rarely ever see that kind of stuff in "realistic" movies... DomA - 17/01/2012 11:53:33 PM 787 Views
What about Enough with Jennifer Lopez? Dark Knight - 18/01/2012 01:05:13 AM 719 Views
I've thought about it before. TaskmasterJack - 18/01/2012 12:22:29 AM 968 Views
So: Action roles should have bigger women. Vivien - 18/01/2012 03:29:38 AM 867 Views
Actually, Buffy is worse because it implies women need magic to be useful. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:34:09 AM 871 Views
That's what you got from watching Buffy? *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 06:38:06 PM 404 Views
There's not much to get FROM Buffy *NM* LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:46:35 PM 359 Views
Joyce comes to mind. And Tara - she hardly ever uses her magic. Oh, and Darla. Legolas - 18/01/2012 10:58:57 PM 752 Views
magic isn't what makes women useful Ray - 19/01/2012 04:51:35 AM 755 Views
I really doubt the outfit did much to make Xena look big. LadyLorraine - 18/01/2012 06:53:59 PM 721 Views
I challenge you to say that while wearing her costume. *NM* Vivien - 18/01/2012 10:03:09 PM 337 Views
I'm pretty sure I would look frumpy and ridiculous LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 12:37:07 AM 739 Views
Lucy Lawless is pretty much Amazonian. Rebekah - 19/01/2012 09:28:11 AM 1079 Views
It's true that she's not as tiny as others. Vivien - 19/01/2012 05:46:59 PM 718 Views
"Not as tiny as the others" is about the best you can say for her. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:54:03 PM 716 Views
of course she could LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 11:17:39 PM 686 Views
No. Aeryn - 20/01/2012 03:55:20 AM 948 Views
aahahaha. this makes me laugh. *NM* LadyLorraine - 19/01/2012 07:18:26 PM 367 Views
Re: A thought about women in action roles Fanatic-Templar - 18/01/2012 04:13:27 AM 729 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 342 Views
The problem I had with that scene is what I call Buffy Syndrome. Cannoli - 18/01/2012 05:10:59 AM 921 Views

She is some kind of super hero in super hero movie, is't she? *NM* aragornital - 19/01/2012 07:30:50 AM 377 Views
I don't think she's technically supposed to have super powers. Aemon - 19/01/2012 08:58:40 PM 721 Views
The Avengers are going to be such a lame team Cannoli - 19/01/2012 09:13:18 PM 806 Views

Contemplating the female action hero…let’s talk about Ripley Jeordam - 19/01/2012 09:24:18 PM 856 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 721 Views
So did anyone actually see Haywire this weekend? Aeryn - 23/01/2012 02:34:43 PM 796 Views
It just depends on how much you're willing to accept. Aemon - 23/01/2012 04:23:36 PM 751 Views
You're nitpicking and drawing an arbitrary line. All action is ridiculously unbelievable. *NM* Aeryn - 24/01/2012 04:53:40 AM 456 Views
I tend to agree with you. Nate - 24/01/2012 05:25:45 AM 740 Views
Realism alone is not the issue. Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:42:21 PM 711 Views
Maybe. I just feel there's a distinction between "one in a million" and "impossible." Aemon - 24/01/2012 03:53:35 PM 756 Views
