I also love how the girl boss in the second movie gets axed fairly quickly once the fighting actually starts. Not saying I’m prejudiced against girls, but… there’s some TruthInTelevision when it comes to girls acting like they are way better than they actually are. They usually end up learning the hard way one day.
She acts all tough, but she panics and freaks out pretty quickly, though she does get to do a heroic sacrifice.
Would have to say the 2013 reboot was a decent example of how to do a female lead right. She’s not all powerful, she just happens upon some luck and has some willpower, and had a backstory that somewhat prepared her for something like the game’s events (how she’d always be climbing around in her home, etc).
By the way, small reminder that many people were hyped for the story because Metzen is back. So much for that, huh? The same man also said WoD would be great. Just saying.^^
When they were doing the crazy ridiculous hype stuff, I knew the expansion was gonna be crap.
The more a company hypes something, the more it’s going to suck.
Someone who has something really awesome to give you, knows they don’t need to hype it up. Once they release it, it is going to downright explode in popularity.
After hearing Metzen and how he had to learn the company works now… where every one has a voice and voting or whatever on what works… my expectations are in line lol (not high at all).
Was pretty hilarious though. Gale wanted to show me some magic and I was like, “yeah, cool.” Man oh man, that wasn’t the magic that I thought he was talking about lol.
Yes, and in the first movie, she does a lot of running and hiding from the thing, and doesn’t actually fight it head on.
She doesn’t do that until the 2nd movie when a marine shows her how to use a gun, and after Newt gets kidnapped which sets off her mama bear instincts.
