Man of Steel (2013)

Started by Dolos88 pages

Spoiler:

"In line with what I've heard, Superman barely scrapes by in the movie against Zod and Faora and other supposed less powerful enemies, the person who literally beats the bloody hell out of him the most is not Zod (he actually apparently fares much better against the General) is Faora. You know the ass kicking Spider-Man receives from Green Goblin in spider-man 1 what with Tobey screaming in major pain with each punch and knee that Goblin gives him... multiply that by 3 and that's what Faora does to Superman. Or of Omni-Man's beat down of Invincible.

At first they're not as powerful but later on as she applies her fight training and adapts them to her powers, she gives Superman one of the worst beatings a hero has faced on camera... She "Doomsdays" him... literally pulverizing him with precision and lethal strength with hitting pressure-points, nerves and even just outclasses Supes in bare knuckle and gives Supes a severe beat down...he's total agony this entire time, bloody and broken and barely gets away. My buddy doesn't know at all how Superman defeats these guys eventually but he did say that Superman in this film gets hurt a lot more easily than Routh's pre-crisis Superman...the military can hurt him too but Faora pretty much nearly kills him in hand to hand."

LoL, I can understand Disney doing this with their princesses/female leads now having to kick all ass. But it's getting ridiculous when it crosses in every genre. Girl-Power, we get it already.

I think she beat his ass in the comic too.

But yeah I'm not feeling the "girl kicks dudes asses" in every single movie. I don't think females should just be danty damsels in distress but there are way too many badass "Xenas" out there

Rob's been salty ever since Hit-Girl whomped on McClane.

You piece of shit!

As long as Superman smacks her around later on, I don't mind.

I think you're exaggerating a bit too much....can you name at least 5 movies you're referring to?

I could name over 40.

But pretty much see anything with Michelle Rodriguez and/or Milla Jovovich for more recent flicks. Also, Disney films.

Yeah, it is a somewhat silly thing, where they go out of their way just to have it happen.

Tell him how you really feel Rob.
Don't hold back.

Oh c'mon, Rodriguez gets type casted all the time as a tomboy & Milla's simply reprising her role in a franchise.

And as far as Disney goes, for every strong female character there will always be the complete opposite damsel character in the same film.

Besides Resident Evil.... she has done other movies of the sort.

typical Irishman.

i like badass chicks, btw. Thay're much better than female characters who are only in the movie for eye candy purposes and don't actually offer anything to the plot *cough* Megan Fox *cough*

The point I'm making is that female action leads is still not prevalent as males in mainstream Hollywood flicks.

That's because they usually spend too much time in the kitchen and don't have the free moments to practice martial arts. Just the way of the world.

You weren't in that other post, Basically saying Millla has only done the Resident Evil movies.

I think you're missing the point regarding people thinking there's an over abundance of female action leads saturating the big screen.
I'm pointing out, there isn't.
